II E Parties Whom Judge Bushey Joined in Marriage Ask to Be Separated, A young woman by tho nnmo of Thielman called upon County Judge Bushoy last night and requested that offioial to grant her a divorce from her husband, whom she had married a few months ago. She advised .Tudgo Bushey that tho husband has deserted her, and that she has bora deceived shamefully by both the husband's parents and oth ers. Judge Bushey directed tho young complainant ns to the proper course through which to Becuro a divorce, the circuit court. Not long ago a young man called up on Judge Bushey on tho same mission. It dovoloped that tho county judge had married the man not six months prior to tho call, and that tho couple wore unable to get along. The husband in quostion Informed Judge Bushoy that lis wife had beon consorting with oth er women, and that ho wanted to leave her. Doubting tho statement, the jttdeg asked tho man whother or not he was convinced that his wifo was acting in such a manner, and tho him band promptly produced his mate, who admitted that sho was guilty of the breach in the matrimonial relations be tween hersolf and the complainant. "I can join 'em together," says .Tudgo Bushoy, "but I can't tear 'em apart. They Boom to think that, inas much as I can marry thorn, I should be able to part them."

THE GERMAN SOFA. It li the Seat of Honor For the Visitor With the Biggest Title. Tho stranger In Germany Is always Impressed by the Importunes of the sofa In marking social distinctions. In deed, among Germans of the more oninfortiible class, those who live from generation to generation In the same house, overy piece of furniture baa its own history nnd makes its own assocla. lions, hut It is nlwnys the sofa that is given tlio prominent place in a room, Before It usually stands a round or ovnl table. Should there be callers at the average German house there ensues a certain digiilllcd commotion. Should n caller, a woman of lower social standing thin the mistress of the house, arrive she must take a chair, while tho hostess sits nlone on the sofa. Should the v Itor lie of higher degree, however, the matter will be otherwise decided. This method of distinction reaches its highest point when there Is a tea party, or kaffeeklatsch (coffee gossip), for then the oldest woman with the big gest title must sit on tho sofa, und tho nest In rank occupies the placo nearest her. As tho proudest usually arrives lat est, a general stir Is likely to take place, for if the Fruu Doktorln, the wlfo of a physician or scholar, Is sit ting on the sofa she must vncnte her position should a Frail rrofessorln ap pear. Ttie Fran Mnjorln, or wife of a major, may be thoroughly enjoying the seat of honor, hut she must yield it without hesitation when the Frnu Gen eralln comes In. The wholo company rise lu sin.li an event to do honor to the distinguished guest, and there must necessarily follow ,il general readjust ment of places. Neither unmarried men nor very young women can expect to enjoy the privilege of sitting on a German sofa. The piece of furniture that stands next In honor to the sofa Is the easy chair, which Is sometimes called gor genstuhl, or chair of cares. Should a German sit down to worry he must have a comfortable seat, that so Im portant a mood mny be endured with dignity. A common chnlr would not serve his purpose In the least. But the sorgenstuhl Is, so to speak, for domes tic nnd personal use only. Tho sofa Is tho part of tho entire social frame work never to bo carelessly regarded. New York Tribune.

Tho romance of lighthouse construc tion undoubtedly centers around Eddy stone. As long ago as 1690 Wlnstanley commenced building. Two years litter the weak benms of light from the tal low candles flrst pierced tho darkness. The engineer had an unshakable belief In his tower and often expressed wish to be In It during a severe gale. This ehnneo came on Nov. 20, 1705 when on a storm appearing Imminent ho set out from Plymouth. The hurrl cane was ono of the most terrible re corded In history, and among other damage it swept nvny every vestige o the lighthouse, those In it, of course, being lost. Within three years another was built, known as liudyurd's. and like Wlnstnnley's, of wood. The obvious occurred after an exist ence of forty-seven years, it being ut terly destroyed by conflagration. The next Smeatnn's was of stone and lusted until 1S.H1, a period of 120 years, when It was found that It was being undermined and a new structure, the present and fourth, was erected on an adjacent roc it. .smeatons tower was rebuilt on Plymouth Hoc. where can lie seen the original en utile chandelier and tho gongs operated by clockwork to keep awnke the drowsy keepers, so that they should snuff the candles at proper Intervals. In medieval times the usual lllumi nant was a coal or wood fire In an open grate, which gave n fairly good light on a breezy night. For beacons on rocks at sea candles were used. In 1720 oil was flrst employed, und in 1790 the Argnnd circular wick lamp with sll vered reflectors was introduced. Gns was first experimented with In 1817. The lights not only warn the mariner of the proximity of the shore, but also give him a clew as to where ho Is. This Is chiefly done by dimming or "shuttering" of the light for n few sec onds. Thus should n senmnn observe n light which consists of n long, followed by two short flashes, a glunce ai the chart would give him his position. London Globe. A LEAPJOR LIFE.

