Says Her Husband Was
Cruel to Her and Was

She is Granted a Decree of Absolute Divorce
From Dr. S. H. McKim of New York by
Judge at Reno After Recital of Woes.
United Press.
Reno Nev. Aug. 13.—Mrs. Margaret 1
Emmerson McKim was granted a de-
cree of absolute divorce from Dr. S. H.
McKim of New York late this afternoon
by Judge Pike after Mrs. McKim took
the stand and told of.alleged cruelty on
the part of her husband.
Mrs. McKim daughter of the
“bromo-seltzer king” came to Reno
six months ago to establish a ‘‘legal
residence” and was practically the
oily witness. She testified that her hus-
band treated her cruelly and that he
was "almost an habitual drunkard.”
Mrs. McKim while on the stand de-
scribed a narrow escape from death
when she alleges she was left helpless
on the window ledge of a sixth floor
apartment in the Plaza hotel in New
York lost consciousness but rolled by
accident into the room instead of fall-
ing to the pavement below. She said
her husband placed her on the narrow
ledge overhanging the street after he
had quarrelled with and assaulted her.

TEmßs
You have always wanted
to make some easy
money and here’s
your chance.
q In the town of Woodward are a
number of homes that we are
to give away for we want more
people to live here.
4 The total valuation of these
homes will be over ten thousand
dollars.
q This town is growing real fast
and the population is increas-
ing every day but we want
every person in Texas to talk
about Woodward and you’ll
certainly sing about it if you
get one of these homes.
q Old Father Time is certainly a
sprinter and if you don’t get
busy your neighbor will laugh
at you when he shows you his
deed to his Woodward home.
qOf course we won’t spend
. money in giving yon any fur-
ther particulars so limber up
and call at the office without
delay.

treated her cruelly and told of various
attacks he had made upon her.
She said he threw her bodily about
their apartments once throwing her
across a sofa with such force that her
body broke the arms of the coueh. She
testified that her husband was fre-
quently intoxicated and outlined scenes
at the horse show and at fashionable
gatherings in Baltimore New York
and Newport. He was ‘‘always fright-
fully drunk” she said and frequently
insulted her before others in the party.
Mrs. McKim alleged that her hus-
band sometimes went to bed with a
whiskey bottle and a lighted lamp on
the table near his bed declaring she
used to lie awake all night watching
the lamp for fear McKim would knock
it over and burn both herself and her
husband to death. Mrs. McKim admit-
ted that her husband ‘‘usually sobered
up during the day.”
Judge Pike took the case under ad-
visement and a few moments later an-
nbunced that Mrs. McKim was entitled
to the decree. He made the separation
permanent.

‘‘‘LaFollette and his followers stand

Referring to the speakership of the
next house Cannon said: “I do not
I know whether we will have a majority

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
Washington Aug. 13. —To bring the
people of the earth to the same condi-
tion in so far as speech is concerned as
existed prior to the Babylm incident
many centuries ago the Seax Inernacia
Kongreso de Esperanto which translat-
ed is the Sixth International Esperanto
congress will meet in convention here
for a week begining August 15.
Twenty-two nations will be repre-
sented and there will be at least forty
different languages at the command of
the delegates but English’ German
Spanish Italian Polish Japanese and
Chinese are to be left behind when the
two thousand delegates assemble for the
convention.
Esperanto the language which it is
hoped will soon become universal is
alone to be used. There will be Es-
peranto addresses by delegates repre-
senting each of the twenty-two coun-
tries and that will have representation
through delegates and there will be
Esperanto five minute talks from those
delegates who speak a different lan-
guage than the official tongue of their
nation. There is to be a play in Es-
peranto—Shakespeare’s ‘‘As You Like
It” —and this is scheduled to be the
first Shakespearean play over given in
Esperanto.
Esperanto Ball Game.
The Esperanto enthusiasts seek to
bring their missionary work right home
to the people. Therefore they are to
witness a game of baseball which the
delegates will attend during convention
week played between the Washington
and Cleveland American league teams
and described in Esperanto. Spalding’s
will issue on that day a base ball story
showing the game in Esperanto terms.
The umpire will start the proceedings
by shouting ‘‘lulu pilco” which is the
well known "play ball” or its equiva-
lent. He will call "frapumo” instead
of "strike” while a "neliga” is not
the name of summer underwear but
what Esperantists call a "foul ball.”
The Esperanto Association of North
America which has a membership of
five thousand is to be host of Es-
perantists from all over the world. John
Barrett head of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Republics is president of the as-
sociation and will preside over the con-

La Grange Tex. Aug. 13.—What is
believed to be the largest century plant
in the world is in full bloom in the
yard of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Schuch in
this city. The plant is 37 feet 8
inches high and measures 38 inches
around the bottom. The much adver-
tised century plant in New York City
is only twenty feet high and the
largest century plant in San Anto-
nio is not to be compared with the one
in this city. Many visitors come here
from the cities and country to see the
plant.

