just one day:
Mabel Oooley, tbe twelve-year-old
daughter of Mm Clauds M. Oooley, of
South Chicago, whose husband, 4. J
Oooley, was arrested for threatnlng to
shoot bar, told a story which resulted
In tbe granting of a divorce to her
mother.
Tbe little girl took the stand after
her mother had testified to long years
of cruelty, “kept In the background
and lived down for the children'i
Mike," until fear of her life overcame
bar. Mabel plainly was frightened
by the unusual scene and the sharp
questions of the lawyers. She said in
her lisping little voice:
"I remember when mamma was
ehoaked by papa a long time ago
He wanted her to go to town and she
did not want to. He hit her and she
was sick a long time.”
“ Do you remember what took place
on the night of February 27 last?”
CHILD TULLS OF ATTACK. (
"Oh, yea,” answered the child,
"Papa had gone to lodge and we sat
up waiting for him. I went to sleep,
and when 1 woke up papa was strlk
ing mamma. He bit ber twice in the
face and her face bled
“That will do,” said Judge Front
sharply. '
Tbe woman testified that she mar
ried Oooley, a farmer, In 1892. There
were four children, the oldest being
Mabel. The first Incident of cruelty
she told of was in 1899, when he
threw a glass at ber, which shivered
against the wall, flew back and cut
her face.
Again In 1900 she testified, ber
husband drove her out into the snow
with a revolver because she refused to
~ go to town with him. Of the last in
ddent, on February 27, wife and
daughter told tbe same story
Neighbors testified, aaying that
- they bad remonstrated often with the
man over his treatment of his wife,
and bis only excuse was:
“How oonld 1 help it?”
“Is be a man of violent temper?'
asked Judge Frcst.
“Well," said the witness, a neigh
boring farmer, "he Is the kind of i
man who would put out tbe eyes of
his cattle if they did anything he did
not like.”
This clinched the case. Mrs. Oooley
at present is teaching school and re
siding with her mother. The couple
seiarated two months ago.
''GIDDY THING” VUBStoS "cad.
Mrs. Stella Brennan, In applying for
a divorce from James J. Brennan,
claimed that her husband had thrown
"mystic powder” at ber on the street
to induce her to return to him after
their separation. Ju(*ge Kavannaugh
decided she was a “frlvilous person”
and ber husband a “cad.” As for the
"mystic powder,” this was ascribed
to her early reading of Anderson's
fairytales. \ ’
The ill-assorted couple were,married
last June. Brennan wax A widower,
wl th four children. His girl wife tes
tified that these children were the
first cause of the trouble. ^ ~ ^
"I did not like them,” she said.
James threw kerosene all over me one
night, and on another occasion hit me
with a wet toweL” This was the oc
casion of ber leaving him. Sbejan
away to Kalamasoo, Mieh., and was
taken back by her husband. _ She left
again a few weeks later.
"I met James at State and Madison
streets one night,” she said, “and he
induced me to <ro home by throwing
mystic powder at me. I could not
see It, but I knew he did It. 1 felt
strange and my will power was para
lysed.”
"She can have a divorce without
alimony," said the Judge. "The girl
is a giddy thing and xhe husband Is a
cad. She should have had more sense
than to marry a man with four chil
dren. It takes a long-headed girl to
do that.”
HUSBAND HIS OWN LAWYBR.
The unique .feature of a husband
pleading his own case was witnessed
in Judge Ffoet's Court room.
The suit was that of Mrs. Mary
against August Sohemmer. Tbe wo-
mau took the stand with a three-
months old baby In ber arms, a baby
that laughed and crowed to the dis
traction of lawyers and Judge, bliss
fully Ignorant of the fact that it was
losing Its father.
Mrs Schemmer's main grounds for
divorce appeared to be that her hus
band, a motorman, had threatened
ones to hit her with a picture, and on
another occasion had pushed her over
a trunk.
"I was afraid of him," she reiterat
ed constantly. "When he was sober
ha was a perfectly elegant husband,
hoi whan ha was drunk he was a
tenia.”
Just as bar case appeared to be won,
the “perfectly elegant husband" ap
pealed In the Court In person. See

