Enters Meanest Man Contest. When the "meanest men” are segre gated Joseph Reinhart may at least be lieutenant governor of the colony. This, according to what his wife says of him in a bill for separate maintenance filed this week. The itelnhart domicile is at 1834 Rela street and the wife tabulates her grievances as follows: "When she and their three children became ill from eating a rabbit kept too long on the market, the husband told her they could all die before he w'ould call a physician. "When she asked him for $1 to pay a physician for dressing the hand of their son. who had accidentally shot himself, he brutally refused and said ho wished the boy had blown off his head. "Told her he would have her put in an insam asylfn, 'right or wrong.' and would use force, iL necessary, to initno i late her in a mad Ttouse. "Pulled her by the hair through the kitchen and front room, mopped the floors with her bruised and bleeding body and then thr.w her into the urea way. "Struck and abused her whenever the mood was upon him, which was very frequently. "Cursed and reviled her tn the presence o' the childri n ami visitors, whenever they had any." All of which, she submits, constitutes grounds for a separation. Could Not. Be "Joshed.” | Last but not least in the chapter of I marital misery Is the story of Albert I I'aufurth. commissioner of Morocco for ■ the Louisiana Purchase exposition. "1 i cannot stand the jokes of my women friends over the fact that I am married," lie wailed to Judge Kavanagh. "1 can ; not stand it to be ‘joshed’ all the time." ■ Danfurtli was president of a boiler comjiany when he married at Decatur, ! Ills., in December, 1901. At that time, I his wife asserted, he was rapidly run > ning through a large estate that has now been quite dissipated. It was after he i : ■ t iirm-d from a "business" trip that the I first dissensions arose. His wife and her I mother unpacked his grip and were hor | ritied to find therein a pair of woman’ i silk hose and other articles of dainty feminine lingerie. When they rebuked j him. he retorted by saying he was weary !of marri'd life, as it tied him down too ; closely. Hollowing this quarrel, lie sent i his wife to Boston to school, with the ad- I monition that she might as well prepare i to support herself in the event their diffi ! otdlies continued. Then he wired her i brother that lie would apply for a divorce, , .is married life was extremely ii'k. ome. j and ‘joshing’ pained him. Wife Was Too Vivacious. Victor L. Cunnyngham, who took Miss Jennie V. Hodgen. of Louisville, "r., for beter or worse, November 12. 1884. has i come to the conclusion that it was for ; the worse, and has asked Judge Kav | anagh to sever the somewhat ragged tie i that binds him to Iter. He charges that l she thinks more of gay parties, theater “scrimmages” and fancy dinners in the I company of a ‘‘cafe fiddler" than she , does of her lawful liege. Walter Sehlieete, i a violinist at the Calumet case, is named jas corespondent. Cunnyngham states } that in the summer of 1891 he set out i blithely to inspect some gold mines in ! South America, and while he was hard ■ at work digging out a lit < lihood lor his | family, his wife was at home lavishing | money aud attentions upon Sehlieete He ' returned to find his home wrecked and | his wife gone. After diligent search, he i elaims to have found het in a. hotel, and | when he upbraided her. sh" fled to Wash ington with the "fiddler.” I-ater they boldly returned to Chicago, where they rented a fiat and defied him.

There is nothing that has a more deleter ioUn effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves tiian the excessive use of tobacco. Pain and tenderness around the heart, an oppressive feeling in the chest, choking sensation in the throat, discomfort from sleeping on the le'.t side and smothering spells at night when the sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are the most common symptoms of a weak heart. Smokers who'eel these symptoms and who do not understand then meaning should be warned in time, by the following exper.ence: “1 was greatly troubled with an affection of the hear!, due I think to excessive smoking. On writing to you for advice I was directed to begin a course of treatment which in cluded Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. Dr. Miles' Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pilis, together with bathing, etc. I faithfully followed the directions given ; nd am pleased to say that my cure is complete and permanent. Be fore beginning the use of your remedies I was so nervous I could not keep my hands stili and suffered greatly from severe pains 1 around the heart.

New York, December 24.—The Commer cial Advertiser today prints a letter signed by General Leonard Wood, and addressed to Dr. Horace Fletcher, of ¥-!» university, in which the writer tells of his acquaintance with Edgar G. Bellairs. In the letter, which was written at Cairo on May 12 last, General Wood, referring to Bellairs, said: Tn the spring of 1889 he was promoted to Havana (from Santiago), not at my request or suggestion, direct or indirect, as I remember it. He asked absolutely no favors of me, or, so far as 1 know, from any one. "After my transfer to Havana as gov ( rnor of the whole island in December, 1899, Bellairs continued on duty, I should say, about live months, and was then sent to China and the Philippines, not at my suggestion., or request, directly or in direc'tly. 1 was sorry to have him go, as all liked him and found him reliable. In the Philippines, Bellairs was a believer In military government instead of civil and apparently wrote accordingly, and of course trouble with the civil government i In tiie way of loss of friendly relations I followed. After Bellairs left Havana. : ugly rumors about him began to be circu lated. They came almost entirely from a number of men who did not like him. and i on investigation nothinj, definite was ' found. I heard from him very seldom. Finally some one published what pur- ■ ports to be a story of Bellairs’ past and points out that he was my particular friend and that I sent him to the Phil ippines and that his attitude toward the civil government was at my suggestion and that I was working to relieve Taft, etc., conclusions as false as. they are childish and silly. Who started the tiling no one knows, but doubtless some of tli:< people 1 had to handle without gloves during my stay in Cuba. it was far fetched and dishonest and intended to create trouble. Th 1.-, is the whole story. Bellairs was in no way especially Inti mate wil't mo or my lamily, that is to say. 1 don't think that in all this Cuban service lie was at mj table more than three or at most four times.

"Brigadier General United States Army” BANKS TOLD TO WATCH WIDOWS Stringent Ruling Regarding Pay ment of Pension Certificates. Washington. December 21.—1 t is stal'd at the treasury department that where a pension certificate has been issued to ■a woman who personated the widow of a deceased pensioner and pension agents’ checks nave been drawn payable to bcr and delivered to her upon vouchers ex ecuted by her and the bank cashed such cheeks, which were in due course paid at the subtreasury upon which drawn, the government will make reclamation of the amount. In other words, bankers and other per sons who cash pension checks are charged with the responsibility of establishing the identity of the payees of such checks to the same extent that they were charged with the responsibility ot establishing the identity of the payo' of checks issued in ordinary commercial transactions. Tin exhibition of a pension certificate is not indentification of the person named th', rein. The ruling was held in a. case arising in Georgia wherein one Clarissa Owens, whose real name was Mollie Melton, ob tained a (tension, it is said, by person ating the deceased wife of a sold,"), and received payment at the rate of S 3 per month from April 8, 1901, to May 4. 1903. .It. developed in the examination M this claim that the soldier left a widow | HEALTH is the I Most Important No one can tell good baking powder from bad merely by the appearance; The price is some guide, but not an infallible one; Some cheap brands may raise the dough, yet contain unwholesome ingredients.
