An Omaha woman, says an ex
change, is suing for divorce from
her fourteenth husband. Nine
of the conjugal partners are still
alive. She got her last man in
January by advertising for him,
and that shows what advertising
will do. If a woman 55 years
old can win her fourteenth hus
band by advertising for him, it
is pretty good argument against
tho virtues of printer' ink. But
the fact is also brought out that
the advertiser should deliver the
goods as she promised, which
this one failed to do. Sho was
0 mean to the old man that he
thought thatlbe had ought to

ting them is successful, but she
has a streak of yellow that pre

Ntw Postal Order,
A new order in the postoffiee
department went into effect last
week. By its term a defaced
stamp hereafter is worthless
Should a corner be torn off, no
mailer how small, or the stamp
is mutilated in any way, it can
pot longer be used. AH letters
bearing such stamps will be held
at the postofilce two weeks for
recovery and at the end of that
time, if not claimed, will be sent
k the d.ad kltcr oSicc. Another
phase of the order Is also Inter
esting. Permission is now given
individuals to perforate the stamp
they use with a reasonably small
loatruuieut for identification pur
poses, bucn a step is inienoea
to prevent the sanding of anon
yinous U'tteror tho theft or the
mutilation of private mail of any
nature. Lxchange.