Writers are always fond of dilating upon tho commonplace origin of re markuble inventions. Still another In stance of their accidental nature nnd a most Interesting one Is given by Noel T. Mothley In "The Lifeboat and Its Story." In tho course of a country stroll Wll linm Wouh'hnve. the Inventor of the self righting lifeboat, ciimo across a woman who naked his help In lifting a heavy vessel of water Just drawn from the well. On the surface of the water there floated the broken half of wooden bowl. Wouldhave was drawn Into conversation, and, like many another who cannot keep his hands quiet while he talks, he Idly toyed with the flontlng piece of wood. Naturally he turned It over nnd found to his surprise that It Immediately righted Itself. lie Inverted It ugaln with thn same result, and since he was t the time actually at work on the problem of nu ttnslnltable boat he In mediately realized tho Importance of his chance discovery. It Is an experiment that nny one Can readily make for himself. All you require Is the fourth part of n hollow 'predate spheroid." or, to put it In more homely Inngunge, the quarter of a co- eounut shell split from end to end. Put the shell In a bowl of witter nnd you will dud that It will not remain npslzod. but will return at once to an even keel. In scientific language It will float with only the convex sur face downward. Any child knows thnt If you cut up broken rubber bull you get five or six nice little round bottomed, tilth tided boats. It remained for Will In m oiimnnvo to discover that these are all Utile self righting lifeboats. 342 fl. Com St. American Gardens.

Happy is the young man who loses Swinging From a Broken Cable, With Death Almost Certain on the Floor of the Rocky Canyon Far Below, He Took a Desperate Chance and Won. Borne persons have more than their fair share of adventure. Of this fortu nateor unfortunate class Is Mr. W. O. Gilbert, the hero of an extraordi nary experience told by Mr. It. D. Strong in the Wide World Magazine. Mr. Gilbert had been exploring an unfrequented cave high up In the side of a deep canyon in Yellowstone park when be suddenly came upon a huge silver tip bear that showed unmistak able signs of displeasure nt being dis turbed. The man dashed out of the den, with the snarling bear close at bis heels. Tho face of the canyon was almost a sheer precipice. To try to run down it was certain death, for If he did not make a misstep nnd go tumbling to the bottom before he had gone a hundred feet the bear would almost instantly overtake him. Despairingly he looked about him. A short distance away was the plat form of nn old aerial tramway that ifhd been used to carry ore across the can yon to the other side. One of the big Iron buckets In which the ore had been carried still swung on Its two little wheels from the rusted wire cable eight or ten feet out from the platform Just out of reach. It offered tho only avail able means of escnpe, however, and the hunted man took the chance. With n shrill cry. for the bear was al most upon him, Gilbert sprang for ward nnd, with every muscle set, leap ed out from the plntform toward the bucket, the edge of which he Just man aged to grasp with his fingers. He struggled hard to raise himself and climb In. but for a long time the swinging bucket thwarted every effort Finally he got a leg over the edge. In borlously clambered In and sank ex hausted to the bottom. Halked of bis prey, the angry bear began to clnw nnd tear nt the slender cable. In some way the animal touch ed the big wheel over which the cable ran. The wheel began to turn, and, ns It turned, tho bucket, with Its human freight, ran rapidly down the cable, swaying nnd swinging ns If about to turn over. Suddenly there was a tearing, snap ping sound, and several strands of tho rust eaten, weather bonten cable part ed. The bucket sngged downwnrd slckenlngly. Looking out. Gilbert saw that only half a dozen strands now sustained tho weight of tho bucket. If they should pnrt he would be dashed down upon the rocky bottom of the canyon, fully 'JflO feet below. It was n serious predicament. Tho cnble might part under his weight nt nny minute, or the bear might strike the twisted wires a hard blow, which would almost certainly break them. Ho could not pull tho bucket along, for the guide cnble overhend had dis appeared years before. Although there was little hope that nny ope would hear him In that remote nnd lonely region, he shouted aloud for help. 1'ortmiatoly for Gilbert n party of men passing near by heard his call mid hurried to his rescue. Hut when they snw his plight they were nt a loss how to save him. At last ono of them Jumped on his horse, dashed back to the outfit wngon nnd returned with several long fish lines nnd all the rope be could find. In n few minutes he had whittled out n rough bow and arrow. After tying the llsli line to the arrow he hot the latter up and over the bucket. Then Gilbert pulled up the rope which had been fastened to the line nnd tied It to the cable. It was a desperate chance for life. but It was his only one. Carefully, without n single unnecessary motion, he stood up In the bucket, grasped the rope, ln inhered over the side nnd be gan to lower himself. Slowly, foot by foot, he enme down. The hearts of the men below nlmost 'eased to beat as he covered a quarter of the distance, then a half, then three-quarters, then nil! As ho reach ed the ground they gave n hearty heer that woke the echoes fur and wide, but Gilbert did not hear It. He had fallen In n swoon the moment his feet touched the earth. Curious Loan Clubs. Loan clnlw have sometimes very pe Hilar rules. One that flourished re ently In north London had a rule impelling each member to borrow !i every year or In default pay a tine of 5 shillings. Loans required the security of two fellow members, and the Gll- lertkm situation occasionally arose of member being refused a loan for want of security and fined for not bor rowing the money.

