Club Girl Alleges Scion of Rnchi
Family Broke Promise to
Wed.
Spent SSOO for Trousseau Fol
lowing the Engagement An
nouncement.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Sixty-eight per
fervid love letters, each breathing un
dying affection and the most passion
ate devotion, will be introduced in
evidence in a suit for $50,000 for al
leged breach of promise filed in East
St. Louis en behalf of a Chicago club
and sorority girl against Arnold Sted
man Ernest, son of Finis P. Ernest,
multimillionaire real estate operator
of St. Louis and Denver.
The plaintiff is Miss Ruth Roy
Stout. Miss Stout is now 21 years
old, pretty. graceful and accom
plished. She is popular among the
vounger set of the Edgewater Wom
an’s Club and other North Side social
circles,
Only the praecipe of the suit has
been filed by Miss Stout’s attorney,
James E. Callahan. He is now pre
paring the declaration, which, he
®ays, will uncover one of the most
ardent wooings ever pelated in or out
of a courtrcom.
Wooed for Eighteen Months.
"the wooing of Miss Stout, covering
eighteen months, punctuated at short
Intervals by the love letters from
Ernest, ended abruptly on September
1 last, one month from the time de
ciared to have been set for the wed
ding.
Young Ernes:, who is a member of
the East St. Louis Gasoline Company
and wealthy in his own right, is said
to have fled to Texas to escape being
served with a summons in the suit.
He is 27 vears old. .
The wooing by the young capitalist,
which found its climax in the an
nouncement of the engagement ih
"hicago papers on August 24, the set
ting of October 1 for the wedding day
and the purchase by Miss Stout of a
SSOO wedding trousseau, began when
the young people were introduced at a
soctal gathering in Chicago
“Proposed Next Day."
The very next dav. Miss Stout told
her attorney, she received a letter
from Ernest. in which he declared he‘
loved her and wanted her to marry
him.
On March 31 last he wrote, accord
ing to one of the letters exhibited by
Miss Stout:
“l love my little girl so much and
certainly hate to be away from her, as
I know you miss me as much as I do
vou. Dearest, vou are all in the world
I have, so do be careful, as I some
times feel frightened about vou. Will
write again to-morrow, dear heart,
and don’t think me neglecting vou, as
I love you so much, Always yours,
. “ARNOLD.”
“Dearest Little Girl.”
On August 14, ten days before the
nnouncement of the engagement,
Miss Stout declares she received the
foliowing letter from her fiance
“Dearest Little Girl-—lt will be a
few days longer, dearest: just think!
To-day is the 14th, and we will only
be senarated one month and a half;
then I will come to get you, dearest,
and you will be all mine. My busi
ness is as zood as ever, and when fall
comes I will be in a still hetter posi
tion to take care of a wife
“ARNOLD.”
The letters ceased September 1, and
eight 'etters written by Miss Stout
remained unanswered, she declares,
until September 29, when she received
a brief letter saying Ernest had been
ill and asking that the wedding be de
ferred for three weeks. Pinkerton de
tectives employed by Miss Stout arfl'
declared to have found Ernest was in
his usual health
Miss Stout has turned over to her
lawyers a number of other letters she
received from Ernest when he was
tending a “gas tank” in FEast 8t
Louis, in which he made none too sly
allusions to the “little home,” and
sald that within a few dave he was
going to take her away from her
mother
Thinks Gas Affected Letters.
“1 think some of the Standard Oil
Company's gas went Into his letters,”
she sald as she pointed to one which
told of #inking two gas tanks In the
grouhd and “missing his twin girl |
It reads
“Yesterday we put two tanks in the
ground. One holds 2,400 gallons and
the other 1,200 gallons. It was some

On another occasion he wrote |

“Good-by, sweetheart, with much
love and kisses, “ARNOLD.”
“Sweetheart, 1 love you more every
day, and the time can not come tou
quickly for me when I will be able to
hold.you. sweet, and gall you mine,”
he wrote in another letter. “You have

