A WoMAN,s NAME.
Origin of the Custom of Changing
 1t When She Marrfes 4

Origin of the Custom of Changing
 It When She NTarr1es.
 The custom which makes 1t proper for the wife to assume the name of her husband at marriage is involved in much obscurity. A recent authority advances the opinion that 1t originated from. Roman custom and became common after the Roman occupation of England. Thus Julia and Octavia, married to Pompey and Cicero were called by the Romans Julia of Pom pey and Octavia of Cicero, and in later times the married women of most Eu- ropean countries signed their names in the same way, but omitted the ''of." Tn spite of this theory it is fact that as late as the sixteenth and the be- ginning of the seventeenth century a Catherine Parr signed her name with out any change, though she had been twice married. We also hear of Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella Stuart, not Seymour, etc Some think that the custom originated with the Scriptural idea that the husband and wife are one This was the rule of law as far back as 126S and it was de- cided in the case of Bon versus Smith in the reign of Elizabeth that woman by marriage loses her former name and legally receives the name of her husband.-New York Herald

A son was born to Mir and Mrs Ed
 ward Bronson on Sunday. ,- G.. The work of remodeling the H. +. Davis house, recently purchased by Agnes Curtiss, has commenced. The regular monthly meeting of the fire department, held at their rooms last evening. was slimly attended. The l report of the recent ball was read and 1t showed a snug sum of money cleared for the treasury. The turkey supper did not bring as large financial re turns as the ones ill previous years, owing to the high price of turkeys. William Stonghan has purchased q piano of F. H. Lewis S5 Go. A daughter was born yesterday to Mir and Mrs George Demarest. It is quite likely that the price O. ! turkey will take a big drop before the Christmas season arrives. At Thanks giving many of the meat men were left with number of the birds on
 hand, owing to the advancement in
 price.
 A number of local men have taken
 positions with the s, N. E, Telephone Go. At present they are at work set

HERoIsM IN ANIMALS.

1t Ia Not More Uncommon Than Ia
 Brute Maternal Affection.
 A writer on natural history complains that men are prone to regard mascu- line courage in defense of others as a virtue purely human Tn reality self sacrifice for the female sex or for the young is part of the scheme of nature, and every male thing is strong and splendid in appearance because he is the descendant of those who have proudly held and guarded ':the privi- lege of deathp Another writer tells a story which illustrates this point. Two entomologists, hunting at night, clam bered over gate with, their swinging lanterns and found themselves in a field filled with sheep. The result of their coming was panic and a furious staIn- pede. The sheep charged helter skelter away from the lanterns and huddled to- gether at the far end of the field. But there was a ram among them. and as the flock scurried away this creature stood firm, covering the retreat. Then, steadily and majestically, the huge ram advanced with lowered head toward the mysterious lights and pressed them back to the gate. This is only one graphic story of many that might be told of masculine courage throughout nature. Man has some virtues which animals, so far as we can judge, know nothing about: but heroism-the pride of affording protection to the weak and daring death for the security of the fock-is not a human attribute alone, any more than is maternal af- lection.

Woman Cooked Dinner and Husked
 Ninety-one Bushels In 9 Day.
 Of all the great corn huskers in ISwa this fall Miss Hurstad of Lakeport township, Sioux county. claims the dis tinction of beating all of the men, says a special dispatch from Eldora, Ia. Miss Hurstad has been working as a regular corn shucker all the fall on the farm of Abram Molstad, and one Saturday recently she husked ninety one bushels of corn as an ordinary days work.
 Without trying to make record Miss Hurstad brought in fifty bushels of golden ears in the morning. After emptying the wagon she cared for her team, went into the house and got din- ner for a lot of hungry men, went back to the field after her dinner work was all done and hukked and brought in nearly forty-five bushels before dark. Some of the great cornfelds are show ing up a remarkable growth.
 At Little Sioux Alex Miller rais- ed 205 bushels to the acre of corn, and the stalks were sixteen feet in height A boy could climb five feet on the stalk without bending it over.

