one, and should not be missed by
any basket ball fan in the city.

ADOPTING CHILDREN.
1t is Something to Think of for PEG.
pie Who Are Passing Into
Old Age.

Something over a year ago the
picturesque story became public of
the adoption by Mr.. and Mrs. Finley
j.. Shepard, of homeless waif, who
from being merely John Doe No
104, became the heir to the former
Helen Gould's millions. Within a few
days it has come out that the She
pards are entertaining three more
little wanderers and may adopt
them.
1t is not often that our million
aires open up their homes to pathe-
tic little outcasts like this. The de-
mands of restless youngsters might
keep them ut home from their socie-
ty and their sports. They have no
room in their hearts for child love-
People who adopt waits are apt to
be simpler type, persons who are
rot occupied with the society tread
mill and who feel the loneliness OF
childless homes.
Most people would as soon take a
full grown bear into their homes rs
live and kicking orphan. 1t is not
merely the labor of washing and
dressing, nor yet the cost Of filling
their hungry little mouths. 1t is
more the fear lest bad blood tells
and they go wrong.
Yet the charity workers say these
children are apt to come out well
Plenty of young people reared in
their own homes, who had the very
best descent, deliberately take the
downward path. The moral average
of the adopted may compare very
tavorably. Once these youngsters are
carried by the critical age all is we'll.
and good schools and home love
make up for many defects in inheri-
lance
Many wealthy people are passing
their failing years in lonely bitter
ness. They have never given out any
personal affection, so have nothing
coming back to them. Could they
but have taken in one or two friend
less youngsters as the Shepards have
done, their lives would be full of
sunshine. 1t is something to think
of for people who are passing into
old age without any young life about
them.

The New Vogue in Wedding Rings.

The commonly accepted heavy
wedding ring has been superseded
by fashions edict for the bride OF
this year. The new wedding ring is
in thickness and width similar tc the
style favored for several years, but
it has a richly worked surface in the
form of wreath of orange blossoms
The Saracens originated the GUS
tom of using the fragrant blossoms
of the orange trees to typify the we'd
ding nuptials. The Crusaders
adopted this custom from the Sara
Gems, bringing it to England, from
whence it descended to us. The new
wedding ring is bound to be a ia
vorite because it perpetuates this
ancient and beautiful sentiment.
Still another rev style of we'd
ding ring bears wreath of hand
chased myrtle. In ancient times
myrtle was a plant sacred to Venus,
| the goddess of love and beauty, so
again the symbolistic meaning is
lsingularly appropriate.
Upon the hand of the bride of
wealth and fashion the generous bus
band may now place a jeweled we'd
ding ring set with a partial circlet
of pure white diamonds, the rest of
the band being chased with the
orange blossom design.
Some of these designs are worked
out in high-grade yellow gold, 9th
ers in green and yellow gold, AID
Istill others in gold overlaid with

Iowa May Pension Teachers.

The Thirty-seventh general assem-
bly, of the Iowa state legislature will
have>many bills on which to pass
during the next three months, and
among those Of far-reaehing signifi-
canoe, is the proposed teachers per-
sion bill.
The sentiment for a teachers pen
sion bill has been growing through
out the state. In the last session the
bill lost by only two votes in the
house. The bill in brief is as fol-
lows-Any teacher who has com
pleted twenty-five or more years of
service and who has reached the age
of 80 years may retire on a pension
of $500 year.
Any teacher who has complete 4
twelve or more years of service in
the state and is mentally or physic-
ally disqualified from further contin-
uance Of the work may retire on a
life annuity of SIP a month for each
and every year of service.
Each teacher on retiring, either
on completion of term of service Or
for disability, shall pay into the per-
manent. school fund the sum OF $500
which together with gifts, grants and
requests is to constitute "A separate
fund known as the teachers anna
ity fund"

Where the Gold Comes From

This country has added about
$500, 100000 of gold to its stock IN
the last two years, but in that time
the world has produced twice that
amount in new gold. Just about a
billion dollars worth of gold is add
ed TO the worlds stock every two
years.
1t seems like a big store, and it is.
Yet the wheat crop of this country
is worth this year more than the
worlds gold production in the last
two years-a good deal more. This
country's cotton crop is worth nearly
twice as much per annum as the
whole worlds gold crop. Our corn
crop is worth pretty nearly four
times as much as the whole world S
gold.
