 My friend" demonstrated the pale gentleman, "did you ever reckon up that if you had placed the price of one drink out at compound interest at the time of the beginning of the Christian era you would have $15, ,46O,2 ,2S4?''
 The red-faced, rumply-haired man raised himself on one elbow.
 "No," he replied. I haven't figured 1t out. But Pm something of a calcu- lator, all the same and if you don't go away about 137 yards in nine and a half seconds I'll hit you IT times and make you see 42, ,196 stars.

Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
KATE BARNARD.

When Oklahoma was a new state, Kate Barnard helped to plant 24 of the blanks of the constitution, had three of them named for her, and was elected to the first state office in the world occupied by woman-and this in a state where men did all the voting. Kate went to Oklahoma when a girl of 12, with her father; her mother was dead. She had very little sch Ooling, two or three years in a convent school. As Commissioner of Charities and Corrections of the State, her many duties included the charge of 325 jails, poorhouses, orphanages, rescue homes, and institu- tions caring for children, the deaf, the blind, and the insane. During her first three years of office she took 500 children out of the mines and placed them in schools. Her fight for the poor was one worthy of a brave woman.

0PERhTIC STAR WANTS WEDDING
 RINGS FOR MEN

Chicago, August 13.-Anna Fitziu. husbands should wear wedding rings as their wives do, and not run around like unbranded matrimonial maver- tcks as they do now.
 Miss Fitziu had few things to say on ths point when it was called to her attention that husbands in Brazil all wear wedding rings as badges of their married state.
 That's. just as it should be- said Miss Fitziu. q would even be in favor of a law compelling American hus- bands to wear a wedding ring. Many married men, nasquerading as sin gle, win the hearts of sentimental women, ever ready to confide and cling. Some married men are regular devils, you know-moSt of them in fact---and a wedding ring would brand these fellows for just what they are. That is to say, it would mark unmis- takab bly for all of us poor, trusting, women as married men ana many ru- tile romances, heart-breaking trage- dies and divorces would be avoided. Then if husbands wore wedding rings, 1t would double the wedding ring bus mess for the jewellers, and I know some terribly nice jewellers
 A dispatch from the Rio Janeiro says Brazilian women are satisfied with the equality between the sexes which the universal wearing of we'd ding rings produces and would rather have that sort of equality than the right as to the ballot.
