MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
The queBtlon of divorce could be
•olved If tho more Important ques-
tion of marriage were properly settled
first. There would be as few divorces
In the United States as there are In
Europe If the same safeguards which
protect marriage In the older coun-
tries were thrown around marriage
In this country. A uniform marriage
law Is more needed In the United
States than a uniform divorce law.
It la the essential preliminary to any
effective handling of the divorce prob-
lem. Divorces In this country would
be reduced In number by two-thirds
if, as 1s the law In England, no mar-
riage could take place until the banns
have been published for throe weeks
—If no girl could marry without her
parent*' consent until she was twen-
ty-one years old. The causes allowed
for the granting of divorce In Illinois
are all reasonable, says the Chicago
Tribune. Incurable Insanity should
be a cause for divorce. Certain dis-
eases should be sufficient cause, as
well as Incurable diseases concealed
aefore marriatfu The English divorce
commission has recommended the rec-
sgnltlon of these three causes. If the
Illinois commission on uniform di-
vorce and marriage laws will take the
Divorce Heast by the horns and not by
the tall there will be a much better
chance of mitigating the divorce evil.
It Is natural that a people as scrup-
ulously regardful of their attire as the
Parisians should be the first to set
themselves seriously to the solution
of the problem of preventing the be-
spattering of pedestrians by automo-
biles. Flying mud mixed with motor
oil makes a stain that never comes
off. A series of experiments has been
held at Versailles to determine the
comparative value of different devices
Intended to act as mudguards for the
protection of people walking in the
streets as well as of the occupants
of the automobiles to which they are
attached. Tho world at large Is con-
cerned in the result of these experi-
ments, for undoubtedly when the most
fffectlve mudguard Is discovered and
demonstrated It will come tnto use
throughout the world at large.
A New York hotel, one of the promi-
nent ones of that city, has a scheme
which it has Just put In operation by
which It hopes to solve the tipping
guestlon, The management has de-
cided to make a reduction of 10 per
cent on all checks of more than 50
. cents, a reduction supposedly e^uiva-
' lent to ths average tip. This act will
relieve guests of the necessity of pay-
ing twice for service. This probably
ls"the best scheme yet presented as a
solution to the tipping evil. It Is
sane, and while assuming that a ma-
1 Jorlty of guests would resent a request
( not to tip waiters and recognizing that
It would be an Impossibility to en-
force an order to prevent waiters
from accepting tips, the management
has taken the dignified way out of the
difficulty.

COCKNEY-K'O-TOES
A I rue laleof the Arcii
Hi
Cassius Griffith
HE whalers have al-
ways railed him Cock-
ney. The Eskimos of
the north Alaskan coast
call him "No-Toes," be-
cause as a matter of fact
he has no toes.
Cockney would some-
times tell grim tales of
whaling or of tho deeds
of heroism and bravery of his com-
rades—not as real deeds of valor, but
as ordinary occurrences of the great
north and in the manner which the
men of the north have of telling of
such happenings—but when one re-
ferred to any part that he took In
these adventures, he would suddenly
become quiet, and unless you Imme-
diately launched on another subject,
would unceremoniously take his leave,
to pace up and down tho whaler deck
with Antone the harpooner.
He was much averse to talking of
himself, and, though you might glance
Inquiringly at the stumps of hiB feet,
which had been taken off at the in-
step, and vaguely wonder over the
marvelous trip this little fellow scarce-
ly five feet tail had made when he
saved tho ship and lost these parts,
not a word would ever fall from his
lips which would lead you to knpw of
the terrible suffering he endured on
that occasion. Yet every whaler of
the nehrlng and Arctic knows the
story.
I had the story from several with
variations.
The Ice completely blocked the neh-
rlng straits and the blows foretelling
the winter storms were piling the
floes one upon the other. The whaler
captain was spending his most anx-
ious moments, as falling to break
through that 62 mile barrier which
separates two great continents means
that the winter must be spent within
the frigid confines of the dread Arc-
tic, and that meant something which
even the Iron heart of a whaler did
not care to contemplate.
The Norwhal had her nose over the
stretch of the wind-swept distance and
failed to find a lead which would mean
the return to civilization. Short of
food, having provisioned for one year
only, the captain faced a winter preg-
nant with ominous hardships and per-
ils. To escape the driving floes in the
Ar«Wlc, thiT'caflHaln threshed the old
whaler back over the yet clear water
and made eastward to the mouth of
the McKenzle river where he could
go Into winter quarters at Hersclrel
island.
