WEDDING GLQVE FOR BRIDE
? ,i |
Third Finger l? Loft Unetltohed 80
That the Ring Can Be Slipped
. A happy era has dawned for the
"bride at tb?? fateful moment when the
rln# is abo t to he jplaced On her fin
ger,
Instead of the usual struggle to re?
move her left hand glove she will
now be able to uncover the thlrg lin
ger without effort and without lowing
her composure.
This delightful rerfult 1m to be ob
talned by ??n 'Ingenious "wedding
glove" device. The Inside seam on
the third finger of the left glove is un
Htitfihed, mo that all that the bride
need do is to slip hor finger through
the slit to receive tho ring. The ttn
ger eon JuhI ue easily be slipped back
Into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appro
elated not only by the bride, but also
by hbe nervous bridegroom.
The story of the origin of the wed
ding glove has come to light. Some*
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm in the hunting field asked for a
single wedding glove.
Sho remarked on the awkwardness
of having to remove her glove with
the help of her teeth, and It wu? then
Keen that mutters would be greutjy
facilitated for the bride If sho pniy
hud to uncover the ring finger.
The experiment was so succosoful
that It urousod the interest of other
prospective brides, who saw In It uk
boon which would save them from
the usual dirtlcultles of removing a
whole glove in the moment when the
ring 1b about to be put on. ? Exchange.
HIS SPEECH WAS GREAT HIT
, Pumperton Thought It Was His Wit,
But His Wife Discovered the
Reason,
It was late before Pumporton got
homo, but his wife waa Btlll sitting up
for him. "Well, John," she greeted him,'
"how waa the dinner? And how waa
your speech received?"
Pumperton took off ^la coat, smil
ing genially. "Oh, aplerjdldly, my dear,
aplondidly! I Kot there* a bit late,
when the others were already at the
table, but I Junt slipped in quietly and
didn't make any atlr."
"Well, how about tho apeech?" ahe
reminded hi in. "Did it mako aa much
of a lilt ua you expected?"
"Oh, yen ? more. None of .the pre
ceding speeches had been particular
ly clover, and they had hardly raised
a smile. Ilut I had no more than atooH
up a-r.d begun when they began to
laugh. I we fit on, my dear, ana, 1 aa
auro you, tbr>y simply ahook. I never
have seen any company ao thoroughly
entertained. I evon expanded a little
? gave then: a couple of now stories
that came into ruy mind. And when
I cat down they cheered and clapped
aa laughed for minutes. I shall never
forget how they laughed."
"Yea, 1 can well Imagine do," his
wife aald sarcastically. "But tho next
time you are to mako an after-dinner
speech wouldn't It bo well to put your
vest on before leaving homo?"
Her Idea of It.
Algio Graham Livingston is going to
writ? a spelling book, some day, If
they let her, according to a wrltor in
the Cleveland Leader.
"IIow do you spell 'Yainlng?' " she
asked the other afternoon, as the big
drops came down and spoilt her out
door play. In parenthesis bo it Bald
(hat ohe isn't big enough to pronounce
the letter "r." Hence "Yalning."
Her mother gave the desired Infor
mation, but Algle, whose proper name
Is Elsie, shook her ' head. Her big
brother endeavored to assist her, but
Algle roguishly declined advice.
"Well," said her brother Bob, "how
do you spell it?"
"H, ?, double 1," came th? answer,
like a flash. ?
And they wonder where she got It.

First to Practice Palmistry.
Gypsies Introduced the practice of
palmistry Into England. This appears
from a statute of 1531 called an "Acto
concerning I'gypsyans," which recites
that "afort- this tyme dyverse and

HE NEVER EVEN TOOK AIM
Bat the Tyro at Hunting Brought
Down Two Bird?, and Shot
No Mpro.
"Only once In my life did I ever
do any about lug." said a traveling
man, talking to u group In the $afe
of one of the big New York hotel*,
"and that once I made a real hit. It
was In a western town to which iny
trip had carried me, and the natives
had arranged a prairie chicken hunt
for Vie following day. Of course I
was Invited. I protested that 1 was
out of practice, but t>ey Insisted that
I go along, and some one furnished a
gun for my use.