AUBURN PRESSES POPULAR
Woman with Bright Red Hair Tells How Locks of Titan Shade
 Have Become Desirable.

eff had waited 20 years about get.
 ting myself born, I'd have saved my self innumerable heartaches," said a Georgetown woman to a Washington Post reporter. My hair, as you see. Is warm Titan shade. When was a child 1t was plain red, and was commonly called brick top and ear rots.' What misery I endured on ac- count of that flaming hair of mine! l washed 1t in sage tea, soaked 1t in iron rust water, and I shed tears enough because of it's color to float a battleshlp. us@d to long for some thing to frighten me enough to turn it white. My only grain of comfort was the hope that 1t would darken as I grew older. Nobody considered red hair anything but a horror in those days. It's so different now. I didn't realize how different till I took my little niece downtown the other day to buy her doll. She passed rows of black and blond-haired dolls disdain- fully. At length we came to a case full of dolls whose hair was exactly the shade mine used to be. Oh, want one of these!' said she. Look at their lovely, lovely red hair! The toy man who showed red-haired dolls in my day would have been considered mad, but now they tell me the red- haired doll Is the most popular novelty of the season. What that means as to the attitude of modern children to- ward red hair only one who was red haired child 20 years ago can tell. It was thoughtless of me to be born so soon" 4H ~

NEW STRAW HAT IS COMING
Eastern Drummer Makes Announce ment of Novel Headgear for
 Use Next Season.

There will be a new thing in straw hats next season." said M F, Frankel, representative of large eastern hat im- porting and exporting firm, to Mill waukee Sentinel man. Tt is what we call spiderweb straw, and it takes p of these hats to weigh pound. They are made in Switzerland and are sailor shaped. They ire made so that they cannot be injured by rain. In fact, when they get wet the straw swells and the hat is even better than before. They will sell for about $2. These new hats, pr any other hat for that matter, will not cut any figure in the sale of Pana- mas. A good Panama Is always val- uable and they will always be in de- mand. On account of the big demand in the last two years the old supply that had accumulated in the countries where they are made is now exhaust ! cd and the hats are harder to get. The prices, however, will not be advanced any, as the retailers always have got a good big price for them. The im- pression tkat seems to have gotten about that the Panamas are made under water is merely a delusIon. They are made during the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the evening, when the atmosphere is moist and there is a heavy dew. This is on account of the fact that the straw must be wet when handled, or at least damp. so that 1t will not break, and it is on this account that the hats are so valuable. The natives can only work on the hats about four hours day, and for the life of you you can't hurry them'

 For Downtown.
 If J. Horace McFarland's plan for transforming Chicago into a ''city beautiful" is carried out the boys who steal apples from peddlers' wagons probably will rise up and call him blessed, says the Chicago Tribune. So also will the policemen who keep trained down" by chasing the small boys down alleys. So, too, will the judge who sentences the youths to the parental school and also Superintend- ent MacQueery, who is not allowed to administer severe punishment to the prisoners.
 MT. Mcfarland, who is president of the American Civic association, said the other day at the annual meeting of the Woman's Outdoor Art league that the grass plats along Chicago's streets should be planted with fruit trees. Even in the downtown district, he said, it would not be amiss to plant trees destined in time to bear luscious fruit'' He would transform Chicago into a great orchard. The applause amounted to indorsement of the plan and after the meeting several of the leaders in the league promised to start the movement at once
 ''I would plant apple, peach, plum and cherry trees along the streets of your city, he said. "I would plant strong, hardy, fruit bearing trees, be- cause none is more beautiful than a fruit tree. You will say the small boys would pluck and eat, the fruit. What if they do? It will not harm the trees and it will do the boys good. Only selhshness could stand in the way of such plan. The boys would learn to cherish and protect the trees; it would do the outdoor art movement more good than harm to have the boys inter ested in the trees.'
 MT. Mcfarland, who is resident of Pittsburg, spoke on Common Trees and Their Uncommon Flowers" He said some of the trees which are re- garded with disfavor in America be- cause they are so common are treasur- ed in Europe. He held that the maple and the Carolina poplar should not be planted in the city, as they soon die, but recommended for city use the oak, the tulip tree, the linden and fruit trees generally. #
 ''Tree planting is "a splendid idea" declared Mrs. Charles F. Millspaugh, president of the league, after the meet ing. "I cannot imagine anything more beautiful than Chicago's streets lined with fruit trees hanging with apples and peaches and pluIns.'
 Fruit tree planting, it is said, will be tried first in the school yards. It may help to solve the lunch room ques- tion. ~ gsas ssz.ss% tse- f,.r
 Tt would ruin our business" said the proprietor of fruit stand in Wa bash avenue. All the Greeks in Chi cago would rise up. If they couldn't be stopped any other way an ax bri- gade might be formed,''

Home Ornaments.

It is safe to say that in all homes of or- dinary size, if the necessary objects are well selected, of proper size, and attrac- tive design and color, no other orna- ments are needed. In most houses the addition to these necessary articles, of others not necessary, is 8 distinct dis advantage.-N. Y. Post.

In a composition upon ''Hducation' a boy once wrote, Education is going to school, which is being marked ev- cry day and examined on paper and then promoted, and if you are a girl you graduate and have flowers, but if you are boy you don't have flowers; you only go to college" A somewhat unique, deplorable, but comprehensive definition.