And thes*- began the winter which
tore the souls from men; made beasts
of bravo men and heroeB of cowards;
which tore down the barriers of disci-
pline and officialdom and made fore-
castle and cabin one.
The food was nearly gone when the
preparations for winter were com-
pleted, and the rations were cut to
quarter. Even on that, the captain
figured It would last but a few weeks.
The time fast approached when the
food would reach Its end. The captain
turned this dread fact over In his mind
and he thought of caribou on the main-
land to the eastward. The almost use-
lessnrss of attempting to obtain this
was too evident to him, but this could
be the only means of surviving until
spring and the return cf the sun. But
that was miles away over trallless Ice
and he had obtained but Ave dogs
from the Eskimos. Those he had In-
tended to use as food at the last
moment.
The day came when the captain list-
ed the stores and found that, even on
biscuits and salt beef, there was but
enough for two weeks.
Then Cockney, who had been think-
ing of the hldoousness of starvation,
left his bunk in the forepeak and
fought his way over the clogged decks
aft to the captain's cabin. He had
wintered In tho Arctic before, but
when the vessel was out for two or
more seasons and plentifully sup-
plied with food, and he knew the sur-
rounding country. He had hunted
the caribou, and knew where So
find them.
"Cap'n," eald the little man bluntly,
"I want to go for some caribou."
The whaler captain gravely survey-
ed him. It was Cockney's duty aboard
the ship to remain In the jrow's-nest
with the captain when the boatB were
out and signal at the sight of tho
whale. The captain thought of this
and the hardiness which Cockney bad
always shown.
"1 can take those five dogs and the
■led," Cockney began again as the
captain regarded him In silence," and
1 know that coast. All I want Is a
rifle and plenty of ammunition and
big Jim Hall out of the foe's')'. He's
the biggest man aboard the ship, and
I guess the 'strongest. We'll bring
back the meat."
The captain arose and placed a hand
on the shouldsr of the smaller man.
He paused for a moment and a new
light flared In his eyes.
"Cockney," he said slowly, a tre-
mor of emotion thrilling his voice, "if
there Is a man aboard the ship who
could do as you say, 1 oeileve it Is
you. You have my consent, though
1 would not order you to go. Fit
founeU put as you please, and take
' Hall, If he is willing to go. If you suc-
ceed, you will save the ship; if you
fall you will have died a nobler death
than we."
A little later Cockney and Jim Hall,
garbed In tho winter furs of the Es-
kimos, went over the side of the Nor-
whal into the darkness of the Arctic
night before the eyes of the entire
crew. Each man aboard uttered a
"goodby and good luck," as the two
figures, the five dogs and the empty
sled disappeared in the gloom toward
the far mainland over the cheerless
expanse.
Cockney turned his eyes to the heav-
ens wh^re the aurora flickered and
glowed In the silence. Now that he
contemplated it, standing amid the
desolate, cold waste, he had never no-
ticed it so beautiful—so cold. The
vast Ice fields spread out In their un-
ending mlleb and the hummock-peaks
Bhowetl specter-like In the pale flashes.
The penetrating, chill breath of the
expanse crept around him and stung
the upturned face. Cockney had Just
einergey from his sleeping bag. He
turned and his glance fell on the sled
loaded with the carcasses of eight car-
ibou. This Bent the thrill of encourage-
ment through him and awakened him
to action again. He kicked the sleep-
ing-bag which contained the great
body of Jim Hall.
"Come on, Jim," he shouted. "Come
on out o' there and let's be on. We
can't afford to sleep now—now that
we've got the meat and they're needin'
It bo bud. They're waltln' for us.
We've been gone 14 days today, and
they're about all In. Twenty miles
more an we're there."
From the bag came a sound like a
groan, but no movement. Cockney re-
peated the kicking, Increasing the
force. A sense of fear swept through
his brain.
"Cold? Cold?" muttered the big
man, almost inaudibly. "No, I'm not
cold. I'm Jes' gettin' comftable; Jes'
gettln' comf'table. Jes a few more min-
utes and I'll be with you."
As the slow, telltale words Issued
from the bag, Cockney grabbed a sled
rope-end. The fear In him increased.
Jim was beginning to numb. He had
slept the few hours of his sleep cold,
and the chill had begun to reach his
velnf. Cockney beat the bag heavily
with the rope-end.
"Jim, come on out o' there, boy.