"Am the only stranger In tbo party,
they lot me go ahead, following the
dogs closely. I didn't even know
what a prairie chicken looked like;
tvhethor they would run along the
{round or fly. Huddenly I heard a
tremendous whirr, the sound, as I
enrne to know, of the birds taking
jwlng. Ho excited was I that, without
raising the gun to my shoulder, I
pulled the trigger. 'Bung!' went the
gun, and two of the birds fluttered
slowly to the ground.
" 'He never even took aim,' shouted
one of the hunters, and my reputation
was made. Thereafter I rested on
my laurels, not attempting another
shot throughout tho day, or ever
slnt
MADE EQUALS BY LEARNING
With the 8ame Education, Men Will
Lose Thtlr Superiority Over
Women.
Rev. Anna Howard SHaw said re
cently In Philadelphia of an oppo*
nent of co-education:
"Perhaps lio objects because he la
aware that equal education does away
with man's superiority. The average
man, of course, won't be superior to
the average woman when they are
both equally well educated. His as
sertions won't be accepted then un
quostlonlngly.
"Indeed his assertions already are
beginning to bo questioned here ah<t<
there. Thus there was a young chap
at the seashore last month who on be
ing refused by a beautiful girl said:
"'You have broken my heart.'
"But the girl, a medical student,
laid her white hand lightly on hi*
breast a moment, and then shook
her head nad said:
" 'No, there Isn't the least evidence
of organic lesion. I notice a slight
palpitation, due, no doubt, to the ex
cc88lve use of cheap cigarettes, but
otherwise the organ Is quite perfect.' " |
Horse Pedometors.
The whorls of hair on the coats of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, inasmuch as they regis
ter the locomotive activities of the
animals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse. A notable instance is the
graceful feathering that extends along
the hollow of tho flank, dividing the
trunk of tho animal from the hind
quarters. There are alsq crests and
whorlB on tho horse's chest, and other
parts of Its body.
A study of the action of the under
lying muscles explains the origin of
these peculiarities in tho lay of tfie
hair and furnishes tho justification for
calling them pedometers, although the
analogy is, of course, merely super
flcal.
Mixed Patriotism. ^
Up In tho Nineteenth assembly dis
trict they are telling this story of a
fallon political idol. In the rounds of
his social activities he attended an
afternoon entertainment given by the
Outdoor Playground association.
Among the vocal selections rendered
by the children was "My Country, Tls
of Thee." At the conclusion of that
hymn the political idol was called
upon for a few remarks. Ho address
ed the audience with emotion.
"Children," he said, "It does, my
heart good to hear you. Scarcely ever
have I hoard 'The Star-Spangled Ban
ner' so beautifully sung." ? New York
Times.
Fine Horses of Mixed Blaod.
Since the beginning of the seven
teenth century Jerez de la Forontera
has been tho most noted horse-breed
ing center of Andalusia, for many hun
dreds of years famous for its fine
horses. Jerez de la Forontera was one
of the first and last Moorish strong
holds In Spain, and the best horses
there were all bred from famous Arab
stallions, so that what Is known as an
Andaluslan, or Spanish, horse has al
ways a good deal of Arab blood; it
has, however, been crossed with 60
many other breeds, especially Flemish,
that today the Spanish horse Is not
registered in the books of record of
pure-blood animals.
Expensive Bravery.,
The manager of a shooting gallery
patronized by women was glad to get
another pupil, but ho could not exactly
sympathize with her husband's motive
for urging her to acquire crack murk
manship.
"One night when she was staving
alone up in the country a burg' or get
into the house," the husband
"and she bed to fire six shots at*Ht v
before she touched him, and thoa a?
'*ily erased the tail of his coat, it *

NURSES SHOULD NOT SNORE
On? of Them Tellf How the Habit
Keeps Them From Holding
^ Good Placet.
"In all thoae mouths I was In tlu .
hospital somebody ought to bavf*
warned me, 1 think," said the trained
nurse. "Of course I bad U from the
folka at home that I anored a little,
but I never took it aerlouely until I
went on ?my flrat case. I found then
that It la a aeriout matter for a, nurse
to anore.
"I fcuok the oase from a nurae whos^
own walth had broken down. The
patient wuu nervous and excited over
the contemplated change, and that
mado my ordeal more severo; e^branM
new cabo of my own would baveVboen
jnuch easier. Still, we got along fkirly
well together the flrat half of the
nlgbt. He waa a kindly man, and soon
after midnight he lnalated tbat I
should try to get jpoxne aleep. I didn't
think I'd catch a wink, but by and by
I dozed off. It was a fatal aleep for
mo. The next morning the patient's
slater told me about the snoring.