The lawyers objected agate, and

"I will waive all that,” said Mrs.
Behemmer hurriedly.
"Well," said Judge Frost, "as you
tehave It settled, I will let it go
at that.”
DSHD WORDS, NOT A HATCHET.
A surprisingly large hatchet of de
serted wives appeared in the verljus
Court rooms,

for this. » ■'
"I do not know,” she said, "I wss

"‘Did be drink?"
“Yes; sometlmss he

* How did you express your disap
proval of this?” asked Judge Heard
"By a hatchet?
,r O, no; I Just talked."
* ‘Call tbe next eaae,” «ald the Judge.
DIVORCK AFTER 37 YEARS.
John Mulvey, sixty-flva»years old,
and a retired iron manufacturer, ap
plied to Judge Fraat tor a divorce from
Valenda J. Mulvey, slxty-two years
old. He accused hi* wife of habitual
drunkenness.
"We were married In 1868,” said
the husband. "We were happy for a
number of years, until Mrs. Mulvey
contracted tbe liquor habit."
A settlement waa effected whereby
Mrs. Mulvey la to receive 145 a mouth
alimony. Tbe Mulveya have lived at
3,633 Wabash avenue.
"She was too fast for me and I was
too slow for her,” was the concise
way ,ln which William Green, 633
West Superior street, told Judge
Heard of hla troubles with Mrs. Eva
line Green. "She left me a week
after our marriage five years ago,
continued Green, “and never returned.
I am tired of waiting for her.”

Ool. J. E. Norment, writing to Tfie

vital, moving present to all the tradi
tions of an honored, useful put. Fbr
more than a half century tbe uplift

sent forth Its own meaning, Its own
Influences. “Length of days Is In her
rizbt hand and in ber left hand are
riches and honor”—the wealth be
ing more in what has been done than
is usually Included In other considera

The graduates Tuesday morning,
thirty-three in number, composed the
seopnd largest class In the history of
tbe college and Mr. B. a Robertson,
Jr., aged 16 years, has the distlnotion
of being the youngest student who
ever graduated from Wofford.
The auditorium was again filled to
overflowing, prominent Carolinians
fr5m all portions of tbe State being
present in numbers and with these
was a fine contribution of local repre
sentative men. And u Wofford stu-
dlhts do throng to similar exercises at

together when Wofford senda forth Its

President Snyder beaded tbs pro
cession to tbe stage, which was soon
filled with the olaas of ’05, the
faculty and others, and the exer
Hies began by singing the hymn which
has here been sung for yean, the gen
tlemen "raising the tune” Tuesday
morning having performed this office
regularly for thirty-nine yean. After
prayer by the Rev. Dr. T. H. Law,
President Snyder arose amid expec
tant silence for this lint words Dr.
Snyder said he was not responsible for
tbe request which bad been sent to
him, which request ins something
about the ladlee bats I There was soft
rustling heard at onoe, hats cams off
and whits hands were busy fastening
waving, stray tresses.
Then came the fint event of this
crowning day of tbe year when Presi
dent Snyder announced the first of
the senior speakers. These young
gentlemen and their subjects were an
nounced in the following order:
A. D. Betts, "Turning Points In

ding was complete, Goodman noticed
another layer of akin, under tbe outer
outlole, which began to harden a few
days after the old skin was removed
He has given stripe of bide to his ao-
quaintenoes. When they heard that
he was to have another change of skin
he was besieged wlth'riqueeta for eon
venlr patches.
"The second shedding which I am
undergoing he said Wedneaday, "Is
tbe first I have had that Is not pain
ful. All I ate Is relief from pain. 1
have given up hope of being cured.
“The pain I suffer Is what annoys
me. Otherwise I do not mind It. Af
ter getting a new skin I feel like a
sixteen-year-old boy. In the seven
weeks sines the first shedding began
I have lost 25 pounda I weighed 165
pounds and now tip the scale at 140
I am beginning to feel strong again.
The second change Is not weakening
half so much as the first one.
"I have peeled the skin from my
body, legs and arms. I am letting It
harden on my hands and feet. It Is
the second prooeas this year, and It is
the first that I have undergone that
Is not painful. Before the skin be
gins to harden I suffer with a rash
which la torturous.
"I expect In two days time to fin

will be all right, for at leaatone year.'

