ROUGH MARRIAGE KNOTS.
Pledges Under Which They Were Tied
In Medieval Times.

FleoSeS ONO0F "niCn noy "cFc TOO
In Medieval Times.
The matrimonial contract today Is a
thousand times more polite than it was
in the middle ages. 1t has lost the en-
gaging frankness OF it's medieval orig
inals.
In the good old days when the bride
was taken for fairer. for fOuler. for
better. for worse" and promised Ito
be buxom and bonny" to her husband.
her father gave the bridegroom one of
the brides shoes as token Of the
transfer of authority. The bride was
made to feel the change by blow on
the head duly administered with the
shoe. How much more significant and
eloquent use of the article than our
refined" custom Of throwing it after
the carriage! The husband took oath
to treat his wife well. in failure OF
which she might leave him. AS point
of honor, however. he was allowed to
"bestow on his wife and apprentices
moderate cashgation."
An old Welsh law lays 1t down that
three blows with a broomstick Ion any
part of the person except the head is
fair allowance" while another provides
that the stick be not longer than the
husbands arm nor thicker than his
middle finger
The bride. however, had her privi-
leges- In certain countries it was her
accepted right the morning after the
wedding day to ask for any sum OF
money or any estate that she pleased.
and her husband could not in honor
refuse. A man had to be pretty sure
of his brides Intentions" to run such
q risk.
These old time marriages were often
hard driven bargains. which unblush
ingiy displayed a good deal of unloveiy
human selfshness. Yet the rough
knots that were tied q thousand years
ago held faster than many of the be-
ribboned and bejeweled bonds we SO
genteely adjust today. - New York

is YOUR LIFE INSURED?

The value of life depends a good
deal upon who is valuing it. But if
we take the average legal estimate,
$1,000, the human lives of the Unit
ed States are worth $500, ,00O, ,OOO,-
900. Yet only per cent of these
lives carry any insurance at all.
Property is we'll insured-over-in
sured, it often seems. But life, the
most important of earthly values, the
value of which, once lost, cannot be
replaced, we act as if we priced the
least.
There is being organized on a ma
tion-wide scale, financially backed by
banks and investment houses, a So
ciety to urge the American people to
cultivate thrift. It's slogan is: ''Save
a tenth of what you earn" It's pur-
pose, of course, is to feed the rivu-
lets of the peoples money into the
Golfers of the big banks, supplying
big business and high finance with
the chief tools of their trade.
And that is worthy enough pur-
pose, too, though somewhat selfish
"a policy of enlightened selfishness, ="
we suppose the bankers would call it.
But why save primarily for the
banks? Why not save for your
selves? That can be done now
through properly organized building
and loan associations. 1t could be
done to far better advantage if we
had in this country good general
understanding of the subject of life
insurance. If we knew enough to in
sure ourselves, mutually, at cost and
recognized in this one of the highest
obligations of government.
| Because most of us, as matter of
fact, know very little about the de-
tails of life insurance, and, as adults,
are too busy to learn, we have often
thought that a course on this subject
in the public schools would be 6
good thing.
To cooperate with our savings fol
mutual benefit is human brother
hood brought from the clouds dowr
to earth. The possibilities of insur
ance as a tool of democracy have
scarcely been touched. To ourselves
and to our children we owe to learl
how best we can make it work.

THE NEW CONTINENT.

What seems to promise to be one
of the most startling discoveries of
physical nature for a good many
years gained publicity on the ami
versary of the discovery of America.
That was no less than the finding
of a new continent within the Arctic
zone, north of Siberia. 1t had been
believed right along that this great
expanse was composed of water for
a brief summer and ice in the VIM
ter. 1t now develops that a conti-
nent as large in area as England,
Germany and France, has been lying
under the SHOWS Of the Arctic re-
gion ever since there were any SHOWS
in that section of country. Like
other bodies of land similarly placed
this is supposed to be very rich III
different kinds of mineral wealth
Anyway, it opens up to the Russian
government new fields for the eX
pIoitation of political criminals. Nc
doubt the mineral wealth of the new
ly discovered region will be testet
out, and if mines are opened, theI
the poor creatures who seem to hav'
fallen under the displeasure of tn
Russian aristocracy will be sent o.
there to work out their wretche
lives.

A TEST OF JUDGMENT.

Chicago has had two eminent citi-
zens named Field One had a genius
for buying and selling at a profit:
an amazingly keen scent for a bar
gain. He built up the largest mer-
camille business in the world and left
behind him fortune among the Big
gest this country has yet known.
But no child lisps lovingly the
name of Marshall Field. He had lit
tie time for children or for the things
in which children are interested. He
lived for dollars. For dollars and
for power.
The other Field had the most cas-
ual interest in money, but he would
journey far to see a rare book, to
talk with a quaint character" or to
play with a beautiful child His
home was full of children, friends
and toys. Where he went the young
sters liked to follow. And the
poems that he wrote, so whimsical,
so rich in soul lore, some will live as
long as English is read.
Eugene Field died property poor.
Above his grave is a simple stone.
He needs no more and would not
wish for ornate honors. But in the
city wherein he lived and did the
brightest of his work there are some
who feel that, for their sake, and as
a means of emphasizing the finer
values, more conspicuous monu-
ment should be built. They are in
viting others, who feel as they feel,
to help.
In way, it is an interesting test
of the peoples Judgment.

mill on each state levy was set
aside for the university and slight

expected to expand. The legislatures
since 1908 have at each session
passed bills providing such additional
room, but each time band of per-
