up even unto Puritan times, though it was
in vogue then mostly in religious ceremon,
les, such as weddings and funerals where
nearly all who assisted in the affair expected
to be enriched by d new pair, presented by
the family. This finally grew into such
an extravaganza that the legislature of
I Massachusetts took the matter up and for
/ babe this lavish glove giving under a
penalty of ego fine.
1t Is strange how many uses the glove
has served, besides its legitimate one of a
hand covering. We have seen it as the
award of honor, token of love, payment of
service, and gift of gratitude. It was
once, also, the signal of mercy-the drop
ping of the royal glove before a culprit
under punishment secured instantaneous
release; and from early times it has also
served the baser use of challenge to a
deadly combat.
Thus the glove has served an important
part in the worlds history, and the next
time polite gentleman removes his right
hand dogskin before shaking hands with
friend, remember it is simply the per
petuation of custom handed down from
those warlike days of chivalry, when a
knights gauntlet Of woven steel might
have hurt the tender fingers confded to its
clasp; hence the habit of removing it
now becomes a mere point of etiquette,
quite unnecessary, except as delicate at

The Mala Vita Murder Society

There comes by cable from Milan the
story of the operations of the Maia Vita
murder society. The organization is
more than the Camorra or the Malta. The
cardinal principle of the society is that
the rich should maintain the poor; that he
who possesses nothing has the right to live
at the expense OF him who has something.
This principle is employed to justify rob-
berry, brigandage and murder. The socie-
ty is, OF course, secret and oath-bound
Death is the certain penalty of disobedi-
ence on the part of members. We see in
this baleful organization communism run
mad. If all property is common, then its
seizure is justifable, and resistance to de.
MAI de Of division property subject to
counter force, even to the point Of she'd
ding blood. But the Italian police, in
dealing with the Mala Vita, have not
stopped to discuss the fine points of social
philosophy, but they treat the members as
murderers, pure and simple, and society
urges that these villains shall be hanged.
And there can be no doubt that society IS
right. As an object lesson the Mala Vita
should claim the close attention of those
who are interested in the social problems.
There is something radically wrong in the
government of Italy that causes this sort
of blood-minded communism to take root
in the land. There must De oppression
somewhere. There must be some lack of
opportunity to work. There must be
some repression of natural aspirations of
the citizens. Where there is that
freedom which enables the average citizen
to hoe his own road toward an honest
livelihood, maintaining his self-respect and
enabling him to rear his family in respect
ability, where toll is honorable and has
due compensation, where men are esteem
ed for their virtues and not for their
money accumulations, where the posses
sion Of wealth is evidence OF virtuous in
dustry-where the spirit of freedom brings
such blessings, we do not find that the
murder society exists. It is surely the
product of unnatural conditions of gov
eminent, of tramping with the laws of
trade, Of excessive taxation. of class dis
tinctions, of the lack of schools. Men are
not naturally inclined to evil. They do
not band together in societies of evil life
unless their better nature has been dwarf

THE FEMININE MIND.
What One Woman Can do With a Street
Car When She Wants to Catch It.

She was nice old lady with an evenly
balanced mind. One part of her mind
thought she would and one part thought
she wouldn't, and so it was evenly balanc-
ed. She stood on the first crossing and
futtered her hand and cried. Stop
Stop!'' as the car went by. The driver
had mis- orders and would not stop at tire
first crossing. Sire didn't know whether
to swear or to CRY. She wished she could
do both. When the car stopped at the
other crossing she looked loDgingIy at it.
Then hope illumined her breast and one
part of her mind thought she could catch
the car so she started for it, but the other
part of he mind thought she couldn t
catch it so she stopped.
Come on, =" yelled the conductor.
She started again, but the driver looked
as if he was going to start, so she stopped
again
Come ahead, said the conduc or, ''if
you re a-COmin'
Then she came.
It was an open car with only two pas
ngers-plenty CT room on every seat.
First, she headed for the side Of the car,
then for the other, then her evenly baianc,
ed mind got stuck on the center. and she
stopped dead still
"All aboard - said the conductor reach
ing up for the bell cord
She threw all her mind into one side of
the balance and took the left hand side OF
the car. She was about to climb into
the rear seat when the next one to it SEEM
ed to bid for her. She had gathered up her
skirt front to climb to the second when
the third beckoned for her. So she went
nm tho oar with hnr mind pinnlv he lon cod
bet Keen one seat and another.
Then she began to go back, choosing one
seat after another, just as turkey with
its evenly balanced mind uses up a whole
evening changing roostlng limbs and
finally goes to sleep on the one it chose
first. At last she climbed to the rear seat
and sat beside man who was smoking;
sat there and shifted and shifted and look
ed daggers until the poor man had to
throw his cigar away. Sill there are
people philosophers they are sometimes
called-vho persist in saying that he
who hesitates is lost.

