WIFE NAMES 185 RIVALS,
ALL HOT LETTER WRITERS
New York, Sept. 10. —Most women
yanting divorces from cruel husbands
ire satisfied in being able to prove the
ixistence of one co-respondent. Mrs.
Soseoe H. Sanborn of Brooklyn, sets a
record by adducing, nqiuing and sum-

born s husband, a real estate operator,
was the fair-haired boy.
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.
Mrs. Sanborn is voting, “air and was
once an actress. When she “discovered
all,” she went back to papa’s home,
taking all her own things and her hus
band's strongbox, full of hundreds of
letters. 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.”

EIGHT CENTS
New York Bank Searches Two
Days for ’Em, Found But
Mystery Unsolved.
। Special Dispatch.
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

drawn by the cashier of the bank for
S. R. 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. Come and see and you
will be pleased.
