GREAT DIVIDE TO
REMAIN IN NEVADA

RENO, New, Dec. S.--Now that Of
ficial returns have definitely decided
the failure of Bishop George c. Hunt
irg's initiative measure to extend the
time necessary for a Reno liberty
tond," members Of the local divorce
colony are busily engaged in writing
letters broadcast to the four corners
Of the earth telling the joyous news
They are not depending upon the
regular news channels to carry the
glad tidings, and many stamps have
been licked and kilograms sent to
carry the word that Nevada is still the
game preserve" Of those who seek
refuge from the slings and arrows Of
Outrageous matrimony.
Local business men, who formed an
association which vigorously opposed
any change in the existing divorce
law, report a revival OF interest in
their offerings from dainty boots to
Paris hats and from diamond solitaires
to jeweled vanity cases.
One Of the developments immedi-
ately expected as a result Of the de-
feat Of the measure which would have
sounded the death-knell of "quick d.
vorce" in this state Is the rebuilding
of the famous Riverside Motel. former
headquQarters for divorce residents"
which burned down eight months ago.

He Didn't Trade

Tie lb1ull lruuS
Sometimes a man MAKES trade
which he regrets, and at other times
he refuses TO make a trade which he
later would like to make. This is
the fix w. r. Hanscom is in today.
Recently q party of hunters which
included Hanscom Glenn Slater, Jack
SNYDER and DR.. Ross Winner went to
the west end of the county where
they hunted ducks for several hours
They brought down a total of IS,
but some of the fowls were not re-
trieved. In the lot was one duck by
Hanscom which had narrow bill
with sharp "Sawteeth" along the
sides of the bill. II was an oddity
to all of the hunters, and Wien it
came time to travel homeward, Jack
Snyder offered to trade his ducks
for this one odd one of Hanscom's.
But Bill refused to trade. This
morning he hunted up Ed Averill to
get his bird classified. Ed did this
and Hanscom found that he had
what is commonly known as fish
DICK" The flesh is tough, unpal-
NAle, and the fowl is worthless
except, of course, that it might be
used to advantage in trade. And

been Mayor in England before, al
though there have been severa'
widows and single women.
Il intend to fulfil the function OF
the husband of the Mayoress, ac-
companying her to social functions
and participating with her in public
ceremonies. l don't intend to inter
fere with her duties. She will shoul-
der those alone. But what am
going to do about those duties which
have heretofore fallen upon the
shoulders of the wife of the Mayor
of Bermondsey?
There are many duties, chiefly
of u philanthropic character. which
usually fall to the lot of tho wife
of the Mayor.
ut has been the custom of the
wife of the Mayor to preside over
borough collections in connection
with hospitals, cripples, and in SINH
lar charities, and be responsible for
their organization.
II have not actually made up my
mind as to whether 1 should take up
these duties or not
Flag days have been worked in

committees, with the wife of the
Mayor as chairman.

HELPED IN GOING THROUGH
Motorists Got to Their Destination, but
"Papa" Had Had Lot to
Do With It.

A party Of tourists was attempting
to reach Pendleton on the Pendleton
pike between Indianapolis and Pen
dletOn when one of those things that
happen to motorists so frequently on
country roads happened. 1t was the
day after a heavy rain and the ground
was thawing rapidly when this party
descended hub-deep In good, OLD
Hoosier mad. Through some trick Of
luck, assisted by elbow grease, the
automobile was rescued from the mud
hole and the party about-faced to in
uulre at the nearest farmhouse Of an
other route to Pendleton.
A small country boy came to the
door and seemed very reluctant to
give information as to the condition
Of other roads leading to Pendleton.
"Have any other machines been 60
ing through on this road?' the boy
was asked.
"Sure, they all have been golf
through. Papa's been takin' EN-
through for 81 apiece. You guys Is
IS the first customers we have lost" re-
plied the boy with deep frown.
A look around disclosed that papa
too was dlsheartened at the good luck
Of the motorists in getting out on their
own power, because he had his team
hitched up ready to increase his mud
hole income for the week.

SAD FATE OF HENRY JASON
Affect Condition Of Henpecked Hue
band, Example Of tho Loss OF
Personal Property.

Henry Jason, the noted henpecked
husband, Is another example Of what
the loss of personal liberty can DO to a
man. When the fathers Of our constltu-
ton passed the law relating to matrl-
mony they forever put the shackles on
Henry Jason. Henry's zero hour came
when Portia Strong led him to the altar
and the justice Of the peace tied the
fatal knot. He has tasted no nectars
Of liberty since, Bert Walker writes
in the Topeka Capital. But. Henry
has not the strong and forceful charac-
ter Of Old Bill Shiftless, 50 he sub.
mlts without a whimper. He tried
whimpering once and it put him IN a
hospital for two weeks. One day when
Portia was away attending a meeting
Of the Advanced Thought club, which
was very busy emancipating woman,
a long-haired leader left a pamphlet
at the Jason kitchen door Henry
stopped long enough to read the front
page. The first line read: ut IS
high time to administer a rebuke and
to check the forces which are try
Ing to overthrow our constitutional
immunities and liberties Just then
Henry heard a step on the front porch.
He thought 1t was POrtia. He was
at once stricken with palsy and fell
in a dead faint. 1t was two hours
before he came TO and was able to
burn the pamphlet. He was still
shaking like an aspen leaf when Portla
returned at midnight. Had Henry
Jason not been deprived Of his personal
liberty when a young man his name
would have gone down on the pages
Of history alongside those Of John L.
Sullivan and Jack Dempsey.

DRAINAGE Of zuyder Zee.

At the inland shipping congress held
at Rotterdam recently the drainage OF
the Zuyder zee formed the most inS
portant subject Of discussion. 1t was
pointed out that the drainage would
make necessary the construction of a
number Of new canals. One speaker
pleaded that the building Of new vii
lagos and factories near the polders
should not be left to mere chance. Vii.
Lagos with churches should be built
near the canals, but industrial works
near the dykes. Such an arrangement
would prove Of advantage to shipping,
and would prevent any pollution of the
polder water. A number of the water
ways connecting the Zuyder zee ports
are to be preserved, but wherever
polders form a continuation Of the ex-
listing land, new harbors will have to
be made.-Sclentific American.