American Trails in Eastern Count. .es

The constitution of the United States
declares that no person shall be held to
answer for a capital crime unless on Il
presentment or Indictment by grand
jury, and that the trial of every crime shall
be by jury.
An intereStin exception to this general
rule appears IN case recently before the
United States supreme court, in which it
was shown that seaman had been con
victed of murder without indictment by a
grand jury or trial by petit jury. The
court sustained the conviction.
The murder was committed on an Ameri-
can vessel in the harbor of Yokohoma.
The prisoner was tried and convicted by
the American consul and four associates.
He was sentenced to death, but the sen
tence was afterward committed to i'm
prisonment for life.
The procedure was in accordance with
the act of congress establishing courts IN
japan and other eastern countries for the
trial of American offenders. The constI-
nationality of the conviction was question
ed on the ground that the prisoner had
been denied the right of trial by jury,
guaranteed by the constitution. This OBJ
lection was overruled. In an elaborate
opinion written by Justice Field it is held
that the constitution does not operate IN
any country but the United States and
the consular courts in the east were Great
ed pursuant to treaties authorized by the
constitution

HISTORY OF GLOVES.
Homer and Xenophon Mention them
Their Significance in Past Times


When women draw on their gloves they
perhaps imagine they wearing an article
which shows high state of civiliz alton,
and is really quite modern luxury; but
never were they more mistaken, for those
handc0verings date back almost as far as
| history itself. Homer mentioned them In
writings, telling how Laertes wore them
in the garden to protect his hands from
| the sun-for all the world like a modern
dandy. And Xeuophon also speaks of
| them. thinking it not beneath him to
mention that the great Cyrus once forgot
his gloves upon an important occas-
| ion.
Next we hear of them as playing pic
| tureSque part in the days of chiv airy
when glove, presented by a dignitary on
| some public occasion, was considered as
! much of an honor as the bestowal of a
! medal or decoration is IN this age. These
gloves were often very costly; being en-
broidered with jewels and wrought in
gold thread about rich pieces of silk.
They were even then generally made OF
skins. but the handsomest were more
clumsy than the present, for the dressing
OF these skins was not then carried to the
degree of perfection it has since attained.
When the bestowal of a glove was so sig
nal a mark of favor it is TO wonder it
| soon :. became a gage d amour. by a
lady of her knight, was worn by him in
his helmet and proudly dist layed as the
outward token of her highest regard.
Kings and high church dignataries also
wore them, and were exceedingly partic-
ular about them, too upon all state occas-
sions, for there are records OF large sums
being appropriated as glove money,
for these royal personages. In fact, this
matter Of glove money became IN time
quite a universal custom, it being the hab-
it to either bestow the glove or its equival-
ent of coin upon servants, by those guests
who had received their attentions, much
, as they now give drink money" in
Europe; and ''fees' in our country-thus
| introducing pernicious custom

A POINTED .REBUKE.
The Pretty Girl, the Impudent Washer
and the Pin.

A young lady gave maSher a lesson
the other day which was worth seeing.
She was pretty and well dressed girl of a
rather pronounced style of blonde beauty.
On her fluffy hair was perched one of the
new spring hats-a creation in black
and gold. She sat next to me in the street
car The masher, who was also immacu-
late--on the outside-stood directly In
front of her, and now and then leaned
ever so lightly and pressed his knees
against hers. She got as far away from
him as she could, but the car was very
crowded, and she sat there, hev cheeks get
ting pinker ever minute The third time
he did it she lifted her eyes, stared him in
the face and seemed about to sp ak; then,
recollecting probably how the inmates
of the car would stare at her if she did,
she sank back again in her seat, keeping
her indignant eyes fixed on his face. He
raised the paper which he was pretending
to read before his eyes. Now was her
chance. Unseen by him she raised her
hand and drew from her dainty bonnet a
long, gilt-headed pin. She placed it I'M
der her muff on her lap, ready for action.
The masher waited a while, then lowered
his paper, smelled the violets in his but
tonhole. SMILED caressingly and leaned
forward to touch her. With gladstone
smile she jabbed the bat-pin through one
knee of those beautiful trousers. There
was suppressed yell and quick reaction.
1t took him six minutes to leave the car,
and as hepassed me I know from the ex-
preston on his face that if ever man
cursed himself for fool he did.
