SMOKE OF RANK PIPE
ENDS HER DREAM OF BLISS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18. Ac
cording to Mary E. Walsh's petition

MADRID, Oct. 18, (via Hendayed.)
The people are inflamed by an'an
nouncement that the cabinet has in
troduced a bill in the Cortes forcing
the conscripts who have already paid ;
$300 for their freedom from military :
duty to pay an additional $100 or
serve in the arm-. This is a severe
blow, as numbers of them had a hard
time paying- the $300 and can't get
the additional $100, but must go to
the army, leaving their wives and
children to starve.
FILE SUIT FOR DIVORCE;
NECKTIES D0NT SUIT HER
MILWAUKEE, Oct., 14. Because
he husband persistently refuses to
wear neckties which match the
shade of her gowns, Mrs. Frances
Laroche says she will file suit to
morrow for a divorce from her hus
band, Alfred. They were married in
Syracuse five years ago. The hus
band's defense will be that his wife
so imposed upon him by iusisting that
he accompany her on shopping tours
that his"cruelty" is justified.
The wife's plaint is that her hus
band, whom she likes to have accom
pany her on her visits to the stores,
deliberately wears clothing which
does not comport with her gowns. On
one occasion she says she was shop
ping in a plum colored silk, at her
husband wore a flowing green four-in-hand,
which shone in striking con
trast to her costume. On another oc
casion he wore a tie of blue to pre
vent her enjoying a shopping tour in
a creation of a light green shade.
