Red Jacket

tween the Six Nations and the United States. Red Jacket argued fercely against such treaty. and used all his wonderful eloquence to avert it. Yet, when he failed and the treaty was ratified, he promptly threw his influence upon the other side and rendered the country such good serv- ice among his own people that in 1792 the president conferred upon him a huge silver medal This med al represented George Washington and Red Jacket smoking the pipe of peace togther.
 Red Jacket gave far more than value received" for the Washington medal For, when Tecumseh strove to rouse the various Indian tribes learned of the plot and notified the government His tidings did much to help Uncle Sam check this wholesale conspiracy Soon afterward, at the beginning of the war of 1912 with England, he and the Senecas cast in their lot with the United States. In council and in secret service rather than in fighting Red Jacket was of tremendous assistance to the govern ment throughout that conflict, though his admirers claim that in the battle near Fort George, on the Niagara boundary line. in 1913. he did valiant work

 To the last he held to the old re- ligion, dress, language and ways of his savage ancestors, and strove to prevent his followers from adopting white mems customs. The only change he himself made from the primitive Indian life was in learning to drink whisky

Graft

I've hear lot about graft in politics In America. but I doubt if any class can touch the social grafters abroad" The speaker was clever woman who has divided the last two seasons between London and Paris, and, having esta blish- ed her reputation as a hostess. will sail for Europe next week to catch the sea- son at it's height.
 Tt amazed me to discover how many persons get through the season year after year by systematically borrowing the things they want, but which they cannot afford to pay for," the speaker went on to say to the group of friends gathered around her luncheon table.
 I recall one woman in particular who manages to borrow furnished flat from some one of her wealthy friends every season, and follows it up by borrowing servants, carriages. horses, automobiles, and even jewelry, and I know of scores of others who go as far as they can in the same direction"
 The woman went on to gay that sub scribers to the opera are literally bonn barded by friends with requests for the loan of the box.

Archaisnns

Alleged archaisms in the marriage cere- mony formed the topic of an address re- gently by the Rev. William B. Willard of Chicago. He referred to these ar- chaisms as making the wedding a farce" He spoke of the sentence In one ceremony, With all my worldly goods l thee endow." In asking the bridegroom to make that promise. the preacher says. he becomes an accomplice of conscious perjury, because ''the bride groom does not endow his wife with all his worldly goods, either in law or in fact"
 He told of an instance where he was called upon to offciate at a wedding of an heiress and a. man who had neither money nor prospects. The girl insisted on the bridegroom vowing he would en- dow her with all his worldly goods
 The bridegroom" said the preacher, 'has a geen sense of the ridiculous, and when 1 had him present the ring and say, With all my worldly goods I thee endow,' the rascal srinned! The en- tire act, which should be the sweetest and most sacred in the life of man and woman. became a joke"
 The preacher attacked the custom of giving away the bride'' at the cere- mony, saying 1t was a relic of the time when women were given in marriage as chattels

Big Photo Bills

The Unplcasant Past

John B. Mosant, the well-known avia- tor who was recently killed by fall from his aeroplane at New Orleans, refused with a smiue to discuss his turbulent, past among the revolutionists of South America. Leave the past alone,'' he said to a New York reporter. Thus you avoid un-i p1easantness. Let me tell you about Judge Hanger aA Judge Hanger was spending a sunny autumn week at Atlantic City, and every
 morning on one of the piers he used to see young lady whose face looked most familiar.
 "The judge prided himself on his mem ory for names and faces, and yet some how this young lady escaped him. But he is sure he knew her. and one morning, though she always studiously avoided his eye, he stopped and addressed her with courtly politieness ]" Pardon me. miss he said. 'your fea- lures are familiar. but, strangely enough. cannot recall the circumstances under which we met. Yet certainly remember our having met somewhere.

Summing

Wellesley girls have decided that their education will not be complete without a thorough study of the world as 1t Is. Thirty of them have organized a soeiolog- ical club to take practical course in stunning. They wish to study prison con- dtions, the life of the immigrants, and learn how the crooks and the poorest of the poor live. This desire was born in the sociological courses which the girls are taking in the college. They have formed many theories and they wish to see how such theories might be applied to actual conditions of the day. Accordingly. expeditions are being planned to the jails. courts, prisons and insane asyums. Many of the girls have ue- cided to- give up their lives to philan- thropy, unless they become engaged to be married, and want to acquire as much knowledge as possible before they receive their degrees.

Long Engagements

There are most certainly, if possible, to be avoided, especially if the young people live in the same place, says tho Censor Indeed, it Is well to consider 1t rule that no man should propose to girl unless he has definite prospect of offering her a home in about year. Long, aimless, indefinite engagements generally end in one or both thinking they have made a mistake, going drag ging on from an idea of honor, and marrying when they do, with no capital of love with which to pay the claims of married life.

When I Get Time This Year

From the Boston Herald When l get time I'm going to write
 A poem great and fine; I'll pour my very heart and soul
 Into it's every line. It shall be called my masterpiece,
 But it I'll stand or fall: And in the ages yet to come
 It will be praised by all. I've studied deep of human life,
 I've sought the ways of men, And all because I want to draw
 Them with my sharpened pen. I want to sway the plastic world
 By thoughts and words sublime. And try to make it better. too,
 And will, when I get time. Alas. The years have come and gone, And each succeeding day Has added cares already wrought, And time has slipped away. The masterpiece I fain would write, l fear will be but rhyme; Because the more of years I live
 The less I have of time.

The Value of Good Humor

It is not great calamities that embitter existence: it is the petty vacations, the small Jealousies. the little disappoint- ments. the minor miceries," that make the heart heavy and the temper sour. Don't let them. Anger is a pure waste of vitality. It helps nobody, and hin- ders everybody. It is always foolish, and always disgraceful, except in some cases when 1t is kindled by seeing wrong done to another; and even that noble raze'' seldom mends the matter.
 No woman does her best except when she is cheerful. A light heart makes nimble hands. and keeps the mind free and alert. No misfortune is so great as one that sours the temper. Till cheer fitness is lost, nothing is lost.