Refers to “Day of Days.”
Then Miss Stout displayed another
letter, written one Friday, in which
Ernest mentioned “the Ist of Octo
ber” as the “day of days”
“Just read that,” she said. “If that
isn't a promise to marry me, then 1
don't knpw one.”
The letter read:
“lI am counting the days unt!l the

there are only 80 more days before |

“Just think—the fst of October. 1

“ARNOLD.”
After detalling some troubles with
the “gas” Arnold wrote in another
letter:
“l haven't written much, but have
been thinking of you a lot and miss
my twin girl a great deal. I look a

Change of Mind Noted.
Another letter, written after Miss«
stout had glven up a position (n ex

“How strange that you shaquld leave

Committee of Southern Commer

Plans to improve Southern farm
ing and increase the profits from agri
culture by improving the machinery
for the distribution and marketing of
farm crops will be discussed by the
National Marketing Committee at a
meeting next week in Charleston, 8. C.
The meeting is called by the chair
man, Duncan U Fletcher, Senator
from Florida, for the week of the
Southern Commercial Congress ses

The committee seeks to devise
means to enable the farmer to Xnow
the best manner, place and time to
market his crop, and also to enable
the consumer to distinguish between
the high cost of food and the high cost
of service.
Middleman the Gainer.
“The farmers of this country are
producing annually crops for which
they receive nine billions of dollars,
and for which the consumer pays
twenty-seven billions,” said Repre

“Wouldn't Have Missed Experi
' '
ence for Anything,” Says Miss
, Rosalind Bry.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.~~KEvery morn
ing for a week Miss Rosalind Bry, 20,
daughter of Nathan Bry, a wealthy
retired cloak manufacturer, rode to
Broadway and Locust street in her
father’s limousine, then got out and
walked (o Nugent's store, arediving
there in time to begin her work as a
salesgirl in the shirtwaist department
at 8 o'clock,
It was her adventure in business
life, She bhad said she could “make
8ood” as a shopgirl, and friends had
said she couldn’'t. She went to the
Store, giving the name of Gladys Rae,
and got a place as a beginner, at $6 a
week.
So far as she Knows, no one at the
store learned who she was. As proof
that she did “make good.” she exhib
its her “second week” card, entitling
her to return to work, and thus certi
fying that her first week's work was
satisfactory.
She will not go back to work, but
she will have a new understanding of
business life and a greater respect and
consideration for those who wait on
her at store counters.
Shopgirls Not Bad as Painted.
Miss Bry says she did not have any
profound sociological study in view
when she undertook her week's work,
but that she kept her eyes open, and
that she found salesgirls not at all the
gum-chewing, slang-slinging lot that
they have been represented in some
popular short stories. They compare
most favorably with some of their
customers, she declares.
Most of the slang she heard in the
store came from the other side of the
counter, Miss Bry asserts. The girls,
she savs, were in nearly all cases
careful in their language, not only in
speaking to customers, but in address.-
ing each other
She also found the girls friendly
and helpful. Those working near her
did everything that she could have de.
sired to show her as to her duties and
to encourage her. The first two davs
she became very tired of standing up,
but the others assured her that she
would gef used to being on her feet all
day, and she did
While she thinks she kept her iden
tity secret from the other giris, she
could not keep the fact of her employ
ment wholly from her friends, a num
‘ler of whom saw her while they were
shopping. She talked over the couns
ter with some of these friends, who
entered into the spirit of her adven
ture and did not stay long enough to
make the other girls suspicious
Couldn’t Trust Some.
Some acquaintances, whose discre
g!lnn she could not trust, she “saw
first” and avoided, by turning her back
to the counter and busving herself
with the stock
Bhe found it hard to rise in time to
get to work at 3, and to save time she
| took the family limousine, but never
rode all the way to the store in it, lest
her secret should be disclosed She
also spent a little more on her daily
’lum‘hes than most of her associates in
the store did. She wore a blue serge
sult, with plain white silk shirtwaist,
while at work. Her number as an em
ployee was “07."”
“I wouldn’t for anything have miss
ed meeting all those fine girls behind
the counter,” gavs Miss Bry
“Just think! While I have been
planning new frocks and going to
aances those dandy girls have been
working away down there and 1 never
knew the existed And in the short
week | was there | grew genuinely
fond of them, and I do not intend to
let the friendship drop, either

