I BANGOR. Me.. Nov. 8.?The "pcrf.
feet marriage" of the "perfect woman"
and the "perfect man" was a
"perfect failure."

byher mother, the wealthy New York
philanthropist, to be a"wonder woman,"
and who just a few years ago
was called "the perfect woman," is
now suing her husband, Waldo

"superman," and whom Dorothy Rice
once called the "perfect man." for divorce.
Suit was filed in the Bangor court
and allegations of abusive treatment
' and nonsupport were made.
Waldo, famous Harvard football
star, man of refinement, culture, education
and wonderful physical
streng'h, Is now trying to forget the
wrecking of the "perfect marriage"
by driving an ambulance in France.

Dorothy Rice was brought up in a
twentieth century Garden of Eden,
from which all men but her instructors
were barred. In It lived the
wonder-woman-to-be, her mother and
her tutors.
There she learned everything that
was'good and true and sound in life.
Her every thought and desire was
granted. Every bent of her mind was
carefully watched and developed by
tutors. Particular attention was paid
to h~r physical culture.
uorotny Ktce went out from her
modern Eden a wonderful girl, physically
and mentally.
Waldo Pierce left Harvard at about
the same time and people called hlra
a rare specimen of perfect manhood,
mentally, physically and morally.
The perfect woman met the perfect
man in Madrid, Spain, where both
were studying art. That was seven
years ago. Both families and all
their friends .watched the courtship
sumably the belled buzzard mentioned
In these columns several weeks ago
as having been seen in Pocahontas
county, says the Alderson Advertiser.
Mr. Bowles was attracted by the ball
and thought it was the turkeys but on
looking in every direction *and seeing
no turkeys all the while the bell sound
lng nearer, he and his wife both looked
up and saw the buzzard and distinctly
saw the hell. At the time it was not
more than twenty-five or thirty yards
away.
Parkersburg is to have some now
fire apparatus. In a recent issue the
ParkerBburg Sentinel said: "The city
authorltlesi have decided on the purchase
of th'e new fire fighting appara
tus which has been under discussion
so long. It will be purchased from the
Robinson Mfg. Co., of St Louis ana
will coBt $8,000. It will be delivered
in about four months. The new machine
will carry triple apparatus, and
carry 1,200 feet of hose with ladders
and its motor will be so made that it
can be used to pump 750 gallons ot
water per minute. Supt. Boso has bjer.
authorized to enter into contract for

They returned after a romantic

her time to art. painting pictures of

She acquired considerable fame as a

The aeroplane enthralled her and
she wai the first American woman to

Between whiles she found time to

This Winter.
HOULT. Nov. 9.?Construction work
on the high explosives line of the Monongahela
Powder Co. plant was temporarily
suspended Tuesday and the
carpenters laid off. Mr. Ensign the superintendent
of the high explosives
work has returned to his home In
Pennsylvania. Tho causes of the
shut down were various, among
which may be mentioned scarcity of
labor, difficulty of procuring shipments
of lumber and other materials
and above all the difficulty, even if
(he factory was finished, of procuring
the raw materials for the manufacture
of nitro-glvcerlne and dynamite.
Ir Is expected to resume work
on the plant in the early spring.
Tbe black powder plant Is being
run full capacity and shipments are
being made in carlots. Isaac McDonald
the foreman is getting tbe
work down to a point where everything
is working more smoothly and
a better grade of powder Is being
turned out and in larger quantities.
New Mine Opening.
Owing to the difficulty caused by

Company whose mine at Rivesvllle
has been loading their coal over

nearer Hoult than tho old opening
Coal will be loaded on the Powder

Mr. and Mrs. John Wright of Hutchinson
have been visiting their
daughters, Mrs. James Snider and
Mrs. Earl Holbert here.
Mr. and Mrs. James R. McElfresh
of Morgantown are visiting relatives
In Hoult.
The roads are getting almost impassable
which is not remarkable
considering that the road repairers
have done nothing to the orads about
Hoult lor a year past. What do they
