TWO DIVORCE SUITS,
SIMILAR COMPLAINTS,
FILED At CREENv|LLE

GREENV1LLE, June 1.-TWO d.
vorce suits were fled in common pleas
court here by two wives, whose com
plants are practically the same. Daisy
Pease asked for divorce, alimony, Gus
tody of two minor children, and in
junction in her suit against Earl
Pease. The plaintiff alleges that she
was married to Pease in 1908, at Ar
canum, and that two children, aged
three and one years, are result OF
the union. For some time past. she
states, her husband has been guilty OF
gross neglect of duty. and has failed
to provide for herself and children. He
also has been guilty Of associating
with other women, and has refused to
appear in public with her, she says.
Pending a hearing of the action, she
asks the court to restrain Pease from
disposing OF two automobiles. a house
moving outfit, some real estate. and
other things owned jointly by them.
The second suit was filed by Ber-
nice Flory against Edward Flory. She
accuses her husband of neglect OF
duty, failure to provide, cruelty, gam
bling and drunkenness. Flora last
year abandoned his wife and two chill
dren, and as a consequence was in
dicted by the grand jury. He was
later brought into court and plead
guilty to the charge. He was SEN
fenced to one year in jail, but sentence
was suspended upon his promise to
pay $13 to his wife at that time, and
s25 per month thereafter. Flory has
failed to comply with these terms,
the plaintiff states. and she asks for
divorce, alimony, and custody of their
two children, who are aged three and
five years.

THOUGHT OUT BY JUVENILES
Examination Papers in American Pub
lie Schools Are Replete With
Unconscious Humor.

Every once in awhile some school
teacher reveals to the world some Of
the unconscious humor of her pupils
as shown in their answer to questions
in their school tests. One such an
swer sent by schoolmarm of Spring
field, S. d., sounds like il might be a
criticism of much of the literature of
the day, for the pupil remarks:
Sentiment is mostly of dust or 9th
er impurities that it may get and this
usually settles at the bottom"
Another answer seems TO disclose a
serious disorder from which the moon
is suffering, leading to the conjecture
that what pseudo scientists have mis-
taken for efforts to signal the earth
may be but frantic calls for the doc
tor. The pupil says:
THE moon has sort of blisters on It,
some of them have busted and have
formed deep crusts."
"RiverS carry their load in solution
and expansion" but qualities this dis
COnCertng statement with another
which says: "Benefactors which nhu-
ence the amount of runoff are, If they
are streams in deserts, most generally
they are always short"
Another young scientist explains the
formation of snow by the statement
that it is formed by the freezing of
the atmosphere that is on the air, and
another explains the formation of rain
as the small particles Of ice that get
so big they cannot stay in the air, and
so come down as rain - May Strana-

INVOKED NAME OF HARVARD
How Indignant Boston Woman Was
Paeified by Assertion Which Some
what OVerstepped Truth.

The burying ground on the Boston
common has what is probably the most
unusual stone in the city. It was set
up "In memory of Mrs. Sally Morse
(wife of Samuel Morse) who died
July 25, 1899 of the cramp in her
stomach, after about one hours Illness
aged twenty-six years and two
months"
one day relates the Detroit News,
the door Of the cemetery Office in the
city hall was flung open and a pom
pous matron entered and requested that
the stone on the common be destroyed,
because of the indeicate and unlady-
like inscription The visitor waXed
more lnsistent as the secretary pleaded
a lack of authority to destroy any
thing. Finally the caller took a dra-
matte stand and demanded that some
action be taken while she waited. The
secretary happened to be great ad.
mirer of George Washington, but he
had work to do, and he saw one way
out.
Madam" he whispered impressive
ly, that stone is of great value. Har-
ward university has just been making
an investigation and has pronounced
that stone important evidence Of the
first authentic case of appendicitis.
Madam" he continued that stone
cannot be destroyed"
At the magic name Of Harvard the
visitor retreated, vanquished, and
went forth to tell her friends of the
"appendicius stone" as it came to be
called.

The Willys-Knight Sceve-Valve Mo-
tor could never have achieved its re-
markablc performance, and its universal
favor with the public, ii it were merely
quiet-or IL it were merely powerful.
But the combination of quiet that en-
dures and power that increases with use
naturally commands the public appreci-
alton which the Willys-Knight Sleeve
Valve Motor has attained-and right
fully holds.
The very quictness of the motor is
reflection OF that perfection of design
and mechanical accuracy which en-
sures its enduring performance. The re-
markablc mechanism almost never needs
adjustment The combustion chambers
OF the cylinders are so shaped that the
full force of the explosion is turned into
power. Great enconomy of fuel results.
And the motor. free from valve troubles.
is wonderfully flexible. Long usage
merely seals compression more securely
and increases the velvet flow of power.
Thus the enthusiasm of Willys-Knight
owners rests on the extraordinary fact
that the Willys-Knight Sleeve-Valve
Motor improves with use.
