by his sister, i.Mlsa tfady llayden, returned to

woro Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, iAIox
ndrla, Naples, Home, i.Monte Carlo, Nice, (io
lioa and many other historic spots. Tho
voyage was accomplished without accident
nnd was thoroughly enjoyed.
"It was my first voyugo abroad," said Mr.
llayden, "nnd It goes without saying that I
mado tho most of the opportunities It af
forded nut for observation nnd sightseeing.
1 had long looked forward to a visit to Ath
ens. In short, Athens may bo regarded as
tho objective olnt of my tour, and what I
caw there fully Justified earlier anticipations.

tending to modernize Athens serves only to

continue until the last vestige of ancient

Athens hns broad strcots, handsome hotels,
substantial stores and shops and long rows
to two-story white cottages surrounded by
well kept gardens.
"Wo visited first tho grand Placo du Palais

Is now the grandest ruin of tho world. Those
lofty half-transparent marble columns look
llfio ghostly sentlnols guarding the treasures
of a vanished age. In tho soft moonlight the

with evidence Indisputable and compel us to
concludo thnt these marvelous ruins, splen
did as they are, are only fitting 'types of tho
hopeless ruin of that lll-fatrii race.
"Of course, you will understand that what
I hnvo said regarding the population of
Athens Is by way of comparison with that
of another era, nnd is not Intended as a
rellectlon upon tho prewent populace. In
fact, while abroad we did not meet their
equal in respect to hospitality, and 1 am
glad to say that Athens nnd Greece nro
again coming to tho front. Tho Athens of
today Is n well built, well kept city, with
new buildings in courso of construction In
evory direction, nnd all of substantial stone
work. Tho uniform cream-whlto buildings,
with utreots clean nnd paved with stone of
the same color, helped to mako ono of the
most attractive' cities which It wns our
pleasuro to see. On .board the vessel on
which wo took passago there was not ono
passenger who did not express a kindly
feollng and predict n bright future for
Uhens nnd her honest, Industrious and
nappy people.
"With a small party of Aniorlcana wo
visited the palace of the king nnd queen.
Hoth theso royal personages wore absent,
but we found the attendants very polite,
nnd as they seemed anxious to show us
through tho palace, wo were pleased to
comply. The king wns met by bouio of tho
Americans, who say they found him very
democratic. Ilo comes in contact with tho
people every day and they all respect and
honor him.
"What a contrast he presents with tho
sultan of Turkey, whose palnce Is a prison,
guarded by from three to five regiments
ot soldiers! So fearful is he of poisoning
thnt, before tasting a dhh, ho hns his
mother and doctor eat of It, and then pro
ceeds with his repast only after noting its
effects upon them. Ho is almost afraid to
breath the air lest it be fraught with danger
to his person."

WOODMAN, SPARE THE TREE'

in Iimwi I'uiiKri'KHiuiin,
OMAHA, April 5. To tho Editor of Tho
Uco: In your Washington Items of today
(Thursday) appears this: "l.acey of lowi
today Introduced a bill authorizing tho sale
nnd use of timber on unappropriated and
unreserved public lands."
Will you kindly say what great combina
tion of circumstances mUtit exist to suggest
to n congressman from ti purely agricultural
state such a measure. I am quite well
aware of tho fact that an Iowa congressman
can Introduco bills us beneficial to the man
ufacturing interests ot Omaha as to the farm
Industry of Iowa. But timber on public
lands there's none in the middle west south
of central Wisconsin. .Minnesota and Mich
igan until you got "way down south." To
u man up a tree It looks like some of these
millionaire lumbermen might father such a
bill and getting it Introduced through a
congressman from a strictly agricultural sec
tion it would appear to bo of boneflt to tho
dear public.
Granting that such n bill should pass, who
'but these millionaire lumbermen could buy
or mako uso of timber "on unreserved pub
lic lands?"
Tho cry of Omaha is for more trees; the
cry of thousands elsewhere Is: "Woodman
(Uncle Sam) spare tho tree."

