HARD WORK FOR CUPID.
Roumanian Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From Wedloek.

Sons From Wedloek.
The RoumaI.ian farmer doesn't think
much of matrn,ony. A bachelor hasn't
missed much, in his opinion. And
when his son gets the marrying bee
buzzing in his bosom the Roumania
dad is apt to take hickory club and
beat it out of the young mans system.
That's why the Roumanian youth
when he is in love never contides the
happy secret to his father. He goes
md tells his mother, for women still
believe in love and marriage, although
they lead from the altar to the wash
tub But the father has faced the mule
heels and the plow handles SO long In
his hard struggle to feed the hungry
mouths opened to him by marriage
that he has forgotten he was once
lover signing lovers tales. He is about
as much in favor of state wide matri-
mony as a sick boy is in favor Of cas-
tor oil.
So the son tells his mother. The
mother feeds father the best dinner
she can cook, and when the old man
is in a mellow mood she breaks the
sad news about their boy. If she is
skillful enough she wins his grouchy
consent, and be calls in his two best
men friends. These two 60 with his
son to the girls home. Perhaps she
has heard nothing Of the love affair,
but when she sees them coming she
gaesses what's up. Her father enter
tains the visitors, and II he let's the
fire go out it means he has taken this
method to turn them down cold.
Roumanian wives all have silk dresses
or silk shawls. Their husbands do not
buy the silk fof them; the women raise
It themselves.--Exchan =.

WEDDING RINGS.

Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings Of Egypt. =. n.
It was under the shadow of the pyra.
mids that brides first wore rings as
symbols Of wedlock.
In the early Egyptian home it was
the custom Of the wife to keep all of
her jars, closets and storerooms sealed.
A different seal ordinarily was used
for every door or jars containing Ger
tain foods. Preserved sweets, for in.
stance, would be sealed with one de-
vice and some sharp appetizer with
another. So the course Of time brought
the Egyptian woman q goodly number
Of seals. the special mark Of her wife
hood.
Then it became q custom for the
bridegroom on his wedding day to
present the future ,homemaker with
little string Of seals: In the beginning
they usually were suspended from an
ornamental chain about her neck, but
afterward it became the custom to car.
ry the keys on ON ornamental cord
around the wrist. And finally the keys
were attached to a woman's finger by
means of a cord or gold wire. This
naturally meant reduction in the num-
Der of seals, and some genius Of the
days of old hit upon the idea Of COM
bining the seal and the wire together,
from which we get the signet ring.
Such a ring was regularly presented to
the bride on her wedding day.
Things had reached this state of
progress when keys seem to have been
first used in Egypt to any great extent.
The coming of locks did away with the
wifely seals and her peculiar mark of
sovereignty in the home. By degrees
the signet ring went out Of fashion as
the special prerogative Of the bride
and was succeeded by plain band
ring such as every young lady Of today
expects to wear. Numbers Of these
plain and signet rings have been found
in the old tombs Of northern Africa,

The Milwaukee train pulled into Cal:
mar ut the same time that the Calmar
& Council Bluffs train reached there,
both running in the same direction. Be-
fore reaching the cross tracks where
the trains pass, the switchman gave
the DEBORAH train the "clear' signal,
and the train moved on. A second or
two later, the switchman signalled the
C. & C. B. train to stop, but the sig
nal was unheeded, and the train sped
on and crashed into the DEBORAH train,
throwing two coaches over. Very few
of the occupants of the coaches were
entirely unhurt, tho not more than two
or three were seriously injured. Mrs.