What's matter with you, anyway?
You ain't goln' to let that thing get
you, are you? Get up and shake your-
self. Come and get your blood
started. You ain't goin' back on your
pal?"
Jim moved drowsily as the rope
beat up and down his body. He heard
and the cold-fear took possession of
him for a moment; the fear of the
cold-lethargy. He squirmed out of the
bag and made his feet.
"Keep movln' now, boy," cried
Coclyiey; "roll up that bag and put It
on the sled. Here, chew on this hunk
o' meat as we go along. Hang on to
the geo pole and we'll be off on the
run."
Cockney thrust a strip of caribou
meat into the hand of the big man,
and the dogs started at the crack of
his whip.
Over the uneven surface of the ice
the traveling taxed the energy of both
men and dogs.
Cockney kept up as even a pace as
the difficult Ice would allow and
trudged on, apparently unconscious of
the weariness which weighed down his
muscles. But the wavering gait of the
big man showed that the frost had en-
tered his legs and that the grueling
travel was telling. He clung to the
gee pole and when his head sagged
toward his breast he would catch
himself with quick upward Jerks. But
the head sank lower each time, and
with tho slow coming of the drowsy
weariness, thirst began to clutch at
his throat and the big man began to
think of satisfying It.
Cockney glanced back at the mo-
ment Hall reached for his second hand-
ful of snow. Hall looked him In tho
eye shamefacedly, but continued to
suck In the balance in his mitten.
Cockney fell back even with him
and lashed him with the dog-whip.
"Stop It, Jim!" he shouted. "Stop
It, you fool! If you want to reach
the ship, don't touch another pinch of
snow. The frost will get you sure if
you take it. Brace up, man! Don't
commence that kind of thing, now
when we're gettln' so close."
Jim gazed fixedly at the small man,
and In the wilding eyes Cockney read
what he dreaded to see. Jim was
getting numb again and was on the
verge of allowing his mind to wan-
der. The incessant strain on his over-
taxed muscles was telling. Cockney
continued to lash him with the dog-
whrlp and the big fellow stumbled aim-
lessly on, clinging with one desperate
hand to the gee pole.
Cockney kept the dogs straining In
the traces and divided his attention
between them and his companion. At
every sag of Hall's head he piled the
whip across the gaunt shoulders and
around the wavering legs. Once Jim
stooped again, muttering, to take ui>
more snow. Cockney struck hie chin
up with the whlp-atook. Jim laughed
like a boy who had been caught In pet-
ty mischief, and It Bent a chill through
Cockney.
Then tho strain began to tell on
Cockney. He found that the contiiv
ued lashing of his comrade to keep
him alive had weakened him.
The sled lurched suddenly and slid
deep into a hummock pit. Cockney
saved himself on the caribou meat.
Jim pitched forward and landed In a
heap off to the side, half burying him-
selp in the snow. He made no effort
to move, but lay laughing for a mo-
ment until the drowsiness ended the
Bound In a sigh. Cockney beat the
niasBive body until his Btrength gave
way and he tottered in his tracks. He
called in vain for the big fellow to
make an effort to arise, but Jim only
half laughed once, and the sleep of
the north took possession of him.
Cockney saw that it was too late,
and that he would not rise voluntarily
again.
After almost au hour of muscle-
racking toil, Cockney got the body of
his companion to the sled and lashed
it there. Then he took up the trail
again.
Hut now the mists had begun to
swim before his eyes end his leg mus-
cles to ache cruelly. He shouted to the
dogs for courage, and grasping the
geo pole, he pounded hiB feet over the
snow, as vigorously as the wjjrn ten-
dons would allow, to withstand the
creeping numbness. The dogs, as yet,
went strong, although the sled now
bore a heavier burden. Cockney was
convinced that it was his strength
which would tell the talo.
Over and over again he repeated to
himself:
"1 must do It! 1 must do It!"
The captain lay in his cabin. Weak-
ness had almoBt completely overcome
him, and he lay listless. Every day
ho had trained his glasses on the deso-
iat waste of the miles of ice for any
sig-:. of Cockney and Hall. Hut none
ha* been seen, and this was the four-
te^'ith day. Yet he had not given the
llt\ie fellow up. He hoped, and this
hope had caused him further to cut
the rations. From two pieces of hard
bread and an inch of salt beef a day
he cut it to ono biscuit and one bite of
the meat.
