The Engaged Girl s Worries

Haven't you noticed how thin I've grown?' asked the engaged girl of her chum, who had just returned from a trip.
 You aren't quite up to the usual mark, now that you call my attention to it, dear" murmured the chum.
 Let me sec" said the engaged girl. it was six weeks ago, wasn't 1t, that l wrote you Tom had proposed? He passed one delicious week with me- then, three days after he arrived home, my ring came. Yes, know you've been dying to ask me about it, and that's what I'm coming to.
 Well, when l opened the box and saw that lovely solitaire 1t seemed as though Tom was near me somehow. Of course, any engaged girl can un- derstand when I say that it compen- sated in measure for his absence The family were exclaiming over the ring when l took it from the box and started to slip it on my finger.
 For goodness sake, child, gasped Aunt Mary, don't you know that it's bad luck for anyone but Tom to put that ring on your finger the first timer
 'Of course everybody laughed, as we always do whenever Aunt Mary parades her superstitions. Then, just to show her that I didn't give a par ticle of weight to such foolishness, slipped the ring on and waved my fln- ger under Aunt Mary's nose She looked deeply injured, as usual, and walked out of the room In my thoughtless way I went on admiring the diamond and thinking what dear Tom is.
 That afternoon as I was dressing to go to the embroidery circle meeting and anticipating the sensation my ring would create I suddenly remembered hat l had left it on the washstand in the bathroom. Of course ran to get 1t. and just as l reached forward to pick it up, in some unexplainable man. ner it slipped forward on the marble and down it went into the pipe
 "I was simply raralyzed for 8 mo- E~ent. then | flew downstairs and rnoned for plumber to come post haste, meanw hile wringing my hands and not daring to try to recover the ring myself for fear I might not get 1t at all. Mother and Aunt Mary were in the library and had heard me when 1 phoned Mother was a perfect dear and never reproached me fer my care.

Dancer in the West.

Is there danger that the west is growing effete? Are the hardy virtues of the pioneers failing of repetition in the easier lives of their sons? Must the ripened crops languish for lack ot laborers, while the future heirE and heiresses disport themselves? That yeteran friend of the once horny. handed farmer, Secretary Wilson, re ports that his client is more than out of debt. He has paid for his farm, his fences and his machinery. He has money in his pockets, the crops keep on growing, and he is afraid of east. ern securities. Hence he buys luXu ries. In the words of the secretary: Folks in the east do not know wha, luxuries are. They must go west tc find that out.

It was too late, anyhow.
 The next day took my ring down to the jewellers to have him clean 1t, because some particles of dirt had got tempt to clean 1t myself. I took it of and laid 1t on the counter while he wrote my name on little slip. When he reached for the ring it wasn't there!
 At first I thought 1t was a joke he had played on me, for I've been going to him for years. So laughed and told him not to frighten me. But soon I saw by his manner that it wasn't a joke at all. The ring was really gone!
 We turned everything over, looked up and down the floor, into crevices and every possible place I could think of. Then I grew hysteri- cal and really believe that in spite of his knowing me we'll he began to suspect me of some ruse As l leaned against the showcase and wept l heard something tinkle, and there hanging to the fuzzy sleeve of my jacket, was my ring.
 "I never mentioned a word of the occurrence at home, but, of course, Aunt Mary had to go to that jewellers the very next day to have pin clasp repaired, and she heard the whole story. By that time the ring was be- ginning to get on my nerves to such an extent that l couldn't sleep. I'd wake up in the middle of the night in cold precipitation, having dreamed that 1 had lost 1t. I'd hide it in ali sorts of queer places for fear it would be stolen, and then I would nearly go into spasms because had forgotten where had put the ring.
 Finally, after I dropped it at the matinee one day and had a terrible time rescuing it from under the feet of fat man who sat near me, de- cideu to deposit it with mothers valu- abies at the bank and there's where 1t reposes at present. Do you wonder that look anxious and worn?"

 "If Tom is as clever as he thinks he is," said the chum. he'll simply pre- tend to change the ring and then he'll put the same one on your finger and ou and your Aunt Mary will not know ha difference"

WASHINGTON, Dec, 1O.-Red Cloud,
the famous old Sioux Indian chief, is
dead. Red Cloud was Sc years of age,
and for the last 25 years lived at the
Pine Ridge agency. Red Cloud first
became known as an important per-

he became subchief of the Brule-Sioux
tribe. His tribal territory extended
from the North Platte river to the Big
Horn mountains and west to the Black

He was known as a hostile Indian

forays against small military posts,

PRESIDENT WAITS
ON NSUPREME COURT
Anti Trust Legislation Post
poned Until Decisions in
Cases Are Given
TAFT Thinks Recommendation
Now Might Be Construed as
Attempt to Influence Judges
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-Contrary to
general expectation there will be no
anti-trust legislation at this session of
congress. except possibly some legis-
Iation dealing with the railroads.
President Taft intimated in his re
cent message that he would send in
a special message dealing with pro-
posed amendments to the Sherman anti
trust act, but 1t was definitely learned
today that he intends to postpone dis
cussion of the Sherman act until after
the United States supreme court has
passed. upon the American tobacco
company case and the Standard oil
case.
The president, after conference with
Attorney General Wickersham and
other advisers, has come to the con-
clusion that recommendations from
him at this time would be premature
and might be construed as an attempt
to influence the decision of the courts
on pending matters.
Upon the decision of the supreme
court will depend the administration S
attitude toward amendments to the
Sherman law.
1T was admitted TO-DAY that lDe ue-
cree of the circuit court in the Stand
ard oil case was written by Frank 3.
Kellogg. government trust buster.
The decree is even more drastic than
was foreshadowed by the courts opin-
ion. If this decree is sustained by the
supreme court all business organiza-
tions similar to the Standard oil COM
pany must cease operations along the
lines they are now conducted upon and
general confusion will result Remedial
legislation in that case would be Inn
mediately necessary in order to permit
good trusts to do business.
