A MATRIMONIAL PLUNGER.

individuals with the chronic matrl-
monial habit, who get on with sue
cessive new wives without getting off
with the old, are not by any means
rare in our rapid-pace, modern civil l.
zation There is not year passes
during which a score or so of Amerl-
can citizens do not reach the end OF
a too far stretched matrimonial rope
and land behind prison bars. But
there have been few if any exploiters
of the marriage game who have put
up such a sentimental appeal for SYM
pathy as that advanced by Arthur r.
Zimmerman, who owned up in a
Brooklyn court the other day to hav-
ing married in succession "a wives, all
of whom. so far as he knew, were llv-
ing and none of them divorced at the
time he made his confession.
Speaking of the wonderful heart
elasticity indicated in his matrimonial
record, Zimmerman said:

| But as this child of affection invari-
ably disappeared with the savings OF
| the women with whom he contracted

| cluded that getting married was not

| Zimmerman, but a sWindling conf
dence game Accordingly, the senti-

A BIAS THE HATPlN!

Chicago's city council has sat in SOL
emn Judgment upon the hatpin and
pronounced it's doom. Henceforth its
inuuisitive point may not protrude
more than half an inch beyond the
superficies of the hat. Here is raised
a question for diplomatic adjustment.
When the Berhing seals fisheries were
a live topic the question whether seals
might or might not be caught With
in the three mile short limit was COM
plicated by the question Of whether
This should take in the indentures OF
the coast.
This grave problem reappears IN the
hatpin question. Shall the half-lnch
limit be measured from the covered
frame or from the trimmings. If from
the latter then the pin might with i'm
punity stretch out as far into space as
the wearer of the hat choose to have
it. provided she covers its extent with
some of the shimmering hat mater1al
to a half point of it's terminus.
This reta lation will surely suggest
itself to the injured sisterhood of the
windy city, and no one needs not nave
any computations in suggesting to
them that they cover the pins with
material that is part of the hat TO
+I,o limit of q half inch and then flare
that saber end to the sunlight or their
mockery of the sumptuary legislation
of mean man. In this way the ladies
might have hatpins that reach across
the street and be immune. Surely
woman's resources are creditable when
used in the cause Of the inallenable
rights of the ladies to regulate their
pins to suit their coiffures.

WOMEN AND STAGE MORALS.
midland.

To say that women have great OPP
portunity in the movement to elimi-
nate dubricity from the drama is one
thing. To say that they are respon-
sible for the prosperity of the i'm
moral and demoralizing plays or that
they have deliberately shown pre-
ference for the impure. the salacious
in the drama is to draw an indict-
ment that is far too sweeping That
women, in their earnestness, have
themselves Endorsed such an indict-
ment must be admitted, but neverthe
less the facts do not justify it.
Women have enjoyed and supported
every fine, artistic play of recent years
and have not complained of serious
ness" or mora izing when such quail
ties were accompanied by genuine lit
RE popular with women? Do they not
appreciate Shaw, Maeterlinck, Ros-
tant and the disciples of these mast
ers?
1t is true that some Objectionable
plays have appealed to women, but
that must be attributed to their de-
sire to see new aspects and phases OF
life. 1t is not the immortality that at
tracts; it is the problems and strug-
supposed to be embodied in those
daring" plays that draw feminine aud
fences.

HAD VARIED CAREER IN WEST
Late Associate Justice Lived in the
West For Many Years.

West For Many Years.
KANSAS CITY, Mar. 2S.-While
David Brewer was less than one year
old, his parents returned to this coun-
try from Smyrna. After he had fin
ished school and college, the young
man was offered a place in his uncle's
law office. He studied few months
and then announced his intention Of
going west When relatives attempted
to dissuade him, telling him he could
do better in his uncle's office he re-
piled:
Il don't want to grow up to be my
uncle's nephew"
The future justice did not know
just where he would establish HIM
self when he left New York. He
went to st. Louis first, but after a
few days decided to come to Kansas
City.
At that time Kansas City was a
small frontier town. Court was held
in the second story Of a small build
ing. Politeness was required only of
visitors. Brewer was aSsailed by q
bailiff because he entered the court
room wearing hat. He appealed to
the judge, who was whiting a pine
stick as he sat on the bench, but the
Judge, too, gave the young man
buff, so the embryo attorney left here
in a few hours.
Gold was being found in Colorado,
therefore for a time the young gradu-
ate was tempted to desert the law
and follow the fortunes of the mines.
He thought if gold mining did not pay
