THE VIRGINS WEDDING RING.
1t Was the Greatest MiracIe-work of tn
Middle Ages.

1t Was the Greatest Miracle Worker of the
Middle Ages.
One of the famous myths of the
middle ages" was the story of the "Mi-
raculous Ring" supposed and believed
to have been the identical circlet used
in the marriage ceremonies which made
the Virgin Mary aud Joseph, the car
penter, man and wife. This wonder
worker was a homely little onyx or
amethyst jewel, having n carved repre-
sentation of the budding rod on the
signet.
1t was discovered in the year 996 in
this manner:
Judith, the wife of Hugo, marquis of
Etruria, being great lover of jewels,
employed one Ranerius, skilled lapi-
dairy of Clusium, to go to Rome and
make some purchases for her. While
there he became acquainted with a
ieweler from Jerusalem.
When the latter was on the eve of
departure he presented him with a
communicating finger ring. Ranerius
at first declined such valueless gift,
but upon being pressed to take it only
consented after listening to n marvel
Gus story of the rings history,
which wound up that it was
the wedding ring of Joseph
and Mary. Ranerius, still care
less of what the other said, threw it in
chest, where it remained ten years
During this time Ranerius' only son,
ten years of age, died.
While the child,was being carried out
for burial he SUDDENLY rose from his cof-
fin and ordered the bearers to stop.
Then calling to his father he told that
individual wonderful story of his trip
to Heaven and how sorrowful the Vir-
gin Mary was because he (Ranerius)
had allowed her precious jewel to lay
neglected for ten years.
The resurrected boy had never heard
of the ring before, but when the chest
of trinkets was brought soon selected
the holy relic. After performing the
miracle the child died again and was
buried. But the ring became the relic
OF relics and was constantly surround
ed by devotees and those who desired
20 have it applied to blind eyes, Grip
p'tu lIulUS, Slc. IL WIS IlIc greatest
miracle of the times. Besides healing
leprosy. curing blindness, sciatica and
other ills, it reconciled entangled mar
ried people, drove out devils and per-
formed many minor services For many
years it was at Clusium, but was final
" stolen by one Winthems and carried
to Perugia. A long dispute arose over
this, which was at last decided by Car
didal Piccolominaeus. who adjudged it
10 the last named place. - ST. Louis

AN APPROPRIATE SUGGESTION

In view of recent events the New
York Sun suggests that Article II OF
the United States Constitution be
amended and revised so as to read as
follows:
l. The executive and legislative
power shall be vested in a president
of the United States of America.
2. The President shall have power,
without the advice and consent of the
Senate. to make treaties and to ap-
point commissioners paramount.
3. He shall from time TO time con-
ceal from the Congress information OF
the State of foreign countries.
4 He shall guarantee mOnarchical
form of government everywhere.
5. He shall have power to make
war without previous notice TO the
enemy or to his own subjects.

SOME PLEASANT FIGURES,

SoME LE<ASiNA
Mr.. Herbert Myrick. one of the ed
itors of the American Agriculturist
has been making a study of the cen
sus and other sources of information
with reference to mortgages and kin
bred statistics, out of which he evolv-
ed great many facts that ought tC
add to the fervor of our thanksgiving.
We have had so many figures, these
past three years, to prove that we
were hopelessly ruined and irredeem-
ably bankrupt, that it is a great re-
lief to be able to present some figures
on the other side. Here are some OF
Mr.. Myrick's conclusions. Read them
carefully, remember that they are de-
rived from the very highest authority
and then when somebody comes to
you with a doleful tale about this
country being on the verge of forty
kinds of blue ruin, tell him he is a
liar, and charge it to us:
The total amount of farm mortgages
in the whole country is not quite one
tenth the total value of all our farms.
Out of every hundred American
farms, more than seventy are fully
paid for and less than thirty are mort
gagged.
The average mortgage represents
one third the value of the farm upon
which it is secured.
In 1880 nearly one fifth of the mort
gage Indebtedness rested on farms; in
1890 farm mortgages represented one
seventh of the country's total indebt-
edness on real estate.
Out of every hundred families on
American farms in 1890, forth-seven
owned their farms free OF mortgage,
twenty owned, but with incumbrance,
and thirty-two hired the farms they
lived on and worked.
OF those who cultivated their own
farms, 20 per cent owned without in
cumbrance and 80 per cent had mort
cages. OF the farms occupied by ten
ants, less than 10 per cent were in
numbered.
Four-fifths of the amount of debt on
farms and homes were incurred for
the purpose of buying and improving
the property, and like portion of the
numbers of farms and homes were
mortg aged for the same purpose.
During the ten years between 1880
and 1890, 100000 new farms were ere
ated in the West and South. If one
half of them carried the average size
mortgage, this would account for the
increase in the total debt ON farms.

