PAIR PHILOSOPHIZE
ON MARITAL LIFE
Chicago Man and Woman Say
That Law Not Binding If
. Love Is Elsewhere.
SPOUSES ARE DESERTED
Prank Lloyd right and Mr. Kdwln
II. Cheney leave Families and
Depart to Live TogrtlK-r at
Hillsdale, Wisconsin.
CHICAGO. Jan. . tSpeclal.) "Form
ar not sacred. The spirit alone la.
There la one thing of greater Import
ance thn the home of yesterday, and
that l the home of tomorrow."
Thus I epitomised by Frank Lloyd
Wrlfrht hit philosophy of life. In per
fect accord v.lth Mi views, he saye, la
Ma mah Uouton Borthwlck. erstwhile
Mrs. Edwin II. Cheney.
Living- up to his words. Wright has
quit his wife and six children. The
marrlaa-e tie still binds him legal:? to
the woman and motner In Oak Park.
Mrs. Cheney was divorced by her hus
band "!.it AuKust. Later she won
court's prrmlaslon to drop the nam
Cheney and revert to that of her mam
enhood. She has left her three chil
dren to the care of the man who used
to call her his wife Frank Lloyd
WrlKht and Mamah Borthwlck are llv-
lns; a new life In a bungalow near
Hillside. Wis.
Mrs. Wright says she will not sue
for divorce. Mr. Wright says he will
provide for her and for the six chil
dren In future as he has done In the.
past. Christmas was a gay festival In
tne Oak rark home of the Wrights,
though tne husband and father was
not there. The Cheney cniiuren ana
tnelr father made nvorry about a radl
ant yulot.ile tree, while the mother and
the one-time wife was In the w iscon
sin buiiKalow. six hours away.
Everybody directly concerned In this
drama of real life seems to be content
with things as they are. All wear tha
signs of happiness as a new year be
gins. One thing Wright, the architect.
crave. He would have Mr. rignt.
Mr. Cheney and Mamah Borthwlck say
to the world over their signatures that
what he has written about putting off
the old and putting on the new la Just
and true. There is reason to believe
Mamah Borthwlck has given It tacitly
her hearty Indorsement. Mrs. Wright Is
silent about her Intentions. Mr. Cheney
savs It Is all a closed Incident.
In the bungalow near Hillside there
Is building for the future. What the
neighbors see Is the gradual unfolding
of a beautiful home, with fountains,
court for flowers, a durkpond and oth
er settings that a landscape artist
turns from dreams Into realities. Mr.
WriKht says there Is something else
building character, artistic Ideals, un-f-ttered
selfhood, spiritual communion.
sweetness, fidelity to the higher code
and a broader service to humanity.
.Nelahbera Are raaale.
The plain country folk around Hill
side and Spring Green say they don't
know what to make of It all. Many
, rf them are the kin of Frank Lloyd
WrlKhc. othrrs have known mm since
be was a little boy.
Mrs. Cheney la a beautiful woman.
hr is a graduate of the University of
111. his-in. She bss read much, trav
eled Ijr and associated with men and
women of culture. Clever la speech

clf. ne is a woman titled intellectu
ally i'm! otherwise to bold her own In
inv .Irawlng-room or gathering.
For years the Wrights and Cheneys
were neighbors and intimate friends In
;uk I'urk. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Che
ney were both members of tb Oak
I . irk Woman a Club. Tbey moved In
the Mime social circles. Each watched
with Interest the dowering of lbs oth
( f.unily. The two lathers wera
frieno. rejoicing when the other dem
onstrated some new evidence of suc
cess and progress. The onlooker might
hare opined that here was the quint
essence of neighborllness and loyalty.
To the Cheneys tbe door of the Wrights
always was open, and vice versa.
Insidiously the divergence began.
The principals did not suspect It them
selves at Ilrst. -Temperament" was
the leaven at work. If the architect Is
right In his analysis. Mure and mora
Mrs. Wrlsht devoted herself to her
hone and h.-r growing children. More
andtnon Mr. Wright closeted himself
vlib his work and gave himself up to
his architectural dreams. When he
sought recreation, diversion, commun
ion of spirit, he found them less and
less In the companionship of Mrs.
Wright, he said.
naraaoay la Dtaewvered.
Then be discovered that Mrs. Cheney
was mors nearly on his plan of
thought, that she sympathised tb
closer with him. shared, hla dreams and
Ideals, appreciated his efforts and gave
him the inspiration for work which, ha
complained, ha could not draw from tie
companionship at his own fireside.
Thus, thought Mr. Wright, both fate
and tbe law- were against blm and bit
normal development.
Then came tt e disclosure that stirred
Pak Point society for weeks- News was
brought from Europe that Mr. Wright
and the then Mrs. Cheney were touring
the Continent together. That waa late
In lvi.
The two did not go to Europe to
gether. The architect led the way. Mrs.
Cheney at that time was In Colorado
wttr. her children. One day sh wrote
to Mr. Cheney, asking him to com and
get the children. When Mr. Cheney
reached his destination his wife already
had gone. SI e had heard the call of her
sou! mate on tbe other side of tha At
lantic and she responded.
Mrs. Cheney spent part of her tlma
taking a course of study la Lelpxlg. She
Interested herself In the old and new
philosophies of living and found what

