Mfr . ' THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD.0REGOnfRJDA, APRILT1P, 1908. v. fcu WAR EASIER IRAN WOMEN CHARLES ClIItlSTEXSEX OF XKW YORK DECLARES THAT BAT TLEFIELD JIAS XO TERHOKS EQUAL TO THOSE OK MATRI MONY HE HAS TRIED ROTH NEW YORK, April 9. "War and matrimony arc the same thing. I'vo been through both, and If I had my cliolco I'd take the cannon game for mine. Yes, I'vo heard Gen. Slier man's definition of war, but he must have been a bachelor." It isn't to bo supposed that these disparaging remarks will have a de terrlng effect on persons about to in tervlew the parson, but they go a long way toward pioving that even Cupid turns out a poor job occasion ally. They also prove that when Charles Christensen and his goo-1 wife Julia man led and settled down, they didn't live happily forever after. Thirty-four years have elapsed since Charles and Julia consolidated For six years they lived as one; for next twenty-five they lived as ten Julia being the one and Charlie the cipher of the combination: for the last three jears of the journey each has been making an independent parade. Charles had sixty-nine can dle in his last cake, while his wife's called for eight less. The climax of their domestic difficulties was reach ed when his wife had him before Magistrate Higglnbotham In a Brook lyn court on the charge of non-sup port. Justifies His Course. Mrs. Christensen seemed the floor eariy in the proceedings and blocked her husband's efforts to tell his trou bles, with the result that the Court directed him to pay his wife $3 a week until the case comes up for disposition next week, when seen by a World man at his stoie on Gates avenue yesteiday Christensen was more than willing to tell his tioubles. He is a slightly-built little man with a Joe Cannon hedge around his countenance. Steel-rimmed glasses mounted on a stubby nose and fast ened behind a set of extra size list eners give him a studious appear ance. What he does to the English language is entirely uncalled for. "Julia had all the best of it in court," he began, "but if I ever get a chance to tell just a little bit of my story I'll have the judge and jury suffered could never ue torn in ono afternoon." "Is it true that you i'ave an as sortment of affinities?" he was ask ed. "Do I look like that kind of a man?" he demanded, with a show of heat. "As for my running around to dances and parties, I haven't been to one in a year. I'll admit I'm one of the boys, but I'm one of the good kind." "She says you are anxious to mar ry again?" suggested the lepoiter. "She knows better than that. I've told her seven thousand times that if I ever got free I'd keep my name for my own use. Marry again! Ha! ha! I wouldn't marry the Statue of Liberty if President Roosevelt gave her away and she had the United States mint for a dowry." "What started all the trouble?" "It doesn't matter now, but it started right after wo moved to Brooklyn from New York in 1880. I don't blame Brooklyn for it. Has n War Reconl. "And don't think I haven't any backbone," he added; "wait till I prove it to you." Christensen stopped talking long enough to go to a drawer and drag forth a bag of medals. Several of them were for bravery In the Danish war and ono was given him by the King of Denmark. The others were emblems of the different orders to which ho belongs. "The King doesn't decorate a cow ard," said the old man proudly. "Don't you think you deserve a medal for living with a wife?" asked tho reporter. "A medal!" shouted Christensen, "I deserve a monument. As com pared with marriage war is a picnic. I went through the Danish war and I was shot up till I looked like a window screen, but the only marks I have to-day are souvenirs of my married life." Christensen says he is perfectly willing to support his wife, but in sists, that she shall take what ho Is willing to give her. "She left mo three years ago, he said, "but she'll find the latch string on the outside If she comes back. We're both getting along In years now and a few more disagreements can't hurt anything."

W, CARDWELL. Spoiled Their Waltzing. In hnr memoirs Mme. de BjIcTEB g!es some interesting glimpses of English social life. For instance, sne rites: "In 1810 no young English lady ven- niiiii to waltz. The Duke of Devon- shite returned from a tour in Germany and observed ono evening at a largo ball that a woman was never been to better advantage than when waltzing. I do not know whether he was anx ious to play a trick, but ho repeated this assertion several times, it was passed from mouth to mouth, and at tho next ball all the joung lames were valtzing. The duke admired them neatly, said that it was delightful and iivo nroner animation to a ball. He then added caielessly thut he, at any rate, had decided never to marry a lady who waltzed. It was to the Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton House that he saw fit to make this revelation. The poor duchess, the most clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near ly fell off her chair with horror, hue lepeated the statement to her noigu bors, who passed it on, and consternn .i,,n enronri from seat to seat. The young ladies continued to waltz with dear consciences. The oiu lames were furious, but the unfortunnte dance was concluded. Before the end of the even ing the good Duchess of Richmond was able to annouuee that lfer daugh tor fnlt an obiectlon towaltzlng w hlch no persuasion of hers could eve; aereoine. some tew girjs ui-uiuru ju dependence continued 'to'Valtt,) but the SUICIDE DUE 10 FISHING HUSBAND SUCH AN ARDENT AN GLER THAT MRS. RUTZ FOUND LIFE TOO LONELY, AND END ED HER LIFE IN NEW YORK A SAD GOOD.RYE. NEW YORK, April 10. Mrs. Her man Rutz, wife of Albert Rutz, of No. 398 South Fifth street, Brooklyn, committed suicide with carbolic acid besause her husband persisted In go ing fishing. Rutz Is a prosperous salesman and the father of thiee chil dren. When Rutz came home for dinner he found his little ones playing in the street. They said they had not seen their mother for a long time. The husband iound hispwife dead on a bed with an empty carbolic acid bottle In her hand. On a nearby table was a note which read: "Good-by to all. Kiss Paulino and Emma. Give Paulino my watch, and all my other things to Walter. My life is too lonely to live. Albert, you can go fishing now as much as you like. I ain't in your way any longer. I love you and only you. You told me you woudl not go out with me any more, so my heart Is broken. Today I feel too bad to live. You are away too much. I have nobody in tho world." . Rutz told the police that In the morning before going to woik he had told his wife that on Sunday he in tended to go Ashing. He said that 3he did not raise any objection. "I have a weakness for fishing," he said, "and I have often brought my wife back good catches, which she used to distribute around among the neighbors. I don't see why she killed herseli because I like to fish." WOMAN HAS SLEPT MANY DAYS. All Attempts to Awaken Mrs. Haw kins Prno Futile. LOS ANGELES, April 10.
