But tbe husband Is required to firove endeavors on bis pan to inauce ner 10 ive with him after the separation, and that be did not remove from the State where she resided for tbe purpose of obtaining a divorce. Any resident of Michigan mav obtain a di vorce if the other party bas obtalaeda dlyorce uniiumer state.

Loots, Mo. TWO PERSIAN 0OY8. Tbey Have Coma to America to Learn tba Aw ot Glass-Making. Two peculiar characters strayed Into the Bethel Home at the foot of Olive street last week in tbe shape of a sturdy and heathy looking pair of lads from tbe 1 land of tbe Persians. They told their story to Chaplain George Cobb, whose sympathies they succeeded In enlisting, and unless his present plans turn wrong they will probably be put In a position to attain tba object of their mission to this country.

A Post-Dispatch reporter saw them at the "Home" Thursday morning and heard from them the story of their wanderings and trials. The names of the young fellows are Joseph Badel and Robert Yobanow, the former of whom Is 20 and tbe latter 21 years of age. Both of them speak English fairly well. Badel being the more accomplished of tbe two. Tbey hall from Oroomlas," Persia, and left borne Just six months ago.

The town from which they came is the center of the missionary labors of the celebrated Dr. Cochran of California, whom the natives of Oroomlas and vicinity regard, so Badel says. as a father to tbem all. These two boys became converted to Christianity through his efforts and learned to read and speak English In the mission school established at that place. Being of ambitious natures they took a notion Into tbelr heads that tbey would like to learn the art of manufacturing glass, with a view of introducing It Into their own country as one of its Industries.

At present all the glass used by the Persians Is Imported from Russia, and Dr. Cochran told the boys that by coming to America tbey could obtain employment in some glass factory here, learn the trade and, returning to their own country, establish a factory of their own. With the bope of realizing tls dream these boys managed to get together an amount of coin equal to something over $200 in our money and bidding adieu to tbelr parents, families and friends lett their native town and set out lor America. They first obtained the necessary passport which they still exhibit and which presents on Its face the appearance of being more ser viceable to a violin player man tue average English or American official. Badel read it In his native tongue to the re porter and It sounded like the beating of a small drum in a Salvation Army band.

if he does tbe same thing to the average consul, tbe chances are be will get througb the country all right. Armed with this formidable document these two young seekers after one of the lost arts of their country rode seven days on horseback until tbey reached the town of ZilDa. There being no railroads In Persia the natives estimate the distance from one place to another by so many days' riding. When asked where Oroomlas was, Yohanow re-plied, "Fifty days on horseback from Teheran," which was perfectly satisfactory information. From the town of Zllpa tbey rode seven days in a wagon until tbey reached Tlplls.

From there they went to Bartoum and thence by the Black Sea three days and nights to Odessa. Tbey remained nine days In Odessa, and going fiom there to Amsterdam took a German steamer for America and landed In New York. Then as Badel expressed It "we finished our money and had to learn bow to work." After doing all kinds of odd Jobs they went to Chicago, where they fell In with a young Persian friend, wbo Is studying In the seminary there to become a missionary among his own people. Through his Influence they secured employment with a farmer at Sweet Springs, wbo shipped tbem to Texas to work on clearing some land or bis In that section. They were there three months, and were Informed by friends that St.

Louis was the proper place for them to come to learn the glass making trade. And so the early part of the week they arrived htere a little sore over their past experience, but 6 till intent upon accomplishing tbe object for which they Journeyed from borne. Mr. G. H.