In August. HID. Mr. Cheney, not fall
lue In witn the "spiritual beglr- no

M's. Cheney did not contest the case.
Af:er Mrs. Cheney was given court per
nittnn to use her maiden name and to

becsn to look upon the whole affair as
a closed Incident. Then came the word

JAP STATESMAN IS HERE
K. Mljako, Slember of Parliament,
on Kcturn Home From nome.
K. Mlyako, a member of tha Japan
ese Parliament from one of tha north
ern districts of th Islands, was at tha
Portland Hotel yesterday for a few
hours and was a recipient of many
courtesies from the leaders of th Port
land Japanese colony. He la returning
from attending- th International confer
ence at Horn, aa th representative of
his country.
Th Selyukal party, of which h Is a
lesder and which literally translated
means, "th meeting of the political
friends," Is at present dominant In
Japan, the entire cabinet being- come
poeed of Its members, and waa founded
by th late Prince Ito. On International
politics he refused to talk, giving as a
rssson that he had not been In touch
with hla home affairs for so many
months, but said h was much Im
pressed with what he had seen In this
country. Mr. Mlyako left last night for
an Frsnclsco and from there will take
a steamer for Japan In a few days.

Playing about the room were four of
the children: Erna. aged 8; Vernon, a
boy of (; Nina, aged 4, and Mildred,
aged 2. Tbe children are attractive
and have th charm of childhood. In
a cradle behind the door, sucking away
! contentedly at their nursing bottles.
lay the three-month-old twins, Harry
and Hazel.
In spite of th evidences of povsrty
thst abounded there was a genuine at
mosphere of home. The attachment be
tween th mother and children was Im
mediately apparent. Mra. Brease had
Just received 10. which a kind-hearted
man. who chose to conceal his Identity,
had sent to Th Oregonlan to be given
her.
- Work Does Not Frtg-htea.
"I tell you I appreciate that money,"
said Mrs. Breasee. with a look of re
lief In her tired face. "If It war not
for th twins I could go to work at
something, or take some boarders," sba
said. "I've alwaya worked, before and
after I waa married, and I know wbat
hard work la If I can Just get along
until I can get on my feet again w
will make out all right."
When asked why sh did not let tb
Baby Horn take car of her babies,
sh replied almost fiercely: "No. I'd
work day and night before I'd let any
home take them. In a home they would
be careU for by strangers."
The Breaeees came to Oregon seven
years ago from Michigan. Mrs. Brea
ee's parents, Mr. snd Mrs I. 3. Bushen
bill. came with them. They lived for
a few monthe at Gervals. moving to
Woodburn, where Mr. Brease worked
as a laborer.
Ilaebaad-s Illness Hladraace.
They then bought a five-acre tract
near Oregon c.ty, but on account of
the husband's frequent Illnesses they
could not keep up the payments and
were obliged to give It up. Last Spring
they came to Portland.
Mr. Breasee secured work as an en
gineer and Mra. Brease kept boarders.
Three months ago th twins were born
and since that time misfortunes have
followed constantly.
Mr. Brease went East three months
ago and had been bom only a few
days when he killed himself. During
his absence the wife supported the
family with th help of her sister. Mr.
Breasee's life was Insured for $1000
and when this money Is paid over to
her Mrs. Brease will be able to cats
for herself and family.
In th meantime she Is being assisted
by the Associated Charities. She said
yesterday that ahe owed I1S0 for fur
niture bought on the Installment plan
and grocerlea She said he did not
know how much her husband owed, but
he Intended to write to his creditors
and when the Insurance money was re
ceived would pay the debts.

