MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING
Jersey City Judge Rules In Favor Of
Girl Whose Intended Sought
Return Of SparI<ler.

There can be no Indian givers on
the Jersey side of the Hudson, so
ruled judge in Jersey City, writes a
New York correspondent. AS result
Of the decision a young swain is out
a $3.50 diamond ring, which he wanted
a blue-eyed, petite blonde to return to
him.
The two were engaged, and, according
to custom, he placed the sparkler in
question on her left hand. They then
quarreled because she, according to
his testimony, preferred the tango, jazz
and foxtrOt to sitting on a sofa and dis
cussing their future. Therefore he
broke off the engagement and demand
ed his presents back.
The judge was called upon to decide
whether an engagement ring was a
gift outright or merely a gift contin-
gent upon the fulfillment of promise
to wed. The court then arranged a
little Solomon judgment" skit that
worked to perfection, so far as the
Judge and the young woman were con-
cerned.

The Matterhorn.

The Matterhorn was the favorite
peak of those who "went in" for the
hazardous sport of mountain climbing
in the Swiss Alps. Now reports say
that there is no more mountain climb
ing being done. 1t is easy enough to
guess why, writes Niksah. For those
who went around the world looking
for hazardous occupations before the
war there is now no need to make ex-
tended search, to stop at expensive
hotels, or to hire a retinue of guides.
Nineteen nations offer the adventurer
more or less of salary along with
board, lodging and hospital facilities
for the pleasure of risking his neck.
No wonder mountain climbing has
fallen off.
There are those who say that it
will never again regain its old high
estate. They rather think aviation
will attract most Of the devotees who
survive the war. But your true noun
taineer laughs at such a suggestion.

doctrine of nonresistance. They are
the followers of Kaspar won Schwenk-
field, a German religious reformer of
the sixteenth century. He was an ad-
vocate of the Reformation, but his
views differed greatly from those Of
Luther. He did not found church as
it was inconsistent with his principles,
but after his death his followers held
meetings and different congregations
came into existence in various parts of
Germany, particularly in Silesia. They
suffered much persecution and many
left their homes. In 1884 81 families
emigrated from Silesia to Pennsyl-
vania and settled in Montgomery and
Berks counties. They have In this
country six churches and 1,043 mem
bers.

ward.
The other Arickara village sites
show no trace of contact with the
whites. No article Of metal can be
found in the most ancient locations.
Farther west, and up the Missouri
river, the excavations yield scraps of
copper obtained from the first traders,
from which the Indians made orna-
ments and, by twisting the thin sheet
copper into cones, arrow heads shaped
like tunnels which slipped over the
end Of the shaft of the arrow. An
occasional blue or red bead comes to
| light, or brass ball, or bits of look
ing-glass, or n knife. One old knife,
| found in a cache hole where it had
been placed a century or more ago,
safely wrapped in a buffalo robe, was
made in Sheffield and was one of the
knives sent out by the early Hudson
bay traders.
The village sites farther west are
more recent. On the Missouri river at
the place described by Lewis and
CIdlh III lllSll uluIy VI lIlS eAplOIulIOn
of the Northwest in 1905, "at the bend
in the river where the river flows
west" was large village with more
than one hundred lodges. In these
more recent villages are found brass
arm-bands and bracelets, as well as an
occasional steel ak or flint-lOck gun.
Their Domestic Life.
The bones in the refuse heaps show
the Arickaras lived on buffalo, deer.
antelope, elk, rabbit and wild fowl as
well as on corn, beans and pumpkins.
Parched corn has been found in the
lodges at every village site.
Only sunken circle of ground like
an abandoned circus arena, but far
smaller, shows where one of the lodges
stood. A five-famlly lodge, built with
big timbers, may yield part of cedar
post almost rotted away, despite the
comparatively dry climate. Each fam
lily had its cache-hole. or primitive
safety deposit vault This was Jug
shaped hole four to six feet deep, in
which valuables were hidden when the
family left home to avoid hostile In
dians or to- go on hunting trip. The
mouth of the hole was covered with
sticks and leaves, so as not to be dis
tinguishable from the surrounding sur
face.
The burial customs of the Arickaras
differed from those of the Sioux. The
Arickaras buried their dead in the
ground, while the Sioux left the bod
les of their dead, wrapped in skins, on
scaffolds or in trees. The Arickaras
buried from one to six bodies in a
grave, the body lying on the right side,
with the head to the north. Digging
was hard with the primitive imple-
ments these Indians had, so the graves
were small, and the bodies placed with
the knees drawn up. Scarcely any
grave contains anything but the skele-
ton. Little or no paraphernalia was
ever buried with the body, except an
occasional bead or band Of brass or
copper, showing the contact with the
fur traders. The earlier burial sites
yield nothing but bones. The graves
were three to six feet deep, and above
the upper skeleton were placed slabs of
cottonwood or ash or bundles of will
low twigs, to keep wild animals from
digging into the grave. Other Indians
used flat rocks for the same purpose

General Gallieni, who commanded
the Paris garrison at the outbreak of
the war, and ,afterward served as min
lister of war, once said:
Don't criticize until you can cor
rect" is his plea.
If everybody acted on this sugges-
ton the world would stand still, says
the Des Moines Register. 1t is criti-
cism which finally brings correction,
for even if the first criticism is wholly
destructive. it will set mems minds to
working, and somebody will find a
remedy.
There is poverty in the world, and
nobody has yet proposed plan which
will eliminate it. Therefore, shall we
keep still about poverty and fail to
criticize it?
Constructive criticism is better than
destructive, but to have neither is
fatal to progress.

How to Keen Your Friends.

1t is almost impossible to be genu-
mely friendly with a person who in
sists on being too close 10 you, on
knowing all your thoughts, feelings
and affairs, and on claiming your time
and attention on the excuse of affec-
ton alone, says the Woman's Home
Companion.
The bonds Of true friendship must
be easy and its demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls or you perpetually because
she has taken sudden fancy to you
Is blind and selfish egOtist, in u mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but If
you are polite and courteous per-
son you bear with her until she directs
her attention elsewhere. She will prob
ably tell the new friend that you are
very unresponsive." Some women
clutch at every new acquaintance and
then complain that they have so few
friends. The reason is that friendship
is not built on trivialities and whims,
but by giving such valuable things as
true consideration, real interest, and
manifeSting decent reserve as to the
other persons condolences and non-cOn-
tidings.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as.
tonlshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is SO com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root il
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fol
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure anc
mention this paper.-Adv.
