"I told her she would have to choose between the dog and me. She said she had raised the collie since he was a puppy jo years ago and that if a choice was necessary she would pick tin- dog." This was the complaint of Miner Swarthout in his divorce suit before Circuit Judge Tucker yesterday. "W hat's more, she is an inveterate ciKarette smoker." he continued. "She would smoke ail the- time and 1 couldn't break her of it." , Mrs. Mabel Swarthout denied that the Collie occupied the major part of her affections, to the exclusion of her husband, simply saying that she could not bear to part with the dog because of long association and love for the ret and that she believed her husband should have some sympathy for her feeling in the matter. She declared that she did not smoke to excess and said that she did not want to lose her husband. IIok Parts Family.

You thought her smoking of ciga rettes was all right and you did not blame her for losing her collie pet. "When you married her for better or for worse the worse appears to have been the dog and cigarettes. You have utterly failed to show the extreme cruelty alleged in your com plaint. You have no divorce cause that I can tee. A decree is denied. The case is dismissed." Only one divorce suit was filed yesterday in the circuit court, that of Frances OlnSschild against Mathew E.