that such a navigable passage for ships

ties, especially to the people of the
United States. The mouth of the Guase
cualoo River, on Its northern shore.
Is less than 700 miles from the mouth
of the Mississippi, and only 100 miles
by the road from a port on the Pacific,
near Tehuantepec which might be
made a good harbor; so that even now a
traveler might go In a fortnight from
Washington to the Pacific Coast, and

The Isthmus of Panama remains to
be considered. From recent and minut
surveys. It has been proved that no ob
stacles to a ship canal are presented
by th surface of this Isthmus, equal
to those which have been surmounted.
In many Instances of a similar nature.

of heat and dampness, which are there

leterlous to persons from Europe, or
from the Northern States of tha Amer
ican Union, by whom th labor of cut
ting a canal must be performed, un
less. Indeed, It should be Judged proper
to employ negroes from the West In
dies on th work.
It seems, therefore, that a canal Is
practicable across the Isthmus of Pan
ama; there is, however, not the slight
est probability that It "will be made
during this century. If ever; the com
mercial stlllty of such a communication
being scarcely sufficient to warrant
the enormous expense of Its construc
tion and maintenance. Ships from Eu
rope or the United States, bound for
the west coast of America, or the North
Pacific or China, would probably pass
through It, unless the tolls should be
too heavy: but those returning from
China would pursue the route around
the Cape of Good Hope, which would
be. In all respects, more advantageous
for them, as well as for vessels sailing
between the Atlantic coasts and India,
ot Australia. Not only Is the direct
distance from South Asia and Australia
to th Atlantic coasts greater by way
of the Pacific but vessels taking that
route must deviate far from the di
rect course in order to avoid th trad
vtlnds, which blow constantly west
ward over the Intertropical parts of
the Pacific
As regards political effects. It may
be assumed aa certain that, should the
canal be made by any company or na
tion whatsoever. It will, in time, not
withstanding any precautions by treaty
or otherwise, become the property of
the greatest naval power, which will
derive a vast Increase of political
strength from the possession.

One of our sisters who commenced
to take Peru n a. has Improved and will
continue to take It- Some others are
trying It also. Sr. St. Marie, Superior.
CONVENT of St Laurent, near Mon
treal, Mother House Sisters of the
Holy Cross.
After using Peruna for two or three
months several members of the com
munity have experienced such good
effects that they can recommend Its
use to others. Sisters of Holy Cross.
HAVING used Peruna for the past
few months, for our sick and
poor, we are happy to say that It has
given us great satisfaction. The Sis
ters of the Good Shepherd, Montreal.
After a continued use the remedy,
this Institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses Its satisfaction In the
following terms:
WE found Peruna a re: f In sev
eral cases.
We can say It is a good tonic and we
are very thankful. Sisters of the Good
Shepherd.
One of the many hospitals which
have found Peruna of value in treating
old and obstinate cases of catarrh is
the Hospital St. John, who write as
follows:
WE are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfac
tion. Three patients have tried It, one
68 years old. Renoul Dupuls, afflicted
with catarrh. Is much relieved, more
than he baa been for a number of
years.
Ask Tour Dragdat tor
ArOtJNG girl, fifteen years old, had
an obstinate cough, which half a
bottle of Peruna caused to disappear.
As to myself, two bottles have con
vinced me that Peruna Is magnificent
aa a tonic
Before the treatment I could not
walk for a quarter of an hour without
experiencing much fatigue. Now I can
walk a mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the effi
ciency of your remedy.
Hospital St. John, of St. Johns.
Province of Quebec
A later letter received from the same
Institution reads as follows:
THREE weeks ago I wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend It highly for
colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia.
I have used it myself as a tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
a teaspoonful every half hour.
PERUNA not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds In their first
stages, but Is equally prompt and effi
cient for catarrhal diseases In the
chronic stage. It Is only reasonable to
suppose that less medicine will be
necessary to cure a slight attack than
after it has been allowed to become
chronic.
Catarrh of the respiratory organs Is
a common ailment In Canada. There
fore, when Peruna was discovered by
Canadian people to be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became a popular medicine.
