DISCOVERS FIRST
HUSBAND LIVING
Thinks Husband Dead, WO-
man Marries Another;
First Alive.
GETS TWO DIVORCES
Now She Gets a Divorce Be-
fore Judge Slater From
''Both" Husbands.

There are not many women who
apply for and secure a divorce from
two husbands at the same time, but
this is an unusual occurrence which
has just happened in the municipal
court, Judge Slater granting the two
divorces. As a matter of accuracy,
however, one of them was really an
annulment.
May Larson, the plaintiff in the two
actions, secured divorce from Frank
Larson, and an annulment of her
marriage to Charles Keller. She was
married to Keller while Larson was
still living, although this was fact,
she declares, which was unknown to
her at the time she entered the second
marriage contract. In the meantime
she has been deserted by both men,
and" now has secured through the court
the definite legal divorce.
Married Larson In 1902.
The plaintiff was married to Frank
Larson, in 1902. Shortly after the
marriage he deserted her, she says.
They have no chillren. She said that
she sought to locate him but failed,
anu aICeF nine years, nearing HOtulHS
of him whatsoev she decided that
he must be dead. These facts are set
forth in the divorce complaint of May
Larson VS.. Frank Larson. She asked
for divorce and divorce was granted.
Then in the divorce complaint of
May Keller VS.. Charles Keller, she
sets forth the circumstances of that
marriage. On May 18, 1911, she was
married to Charles Keller, believing
that her first husband was dead. In
1916 Keller deserted her also, she
says. There were no children born
of this union either
Then Hears of First Alive.
1t was after the desertion of Keller,
she says, that she learned that Larson
was still living. She said that he had
been seen in the northern part of the
state, but she did not see him herself.
Her anxiety to be free of both hus-
bands, neither of whom had made
good, was made clear to the court, and
the petition was granted. She en-
joyed the unique experience of legally
getting rid of two husbands in one day.

Night Blooming
Cereus Blossoms


Stoughton, Wis., "A very rare
flower was displayed by Perley Grid
die when a night-blooming cereus that
he had raised blossoned.
The plant blossoms for only one
night during an interval of many
years. 1t is considered quite an ac-
eomplishment to get one of these
flowers to the blossoming stage. They
produce a big, white, beautiful flower
with a pinle forder on the outer
petals. 1t looks much like pond
lily.
1t starts opening up at six o'clock
and reaches its height in blossom at
midnight. From then on, it gradually
closes up; by six o'clock in the morn
ing it has entirely closed.

Judge Slater Doing All He
Can to Halt Divorce
Parade to ken0sha.
MUST PAY FEES HERE
Litigants From Other Coun-
ties Are Told They Must Pay
Divorce Counsel Fees Here.

Every effort is being made to put
a crimp in the practice of Milwaukee
attorneys to bring divorce actions
from that city to Kenosha courts for
trial and thereby making a Reno OF
this city, according to the statement
made this morning by Judge John G.
Slater, judge of the municipal court
of Kenosha county.
81 suppose that there will be the
usual parade of Milwaukee divorce
seekers here this afternoon" declared
Judge Slater as he recalled that for
several months Thursday afternoon
has been entirely taken up in that
court with the hearing of divorce &C
taken every step that we can to put
an end to this practice which has
clogged up the legal machinery Of this
county. There is no state law which
would enable US to send these couples
back to the county where they reside
and order them to bring the divorce
action there, but we can charge them
the divorce counsel fees, which is be-
ing DONE"
NASdAtS 91J QlOIts
This means that it costs each Mil
waukee couple fifteen dollars more to
get a divorce in Kenosha county than
it would cost in Milwaukee county
Under the law a divorce counsel is
hired by the county to advise the
court regarding divorce actions brought
in that county. If the litigants are
residents of the county in which the
action is brought, the county pays the
$15 fee to the divorce counsel.
1t would be manifestly unfair to
expect Kenosha county to pay the d.
vorce counsel fees for all Of these
cases where couples come from Mil
waukee to secure divorces in the courts
here. Attorneys for these couples,
however, have become very eloquent
before the court as they plead that
this cost should not be placed against
their clients; but despite all Of the
pleas Judge Slater insists that the
fees be paid by the litigants when
ever neither Of the couple is resident
of Kenosha county.
Has Cut the Number.
This same ruling is adhered to by
the Racine courts and courts in other
adjoining counties, which have also
proved meccas for divorce seeking
couples. It is helping to cut down
the number of divorces, but of course
in some Instances is not a heavy
enough charge to halt the transfer
of the action from Milwaukee to Ke-
nosha county or any other county.

Tokyo >-4A1s While the rising
generation of japan appears to be
little affected by radical thoughts
there is unmistakable evidence of gen.

ing papers collected from the students
Of 100 middle schools and girls high
schools throughout the country.
The department. started it's investi-
cation last year with the views of OBJ
tanning the mental reactions of young
Japan on various moral and ethical
questions. The students, is was said
apparently were quite frank in an
swering the questions put to them.
One of the officials, summing up his
conclusion, said it was particularly
noticeable that many boys and girls
seemed to lack the power of judging
between right and wrong.

inspiration, that it gave one feeling
of belonging to something very def
