" Express" Correspondent. / NEW YORK, August 27. A courtship which, according to the pricipals, began 5,000 years ago on the banks of the Nile, culminated to-day in the St. Louis divorce court, when Mrs. R. C. Ott brought a suit for a. divorce from her husband and the custody of their two. children. Mr. and Mrs. Ott both believe in reincarnation, an<l they declare that their shattered romance had its inception in a former existence when both Avero Egyptians. Mr. Ott is an artist, and his wife was an artist's model when ho married her in 1910, after his return from Egypt, where he went for local colour to reproduce Egyptian architecture for a wealthy-.'patron. ,«, Mr. Ott declares that he had strange dreams in Egypt, and that when after his return he met his future wife, ho knew her immediately as Princess Amneris, Pharaoh's daughter, who was his love 5,000 years ago. v "We first met," he says, "during our previous incarnation -in the Queen s Chamber of the great pyramid. "Then we used to meet in the palace gardens, and wend our. way to the Nile, where she loved to throw sweetmeats to the sacred crocodiles. I recall the great., tragic nights when.. Pharaoh discovered.^ us. /There were torches and guards,*' and I was seized. FEEDING CROCODILES. w After that my impressions are hazy. I recall wandering through sandy wastes with strange people, and that is all. . "My wife has the same face, same figure, and manner as Princess Amneris. When I saw her I was transported back to : ancient Egypt, when we first were lovers." •■■:•■,. j "'■•■• Mrs. Ott, at the time of their marriage, was also convinced that .their romance dated 1 bade'fire" thousand years. "I remember how we went to the river together and fed the crocodiles,"' she said. "I remember our first meeting in the pyramid. I had accompanied my- father on a tour of inspection:, and' looking into the Queen's Chamber I saw the handsomest man in the world. "We fell in love at once. That evening he came into the royal gardens, and our love, which lasted through centuries, began. " I have beautiful recollections of nights in the royal barge, and I vividly recall my father's anger when we were discovered together. ?It must have been Isis, Egypt's great goddess, who watched over us all these centuries, and finally brought us together." ■ Mrs. Ott now ■alleges-that her reincarnated husband, soon after their twentieth century wedding, began to throw crockery at her, and became insanely jealou3, often insulting her in the presenco of guests. She wants the five-thousand-year-old romance terminated. A woman judge has been, appointed as assistant judge of the Juvemie Court at .Illinois, U.S.A. She will try only gixls and women, and as she has been for some years a lawyer, and what is known as Public Guardian of Cook Country, the new judge should surely be the right womanjn a woman's place. HOW RHEUMO CURED CAPTAIN JOHN GIBBS. RHEUMO affords permanent relief from Rheumatism, Gout, Soiatica, or Lumbago. It has cured hundreds of others, and if you suffer from these complaints will just as surely cure you. RHEUMO neutralises and expels from the blood the cause1 -of the excruciating j agony —the excess uric acid. Read the experience of Captain John Gibbs, the popular skipper, lately of Auckland. He writes: " I was incapacitated for eight months and could not go to sea. In fact, I was bent double with pain. I tried Rotorua for thVco months, and came back to Auckland not having received any benefit. Nothing seemed to do mo good until a frfcmri of nrine, who had lalso taken RHEUMO. asked me to give it a trial. I did so, and after taking four bottles, the result surprised both myself and friends who knew how I had suffered. I always recommend RHEUMO to anyone who suffers with Rheumatism or Gout." RHEUMO is sold by a,ll chemists and storekeepers a.t 2b 6d and 4s 6d. FASHIONABLE BAGS. I Tjhelatest novelties-in Cord Bags, ! Collins, Ltd. j
