Suffolk, Va.. Fob. 10..(Special).Somebody has changed her mind. Some¬body else Is glad. The lady who on yes¬terday employed counsel to prosecutea suit for divorce against her husbandwhile in a lit of anger, brought on byhaving caught him III what she thoughtwa3 a compromising position, to-daywithdrew all the proceedings. Now sheis satisfied she was mistaken in havingmade the charges. That is what heractions Indicate.

SORRY SHE DID IT.After reflection and after exhaustive

explanations from her spouse, in whichhe is placed In a most Innocent attitude,the lady has agreed to check all legalaction, performed and proposed, andthey will In future reside together.happily, It Is hoped.forgetting the pastand Its memories. There are some lit¬tle stipulations and agreements whichthey will follow, and then all will beweil.

SIIH WAS MAD.,i When the charges were made and thelady went to consult Mayor Brewerprior to retaining counsel she was angryto a degree. She talked with her mouthopen and made allegations and state*'monts which were riot in the nature of

! compliments framed for, parlor socials.Mayor Brewer took notes'and said little.

AFTER TUB EXPLANATION.To-day her passion had subsided. Sh?

had had matters and situations ex¬plained, and in addition to withdrawingoharges she wrote a letter addressed tothe Mayor and her attorney, ll ac¬knowledged a debt of apology. Here Iswhat she said:

"I think I owe an apology for yes¬terday's action. I have found outenough to know I was wrong. Hopingyon and all will excuse me. Yours re¬spectfully, MRS.-."

SAYS HE IS GUILTLESS.I saw the husband this afternoon in

his store. He says his wife was mis¬taken In her accusations. He knew shewas mad at the time, but did not thinkp.he would make a move to carry Intoexecution her threat for a divorce. Hewas surprised to learn that counsel hadbeen retained for that purpose. Nowhis wife understood the matter and badwithdrawn charges, lie was innocent.THOSE UNLUCKY BOARDERS.Two hoarders had caused the tem¬

porary disruption.a man and his wife,ho says. The gentleman runs a lodginghouse at his place of business, which Isr. block or so from the residence. Nightbefore last there wore two lodgers, oneof whom was a lady. Yesterday morn¬ing the proprietor's wife came downand made an accusation against herhusband. HO denied the charge andcalled on the male lodger to substantiatehim.

YOU LIE, SIH."Mr. Blank, is not that lady, who stay¬ed here last night, your wife?""She Is. She's my lawful wife. Whodoubt's It?""I do," shouted the proprietor's wife."I doubt It. You lie, sir, when you sayohe's your wire. And you".pointing toher husband."I will never live with youagain."The reader knows the rest. Shechanged her mind. Now an amicablesettlement has been made and troubles

are past.OLD ENOUGH TO DIE.

As loChildren and good children they havestopped keeping count more than twen¬ty years ago.THEY WERE BORN YOUNG.

To look at these gray-Haired, wrinkledvlsaged, ebony-hued denizens in theirprimitive abode a stranger might thinkthe memory of man too short to graspthe time when they had youth. But notso. Though it might be a little difficultto prove by living witnesses anythingabout their birth they are both said tohave 'been born young:The attorney who examined Blountsays he made a good deponent. His an¬swers were clear and concise. On elec¬tion day he walked eight miles to votetor McKinley and Wise.NEW MANAGEMENT IN FUTURE.If there is a Suffolk Fair this yearIt will be run under different manage¬ment.