He began his work twenty years ago
but it is only in the past six years that
the universal language has taken hoi I.
Now there are Esperanto societies in
every European country and many of
the societies maintain Esperanto ho-

A CLERK
Yes I want a clerk a clerk who realizes he has about one chance in one thousand to
become the boss. I want to put you on the road to absolute independence. A job where
there is no clock to punch as you entet and leave. ' z-
I want you to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Lumpkin and his wife young people with
foresight enough to see the future of a clerk to be only a continual grind with nothing
in the end but old age and no comfort.
Mr. Lumpkin took off his nice suit put on overalls and a broad hat bought three
acres at Fenfield last Thursday the 7th planted radishes lettuce corn and things for
their own use on Saturday the 9th saw the plants through the ground on Tuesday the
12th with happiness and independence gold coin and good health ahead.
Mr. Lumpkin is rapidly sowing the rest of the ground largely with fall cantaloupe.
Now Mr. Clerk Why in all common sense don’t you do likewise? *
Fenfipld has magic soil wonderful artesian gushers and we employ a| our expense
a scientific irrigation expert to instruct you if you want advice.
You can pay all expenses and clear $1209.00 to $2500.00 on three acres if you have
some grit in your soul.
Mr. Holts has produced over 250 fancy cantaloupes on one-tenth of an acre and sold
them for an average of ipc each. These are marvelous melons not the miserably puny
things you see on sale at three for 10c.
. . \ ■ ■ r
’Mr. Holts has an offer from-a leading hotel in San Antonio for all the melons he can
raise at 15c each. Now one acre will produce 2500 melons. At 15c they will bring.
$375.00 and three crops like this can be raised on one acre in 12 months. That means
$1125.00 but there is some expense to come off and reducing it to $750.00 or even
$600.00 clear it is better than you can earn behind that counter or desk.
I want to talk to you right now. ■ ।

Once Leaders in Society
Austin Women Are In
Asylum Through Drugs
Left a Competence They Spent It in Fateful
Grip of Cocaine and Men Who Once Receiv-
ed Them as Guests Send Them to Refuge.
Special Dispatch.
Austin Tex. Aug. 13.—The victims
of powerful drugs and reduced to the
lowest straits of poverty Mrs. Texie
Cummings and Miss Nina Cummings
were tried before County Judge R. E.
White this morning and adjudged in
sane. With them was Mrs. Cummings
mother an aged lady who was not
tried for insanity but was sent to a
home for the destitute.
Men who sat on the jury and con-
victed Mrs. Cummings of lunacy re-
member when fifteen years ago she
was one of the handsomest and wealth-
iest women of Austin. Dr. Cummings
at the time of his death it is said
left his widow and family a competen-
cy of $30000 in cash and much real
estate. What became of their wealth
in so short a time has never been ex-
plained. Both mother and daughter
are the hopeless victims of cocaine.
The three generations of womanhood
before the court this morning present-
ed a sad spectaele and elicited the sym-
pathy of many who heard _ the testi-
mony. In the formal commitment the
age of Mrs. Cummings was put at 68
years but bld men members of the
jury ’ recalled that but a few years
ago' she was but in her girlhood. The
age was put down merely froTh out-
ward appearances. The daughter’s age
I was given as 30 years.
While cocaine has dragged the moth-
j or and daughter into poverty and phy-
sical wretchedness witnesses said this
morning they had not acquired any of
the other vices which usually accom-
pany such a downfall and their condi-
tion is attributed to drugs alone.
Both have worked in a printing
house and in a chili factory but re-
cently neither has been able to work.
The cause of their detention was sev-
oral complaints to the police from citi-
zens who declared the CummYngs
women annoyed them so much they
could not restrain them longer. Yes-
terday morning about 3 o’clock Dave
Doom telephoned the police from 227
East Twenty-fourth street that Mrs.
Cummings and her daughter were an-

C C C REMOVES ALL HUMORS
0.0. O. FROM THE BLOOD
The cause of all skin diseases can be traced to some humor in the blood.
Healthy cuticles are only possible where the circulation is pure; and there-
fore the cure of any skin trouble can only come from a thorough cleansing
of this vital fluid. Salves washes lotions etc. cannot cure. True such
treatment relieves some of the itching and discomfort helps to reduce in-
flammation and aids in keeping the affected parts clean but it does not
reach the blood where the real cause is located and at best can only be
palliating and soothing. S. S. S. cures skin diseases of every character and
kind because it purifies the blood. It goes into the circulation and removes
the humors that are causing the trouble builds up weak acrid blood and
completely cures Eczema Acne Tetter Salt Rheum Poison Oak and every
other variety of skin affection. When S. S. S. has driven the humors front
the blood and purified the acid-heated circulation every symptom passes
away the cuticle is again nourished with rich healthful blood and comfort
is given to disease-tortured skins. Book on Skin Diseasesand any medical
