HAS GRANTED 4,18H DIVORCES j
Arkansas Friend of Domestic Discon
tents May Run for Congress
Heber Springs, Ark., March 29.
Chancellor George T. Humphries, of this
district, during the last twelve years
of his official career has granted 4,186
divorces, 2,34 2 of thein to negroes. He
granted 50 in Heber Springs in one
■week.
His reputation as "a divorce Judge"
has so spread that almost daily he re
ceives letters from persons who have
grown tired of wedded bliss and wish
to become free once more, asking him
t'or advice as to what course they
should pursue Many tell him the main
reason for wanting a divorce is to get
married again. Of course, they have a
reason to put before the court.
He invariably grants a divorce to a
person who is honest enough to state
that he is desirous of trying another
leap into the dark. The Judge seems
to like to see fellows leap thus.
.ludge Humphries is now serving his
third term of six years each as Chan
cellor of thiß district, having been re
elected twice without opposition. He
is contemplating making the race for
Congress two years hence. He was
grand master of the Odd Fellows of

JAPANESE BAIT DIGGERS.
As Many Women ai Men Work at the
Disease Breeding Trade.
An extraordinary occupation that
many of the very poor follow In Japan
Is that of the osatori, or bait catcher,
who spends his days gathering angle
worms. We say "his," continues the
account In the Japan Magazine, but
the bait diggers are as often women as
men. The Japanese angleworm la not
taken from the soil, as Is the case In
occidental countries, but from the black
mud of the rivers and canals.
Tokyo Is a great place for this call
ing. The city has numerous stream*
and canals connected with tidewater,
and as soon as the tide begins to ebb
you can see women with their basket!
and their mud forks climbing down
the stone facings of the canals, plung
ing their legs into the deep mud and
picking up the wriggling red angle
worms that they dig out of the mud.
These worms are a somewhat differ
ent species from the earthworm. They
ar» slightly stouter, with jointed bod
ies and peculiar mustacbed months.
The receptacles for the captured worma
are baskets or tubs with covers that
contain small square openings through
which the women drop the worms ai
they pick them up. Aa soon as the
bait baskets or tuba are full the wo
men take them to the shop and sell
them. The bait shop deals In bait only,
and from these establishments the fish
ermen buy worms for their hooks.
The amount that the angleworm
catchers can make daily Is very small,
not more than 40 sen for each worker
but It helps out In the household ex
penses. In the summer weather th«
work Is not hard, although it Is cer
talnly hot, with the sun beating dowi
on the stooping form and reflected
from the wet mud and water. In tlx
colder weather, however, it is mor<
trying, for® the bait catcher has t<
stand for hours in the freezing mud.
Diseases thai are the result of theii
calling are frequent among the bafi
women,'especially beriberi aud dropsy
The Japanese regard bait digging ai
the most miserable way of getting I
living known to mortal man.