Breaks’ .Bad Mounts After Men
Have Sold Them as Too Dan
* gerous to Ride.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4—ln a
field near Swarthmore College a girl
who is belleved to be the only woman
horsebreaker in the world goes quiet
ly about her daily business of taking
the temper out of half-wild equines.
No one ig there to see, but it is a
show that has all the exciting fea
tures. of a broncho exhibition, with
the added interest that the “buster”
Is a slender little woman, |
Miss Betty Brown, the woman
)
horsebreaker, says she took up the
business becauss she knew little
about anything but horses. For two
years Miss Brown was a trainer for a
New York firm
Besides taking unbroken horses
belonging to dealers -and training
them for saddle or harness, Miss
Brown buys ill-tempered animals on
her own account, and by special
treatment makes them fit for a child
to ride.
How She Cures Horses.
“There is usually a reason for a
horse being vicious,” she said I'rum!
her seat, cross-saddle on a splendid
thoroughbred
“Take the case of this mare I
bought her for a song because her
owner could do nothing with her. 1
traced her history and found she had
been attached to a racing stable,
where a lot of half-grown boys used
her for joy rides around the track.
The consequence was that a good
mare wes almost hopelessly spoiled
by a lot of frolicsome young fellows
who would yank hep out of the stable
at all hours, pull her around, swear
al her, kick and beat her and ride her
with or without a saddle at the fast
est gait they could get out of her.
Naturally, the mare became pos
sessed of the idea that all men were
born enemieg and every «<chance she
got she tried to protect herself or get
even with her tormentors. They re
plied in kind, and the last gleam of
good-natured intelligence soon was
beaten out of her *
Work Is Dangerous.
“The fact is, she is a splendid mare,
and if I can but bring back her origi
nal sweetness of temper and undo the
havoc done by that pack of boys I
shall be able to sell her for SI,OOO
easily If 1 can not do this she will
still be worth more than 1 gave for
her. She is quite untrustworthy now,
cand it will be a long fight to bring
- her around, but I think I shall win
‘ “It's interesting work I vary it by
teaching riding, but 1 like horse
breaking best There is a certain
amount of risk about it, but I have
never been hurt My 'natural quick
ness has saved me at critical times.”

Value of Honey and Wax Crops
Reaches $25,000,000 a Year -

SKATTLE, WASH, Dec. 4.—The
beehive s a perfect socialistic state,
where all work and share alike and
control in common the means of pro
duction and distribution. Professor
Trevor Kincaid, of the department of
zoology at the University of Wash
ington, told his audience in the week
ly science lectures.
He described the organization of
the hive, in which the sterile female,
or worker, is during her development
nursemaid, housemaid and provider
for the family, while the drone and
queen live as aristocrats.
“The bee Industry in Western
Washington will expand with the de
velopment of gardening and fruit
growing,” sald Professor Kincaid.
“Comparatively little land 1s culti
vated in this section at present, and
there are too few nectar-producing
plants. Basswood and the clovers, if
planted in the vicinity, would make
the industry more profitable.”
The value of the honey and wax
crop reaches in the United States
$25,000,000 a year, he explained, so
that from an economic standpoint the
insect ig of great interest. The bee
appears in literature, from that of the
Greeks to the dpresent day writinge,
and voluminous works have been
written about it. From the biological
standpolint it is also of great interest
on account of its special adaptations.
Professor Kincaid illustrated with
stereopticon slides the general struc
ture of the pee, showing the extraor
dinary organs of sight and smell, by
which he distinguishes the honey-con
taining flowers at a great distance,
and the wings and sting which ‘fit
him especially for flight and warfare.
“The bees are far ahead of the
U'nited tSates in ‘preparedness.’” said
Profeccor Kincaid “Every worker
Is a soldier, and must be ready to
defend the community against ene
mies, such as beetlegs and moths. Sav
eral must stand guard near the en
trance. Others look after the safety
of the queen and do scout duty when
the hive is about to swarm. The
workers have no hesitancy in exe
cuting their brothers, the drones,
when it is necessary.”
The queen lays about 3,000 eggs a
day, and in her lifetime more than a
million, but when the food supply is
| not adequate for the population, un
' der the operation of the Malthusian
| doctrine, the queen stops laying.

methods of handling, the lecturer otit
