A PERSIAN PARABLE.

Col. James Hamilton Lewis, the ell
oquent Chicago lawyer, in great
speech in defense of Il woman on trial
for murder in that city, told the fol-
lowing pathetic story:
1.-The great Persian philosopher,
Sadi, tells of a man and woman who
started out together. The days of the
man were lighted with sunshine, his
nights by stars. He reached the end
of his journey at the gates Of God,
and demanded his reward like vic
tor. Not SO the woman. She yielded
to the allurements of hope and whis-
perings of love. She wandered
through devious ways, where her
hands were torn and her feet were
bruised and her heart was made to
bleed. She, too, reached the gates at
last, not standing, but OF her knees,
not a victor, but as one vanquished.
Her only cry was Lord, be merciful.
The great Master called Amalti, the
angel Of Judgment to Judge her. AM
alti took the woman away. When
they returned her face was radiant,
her tears were dry. The Master de-
manded of Amalti: How have you
judged her?' He said, oh, good
Master, as one who was miserable, Il
woman III agony, whose days have
been sadness and whose nights all
misery. And the Master said, Stand
up, come forth and be free. for it is
for such as thou that God gave his
strength to men that they might take
woman 10y the hand and lead her to
where she may hear the Christ say.
Come unto me, all We that labor and
are heavy laden and will give you
rest Then the hosannas of the an
gels rang out their approval rs God
proclaimed: with what Judgment
We mete out to men, that Judgment
shall be melted unto you by your Fa-
Their in Heaven.

LABELLING MARRIED MEN.

Eighteen society women Of Pitts
burg have hit OH a novel method for
putting an end to flirtations by their
husbands and other married men.
They have started an agitation to
have law enacted compelling all
married men to wear Il wedding ring
as symbol Of the marriage tie. Thus
they argue, all members of the fe-
male sex will be able to tell whether
tlirtatious glance comes from mar
ried or an unmarried man.
In this agitation the women of
Pittsburg pay very subtle compli-
ment to their own sex, taking it for
granted that none of their kind would
tlirt with Il married man. The dis
patches do not state whether it is pur-
posed to have the plain gold band.
which is suggested, burned into the
flesh so that it will not come off or
merely worn in the usual manner.
Unless the burning process is adopted
we timidly express the fear that some
feel ut liberty to discard the ring
when embarking OH flirting eXpedi-
tiOns. This fear, however, arises from
cynicism which, we hope, is not uni
versal.
1--WE believe" said the leader Of the
optimistic eighteen in reciting their
creed, THAT young girls will not tlirt
with men if they know they are mar
ried. We will ask our husbands to
wear II plain gold band ring as
token of being married, and we hope
to have the custo m adopted univers-
ally"
1t is said that Brooklyn has al
ready put into operation far better
plan to keep the husbands from flirt-
ing. The wives in that burg make
their husbands push baby carriages,
and it is asserted that few of them
have found it possible to handle the
perambulator and smile at Dung
lady. no matter how winsome, at one
and the same time.
In New York, however, most of the
wives in the social set have long since
discarded the wedding ring. jewelers.
say that for years the wedding rings
have been growing thinner and thin
er, until now there is scarcely any
demand for the old-time plain gold
bands. Some of the wives wear the
ring on chain, beneath their bodice,
and some do not wear it ut all. Per-
! haps, in the natural course of social
evolution. the wedding ring will mere
ly be transferred from the woman to
the man. This will be quite in ac-
cord with woman's recent progress.
