We had thought women too sensi-
BILE to follow the foolish example that
men set several years ago, when sui
eide clubs were in vogue. 1t seems,
however that we were mistaken in
our general estimate of the fair sex.
In Boise, Idaho, young women have
formed such club, and it is said three
of them have already made good"
The police are trying to break up the
membership.

what proportion of negroes figured in
the Brooklyn meeting that organized
such an absurdity, but white men

to form a fund of $500 900, OOO The
comparatively few negroes who have
been beguiled into taking stock in such
concerns have been swindled so out
rageously that even they have grown
shy of the hook; others have either
never had Al cents or have had too
much sense to leo such schemes get
it away from them. Between the two

feet of water in our harbor from the

Gen. Miles is we'll thought of by
Massachusetts Democrats. despite his
alleged intention to make Texas his
residence state. In the Democratic
convention at Boston Charles W. Bart
left of that eitw characterized Miles
as "the foremost American soldier
living to-day, dear to the hearts of
our people, idolized by his old COM
rades." Cheers and applause greeted
these words. Continuing, Bartlett
said: He has been disciplined, snub-
bed, belittled and insulted by crowd
of fustian soldiers and sycophants sur
rounding the technical head of the
army, who was chance participant
in one small fight" This is the view
of Massachusetts Democracy, but the
South could more readily forgive Roose-
Welt his snub of Miles than it could
forgive Miles for claiming jefferson
Davis.

A resident of Muscatine, Ia, would
have had a splendid fish story to re-
count If he had only lived to tell the
tale. Then, however, there would have
been the disadvantage of nobody be-
lieving it, whereas it will not now be
doubted. The fisherman would doubt
less fail to admit the force of this argu-
ment. His post-mortem fish story is
that a monster catfish took his bait
and jerked him overheard, tangling him
in loops of the line and drowning him.

Not long ago Gen. Nelson A. Miles
was talked of as a Democratic cam
didate for Governor of Massachusetts.
1t is~a far cry in more particulars
than that of distance from the gov
ernorship of Massachusetts to that of
Texas, yet they are now talking of
Miles for governor of the latter state.
Ex-Gov. Hogg, it is said, has induced
the former commanding general of
the army to take up his residence in
Texas. promising him to manage it
so that the general will become either
governor or United States senator.
Texans have been accustomed for some
years to think for themselves, and
Miles viii scarcely. be able to run
the Hogg over them" in the way the
report indicates is his desire.

His biographer. Sir. w. a. Linn. says
that by Saturday night Greeley was
satisfied that fhe city offered him no
hope OF living. He decided 20 leave
for the country on Monday. before his
last dollar was gone.
II happened that some acquaintances
OF his landlord, who called on Sunday,
told him Of nm office where compos.
itor was wanted. Greeley went there
Monday morning before the place WIS
open. His appearance was 80 uncou,h

the task and so little could the com

saw Greeley nt work he asked the fore

But the foreman did not pay him of.

The First wedding RfnR.

The wedding ring, according to Henry
Swlnburne OF the seventeenth century,
was first designed by Promctheus and
fashioned out OF adamant and iron by
Tubal Cain. lie says that II was
given by Adam to his son 10 this end
that herewith he should espouse
wife" Men were, as all women know,
decelvcrs ever, and some OF these un-
scrupulous creatures were wont TO wed
with rings made OF rushcs, imagining
them 10 be less binding than n strong
and valuable ring. The bishop OF Sails
bury, however, stepped in and forbade
this practice In 1917.
Silver was more frequently used than
gold for wedding rings. and they were
made I'm all kinds OF shapes, some
twisted, like two Joined hands, or
pair Of hearts stuck together with an
arrow. Often they were adorned with
precious stones and had 'posies"-that
