Mrs. Smith is in Rochester recuper-

Just underwent at the Mayo Brothers

In compliance with the laws of Min.

a hearing on his wife's action before
he can be taken from the state. Only
the governor is permitted to hear such
a trial. Consequently it will be
necessary to wait until Mrs Smith is
able to make the trip from Rochester
to St Paul to present her case.

opinion. to be counted as one OF the
Capitals residents. A certain part or
dignity and rehnedment could be
added each year by spend ing part

Campbell. and the profession could
well dispense with the home brew
garden at Buzzard's Point, Long
Island, where Harry Jarboe and
Honest John, the barber, go each year
to hide from the city sweltering.
Miss Campbell Is awaiting a second

lieving that she has hit upon some
thing original and an idea that ought
to be more serious than 1t appears at
first blush.
