RINGs al WEnnINes-

There is a popular idea that a ring
made of gold is the only one that can
be legally used in a wedding ceremony.
That is, however, a fallacy. Any and
every kind of ring may be used and.
though gold ones are customary. there
is no reason whatever why silver or any
commoner metal should not be called
into requisition. Numerous instances
are on record of runaway marriages in
which a brass ring has played the all
important part, and the legality of the
ceremony has never been questioned.
In some cases d piece of hurriedly tied
string has answered the same purpose,
as have also circles cut out of card OF

She made three dozen doilies last sum
mer and wants to do even better this
year. She has a strawberry set and
a cherry set, besides a chrysanthemum
and holly berry design and two or
three drawn work and lace center
pieces.
Heaven knows what good alI these
linen sets are to her, for she will trust
no one to launder them, and she keeps
them done up in tissue paper in the
bottom of a chest. The only time they
see the light of day is when she shows
them to some awestruck visitor or
counts them feverishly to be sure that
the hOusemaid. enraptured by their
charms, has not appropriated some of
them.
Next comes the man crazy woman.
She may have had three husbands, but
is still athirst for admiration and does
not really wake up unless there is a
man around.
Her sex does not love her. but it
tolerates her, because watching her
constitutes one Of the few excitements
the place affords.

COOL ATTEMPT TO GAIN LIBERTY
stackpole strolls Out Of the Door Of
the Court Room.

Los Angeles-Ernest Stackpole,
whose trial for the murder of Joel
Scheck was concluded Saturday while
waiting in department / at the court
house fol the verdict of the jury
made clever and almost successful
effort to escape from the building. I'm
noticed by Bailiff Harrington he
strolled out through the door OF the
court room into the chamber Of Judge
James, where an open door led into
the corridors of the court. He had
scarcely entered the judges chamber
when Harrington caught sight of him
and sprang for the open door. Har-
rington succeeded in rushing in front
of Stackpole and throwing the door
shut and locking it, He then clapped
handouts on the prisoner and led him
back into the court room Stackpole
was cool and collected and had moth
ing to say after the episode. 1t is the
second time during the present trial
that ne has made the same sort of
effort to escape from the officers.

TROUBLE in MINING CAMPS.
Special Governor Appointed BY Gar
to Control Situation.

st. Petersburg view of the rep
reservations of the foreign mining in.
terests in the Donetz basin with re-
gard to the seriousness of the situation
at Uzovka and elsewhere, the govern
ment has erected the whole coal and
iron district affected into a special
general governorship in order to be
the better able to control the situation,
and has taken the unprecedented step
of creating a special advisory com,
mission of mining representatives to
act in concert with the new official of
the district. His jurisdiction embraces
Yekaterinoslav province the southern
part OF Kharkov and parts of the Don
Cossack territory.
The step is comparable to the crea-
ton of the much abused "satrapien"
to deal with the agrarian disorders in
central Russia last autumn, of which
the assassinated General Sakaharoff
was one of the governors, and init
mates that the government considers
the situation to be equally serious.
Disorders and collisions with troops
continue. At Uzovka a meeting was
dispersed by Cossack whips.

Representations have been made to

negroes be removed Immediately to
avoid further trouble.