When Maria Hutzlnpcv, a charming Omaha
girl, becamo the brldo o; Valentine Schramm
in July, 1S!S. nnd went with him to live a
llfo of independent contentment on his 400
acre farm In Sarpy county, her friends de
clared tho had mado tho mcst likely "cath"
of tho season. Maria's beauty and accom
plishments wera her fortune, for sho wns
not blesficd with worldly wealth. Hut what
mattered that, for the gallant Vnlentlno was
rich In land, cash and stock. Ho was her
ideal of a country gentleman. To Maria
thero was homcthlng romantic about her
marriage.
Now, the sequel to this apparently happy
mntlng has como In dlvorco court. A peti
tion was filed Saturday afternoon, In which
tho wlfo Is plaintiff. The allegations con
tained therein are many nnd sensational.
When Mrs. Schramm left her home, clrclo
in Omaha and wont to live on a farm In
Saipy county nho was Impressed with tho
bollef, bo nho Intimates in her petition, that
llfo would bo one endless round of pleasuro
that as tho wife of a wealthy farmer sho
would havo naught to do but carol with tho
blrdu, bask In the golden sunlight of tho I
meadows, scent the now-mown liny and whllo
nway summer nftemoons with honk and i
line along tho fern-festooned brooks that
wind their way through Sarpy county'H tyl-
i van glades. Such a life was rich in promise
absolute realization of somo of tho pretty
Idyls Mnrla had read in story books.
Proves tn lie IIoIIimv Mockery.
According to Mrs. Schramm's petition she
found soon after her arrival at the big farm
bouso on tho Schramm homestead In Sarpy
county that bIip wan expected to llvo with
tho parents of her husband, instead of
being tho sole mlstrcus of tho vlne-clsd
cottago sho bad seen In her golden vIslonB.
nnv man umcovereu Homownai nnrupuy, sno
declares, that sho was expected to nciilst
her mothor-ln-Inw In doing the household
work for that big farm house. Sho cots
forth that In order to keep tho 100-acre
farm going her husband and his father om
ploycd a large force of hired men. Thiao
men wcro "hearty feedorn" and thero w.is
much cooking to do. Thero wcro chickens
to feed, cown to milk, Inundry work to do,
water to carry fiom an old-fashioned well
nnd a thousand ami one other duties which
nro surprising to a woman who has not
been reared on a farm. In her petition Mrs.
Schramm designates this kind of work as
"farm chores."
it Ih further related In thu petition that
when tho potlttoner wns a bride of thr'o
monthn her mother-in-law died, and from
that tlmo she was compelled to do all tho
household work, including an immense
amount of washing and Ironing. She do
elanu that sho pleaded with her' husban I
to furnish help, but that he turned a deaf
ear to such appeals. She also charges that
ho appeared to care moro for the progrcm
of his farm business than ho did about
making her happy and that In many wajs
her llfn was Intermingled with a sorloa of
mlserlm. Sho asserts that tho drudgery
nho was forced to do mado serious inroads
upon her vitality and that she was moro
like a "bound girl" slaving her llfo uway
than tho mistress of the homestead that
crowned tho broad acres owned by hor hus
band. Piilhcr-lti-Liiiv t.'etn Uny.
Continuing, Mrs. Schramm recites that
her fnther-ln-law took no nctlvo part In the
farm work, and that ho remained nbout tho
house the greater part of the time. She
mentions his whiskers In such manner as
to warrant tho presumption thnt his hirsute
adorment Is something l'efferlan, nnd sho
declares that he frequently commanded her
to kiss him on tho lips. This was dlstasto
ful tn the young city bride, nnd she de
murred with nil tho vehemence of outraged
femininity. Sho alleges that bhe frequently
Informed her husband of his father's ac
tions and that he usually replied:
"That won't hurt you keep on the good
sldo of him. nnd innybo he'll give mo nn
other farm."
(letting down Into details, tho petitioner
relates an In-ldent In which tho elder
Schramm Is alleged to havo partly dlvtoted
himself of raiment, after which he com
manded his son's wlfo to bring him his
pipe nnd tobacco.
Another charge against tho futhcr-ln-lnw
Is that he had a habit of meddling In cull
nary affairs. It Is alleged that ho found
great delight In lifting tho lids from pots
nnd kettles nnd tasting tho food contained
therein while It was undergoing the cooking
process. Objection wns urged to this, so
the petitioner relates, ibecause the old man
would allow tho broth or whatever the pot
happened to contain to trickle down his
unkempt whiskers nnd dribble back Into
the cooking receptacle. He also looked upon
every room lu the house ns a cuspidor, It
Is hinted, nnd was no respector of places
to be used for expectoration.
Her NcrCM Are Wrecked.
All of this and a lot moro Is told In the
petition. Last September affairs had reached
such a crisis tbal Mrs. Schramm left her
Sarpy county husband nnd returned to tho
home of hor parents lu Omaha. Several
times prior to leaving she hnd swooned from
nervous prostration, she alleges, nnd when
she reached Omaha she was sent to a hos
pital. Her husband visited her there nnd
asked her how much money sho would tnko
to remain permanently nway from him, so
sho tells In her application for divorce. To
this query she declares sho replied that
she felt as though death would remove her
and that then be need not pay her nuy
thing. Hecoverlng from her illness, Mrs.
Schramm returned to tho pnrentnl homo
and Is still there broken In spirit ami
health and with prldo crushed, she declares.
In tho concluding section of tho petition,
tho unhappy wife asks for absolute divorce,
restoration of her maiden name, $500 tem
porary nltmony and Biich permnnent financial
lntero3ts as thoi court may deem proper,
considering tho 'wealth of tint defendant
husband.