The men forward grumbled at this
and mutiny was whispered. Two of
them had been crazed with hunger
and seizing rifles, had gone over the
side on the ice where they had seen
the fleeing Arctic foxes. They did not
return, but remained the prey of
those same foxes where they fell of
exhaustion not far distant from the
ship.
The mate, Hunter, entered the cab-
In. He clung to the partition as he
stood over the captain. His emaci-
ated form bore no semblance of the
heavy man whose boat had struck five
whales during the preceding season.
"Captain," ho whispered hoarsely,
"the men forward have gone mad.
They are saying that we are keeping
the food from them; that we sent the
dogs away so that they could not
be eaten. They have lost all hope and
say that they want one square meal
before they die. They are coining aft
in a body to search the cabin lock-
ers."
Hunter finished his speech, and
clung more determinedly to the parti-
tion from exhaustion after the effort.
He stared at the captain with the wild,
glazing glance of a starving man. Yet
his mind had remained unaffected. He
and the captain and the other officers
bad allowed themselves the same food
as was allotted to the men forward.
The prostrate man made an effort
to rise, but fell back. Hunter a n1st-
e<i him at the second attempt, and he
painfully got to his feet.
"Get your rifle," he said, breath-
ing heavily.
Tho mate staggered out of bl cab
In and a few minute* later returned
dragging hi Winchester. The cap
tain bad possessed himself of his, and
sat on the cabliKcoach. The mat* poll-
ed himself over and sat with him.
"Where are the other officer*?" the
captain asked.
"Almost don« for," replied thu mate
"Boyle tried to talk to (feem/tmt they
fell on him. 1 think he' getn*> Th
others have very little life Ml"
"We must hold them, Hun'er. I be-
lieve Cockney will return. I know he
will. We'll talk to them. If they
won't listen, shoot!"
The two men then sat silent and
waited. From time to time dull sounds
came to them as If men were stum-
bling through tho passages. Then the
mutterings of crazed, straved humans.
The mutterings grew louder, and the
shuffling of slow, dragging feet be-
came distinct. A thud would tell that
a man had stumbled and fallen. Then
tho Bcrape and drag of the crawl-
ing.
The cabin door fell In with a
crash as the bodies lurched Rgalnst It.
The foremost hands sprawled over
the floor with hoarse, animal crie«. A
gaunt, heavy-boned Norwegian got to
his feet before the others. His eyea
stared wildly and the two on the
couch saw that he was quite mad.
This madness gave him strength,
though he wavered where h« stood.
© a> to.
He forgot his English, and muttered
broken sentences In hiB mother
tonvjie. Then he snarled like u wild
beu^Tt at the two, and uttered a fierc-
er menace, lurched toward them with
his thin hands upraised like enormous
claws. •
Tho mate raised his rifle a few
inches and fired. The lean figure
crumpled and slid to the floor.
The others of the foremast hands
pulled themselves upright. For the
most part they ware muttering. One
man began to speak, lie paused aft-
er every few words to regain his
strength.
"Cap'n, we're all goln' to die, an'
we know It. Cockney's gone—he
ain t coinin' back. We've watched two
weeks for him. He can't come back
alive. Give uh one good feed and l' t
us die on full stomachs—If w're golii',
we may as well have one good fe'.d
'fore we go." <
There was a burst of savagely * -
senting voices following this spee:h,
and the other throats took up the *:ry
of "Cive us the grub! • Give ub the
grub!"
The captain and the mate kept tl eir
rifles pointed toward the starved
mob. Hut they swayed menacit.gly
forward. She savage strain crept
through them nil like fire and those
in the rear stumbled heavily against
those of the inner circle and the crowd
lurched toward the couch. The captain
and the mate were covered by the
rolling bodies and the rifles were
swept from their hands.
The floor became a mass of arms
and legs and squirming bodies. They
moved slowly and painfully as if their
owners were drunken. They were
without purpose, however, and so
weak that little damage was doue. it
was an unreasoning, crazed, mutter-
ing pile of figures which had little ai>-
pearance of being human.
It was the barking of dogs and
shouts and cries which disentangled
this hunger-crazed lot of men. Hear
ing this, they were stilled. Even the
muttering-mad ceased to mouth inar
tlculate sounds. The captain and the
mate heard and they were the first
to their feet.
"It's Cockney and Hall!" some
hoarse voice announced feebly.
Then the hubbub of muttering be-
gan again, though in a wilder, differ-
ent strain. Barbaric laughs mingled
with frenzier cries. Every man crawl-
ed, pulled, pushed or stumbled to-
ward the passage which led to the
deck.
