Divorce that Don’t Divorce.
Oklahoma has an easy divorce law of
which a good many parties who have
grown weary of their matrimonial ties
have taken advantage. Those who re-
gard marriage ties lightly are apt to
regard other obligations lightly, too,
and a large number of those who have
obtained divorce decrees in Oklahoma
have skipped the Territory without pay-
ing the court costs.
And hereby hangs a tale.
home. divorce law contains a section to
the effect that no divorce granted in
the Territory shall be valid until the
costs are all paid. Those who skipped
the Territory without paying the costs
are still married, and those who have
married again are bigamists just the
same as they would have been had they
never sought an Oklahoma divorce.
The upshot of it all seems to be that
an Oklahoma divorce doesn’t: divorce
unless the parties applying for divorces
_ pay their debts to court land lawyers.
The Oklahoma divorce law isn’t as easy
as it seemed to be. The revenue clause
in it was‘probably the chief inspiration
for its passage, and the Oklahoma law-
yers and courts don’t propcss to be
cheated out of their fees.
Heat in Street Cars.
How quickly the luxuries of yester-
day become the necessitieszof to-day, is
illustrated in the demands made upon
the street railways. It is not very long
since most Norwalkersiwere so well
contented with the slow and dingy littlc
horse cars that they resistedfithe intro-
duction of electricity as a motive power.
Now that the large and well lighted
trolley cars have immeasurably in-
creased the comfort aud speedjof travel
throughout the city, we are far from
feeling satisfied. Among various other
things, it is demanded thatithe cars be
warmed by artificial heat.
The electric heaters in use do add
sery much to the comfort of passengers,
and though they may be costly we
' should suppose thnt the expenditure is
Everything that really
serves to promote the comfort, health
or convenience of those who use the
care must encourage travel and thus
swell the receipts of the company, and
upon the suburban line, it is not too
much to say that the heaters are no
longer a luxury, but have become a
profitable.
necessity.
For :ha ordinary street traifi: 1n the
city it is not certain that the artificial
heat is an advant 1ge. PeOple ordinarily
get into a car in their street dress,;with
overaaats anl wraps, anlltor the short
time spent in the average ride they are
more camtortable if the err is reason-
ably cool. Moreover, the ventilation
oi the cars is diffiwlt in winter, and
the airsom becomes close and foul.
When the temperature is artificially
raised, this ev1l is magnified. Anyone
entering such a car will often find the
atmosphere stifling, not from excessive
heat, but from the efi'wt of a slight
heat upon the various exhalations and
odors that have accumulated in the car.
While-it is desirable that cars be far-
nished with heaters, it is not always
necessary to put them in use. No
doubt, there arejmanylpersons who will
dissent fromfith-Zs opinion, but we be-
lieve that if all the cars were heated—
unless in very exceptional weather-—
there would be more complaints of bad
air than there are now of cold. There
lure other possible improvements in the
Miseet railway service that are more im-
portant than this , '
Sir‘Jd’h-n’s Joke,
It is said that Sir John E. Millais has
almost as great a reputation for joking
as for painting portrait-s. Once he was
speaking of a. beautiful young girl
whose portrait he had just finished.
. » “Her features are exquisitely mould-
‘ ed, I have heard,
seen neither the portrait .nor its orig-
inal.
‘ “Beautiful forehead and eyes,” re-
‘ . turned the artist concisely; ‘handsome
nose, fine chin, mouth like an ele-
phant’s.
“Mouth like an elephant's?”- echoed
his friend in dismay. “What a terrible
misfo'rtunel, Do you mean that it is so
' enormous, or—what do you mean?”
"Only that it is filled with superb
ivory, madam.” retprned 1 he artist with
a merry little twinkle in hisfeye.—An~

A truly wonderful instance of the 1m-

Miss Cunn of 650 Dexter street, Paw-
