Rings are worn more generally this
winter than in many years, and women
are not obliged to cling so persistently
to gloves. In fact even at balls the wear
ing of gloves is optional. Rings are more
elaborate and snowy than ever. The
most popular design is a bulky diamond
affair that reaches from joint to joint,
while an ingenious Partisan jeweler has
sent to this country one of the long rings
with hinges, covering almost the entire
finger The use of the digit is not i'm
paired, because the hinge acts in accord
ance with the movements of the joints,
while the finger is one giittering mass.
Some fashionable women wear the we'd
ing ring only. but the tendency now is
to smother this sentimental Jewel in a
riot Of diamonds. In some instances
gloves have been slit at the seams to
displays rings.-New York Press.
A most beautiful dinner was given

ance. A star-shaped piece Of red bios
SONS outlined by red candles in crystal
sticks, rested on a mirror in the centre
of the table. Encircling this were two
rows Of candles. Strands of smilax ex-
tended from the edge of the mirror and
fell over the edge Of the table, and be-
tween these were scattered fronds of
woodland ferns. A red carnation was at
each plate The small tables were also
done in red, the candles being the only
Illumination used. Covers were laid for
sixty-eight. An orchestra played in the
corridor during the repast. All Of the
guests were in evening dress Mrs.

A bridegroom, whose nuptials occurred
this week in Des Moines, was given a
handkerchief and necktie shower by a
young lady friend. This was very lovely,
and the example should be followed by
others, for have not the dear men needs,
as well as the girls, and are they not
expected to furnish the cash for the
needs Of both after matrimony? The
bride in this case was deluged with
showers. A preserve shower was the
newest thing given her, and there We're

No words of the writer can add any
thing to the utterances of President
| Roosevelt, but what he said suggests
that the widespread habit of vulgarity,
obscenity ard profanity by no means is
| confined to any one class Naturally
one expects to hear profane and vul-
! gar language from the street loafer, but
the vice does not end there. We asso-
ciate every day with men whose Ian
guage in the presence Of women Is a
model of propriety and cleanliness. And
yet we ali know that with this restric-
ton removed these same men indulge
in profanity and expressions unfit for
the ears of any human being. Here's
an Illustrative case that came to the
writer's knowledge from one who
heard it all. A certain noted lecturer
appeared on a platform before crowd
Of college students; in fact. the college
lecture course secured his services to
deliver his lecture on the beautiful In
life. Art was the theme and the gifted
orator waxed eloquent upon the sub
jects of music, painting, sculpture and
those of a kindred nature. AS one en-
thusiastic young lady student re-
marked. He used the most beautiful
language | ever heard" After the lee
ture was over a number of the young
men of the college accompanied him to
the hotel. And then and there in

guests, clerks and porters of the hotel
this gifted lecturer reeled off for two
hours the most indecent, filthy, vulgar
stories ever told in that hotel Office
He was as gifted co in that line as on
his subject before the audience at the
college chapel. And the next day these
obscene and vulgar anecdotes were
repeated to the students not present at
the hotel, and repeated with much more
accuracy in detail than any of the au-
ditors Of the lecture were able to give
OF the lecture on art.
Here's another case that comes to

| ing society is pure in thought and ex-

same clean public talker will sit down

Somebody once said that the ordi-
nary profane sWearer uses profane
words not SO much to emphasize his
remarks as to fill in a gap that his Or
binary vocabulary can not supply
quickly enough. There's something in
it. The indiscriminate user Of oaths
seldom writes them in letters or es
says. He has time, or takes time. to
write that 1t is an excessively hot day.
He has time when writing to his
daughter away at school to say that
sit is as hot as Arizona here today"
There is no need of mentioning what
he remarked to his neighbor on the
same occasion. Again this same ha-
bitual swearer Is never known to shock
the preachers ears when he chances to
meet him coming up town Did any one
ever hear even a political speaker, I'M
der the stress of great excitement, so
far forget the proprieties as to inject
swear words into his speech? So after
all, such men do know they are using
profanity when they are talking with
their every day acquaintance. and 1t
is a very poor compliment to said ac-
quaintances. When 1t comes to pro-
the Eternal then we strike something
of a different kind. There was a time
when the language commonly attrib-
uted to "Stonewall" Jackson when en-
gagged in battle scared far above pro-
family and became eloquence. Perhaps

sufficiently recognized in the framing
OF law regulating the disposal of pub
tic lands, and the result is seen in
oppressive water monopolies in many
parts of the irrigation country. In
many instances title to a few acres has
carried control over many thousands,
and in this way the building of homes
has been prevented. the government
having attempted to settle the semi
arid west under the same code of land
laws which it used in the settlement
OF the Mississippi valley.
Actual Settlers Benefit.
Ii is the aim of the government, II
remedy this evil, so far as this may
now be possible, and to preserve what
is left of the public lands in the irri-
cation territory for actual settlers. The
law will be administered to this end.
and SO the president must have in his
cabinet as secretary of the interior 4
man of tried honesty and capacity, with
an eye single to the good of the pub
lie. 4 dishonest or incompetent sec
rotary could, in four years time, null
lily the law and turn millions of gov
eminent money TO the aid of private
spectators and great corporate inter
ests. who are even now trying to take
advantage of the law and reap for
themselves as large a part as possible
OF the benefit intended for the general
public.
In q previous article reference was
made to the Salt river project, in
western Arizona. Much of the land to
be irrigated there is in the hands of
private owners, but an honest and fear
less secretary of the interior can do
much to prevent injustice and eXtcr-
ton. He can compel the breaking up
OF these holdings into small tracts, he
can control the water, and il private
ownership rebels he can make its land
a desert. This may have to be done in
cases before the selfish in
stncts of those who are seeking large |
gains are put under proper control.
Much Land Irrec!aimahie.
The public has rather exaggerated |
idea OF the percentage of land in the
arid and semi arid regions which can