Well Knovrn I.eetnrer Describe Some
of Ills KxiierleneeM In the
Island,
A graphic description of Cuba and Cuban
affairs prior to, during and subsequent to
tho Hlspnno-Amcrlcan war, delivered hy
Oeorgo Kennan, a travoler and lecturer of
natlonnl repute, nt tho First Congregational
church Saturdny night, was enjoyed by an
interested audience of listeners. Mr. Ken
nan presented numerous scenes and Incidents
which camo under his obsorvatlon during
several months spent In Cuba In a highly en
tertaining nnd Instructive manner.
The trlbuto paid tho 'American soldiers
who participated In tbo campaign In Cuba
was ono of tho particularly pleasing features
of his address. Mr. Kennnn assisted in
eating for the largo number of wounded
soldiers in tho battle of .151 Canoy and tho
misery nnd aufforlng described by him wero
horrifying in the extreme.
"A moro splendid, uncomplaining fortltudo
and heroic self-control than that displayed
by our American soldiers on Cuban soli tho
world has never known," ho said.
Ho compared his visit to Santiago on the
day of tho surrender of that city with a
visit lu December following and found on the
latter visit Instead of n dirty, neglected city
full of vllo odors and foul rcfuso a new
Santiago, rid of all its objccttonnblo fea
tures. "August 12," he said, "Santiago was
a sinkhole of foul corruption. December 10
It was as clean ns the cleanest American
city, thanks to the Influence nnd changes
wrought under direction of General Leonard
Wood."
Mr. Kennan described most entertainingly
nn exploration he mado into the Interior of
Cuba. Ho spoko of tho perils encountered
on tho Journey because of tho precipitous
mountain passes and the nlmost Impenetrable
Junglo of luxuriant vegetation. "Tho extra
ordlnnry beauty of the flowers and tho won
derful grandeur of thn sccnory." ho con
tinued, "present such a landscape that tho
most expert word painter must needs Iny
down his dictionary and say as did Columbus
centuries ngo, 'It is tho most beautiful land
scape ever beheld by human eyes.' "
Among other Interesting conditions ex-'
latent In Cuba Mr. Konnnn mentioned tho
religious nnd burial ceremonies. He de
scribed n religious service lio attended one
Sunday morning. It lasted threo-qunrtors
of an hour nnd thero was nn attendance of
soventy-flvo women and phlldren ami fifteen
men. At tho conclusion or tho ceremony
the communicants adjourned to the home
of the priest and nil Indulged In a dance
and convivial tlmo. lasting for eleven nnd
one-half hours. Tho Cubans, he said, iinvo
no religion nnd thoy cannot danco with any
grace or symmetry of motion whatever.
In speaking of traits noticeable in tho
Cuban ns an Individual ho stated that they
nn n nice aro absolutely temperate In the
uso of Intoxicating liquors. All Cubans
drink, but never to excess, and the sight of a
drunken man is unusual. Their greatest
falling In character Is an absolute untrust
worthlnoss of word and deed.
