GIadiators of Old.

A man who had once been a gladiator
was always regarded as disgraced. II
a combatant were vanquished, but not
killed, the people decided his fate
turning down their thumbs when they
wished him to be killed. Contestants
were taught the postures to be assumed
in falling and in dying. and such food
was eaten as would thicken their
blood in order to give the spectators a
more leisurely view of their death.
Combats Of gladiators continued un-
til the reign of Honorius, first Chris
tan emperor, in 404 A. D., when Tele-
machus, a monk, rushed between two
adversaries at Rome and by his self
sacrifice Occasioned the decree for their
abolition.

The custom of giving engagement
rings ranks back to long before the
Christian era. With the ancient Egyp-
tians engagement rings were always
Of iron, to indicate the mutual sacri-
fee of liberty of the contra citing par
ties. One Of the very earliest adorn-
ments of betrothal rings was load
stone. which symbolized the attractive
force which drew a maiden from her
own family circle into that of her hus-
band. 1t is believed that the fourth
finger has always been the brides ring

The Holbrook News and the
Snowflake Herald take issue with
the editor on the matter Of the
women voting at the bond cleo
ton. They claim if the women
had been permitted to vote the
bond majority would have been
larger. They miss the point.
In sections of the county where
the sentiment of the community
was in favor of the bonds the
women were permitted to vote
and no questions asked, but in
Winslow, where the sentiment
was against the bonds. the cleo
tion boards were notified not to
let the women vote unless their
names were on the assessment
roll. The surprising feature is
that even an election was per-
mitted to be held in Winslow.
The only use the east side of the
county has for this city, appar-
emily, is to use it for a meal tick
