a PRETTY PICTURE.
But Not Realistic the Least Little Bit In
the World.

Such romantic pictures as one sees in
art galleries of demure, Vatican
maidens strolling through the loveliest
meadows in costumes fit for a reception
or ball, The artists quite revel in satin
and silk. tinted slippers, elbow sleeves
and falls of lace and it makes the rabid
individuals who go in for realism al
most foam in helpless rage.
Look at that picture! Look at it,
sayw shouted one of these indignant
critics one day, pushing me in front of
a poetical dream from some aristocratic
brush. isn't that enough to make a
person lose faith in his fellow-mortals?
Why, that artist ought to be 's<ied'
clear through the roof up to the starry
canopy for preaching such a lesson of
extravaganza to the women who look
at his work. What if they all rush off
and array themselves in Powered rose
brocade, Venetian point, dancing slip
pers and silk hosiery and then prance
through a country meadow? Why,
great Scott, the bank failures would
not be in it. If country meadows were
all as Moquette-carpet-lik and clean
as this painted one, it would be all
right. but trailing over wet clover was
never known to improve brocade, and
the wreck those pink slippers would be
in after half-acre jaunt, quite shocks
me.
"Brambles have no more considera-
ton for point lace than if it We're FIVE
cent cotton, and while torn flags of
flounce waving from various MULLEN
stalks might be consid cred ornamental
by the cows, their appreciation is not
quite educated enough to warrant such
extravaganza. Its absurd-pooh!" the
enraged critic spluttered. And do
you suppose any right-minded girl,
with hands as soft and snow-like as
this piece of folly. would expose her
arms to her elbows in the sun to be
frecl1led and tanned? Why, you know
she's have on long gloves an inch thick.

AFFAIRS OF THE HEART.

THE wedding ring is worn on the
left hand because, in symbolism, the
right hand is authority, the left obedi-
ence.
THE wedding wreath is reminiscent
of the age when the bride was always
presented with bouquet of symbolic
flowers.
II China all arrangements for we'd
ding are made by a go-between, who
also does the counting and makes the

a COUPLE of hundred years ago Eng
lish and German people. in order to Sc
cure the greatest possible publicity,

IN hungary the father of the bride
takes off her shoes and hands them to
her husband. thus turning over all his
authority to the groom.

Acknowledgement Little Decides That L.
brary and Like Dues Are Illegal
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct 4.-While At
torney- General Little was in Chicago
last month he gave an opinion to Chan
cellor Snow, of the state university,
that the fee of sos. taxed upon the law
students by the regents upon the OPEN
ing of the present term, was unlawful
When this ruling became known among
the students letters were written to
him asking him if they could under the
law be required to pay the fees of long
established custom for certain priv
ileges of the institution, such as the
use of the library, laboratory. etc.
Replying to these questions Attor-
ney-General Little to-day decided that
these fees, too. were contrary to law.
He holds that the regents may lay a
tax upon students who are not inha bit
ants of the state, but fo- all others the
institution is free.
This decision is great disappoint-
ment to the regent and other friends of
the institution, as it deprives it of a
source of revenue which has been used
to pay special lecturers and other in
structors for whom the legislature
makes no apDrOpria ton.

Mr.. Jacobs alleges that the presence
of sooners in the strip was due to the
fact that the army department did not
furnish enough soldiers to keep the
lines. There were three or four claim
ants for every lot in Perry. and, he
said. two or three for every desirabll

infantry barracks at Roslavl burned
last night Before all the men could
be aroused the flames had 'spread

400 men ran out in their night clothes.
OF sixty who were driven TO the roof

eleven were killed and eight were in

Twenty-three men and five non-com-

halls or rooms by the smoke and heat
and were burned to death.
Many other soldiers are missing, but
it has been impossible as yet to learn
whether their bodies are in the ruins
or they are merely injured and are be-