Crowded Out Local.

EDITOR REGISTER:-On last Wed
nesday afternoon thirty-six boys from
the different grades of our schools, g
part of them habitual users of cigar.
cites, met me in conference at the Cen
trail school building to discuss the Gig
arctic habit. From them L learned
that the cigarette smokers among
them desired to quit the habit but
most of them felt that they lacked the
will power to resist the temptation tC
smoke when opportunities were sc
freely afforded as they now are by the
large sales of cigarettes daily in ouI
city. The boys wished TO petition all
dealers in tobacco in lola to refrain
from selling any more cigarettes.
After full conference the following
instrument was drawn up and signed
by all present:
lola, KANSAS, Nov. %, 1898
We, the undersigned, respectfully
request all dealers in tobacco in lola
and vicinity to agree not to handle
cigarettes nor to keep them for sale
from and after the earliest date prac-
ticable after this petition and agree
ment upon our part shall have been
presented to them.
We mutually agree that from and
after this date or any later date placed
after our names we will abstain from
the use of cigarettes. :.
The action outlined above is one OF
the most significant that has occurred
in the history of our boys. 1t re-
ceived its initiative, remember, from
boys who were addicted TO harmful
practice and it is an appeal upon
their part to have temptation re-
moved from among them in order that
they may hope to overcome their be-
setting bad habit.
Among those who join in the appeal
there are at least score who have it
in them to make good and honorable
men but who if they break not away
from the vice that is sapping their
young lives bid fair to sink to the
level of the cigarette fiend."
Are these boys worth saving? 1 call
upon all good citizens to join heartily
in this movement for the betterment
of -rour boys, and upon merchants
whose business may be affected in the
matter to sacrifice all the profits of the
cigarette trade to the cause of our
future men.
l shall be pleased at all times to
confer with friends in this movement
and trust that all will enter it with
the determination to bring from it
some tangible result for the right.
Respectfully, w. S. PICKEN,
Supt. Public Schools.

The lovers of flowers and music and
pretty scenes and skilful reading
and good things to eat are indebted to
Mr.. Harmon and the Baptist ladies
for an entertainment which combined
all those excellent things in harmon
ious proportion. The chief feature of
the program Thursday evening-aside
from the singing and playing of Miss
Hosley, of Ft. Scott-was the illus
trated reading of Enoch Arden. Mrs.
FultOn'S fine elocutiOn never showed
to better effect than in this reading
while the tableaux given to illustrate
the text were uncommonly good. We
were unable to hear the program on
Saturday evening, but those present
compliment it most highly. OF course
the great show was the chrysanthe-
NUNS, the handsomest display of
these regal flowers ever made in lola
we believe. The attendance was
good and the church realized nearly
$4,000, while Mr.. Harmon sold nearly
all his plants.

each so well acquainted with all the
others that formalities were easily
laid aside and the time given up to
thorough enjoyment. Refreshments
were served early in the evening and
afterwards there were experiments in
mind reading and other innocent
pastimes until the parting hour arriv-
ed. There are two social functions
in lola each year which those who
are eligible will never let anything
short Offiat impossibility prevent them
from attending: One is Prof. and

uating class in the spring. and the
other is Prof. and Mrs. Picken's re-
