Al first, Mrs. Sanborn was disposed to le moderate, naming only 63. She sail she found evidence against the 63, letters from them, in her Jiusband's MONDAY, strongbox. Besides that, she fixed up a perfectly good set of grounds —cruel- ty, neglect, etc. Sanborn was disposed to be rather proud of the modest 63 co respondents. What he balked at was the cruelty charge. “1 can’t help it,’’ he said, “if wom en to whom 1 go on business like me and are fools enough to write such let ters as my wife found. But I never' beat my wife. She gets nervous and I have to hold her. She bruises easily, and that's the way that came about. “Besides,” he added spitefully, “I understand my wife is going back on tlie stage.” When Mrs. Sanborn heard that, she kicked off the Emit and raised to 185. “Now that Mr. Sanborn is talking the way he is, I shall ask my lawyer to include every one of them,” she says.

Most interesting, however, was a carefully kept record book, in which Sanborn listed his fair correspondents by name and address, with shorthanu memorandum for each, covering her like this: “Loves dearly.” “ Kisses constantly.” “Very affectionate but very se date.” “Cautious.” “Sticks closer than fly paper.” “Chilly at first, but capable of warming up.” OPEN GAMING IN ITALY Cabinet Approves Proposal to Legalize Play Under Certain Conditions.

New York, Sept. 10.—The entire j clerical force of a big banking house ' in Broad street spent 48 hours this I week in a feverish search for 8 cents. When they finally located the 80 mills sought there was a ruction right, for behold, they were ensconsed in the , digit column of the figures on a check j for $2.40 —rather a check that had been ■ for $2.40, but which now read $2.48. i The 8 was in different ink from that I in which the 2 and the 4 were written. 'Clearly the check had been raised!! I This appalling discovery came at the i end of a cent chase that left the whole j force of the bank limp with exhaustion. I One night it was found that the books jof the bank didn't balance. They were 8 cents off. Now, it's customary, ‘when bank books don’t balance, to make 'em balance or know the reason why. So, weary though they were, the clerks wen/ to work to find or account j for the 8 cents. They worked till sundown, then snatched a lunch and worked on. After midnight they knocked off and went home to snatch some sleep. When the doors of the building were opened in the morning they were on hand to take up the search again. All day and tar into the night they followed the trail. At midnight the mystery was solved. ; Over eleven thousand checks had been : inspected. Then they came to the check ! for $2.48, that had been a check for I $2.40, as the stub plainly showed tor i the check had been made out in the J bank. Now they faced another mystery. Who had raised the check? And why? Why raise a check only 8 cents? It developed that the check had been The Martha Fowlkes Studio of. Expression and Dramatic Art. BS Martha Fowlkes.

Rocamora, an employe of the bank, that he might send it to pay his gas bill of $2.40 and thus save a trip to the gas office. The $2.40 was to be de j ducted from Mr. Rocamara’s salary. | The banking people finally concluded that the gas bill was perhaps really for $2.48. and that some clerk at the gas office had obligingly raised the check, with a view to rectifying a possible mistake on the part of Mr Rocamara. And, of course, he would; want the gas offee books to balance, whether the bank books did or not. But the gas office indignantly de i nies the allegation. They say they are not in the habit of raising checks. So the mystery of the 8 cents remains, unsolved still. ELECTRICAL CURRENTS OUGHT TO GROW HERE Rochester. NW.. Sept. 10.—Given a farm of 3878.78 acres, what would you , do with it? Wheat? Corn? Yes, but this farm is 160 mile? long । nd onlv 200 feet wide, with a dozen different kinds of soil. You can't erect and building* on it. High tension ca bles carrying 60,000 volts of electricity pass over it. It is owned by a western New York state power company. Expert farmers and horticulturists are trying to devise a plan to make the land pay dividends. The company had to buy the land to get the right of way. The officers . thought they would split the land up into 80 separate farms, but there is the I difficulty of transporting labor and mov- i inj* the crops. Small fruits might do, but the branches of the trees would . overhang neighboring farms and trouble 1 might result. Everybody likes to sue a i corporation. Some of the land is adapted to grow- < ing apples, some of it to wheat, some to corn, but there isn't enough of any one kind of soil to make one crop worth while. If the land can be made to pro duce, the company figures it would be worth $300,000. Don't forget the Imperial Turkish bath house for any kind of bath. All fixed up anew.
