SHREWD BIGAJT11ST. Attempt to Keep Two Families Ends In Grtef. AXIOMS EVOLVED BY A BIGAMIST. When a woman gets hold of a man coat, he might aa well give up and marry up. No man who marries two women on small salary can affcrd cigars. Let him make cigarettes ; it's cheaper. If a man marries two women, when the first one scolds at night be had bet ter turn over and go to sleep. No man ought to try to fool a lot of women. Most any man will marry a woman if ehe begs long enough and bard enough and furnishes the money fur the wed ding. Two women are no good. They both er too much and make trouble. If a man's first wife is good to him he will like her better than any other woman. Chicago, Sept. 13. The above philo sophical deductions are made by Stan ley Sobienzcik, confessed bigamist, in relating his experience with two fam ilies on a salary of $13.50 a week. By philoHophy and strict economy Sobiesz cik managed for four months to exist in apparent happiness, dividing his time between two WeBt Side homea. Out of the discovery of his dual life has come the imprisonment ot Sobieszcik, the grief of two women who believed him true and a life of hardship in future for one of the women and her five little ones. There was no system about Sobiesz- ick's expenditures on the two homes He spent his money as he got it and when it was gone he went without com plaint until he got more. "If there were any shortage any week I made my second wife stand for it," he explained at the county jail. She had friends. My other wife had nobody to help her. I thought it was right to take the best care of my first family." Sobieszcik declares his second mar riage resulted from a street flirtation Three years ago he worked as a black' smith in West Lake street. Across the street was a factory where Kate Galus worked. They met on the street once, ha sav. and there began the acquaint ance which ended in Sobieszoik's being drawn into a bigamous marriage. "I couldn't get out of marrying Kate," paid Sobieszcik. She would have me. I finally married her to keep her from jumping in the lake. There's no eense of a man trying to get awav when a w o m a n gets hold of him. It's all off then." It was three days after the marriage with Miss Galus at St. Wencetilas Church before Sobieezcik could get free to return to his Paulina-street home. " 'I suppose you've been away having a good time with your friends acain,' my wife remarked to me," said the prisoner. ''I did not eav nnythin; back. I turned ovr and went to sleep " DM she keep on talking ?" "Women always keep on talking," said .Sobieszcik, "and when a man's wife talks he better keep still. If I'd talked hick she'd have knocked my hetd with a poker. I kept quiet and let her talk." The prisoner insisted he would not have staved away from his children any longer than the three days be gave up to tua honeymoon with hib new wite. Ti;e new Mrs. Sobiesczik proved a jealous woman. On his return to her hone, after three days at his first home, she demanded tearfully to know where hjr husband had been. "I would just laugh at her when ehe wanted to know where I stayed," said Sobiesczik. "I wouldn't tell her any thing. Then sh M talk and Fcold for hours. A jealous wsoian is like a tom cat. She will youl all night and let no body sleep. "The more women a man has the more trouble. They all want money. I got along all right, though, for, when I was out cf money, that was all there was to it. I was short all the time, but, when I was, I had to stand for it. "Mv worst trouble was arranging my hoars so the women wouldn't learn about eaoh other. I got a good system worked out. I would go to see Kate af ter work and stay until late in the even iDg. Then I'd go home, and the next evening I'd go home for a few hours and then go back to Kate. But it was no use ; they found me out at last and don't know as I'm sorry. The business of trying to keep two women happy al the time was too much for me. It made me neryous." Sobiesczik's wives met and compared notes in Justice Severon's court while waiting for a chance to testify against the man, who is held in default of $3000 bail, Each had an infant and they learned there is only nine days difference in the ages of the children who have been named Walter and John The little ones so closely resemble one another that some persons in the court room thought them to be twins. OWES LiIi'E TO BANDIT. Why Stephen B. Elklna la Friend IF to Younger. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. Cole Young' er. the promoter of the electric railway from Kansas City to Lone Jack by way of Lees Summit, says that the money to finance the project is being furnished by Eastern capitalists. Mr. Younger refuses to name his backers, but there is a well-grounded report that the greater amount of the needed capital is being furnished by Senator Stephen B. Ell; ins, of West Virginia. In this connection the story of how the Young ers saved the life of Senator Elkins is being retold. When the Civil War began the El kins family was living in Missouri. Stephen enlisted in the Federal Army At that time the Younger bo?s and Frank and Jesse James were members of the Quantrell band. It happened that in one of the Qnantrell expeditions ElkinB was captured. Quantrell ordered Elkios turned over to a squad of men and taken to the rear. The order to "take to the rear" in Qiantrell's parlance meant death While Elkins' custodians were conduct ing their prisoner to the rear, Cole Younger and Frank James, both of whim knew Elfcins well, stopped the party : "Hello, Steve," eaid Frtink James. "Hello, Frank. Hello, Cole," re plied Elkins. When James and Younger found out what w is about to happen to a former friend they tried to prevail upon the guards to turn him over to them. At tirt-t the guards fefusrd, givlDg as a rea son that the cnptain had ordered El kins "taken to the rear." Finally Jamea and Younger, promie ng faithfully to be responsible for the prisoner to Quantrell, succeeded in p e- vaihng upon the tuard to turn h'm over. While the company was riding along leisurely, with Frank James, C le Younger and Elkins well to the rear, a bug'e call was blown and the horsemen were soon in a gallop. "What does that mean," asked E1- kins. Cole Younger replied: "It means that we are going to have a fight, Steve." In a few minutes more the entire company was in full gallop, then it was that Cole Younger tamed to Elkin9 and said : "About ha!f a mile fu,th r we a e go ng to come to the forks of tl e road. We will take the right hand. You put the spurs to your horse and make the eft or you are a dead man as sure as your name is Steve Elkins." Elkins needed no further encourage ment. When the parting of the two ways was reached, he lay down flat up on the horse's back and plunged tie purs in and got well out of danger be fore he was missed by anyone except the men who connived at his escape. An engagement followed soon thereaf ter, and Quantrell was under the im pression for a while that Elkins had been killed. Elkins never forgot the eervice ren dered by Cole Younger and Frank James. After the Youngers bad been rent to prison for life be was ever ready to aid them in any possible way. He made many trips to St. Paul to inter cede with the Ooyernor of Minnesota for them, and it is now said that he pro poses to assist Cole Younger in his par pose to build an electric line from Kan sas City to the former home of the Youngers. No Hatred of Foreigners. Washington, Sept. 16. An official re port concerning the recent anti-treaty riots in Tokio was today received by the Japanese legation. On the basis of this report, Mr. Hioki, charge d'affaires of Japan, said today: My advices from Tokio do not at tempt to minimize the importance of affairs as they existed. The immediate provocation of the riotous outbreak was the action of the police, who sought to prevent a politi cal mass meeting, and not the slightest hostility toward foreigners in general and Americans especially entered into the spirit of the mob. Of course there are many Japanese who are disappointed at the terms of the peace treaty and it is natural that they should express their disappoint ment, but the majority of the thinking class of my country deprecate the riot ous action and regret the injurious im pression created by these disturbances, which apparently led some people to regard them as an indication of a feel ing of hostility on the part of Japan toward the United States. I am authorized to Bay that, notwith standing what differences of opinion may exist in Japan over the terms of peace, there is a strong, united and friendly feeling toward the United States and deep appreciation of trie earnest, impartial and sincere good will which has attended the efforts of President Roosevelt.