Much is wrltteu of the terrors of modern war. Little is written of the terro'rs of the wnrs of old. Yet It is doubtful If war today makes greater demands on human courage than war In the time of Grant, of Washington, of Tnrenne, of Caesar, of Alexander. Consider a staudup Infantry fight in the days of the Devolution. After the preliminary cannonade and long dis tance musketry practice the two regi ments marched toward each other in close runks. At n given distance, fre quently ttt thirty yards, there was a halt, n smashing volley and then a bayonet charge through tho smoke. llullets (hose days were large and of soft lead, und the man who vas hit went down. Over him tramped his comrades or the enemy, shooting and stabbing. Thnt was the type of infantry battles for 150 years. To minimize the cour age needed to make a good soldier un der such circumstances is to fly in the face of com moil sense. Modem war requires a different type of courage from that needed of old. The old touch of elbows Is lackln; The old feeling of companionship is gone. The modern soldier must be more alert, better taught, keener wit- ted, than (ho olden soldier of equal value. But It does not follow that the modern soldier Is the braver man. The men who fought at the "bloody angles" of Chlcknmuugn and Spottsyl- vauia, at Bunker Hill nnd Orlskuuy, at ltlvoll. Zorndorf nnd Mnlpluquet, had no need to learn heroism In any modern school. It was theirs already. Chicago Journal. AT THE PLAYHOUSES NEW PRESIDENT TO SEE HIMSELF IN FILMS An Actor's Emergency Shirt.

Prsident Wilson- himself will, it is said, bo one of tho first to view the mo tion pictures of his inauguration. With a competent staff of photogra phers, tho Universal Film Manufactur ing Company spared no expense in giv ing the public tho best possible service. The film, which will bo released for nation-wide exhibition on March 8, is re markable for its clearness and perfec tion of detail. The now president, who has repeated ly shown tho kocnost intorest in motion pictures, was greatly elated when in formed that tho cninora men would bo on hand, and ready to rocord overy in teresting phaso of his inauguration. It was then that Mr. Wilson expressed a desire to see tho pictures. President Wilson enjoys tho distinc tion of being the first chief executive of the United Statos to be 'filmed" for tho "movies" on the day of his inaug uration. Not since the king and queen of England wore "filmed" during the Durbar in India, has an event of such importance in tho lives of nations been so well caught by tho camera. The pictures of tho inauguration will live in history. Every man, woman and child in America ought to see thoso ro nmrkablo pictures. They aro impres sive, inspiring and educational.
