Just upstairs from the probate judge's office where the authority) to wed is vested, is another court that is just now kept pretty busy untying the knots that have been tied. To sit in the lower court room and watch the admiring glances exchanged by two trembling contracting parties, while the judge is making out license and going through the ceremony, one would scarcely believe that anything could ever come between the happy pair. But a visit to the court room overhead reveals the fact that he has been by reason thereof deceived and disgraced, so that be has suffered mortification and shame and to such an extent that be has been injured in his business and Bociai relations and that his health has been He also alleges that the woman who deceived him so cruelly has tyranlcally taken control of his household and his-family, bossed him in his business affairs and refused and failed to cook for him or to provide any one else to do eo, and to look after his clothes that, she has often absented herself from him under the plea of look'ng after business, when he verily believes she was away for the purpose of visiting other men of being guilty of gross- haps ask this questioned it will be no more fully answered in the years to come than it is now or has been in the past. The hopscotch manner in which people Defendant is charged with extreme many things do come between a large crueltF, i. e.

There are twenty-eight divorce cases standing for trial at this are united in the holy bonds very often in this age, must furnish an immense number of instances' wherein the answer may be returned: In many instances it is decidedly so. Marry in haste mid repent at leisure is an old saying, but thousands annually illustrate it quite forcibly. The records of the courts of the country, which are crowded with divorce cases, also testify to an affirmative answer. Yet, as a whole there may be as much evidence to show that we owe all the pleasure of home, all the highest and purest reali term of the District courr.

Almost every cause provided in the statutes is alleged in the various petitions. There Is Myrtle Essing, for instance, who asks for a divorce from Louis offences against him and violations of her marriage vows. He says he has provided for her, furnished her money to pay her taxes and debts, and that he has often pleaded with her to give over her bad practices and obnoxious habits, all to no avail. The doctor asku for judgment releasing him from the marriage relations with defendant; for alimony to the extent of one-half of her property, 6ome of which he alleges is held in trust for. her in the names of others.

In short he wants to be divorced and paid for the humiliation shame and loss of social standing and health he has sustained by defendant's deceiving him to marry her when she was not legally divorced from a former husband. Essing, to whom she was married in Parsons, the 19th of July, 1891. he threatened to kill her, charging her with adultery; that he destroyed the peace of mind of plaintiff, and worried her until her health was affected and her happiness destroyed Maria further alleges that during the present month defendant came to the home, and on being politely invited to sit down and eat dinner, instead of complying, he tipped the table over, turning the dinner and dishes on the floor, and then taking a chair, smashed the table into smithereens. Oneoftbe most interesting pleadings on the divorce docket iu that of A. Rupin, doctor at Pittsburg, who married Sarah E.

Cissna on the 21st of of November, 1893. The doctor alleges in his petition that Mrs. Cissna deceived him that she claimed she was legally divorced from George W. Cissna; that he married her in the zations of Eociety to the marital relation. This is certainly true.

There a big chance to take however in estering upon a contract which shall bifc two people together legally for Myrtle alleges in her. petition that though she always endeavored to be to Louis a dutiful and obedient spouse, that he has cruelly and grossly neglected to contribute to her support, and that on the 14th day of July, 1892, in loss than a year after their marriage, he abandoned her and that she ha no idea of his whereabouts. W. B. Moore asks for a divorce from Mary Moore to whom he was married at Columbus, Kansas, May 15, 1892.

Moore avers that on March 10, 1894, his wife wilfully and without any cause and without provocation from him, deserted and abandoned him. He The fellows who are worrying lest J. life. And still, when those who enter the courts asking to be freed from the ties of matrimony, seem to be the most anxious of all the people in a community to try it over again as soon as they are free, it would seem that it is not the marriage so much that is a failure, as those who participate in it. That is a large number of the participants.