says.
“I have been offered 125 for these,”
be continued, “but do not oaro to

Goodman was born in Tilsit, Pros
sla, Germany, June 26, 1864. He was
, and gaged him with a to
lopt' consciousness than, a nd did not
awake until 10 o’clock.
"When I first entered tbs room and
Started to undress, and heard tbe men
in them in the dark,” said Sparks, “I
thought it was a practical toke being
played, on tee by some of the fellows
In thcTOuse. When they clutched my
throat, though, I knew it was no joke.
I wanted to give tbe alarm then, but
they held me ao dose 1 oould’nt. They
bon me to the bed, ramed a doth Into
my mouth, and spread a towel over
my face. I knew no more until Mrs
Steele, mother of Miss Steele, came
Into the room and loosened the towel
She had heard my loud breathing.
"Tbe doth had nothing on It, bat
the towel was covered with some dark
substance, with a sickening odor.
This nauseated me and I was sick
from tbs effects of it at midnight.”
According to Sparks, the robbery
must have been committed by some
one familiar with the house. He nys
that a friend of his, a collector,
at the house earlier In the day. At
dinner the friend handed him a roll of
bills containing about 960. This he
flourishes before the other boarders,
but latter returned 1* to bis friend
He says also that early Ig the even
ing a negro was seen in-the rear of the
houee. He thinks that this negro
might have given a tip to the robbers.
When the exdtement had quieted
down, it was discovered that Miss
las Steele,
who conducts tbe house, had lost
poeketbook from ber room. It is pos
sible that the tbeivee went on to
Sparks' room, and being caught then
robbed him also. They escaped by i
rear stairway.
When teen Thursday, Miss Steele
declared that at 9 o’clock a boarder in
the boose told her that bp heard
nolae in Sparks' room. She listened
and also heard a nolae; it sounded like
someone wss being strangled. She
thought, though, that It was next
door, especially as she could get no
response from anybody in the room.

The fact that a hundred and twen

father was ohlsf justice of Holland's
sapraaM court His father was a
a minister to William III., whose
daughter, Wllhelmlna, Is now queen
of Tbe Netlftrlands. But tbs Boks
lost their money, and William, the
minister, came to America with his
wife and two boys. Edward Bok left
school when a lad, and went to
work. He tolls this story of his strag
gles upward:
"We wan extremely poor, and I
used to gather wood in tbe vacant
lots for oar fire. 1 helped my mother
wash dishes and do other household
duties. But the first money I earned
was In selling water. Persons In New
York then went to Coney Island in
street can which ran through Brook
lyn, I carried a bucket of ice water
on my arm and When the oars stopped
I sold it to the passengers for a
penny a glass. 'Then I put a lsmcn in
my bucket and got two cents a glass.
I added a little mon sugar and lemon
juice and raised the prise to three
cents. That is when I learned that
tbe public will always pay the best
price for the best thing. I sold mon
three-cent lemonade than oue-oent
water and made mon money.
"In winter, when no one went to
Coney Island, I carried a newspaper
route on Saturdays and worked in a
bakery, meaning windows, waiting on
the counter, and running emnds, for
fifty cents a week Wnen I waa
thirteen yean old I left school forever,
going to the Western Union Telegraph
Company as an office boy. At night
I studied stenography. 1 got Into
Henry Ward Beecher’s church and in
toons of Its literary societies. We
printed a little paper for the society,
and I took It up and developed it Into
tbe Brooklyn Magaxlne. My brother
helped me. We published Mr. Beech
er's sermons ,ln full, and then made
arrangements tor tbs sermons of Dr.
Til mage. Curiously enough, some of
the beet writenof the day became our
contributors.
“I was nineteen years old, and in
the meantime had been employed by
tbe telegraph company as a stenogra
pber. A man conspicuous In the
Standard OH company wanted to buy
our magasloe for his son, and, as it
was not profitable, we sold It. This
man told me that magazines and oi
could be oarried along on tbe ssma
trade prlnciplee—that tbe methods
employed to prodnoe a gallon of refin
ed oil would print and sell a single
oopy of a magazine. I told him
that was his belief he wooM lose a lot
of money. I left tbe telegraph com
pany and went to Henry Holt and
Company, the publishers, also as
stenographer. Heaven alone knows
what else I did In my own time. ]
started a syndicate and |upplied newr.
papers with high-class matter of In
ternet to the female sex, obtainiog
what I called forty articles by forty
famous women. Some of the women
were foreigners. I kept oat of cook
ery and needlework. Mo man should
attempt to meddle with such things
I might say that 1 am the father of
tbe woman's page in the newspapers,
but I am not proud of the relation
ship. I am sot prond of the relation
detest it now that It has grown up.
“From-flolt's, I went to Charles
Scribner’s Sons, with whom I re
mained until I was employed by Mr.
Curtis. I became advertising mana
ger at Scribner’s and andertook to de
velop the Book Buyer, one of their
magazines. While thus employed I
was persuaded to go to Philadelphia
and the Ladies’ Home Journal.
"When a boy I learned tbe secret of
success, as I have told you—work like
the devil To this I now add, and
for the delight of It. Young men in
this esta^Hshnu nt come to me and
each one asks: ‘What art my

making your inquiry at the wrong
place. It’s up to you, not to me;
make yourself Invaluable and your fu

