GETS ADDITIONAL WIFE
BY DECISION OF JUDGE
Milwaukee, Sept. 30.?Judge Shinz
V in circuit court today give a man two
wives. The man, Matthew Klein, divorced
his wife, Mary, in Milwaukee,
March 11, 1921, and a year later lacking
only one day, the judge temporarily
set aside the divorce decree on
the ground that Matthew had perjured
himself. During that time Matthew
had married at Charlotte, N. C.
At today's final hearing Judge
Shinz dismissed Matthew's complaint
and petition for divorce, thus leaving
him married to his first wife.
Something Saved.
Mary's mistress, awaiting tea,
heard a loud crash in the next room.
The lady shivered and rang the hell

''What was that?" she asked.
"I tripped on the rug and the tea
things fell, ma'am."
"Did you manage to save anything?"
"Yes, ma'am. I kept hold on the
tray all right."

SAVED MAN'S LIFE
Story of a Rabibt That Came to Rescue
of Imprisoned Miner.
This true story of the almost miraculous
rescue of a man imprisoned
in the shaft of a lead mine, was told
to the writer, Cora Cole McCullough,
by a member of her family. We quote
it from Our Dumb Animals (Boston;:
Many years ago I was living, in
Montana. A smelter had been built
and it created a demand for silver. I
owned an interest in a lead mine that
had been sunk over thirty feet.
Thinking the time had come to make
it available, I decided to go there and
,get some ore and nave it tested, i aia
so, and reached the place just in time
to take shelter in the mine from a
terrible hail storm. I lighted my candle,
went to the bottom and went to
work. I had not been there more
than five minutes when I heard a
noise that sounded like a cannon.
The rock over my head shook, an? in
a moment the shaft caved in. You
can imagine my feelings better than
I can describe the wrhen I found myself
buried alive.
I tremble even at this distant day,
when I think of that moment. The
roof of the shaft was made of rocks,
and when they came down they did
not pack so tightly but that the air
came through. There was nothing I
could do to release myself. I .knew
that if relief did not come from the
outside I would perish. No one knew
that I had gone there. A road ran
past the mouth of the shaft, but it
was not traveled much and I was
not likely to attract attention by
calling. Nevertheless, I shouted at
intervals all day.
The following morning I commenced
calling again, and all day,
whenever I thought I heard a sound,
I shouted. When night came, again,

abandoned. I will not dwell on the
agonies I endured. The morning of
the fourth day of my imprisonment,
I heard something crawl into my
grave.
I lighted myxiandle and saw a rabbit.
There wae only one aperture
large enough to admit him; I closed
it to prevent his escape. I saw in
him food to appease my hunger,
when a thought occurred to me that
prevented the blow from descending.
I had two fishing lines. Their
united length would reach to the
road. I took off my shirt, tore it into
strips, tied them together, and then
to the fish line. I then tied the end
madt out of my shirt around the rabbit's
neck and let him out. He soon
reached the end of the line, and I
knew by the way he was pulling that
he was making a desperate effort to
escape. Soon the tugging ceased, and
as I knew that gnawing was one of
a rabbit's accomplishments, 1 thought
he had gnawed himself loose. About
three hours afterward I felt the line
pull, and someone called. I tried to
answer, but the feeble noise I made
died away in the cavern. I then
pulled the line a little to show that I
was still alive. All grew still again,
and I knew the person had .gone for
assistance. Then came the sound of
voices. I pulled in the line and it