" 'James could not real at all,' she
said. 'I beard you in the next room.'
"Before night I was looking tot an*i
other Job. Of course I did not have
to give up nursing entirely, but the
hard cases, where I am required to
keep awake every second, are open to
me. All {hose soft snaps that give
you a chance to aleep half the night
are beyond the reach of the pnorlng
nuqse."
PIGEONS ON A JAMBOREE
Drink Liquor Spitted In the 8tr??t and
Qavo Real Exhibition of
Drunkenneee.
A heavy truck loaded high with
kegs of liquor was joking across a
line of downtown car tracks when' one
of the kegs toppled and fell from the
top of the pile Into tho street. It
was thoroughly smashed, so the truck
man whipped up his team and went
his way without stopping. The rum
flowed out over the street ? one little
dent In the paving collecting a visible
puddle of It.
In a few mlnutos n pigeon came flut
tering down to drink at the pool thus
fortunately provided for thirsty birds.
The faitlal taste was a surprise, but
a second and a third soon followed,
and soon the pigeon tottered flutter
ing away, too overcome to fly. Other
birds, seeing him there and anxious
to wet their parching throats on so
sultry a day, followed their brother in
his path of wicked intemperance.
Five minutes later a passerby was
astonished to see a dozen pigeons in
the gutter of the otherwise deserted
street, some dancing drunkenly, others
already sound asleep. A few feet
away a hound of disreputable appear
ance was creeping up, slowly and a
trifle unsteadily, on his .unsuspecting
nnd bibulous quarry. As he was al
most among the birds his feet went
suddenly in several, directions and
he lay in the gutter among the pig
eons, growling sleepily to himself, for
ho, too, was drunk. ' ^
Misleading Names.
Practically all the wooden clockk
called Dutch are made in the village
of Freyburg, in the Black Forest. This
misnomer is due to simple mispronun
ciation ? "Deutsch" meaning, of course,
German. Nothing is more natural
than to assume that India ink comes
from India, but it does not, and never
did, any more than does India rub
ber. India ink is a Chinese product,
and India rubber comes from South
Amerlcrf.. Camel's hair brushes are
not made from the hair of camels,
but from tne hair of the tails of Rus
sian and Siberian squirrels. Camel's
hair Is, however, employed in the man
ufacture of certain fabrics to be made
into shawls, etc., and is sometimes
mixed with Bilk.
Hoodooed Her Hair.
Another black mark has been
chalked down against number thir
teen.
"I did up my hair the other night in
curl papers torn from an old calen
dar," said the pretty girl, "and in the
morning when I took it down I had a
row of beautiful curls all around my
head except right over the left tem
ple. That lock was as straight as a
lead pencil, and I had dampened it
with lemon juice just like all the oth
ors, but when I unrolled the paper I
found out why it wouldn't curl. The
page I had twisted it over was the
thirteenth of the month."
Navajo Blankets.
Much unadulterated nonsense ha*
been written concerning the symbol
ism of Navajo Indian blankets, and the
poetry, legend, tradition and history
woven by the squaw into its fabric. It
is true that some designs have a sym
bolic meaning, but Hopl, Zunl and
Apache symbols are used quite as
freely as those peculiar to the Navar
jos. The Navajo squaw Is one of the
least imaginative and least poetical
of human beings, and it is quite safe
to say that even when symbolic de
igns are employed in basket wear*
i it is without the remotest refer*
^nce to their true significance.

Corporal Punishment a Violation of
The Constitution.
The General Assembly oould prob
ably save time from the discussion
of a bill regulating the infliction of
corporal punishment in the State
penitentiary by referring to section
19, of Article 1 of the State Con- j
stitution, the first - two sentences
of which read: Excessive bail shall
not be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel or unusual pun
ishment inflicted, nor shall witness- 1
ea.J?o. unrtjasonably detained. Cor-!
poral puuishmtut shall ?not? b?? In
flicted." The Inhibition In the
Constitution against r'|Corporal pun
ishment" is without any limit what
soever. The legislature1 can confer
no power upon any officer to In?
f Hot corporal punishment. Conse
quently it appears that a statute
regulating the Infliction of a pun
ishment, which ' is .itself unlawful;
would be surplusage. Columbia