Tbs latest contribution of British
military writon to tbe literature of
our civil war la a work, entitled "Tbe
Crisis of tbs Oonfederaov," by Oapt.
OecU Bsttine of the Fifteenth King’s
Tbe book prooenta an estl
of the mltttery abilities ofthe
oommandiog officers of tbe two armies
and this feature of tbe work is par
ticularly Interesting and very |ratify
ing to the people of tbe Sottth. In a
revldw of tbe work Tbe Army and
Navy Journal gives the following mm
mary of Oapt Battlne's conclusion
upon this subject:
“Oapt Battlne’s estimates of tbe
leaders of tbe opposing armies in tbe
civil war will Interest even where
they fail to oonvinee tbe studious
reader. He maintains, tor example,
that if In 1862 tbe North oould have
•xebasged generals with tbe South,
tbe Federal victory oould not have been
long delayed. He declares that the
Federal officer who mott distinguish
ed himself both at Gettysburg and In
tbe Wilderness battle of May 5, 1664,
was Haaooek. —
"Of Grant he says. 'No great man
in history surpassed him in simple
ness of purpose and freedom from
sham and pretense of all sorts. He
was wise, modest and brave. Tlat
he was not a great master of taetioal
science must be admitted, but remem
bering how little inoeotive be had re
ceived to think out Its problems unti
he was of mature age and bad been
tor six years a civilian. It was not to
be expected that be would shine in tbe
field which of all others requires many
years of long and fruitful study. As
a strategist he was Inferior to none ef
the Amerlcu generals. His grim de
termination to persevere In spite of a
holocaust of victims has been ds
nounoed as heartless disregard of bu
man life, bat his chivalry to the van
qulshed and his tender regard for the
sick and wounded show hiui in a very
different light.
“Capt. Bsttine holds that McClel
lan wss relieved of command 'with
out any particular pretext,’ that his
successor, Burnside, while not lacklrg
in bravery, had shown at Antietam
‘bow little capacity be bad tor the
moet difficult task of oontrolllOg a
great army In the field,’ that Meade,
though 'unlike tbe conventional type
of a great warrior,’ in tbat be had
‘'more the appearance of aa engineer
than of a troop leader,’ possessed valu
able qualities as a chief, was person
ally brave and had the moral courage
which la so often lacking to men wnu
never fear for their own safety.
"For Lee, Oapt. Bsttine has the
highest admiration, and says of him:
'In the tact and diplomatlo skill wltn
which be softened the jealousies of
his people and tightened tbe combine
lion of the different States, he is only
to be compared to the great Duke of
Marlbarough. . In the boldness and
sagacity of his strategy and in the
affectionate devotion be inspired in
his troops he resembled Napoleon
himself. As leader of an army he bad
one great fault; he was too modest,
too lacking In the stern self-assertion
which compels obedience and exacts
tbe utmost efforts of subordinates.
Such ss he fras, chivalrous, brave and
conscientious to a fault, he will re
main the most attractive personality
among American heroes and one of
the moet famous of tbe world's great
generals ’ As for Stonewall Jackson,
Oapt. Battine heartily accepts the
high and almost extravagant estimate
placed upon tbat remarkable soldier
by another British writer, Lieut. Col.
G F. R. Henderson, whose Stonewall
Jackson and the American Otvil War’
la recognized in England as a master
piece of military biography.”
Tbe Charleston Best says whatever
Judgments may be held in this ocua
try upon the relative merits of tbe
soldiers of that mighty struggle
which rent the republic, it la dear
enough, from the writings of suob
students as Lord Wolseley, Col. Hen
derson and Oapt Battine that impar
tla! and critical history will award to
the leaders of the Confederate armies
a renown that even we of the South
will admit to be fair recognition of
their glorious achievements.

In the United States Court at Cba r
leston on Wednesday a sealed verdict
was opened awarding Sol Blank 110,
000 for the compound fracture of his
left leg which may yet have to beam
putated, having been hurt In the
head-on collision of two trains of the
Southern railway at Newmarket,
Tenn., last summer. The suit was for
650,000. The verdict seems to have
been satisfactory, for the counsel
thanked the ]ury and no motion of ap
peal waa made in either case. The
Southern railway, admitted its respon
sibility, but took the position that the
sum sued for was out of all reason In
that tbe physical condition of Mr.
Blank was largely to be blamed tor
the slow progrea which has been
made In the treatment and that tbe
company should not be made to pay