who worked in the shaft nine hours
to reach me.
A very large pine tree that stood
near had been the cause of my misfortune.
It had been dead a number
of years, and the storm had blown
it over. The terrible blow it struck
the ground had caused the caving in
of the shaft. The rabbit had wound
the line around a bush and tied himself
so short that he was imprisoned
outside as securely as I had been inside.
He was taken to town, put in
a large cage, and supplied with all
rabbit delicacies the market afforded.
He, however, did not thrive, and the
boys, believing he "pined in
thought", voted to set him free. He
was taken back to his old neighborhood
and liberated* He not only
saved my life, but became the benefactor
of all the rabbits near, the
miners refraining from shooting any,
for fear it might be my rabbit.
Spring Cabbage and Lettuce.
Clemson College, Oct. 4.?In order
to produce headed cabbage very early
in the spring it is necessary to sow
the seeds in the open ground in early
October, says Prof. C. C. Newman,
1 wVii-k cr i VOC hplnW SU g
UUiULUHunoi, <i uv _ . w
gestions on growing spring cabbage.
Transplant the plants to the field
during late December. Set the plants
in rows 30 inches apart and 15 inches
apart in the row. In transplanting
the entire stem of the plant should be
covered with soil to prevent freezing.
The Charleston Wakefield is probably
the best variety for early spring use.
The succession is a good variety to
follow the Charleston Wakefield. In
order that ample plants may be available
at transplanting time in December
it is well to make two or three
plantingg of seed, the first about the
last week in September and the other
two plantings at intervals of about
ten days.
For spring lettuce it will be necessary
to sow* the seeds in frames in
October. The first planting should be
made about the first of October and
the second about ten days later. The
lettuce plants will become established
before very cold weather and, unless
excessively cold weather occurs, the
plants will not be injured. They may
be transplanted to the field in January
or early February. The Big Boston
is one of the best varieties for
this nurDose. The imDroved Hanson
is also a very desirable variety. Both
of these sorts produce large, solid
heads of excellent quality.
For winter use the lettuce seed
should be planted in cold-frames and
covered with light canvas during cold
weather in order to keep the plants
growing. Lettuce protected in this
way will produce edible heads during
December and January. In case of
excessively cold weather the beds may
be covered with heavy canvas or
glass.
MOUSTACHES GO.
Movie Villains Continue To Wear
Big Black Ones.
Black moustaches may have disappeared
from the face of America, but
the play public today is as insistent as
ever before that its fiction and movie
villains wear them.
This and other popular conceptions
of "bad ihen" were pointed out in
Chicago recently by Tom Pete Cross,
professor of comparative literature at
the University of Chicago, who was
one of the pudges in the selection of a
$10,000 prize winning scenario from
the 27,000 that were entered by ama
teurs in a picture play contest recently
conducted by the Chicago Daily
News.
"Smooth shaven faces have been
the style eve .* since nine-tenths of the
amateur writers were born," said Dr.
Cross, ''but the great majority of the
contestants specified in their stories
that their scoundrels should have
bold, black moustaches. The idea that
dark hair across the upper lip denotes
wickedness is an ancient one, handed
down in folk stories from the northern
European peoples.
"Those blond races have implanted
popular beliefs and ideas in the
United States today, inheritance telling
their superstitions to us over and
over again. Their folk and fairy stories
are ours. They were always at
| war with peoples of southern Euro'
pean nations and grew to associate
black hair and moustaches with general
wickedness.
"They terrified their children with
stories, myth9 and legends of black
s whiskered marauders and murderers.
Sea raiders and buccaneers of a later
period cultivated the sweeping sable
moustache as a symbol of ferocity
and a means of spreading terror. So
thoroughly was this superstition implanted
in the popular mind that
Americans of nearly all races today
unconsciously adopt it.
"Another popular idea about villains
as shown by the 27,000 writers
is that cigarettes today are tokens of
weakness - and untrustworthiness,
that cigars are symbols of ruthlessness
and harshness, but that pipes
are indications of sweetness of character,
tolerance, strength, manliness,
gentleness of soul, simple honesty
and generosity.
"This may seem odd in a day when
cigarette smoking is very general,
but it is a survival of strong and
violent opinions taken by the public
fifty years ago which live on in the
race's unconscious views and come to
light in its writings."
One of the best forms of life-saving
is wife-saving by means of more
kitchen and home conveniences.
VILLAGE MARSHAL QUITS.
"It's Xo Job For a Woman" Says Mrs.
Ward, and Resigns.
The nation's first complete petticoat
city government is no more, for
Mrs. Bertha Ward, village marshal,
has resigned because the *'job was too
tough", as she explained in submitting
her resignation to the remainder
of the feminine city "mothers". Mrs.
Wohoc hanried over her DOiished
I YV CIX U UWw ? ^
I star to Daniel Olson, muscular section
foreman, at Des Lacs, N. D., who
now swings the lead-loaded billy and
preserves order in the village.
Mrs. Ward's reasons for resigning
were concise and to the point.
No. 1 was that her husband
thought the job was too hazardous
for the consideration; and second,
the job was never intended for a
woman of small stature.
"Lack of physical prowess went
against me", declared Mrs. Ward.
"Drunken persons and others would
just laugh at me, and I was almost
helpless to do anything."
Meanwhile consternations reigns
among the other women officials of
Des Lacs. To the outside world they
are afraid that the resignation looks
like their regime is a failure. They
tried to prevail upon Mrs. Ward to
remain in office until the next village
election, but she "had had enough",
she told them.
Mrs. Ward did not make any ar-l
rests while she was in office. She tried
to make one but the man who was j
acting in a disorderly manner perked j
away from her and ran. She tele-1

that the justice of the peace did not
have a warrant blank; so the sleepy
deputy, roused in the middle of a
night's slumber, journeyed back to
Minot and the arrest was not effected.
"It's a man's job without a doubt",!
declared Mrs. Ward. "I couldn't be
