The latest reports by A.wciated rrctw and Auxiliary News Service. "WE GET THE NEWS FIHST." STATEHOOD FOR NPW MEXICO" We favor the immediate admission of the territories of New Mexico ana Arlsona as separate states In the Union. Republican National Platform. 'Pfiysic CrueCtt' tfie latest in tne heat of the campaign which has just been waged In this county, the Citizen has been too busy to look after the wants of many of Its subscrlb. rs but It asks their pardon and promises to give them due attention from now on. For the benefit of those seeking divorce and full annulment of their marriage relations, the Citizen hastens to call their attention to the very latest thing in that line. It la entirely new something nifty and pleasing which Is bound to make m hit and create quite an Impress, on on the public. The new divorce plea is more modern than "brain storms," "dementia Americana." the merry widow bat and even the sheathe gown. It Is the real jroods in Its line and no dissatisfied married couple can afford to be without The name of the new plea is "Physic cruelty." The Citlzen'doe? 'no't'for one minute pretend to know what it means but that Is not necessary and has nothing to do with the matter at all. All his paper doen know about It, Is that Physic cruelty Is considered real chic and is the very latest. It came Into being when a well known actress filed suit against her hus band charging him with "Physic cruelty." He must have been a brute. No other words will express It. She may have been a brute too but that also has nothing to do with Physic cruelty. Maybe he went so far as to kick her favorite poodle dog when the poor dumb beast was having Its long hair marcelled. Maybe he objected to her wearing a slit skirt and knee trousers. This paper does not pretend to know Just what he did except that he Is openly charged with "Physic cruelty" and that certainly appears to be enough. Actor land and the four hundred of Newport are all agog. Just to think of a brand new divorce plea, which sounds bo eloquent and grand s "Physic cruelty," being sprung on the public these hot dayt. Mrs. Gould and two or three others are already preparing to amend their divorce petitions to include "Physic cruelty" and thereby keep thoroughly tip to date. The good old days are no more In the divorce line. The man who Is eued for divorce because he shied a stove lid at his wife when she burned the bread or who came home with a Jag on because his wife bc-tght two calico gowns in one season and charged them at the village store, Is a thing of the past. He lives only in literature, like Hamlet's ghost, and cuts about as much Ice. A woman who cannot prove that her husband Is guilty of "Physic cruelty" in this day and age Isn't entitled to a divorce even in South Dakota and ought to be aslwrned of herself for even taking up the court' time. But as a matter of honesty, the Citizen Is really glad to see this. "Physic cruelty" business breaks into the monotony of every day life. It comes in plenty of time to give the professional humorist a chance to Bay something new ajid if It only succeeds in turning attention from the sheathe gown and merry widow hat, it will have accomplished much for the good of the community. But my! don't It sound nifty? These days we are getting endless evidence of the supremacy of the "subconscious" in life, says the Ohio State Journal. Te other day we re ferred to a Chicago man who died of poison when the doctors declared be had never taken any poison in any shape or manner. Now we have a ease In New York where a woman suffered indescribable tortures from swallowing her false teeth. There lay the poor victim, blue In the face and gasping for breath .The doctors were hurried In two or three of them with their Xrays and many surgical instruments. Nothing would do but an operation, so she was hurried to the St. Vincent's hospital. Hy this time she was hysterical and had to be softened down with opiates. Then she was removed to the operating room and placed upon the table, surrounded by the solemn sur geons and white-capped nurses, and Just as the doctors were marking out the place for the Incision there were hurried footsteps on the staircase and the next thing a young man burst Into the operating room with the set of tbe false teeth, which bad been found under the pillow of the bed where the woman had slept that night. How they got there it is not our purpose to sur mise. Nor shall we tell how rapidly that woman got well. Tins is a psych ological dissertation, Intended to show the widening domain of the sublimin al of the subconscious activity of the mind, which In these days of advance has become so Important a part of the pathological phenomena. How quick, ly that woman got well when it was proven to her there were no false teeth in her stomach ! Borne old moss backs ere raising an awful howl because the Confederate veterans want to place Lee's statue In the Capitol at Washington. Lee was a brave soldier and since the Bears of civil war days have healed, his statue has as much right in the Capitol as a whole lot of others who never got nearer a musket than the ammunition wagon. Bribers and bribe takers should be taught that there Is a hereafter ac cording to the Knoxvllle Journal-Tribune. Yet, the president's way Is quite popular and that is to teach them that there Is also a right now with a grand jury on its business end. Every time a New Mexican starts to tell what a fine country the Bouth- west 1, sume one hands him a lemon in the shape of "well you haven't got statehood." Hut it won't be for long no, Dear old Kansas has turned turtle politically again. It has taken a long time for that radical old state to kick one Sen. Long In the sluts but every body knew he would get It sooner or later. An Illinois man has taken a vow not to paint his house until Bryan was elected. He ought to give it a few g )od coals in a ivai.ee however, for it w ill look pretty rusty later. The alienists think Thaw Is still insane an.

Stone, It was the corner stone where the bells of St. Michaels Jingle and the i ush of the crowd for the Bellaire l.ridge makes the city's noisiest scene. I rounder! the corner from Grand IV- enue the ttlreet of the magnificent! r. nst-niark and I plunged awkward'yl against the girl in the pink batiste. "Your iiurdon." I stammered; and tbe girl In pink look -tralght into my eyes. Many a passable maid have I seen in my lonely world-drifting brown r yed Bretons, Jet-orbed Andauslan n.alds, merry, gray-eyed girls of Dub lin, and the composite-charmed Miss America In her thousand end one sup rlative varieties. But the first flamm ing look from the pink maid's gray green eyes stirred my heart. It was the haunting appeal hungry, haunt ing appeal such as I had seen In my wanderings. "Madam," I called, "la there any thing I ran doT" But shu whisked by, with no word ot further look down the long, gilded street, a flash of pink In the swirl of hurrying shoppers, but drawing me all the while in her train, mad with the fancy that her eyes had turned to me in her quest. And then she halted before Canby's jlate-glassed wonderland and I had in agonized three minutes as she gaz ed at a $319 brooch at $298.50 for the annual mid-summer sale for I feared that my plnk'sh lady might be rich and not for me. But she slgh.'d most woefully, and I took heart asaln. Then Into the hodgo-podge of VI J" tcrla st. she d.trted and I found her utarlng Into a stationer's window where five-cent chromos ranged w)th the Lives of Noted Murderers one dime In the yellowest paper. "Eyes that can talk and call and witch eyes the Florentines nev T caught and n taste for this h, hang it all!" I raved. Rut she smiled and the smile wa of the most exquisite toleration, and I was sure once more of her Infinite charm. At Rltter's the lights were coming on and she seemed to hesitate before the entrance to the seructlve garden of palms. "Not there," I murmured, "not there by yourself or I cannot love tiue." And I shivered with apprehen sion. But the lady In pink tripped by and I saw her troubled look that he mourned for those within. And Oh, thase calling eyes! I pursued her, wild with what I know was love. On she went and on I went for blocks and blocks of hurry ing. But finally she Idled. . I noted the slackening pace and rushed io overtake her. By the granite pile of Pen Franklin she halted, faced about and looked me square; wth her dear green eyes yet appealing.

"this man has annoyed me for half an I hour." That was all. She tendered Mc Graw a card, and I saw an Impressive name upon It. There Is a considerable :ontroversy Just now as to whether her husband Is worth three millions or merely two. And McGraw bundled me off without ceremony. Still do I believe in ths love that springs ud when soul meets soul on the highway. I loved the girl In pink batiste I love her yet It Is only that she has two selves.