The captain and the mate, men of
stronger minds, had more control over
their emaciated bodies. They reached
the side arid peered over. The sled
lay against the side of the vessel,
piled with the carcasses of the cari-
bou. A great figure, frozen, was lash-
ed on the pole. Standing motionless at
the Gee pole was Cockney. His sight-
less eyes stared ahead and his frozen
lips were making an effort to form
words. He remained where the dogs
had stopped the sled. His mind had
gone long befcrre, and he knew not
that he had reached the ship. The
muscles long worn out, could not
move another inch.
One dog lay dead In the traces.
HIb body had been dragged by the oth-
ers over the last two miles of the
Journey. Another dog sniffed as
the halt wus made. Only one remain-
ed with his head up. That was tho
leader, who had followed the trail
without a guiding hand.
How the captain and the mate and
the others got Cockney and the meat
over the side of the boat th*y were
too frenzied to be able to remember
afterward.
Three days later Cockney cams
slowly to life In the captain's cabin.
As his eyes opened he muttered for a
moment. Four words were repeated
xeveral time*, vaguely, while his fact
lapsed Into cruel strain.
*1 must do It! I must do it!"
Whisky wa* forced betwoen th«
darkened Hps when the signs of re-
frimlrtK ilfe became evident. The cap-
tain and the mate had watched beside
the bnnk sines they recovered their
strength.
The*'- three men spokn po word to
iini another What wa* In the hearts
of alt each man knew. Hut the cap-
tain, strong as he was of heart and
nsed to perils and death, could not
check the tears when he uncovered
Cockney's feet and found them black.
He turned and walked away. The
mate, too, turned, filled with uncon-
trollable emotion. Cockney read It In
their faces and the numbness told hlrn
how far they were frozen.
But he smiled faintly and whis-
pered:
"Well, I'm glad I'm llvln' snyway."
The captain took the chloroform
from the medicine cheBt. The mate
administered It while the captain pre-
pared his crude Instruments.
Though deep under the Influence of
the drug, Cockney screamed when the
meat-saw (the only thing available)
severed the bones of his lnstop.
Whpn the bandages bad been suc-
cessfully placed and Cockney slept,
the others of the crew cam* In an

spectfully at the heroU llttl* form,

DINNER GUESTS GO HUNGRY
Aged Royal Host Slept and Stlquetto
Would Not Permit That He
Should Be Awakened.
Prince Leopold, the recently de-
eeusod legeut of llavarla, some weeks
before hiB fatal Illness fell asleep at
a dinner party immediately after the
first course. His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking him,
but continued their conversation in a
low tone The servants did not dare
to continue serving the dinner.
The prince soon commenced to
snore, and slept on for two hours, dur-
ing which .time no one allowed himself
to leave his place. The guests sat
famished in the same room with ti
marvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prinze Leopold awoke. He took a hur-
ried glance round the table and saw
only a number of perfectly correct
faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely un-
remarked, he said quietly, "Now let us
go and take coffee." The guests rose
accordingly and proceeded to the
drawing-room. They were sefved with
coffee, liqueurs, cigars. The prince,
thoroughly refreshed by his sleep, in-
dulged In a great deal of excellent con-
versation, which lasted till midnight.
The party then broke up, and tha
guests departed, famished with hun-
ger.
Alarmed for His Mother.
Little Harry, hanging about the
kitchen, saw a stuffed fowl sewed up
before roasting. He was much Im-
pressed by the sight. A few nights
later his mother, hastily dressing to
go out, found that a new frock had
been sent home without the proper al-
lowance of hooks and eyes. Summon-
ing aid, her sister basted the frock to-
gether up the back.
"Grandma," said Harry, seeking the
source of perennial sympathy and com-
prehension, "come nnd see what aun-
tie's doing to mamma. I think she's
going to roast her, for she's sewing
her all up."
How Long Will the Women Stand 'Em?
"I am a mean man," confessed the
Erratic Thinker. "My father bore the
same unenviable reputation, and I had
an uncle who eerved a term In tha pen-
itentiary and was twice mentioned for
the legislature. So no one need be sur-
prised when 1 remark that perusal of
the dry gooifb advertisements causes
me to wonder how soon torsets will
become so long that their wearers will
bo obliged to -roll them up around
the ankles to keep from treading on
them?"—Kansas City Star.

because they like an appreciative au-
dience.
