But Grace, she hates to have a fuss with her mother, so she went with her, and now Mrs. Wliey wont even let me call my own wife up on the Magistrate Sweetser turned toward Mrs. Wiley.

"How many honeymoons do you wish, madam?" he inquired sharply. 4 This is a serious case. It seems to the court that the young couple are entitled to honeymoon by themselves and that love's young dream should be permitted to flow uninterruptedly- as as long as it will- -without any one setting an alarm clock, as it Magistrate Sweetser sat in deep thought for a moment, and then called William Weir, a probation officer, to investigate the case, announcing that he would parole the bridegroom in his own custody until Saturday. Just one minute, said the court to Weir, as the probation officer and Frank and Mrs. Wiley were about to leave, "are you married?" "No, said the officer fervently.

"I'm afraid, went on the magistrate, I'll have to take this case away from you and give it to some officer who is- some one who will understand such So that is what Magistrate Sweetser is going to do. MORMONS DESIRE THEIR HOMES AGAIN Were Driven from Their Colony in Mexico by Villa--Mexicans Still Occupy Their Homes. DOUGLAS, Aug. of the several Mormons who were driven out colony at Colonia hundred. Morelos, 65 miles southeast of Douglas, Villa's army of invasion in 1916, are endeavoring to recover their homes from the Mexican squatters, who have usurped them.

About 10 Mormon familes still live in the colony but are not permitted to occupy their own brick houses. Mexican families are living in them and refuse to quit, proelaiming the doctrine of "Mexico for Mexicans." Many other Mormons, disheartened by their reverses, have begun life anew in the United States. Appeals have been made to the Mexican government by the Mormons without result. Recently the American state department asked the Mexican government to drive out the usurpers and restore their property to them. The colonists hope this effort will be successful.

Love there was no doubt that" something had happened, the rooms and cellars being filled with sulphurous fumes and smoke. At the latter place, Samuel H. Morse, who was near the telephone and was somewhat stunned for a moment, did not associate the occurance at first with the storm, but thought something near him had exploded. The condition of the room, however, told the story. All insulated wires in the house, including ground wire, were burned out, wall paper and insulators were blackened.

Kent Says She Would Not Allow Him to Hold His Wife's Hand REFUSES TO LET HIM TELEPHONE WIFE Young Automobile Broker of New York Tells Magistrate of His Diffculties When She Charged Him With Disorderly Conduct. NEW YORK, Aug.

R. Kent, who resides in 728 East Twelfth street- and who is doing well as an automobile broker although he is only 23 years old, never used to take any stock in the mother-in-law jokes he read in the funny papers, he assured Magistrate Sweetser in the West Side court yesterday. But during the last seven weeks-ever since he married Miss Grace Wiley, who is 19, pretty and hates a fuss- he has changed his mind. He doesn't care to state publicly, he told the court, what his feelings concerning mothersin-law actually are, because he is well versed in the law and isn't certain how many years imprisonment their revelation might entail. The young bridegroom appeared in court yesterday as a result of a charge of disorderly conduct made by Grace's mother, Mrs.

Margaret Wiley, 2612 Broadway, who said that Frank had threatened to disregard the summons after making other threats which had to do with bodily harm to herself and her family. Well, said Mr. Kent gloomily, "after Grace and I were married this woman (he inclined his head toward Mrs. Wiley) said she wanted to go along on the honeymoon to Lake Plaeid. I said 'no' but it wasn't any use, and she went anyhow.

Why, Judge, I couldn't even hold my wife's hand in the train going up, and we'd just been married! Just been married and Grace's mother wouldn't let me even hold her hand. After a while we came back to MASSASOIT AND OUR FIRST TREATY Statute to be Erected in Memory of Indian Who Kept Bond of Friendship with Early Settlers. The commonwealth of Massachusetts is preparing to celebrate the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims. They had crossed the ocean in a frail bark and turned perils of the sea to stormy, face the perils of an unknown land. The natives only 40 miles to the west of their landing place were known.

to "bear an inveterate malice to the English;" and the attitude of others was known only by the experience of earlier voyagers. The camp of an advance landing party had been attacked at Nauset (Eastham); and doubt. and misgiving pervaded the little settlement they had established at Plymouth. Great must have been their relief on March 16, 1621, when Samoset's greeting, "Welcome Englishmen," broke the startled air of Leyden street, and greater still when on March 22, Massasoit, great sachem of the Wampanoags, head of the tribe that bore "an inveterate malice to the English," appeared and manifested a willingness to sit in council with Governor Carver; and greatest of all when Massasoit and Carver put their signatures to the first American peace treaty. This treaty and the manner of its observance held within its four corners the fate of a nation; and for 40 years Massasoit faithfully fulfilled all the obligations assumed by him and for 14 years after his death, his sons, Wamsutta and Pometacon (or Metacomet), followed in his footsteps.

For 258 years, Massasoit has slept in an unmarked and unhonored grave, and the American people have been so unmindful of the value of his services to the infant colony at Plymouth and later those at Massachusetts Bay and in Rhode Island land Connecticut that they have erected no. memorial to perpetuate his fame. The Massasoit Memorial association has been incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts for the purpose of erecting a statue of Massasoit at Plymouth on the 1300th anniversary of the coming of the founders of the American nation and the American ideals. It desires to make this popular movement, to the end that this memorial may be the New World's to one of the greatest characters ever produced by the children of nature. Cyrus E.

His last illness, caused by a fall, was one of constant and intense pain from which he had little relief for six long weeks, but no word of impatience escaped him. His oft repeated prayer was: "Jesus help me. His was a family notable for longevity, no deaths having occurred in a family of five for over 50 years until some seven months ago a sister, Mrs. Ellis, of Somerville, passed away at the age of 86 and a few months later Mrs.
