Once rich himself, Patterson resorted to the worst' when he lost his money. He sold me on rtno ftnoaoJAn tr\ ffiot for 11,500. The purchaser took me to Europe and there we?well, I'll drop the curtain on what we did there. Do you wonder that I shot Patterson?" This will form the line of defense for Mrs. Gertrude A. Patterson, now in jail at Denver, Col., for shooting and lolling her husband, Charles Patterson, in the Phipps sanitarium in ^ tnat cuy last weea. it meaus sue will plead "temporary insanity, the climax of a long series of unspeak* able brutalities." "He spat in my face, struck and called me the vilest names a man can l call a woman," she declares, and | shows a bruise on her cheek, which, * she said, resulted from her husband's blow. "I have evidence in my husband's own handwriting that will undoubtedly clear me before a JUIJ, UWtticu iUis. i au^iwu, i Mrs. Patterson told her hideous story without reservation to her atItorney, concealing nothing concerning her relations with a Chicago man, and, at the same time, overlooking nothing which would serve to discredit the character of her husband. According to Patterson's diary, found among his effects, he knew his wife was in Europe in January and February, 1909, and could not have left her husband iij, February on r? excuse of going to visit her family V in St. Louis, as he alleged in divorce suit he had filed against her.

He told me he might take me where he pleased, that he might have me as long as he pleased and V that the sum paid in cash was his compensation. Four weeks later, when the Chicago man and I were in Europe, Patterson wrote me that, t "riiocc t returned to him bv first boat. he would follow me and kill me. He had spent the money then and he wanted me back that he might secure more. That was the life to which he led me. He sold me at a time ^ when I did not know where my next meal was coming from. "Three months after we were married my husband arranged with the Chicago millionaire to take me off his hands for as long time as he cared to keep me. We went abroad at once. Our stay in Europe, especially at Paris, was just what you might expect that it was. Why go $ into details?" ASSAULTS SCHOOL TEACHER.

Barnhill, in the confusion of hurriedly moving from a berth on a Pullman car, to which she had been wrongly directed by the conductor, forgot her "puffss" and "switches" and "rats," which she had placed in the little hammock provided for that and other purposes. When she discovered her loss and requested the conductor to restore her ornaments, he publicly presented them to her in the presence of a car full of passengers, greatly to their amusement and her embarrassment. This and other things happened, according- to Mrs. Barnhill's petition, filed in court to-day, in which she seeks recompense for the loss of a $100 diamond pin and damages to her feelings caused by the humiliation to which she was subjected by an unfeeling conductor. According to Mrs. Barnhill's petition, she had retired in -the berth assigned her and had gone to sleep when she was awakened and ordered to go to another car. She was not given time to dress, but in her nightgown and, kimona, and minus her hirsute adornments, was compelled to appear before a car full of passengers. She charges that such treatment of her was "brutal and an outrage, causing her deep humiliation, chagrin and embarrassment." Barnwell Baptist Association.

ALLEN, W. G. BRITTON, Committee. President Taft's Appeal to Women. In the November Woman's Home Companion President Taft writes an article called "The Dawn of World Peace" in which he makes a special appeal to women on behalf of the arbitration treaties, which, if passed by the senate and signed, will go a long way toward abolishing war. "The evil of war, and what follows in its train, I need not dwell upon. In our Civil war the death-roll in the Union army alone reached the appall ing aggregate of 35y,uuu. ?*ui me suffering and perils of the men in the field, distressing as they are to contemplate, are slight in comparison with the woes and anguish of the women who are left behind. The hope that husband, brother, father, son, may be spared the tragic end which all soldiers risk, when they respond to their country's call, buoys them up in their privations and heart-breaking loneliness. But theirs is the deepest pain, for the most poignant suffering is mental rather than physical. No pension compensates for the loss of husband, son, or father. The glory of death in battle does not feed the mouths of orphaned children, nor does the pomp and circumstance of war clothe them. The voice of the women of America should speak for peace." China is forming the American chewing gum habit. A Hong Kong firm last year sold $5,000 worth of the American manufactured article. II Car of horses and mules for this season.
