FERDY EARLE HAS A "MENTAL MATE"

Notorious New York Artist Continues Career as "Lady Killer." SUED BY FIRST AFFINITY WOMAN FOR WHOM HE DIVORCED WIFE AND IN TURN DESERTED ALLEGES NOW THAT THE MAN ilS UNBALANCED. (American News Service) New York, Sept. 1. Ferdinand Pinney Earle today is In Europe with Miss Gertrude Buell Dunn, his new "affinity," or "mental mate," as he calls her. Th two are traveling as brother and sister under assumed names, and their exact whereabouts are known only to Earle's most Intimate friends. Miss Dunn, a writer, artist and horsewoman, is only twenty-six years old and is the absolute opposite type of Earle's famous affinity, Julia Kuttnauer, who is suing to annul their marriage. The latter declares Earle 1b insane. "We are going to work out our destinies according to our ideals. We are determined never to marry," was the word Earle left with his friends before his departure. Miss Dunn Pretty. Miss Dunn is described by her friends as a remarkably pretty and attractive woman. Her mother lives in California, where the latest "soul mate" was' born. Miss Dunn came here about three years. ago, after figuring In a somewhat sensational episode at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where she was pictured as a member of Theodore Roosevelt's hunting party. Attired in a short skirt and riding astride a spirited horse, she wheeled Into line just behind the president s a photographer was snapping the party returning from a hunt in the spring of 1905. So incensed was Mr. Roosevelt that he issued what amounted to an executive order, through Secretary Loeb. that the plates should be destroyed or the girl's face eliminate from the prints. The order was obeyed, but not until a copy of the complete had been published by a Denver newspaper. At that time Miss Dunn was a correspondent for Denver and eastern newspapers. Soon afterward she went to Chicago where her brother, Ballard Dunn, is city editor of a Chicago newspaper. Later she came to New York to study art. Where She Met Him. It was while she was a house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Haag, at their country place at Silver Mine, on the outskirts of Norwalk, Conn., that she met Earle last spring. ' After three weeks he convinced Miss Dunn that he and she were soul mates, the exact complements of each other. Before Miss Dunn left Norwalk she had received an invitation from Earle to visit him at his Castle-like home, and up to the final clang of the gong, was forcing the Issue for all he was worth. Tola Was In France. An American millionaire while driving an automobile in France ran ovc. and killed a dog. Near the scene of the accident was a peasant, presumably owner of the dog. To him the millionaire gave a bank note. Bui the peasant was not the owner of the dog, and he was honest, but before he could make up his mind to return the money the automobile and its driver were beyond recall. ' None the less, the peasant would not keep the bill, and when the automobilist rode past that place some months later be discovered the dog's skeleton at the side of the road with the bank note attached to it and a penciled line calling attention to the mistake. ' How Slavea Treated Rbeamatlam. Every colored man of the old slavery days understood the treatment of rheumatism often better than the most skilled medical graduate. The colored people are peculiarly subject to rheumatism and learned to treat it themsel res with great success. The system that. they employed was that of mechanical manipulation and consisted of nibbing, pummeling and pressure either with the hand or by means of a compress. If one method did not answer, they tried another and in one of the three were almost certain to secure relief and by persistent use a pcrmament cure. The Bear and the Cbtek. An egg weighs about two ounces, of which fifty grains compose the shell. The chick from the egg will weigh from an ounce to an ounce and a half. When six months old the clear meat Is one-third more than the bone. Yet cases are known where the weight of the ohick has been nearly as great as that of the egg, less the shell, when the egg. was put under the hen. A chick should gain three ounces a week after the sixth week if well fed. Marie Twala'a Definition. It is told of Mark Twain that during S conversation with a young lady of his acquaintance he had occasion to mention the word dry dock. "What Is a dry dock, Mr. Clemens?" she asked. A thirsty physician," replied the huraorist. Boston Herald. Important Point For Johnny. ' Johnny Don't they use bark to tan bides with, pa? Father Yes, my son. But if you ask any more questions this evening you'll find that a slipper does Ju. n well. GIRLS WANTED. Wanted Two experienced girls at the Eldorado Laundry, 13 N. 9th.
