David Geer's Mother
By CLARISSA MACKIE


 "EdithI' Mrs. Temples voice cracked historically. She sat up straight in her chair and stared in credulously at the slim girl perched carelessly on a corner of the table. Edith slipped to the floor and patted her mothers chiffon shoulder with a capable-looking sun-browned hand.
 There, mother, don't bother too much about it-it isn't quite so bad as dying" she laughed pleasantly, but there was a hard gleam in her bright blue eyes,
 Her father regarded her in stunned silence. She suddenly whirled on him, impatiently.
 "Well?" she asked crisply. "What do you think about it, Mon Pere? The marriage of your only child to an hon est young man"
 My chauffeur he interrupted sternly.
 Poor, honest and handsome-you cannot deny that!"
 ilC IuSSCu. II yOu uic WILLIE to sacrifice your position in society," the loss of your friends-why, your mother and I will consent. You know that we want you to be happy and a well beloved wife, above all"
 Mrs. Temple was sobbing quietly, her proud white head bowed In her hands.
 The girl looked from one to the other, her mouth set mutinously. All her life these parents had denied her nothing, and now her rowing fancy had been attracted to the handsome young chauffeur. It was David Geer who had held himself aloof from the dazzling daughter of the house, but there came a time when social posi- tion, money and all the barriers of birth and breeding were forgotten. And now, Edith was asking them for consent to her marriage-a mesalli- ance which would startle society and make a nine days scandal for the public prints.
 "Well, dears," she said slowly, a curious little smile edging her lips,

JADE USED IN CHINESE RITES
Material Has Figured Conspicuously in Ceremonies There for Hun-
 dreds of Centuries.

Jade was conspicuous in religious and ceremonial use in China as far back as the Shang dynasty, IS cen turies before the Christian era. It was customary when an emperor came to the throne to give notice of the fact to heaven by means of tablets of jade inscribed with his name and oth- CT information considered necessary for record, says the Detroit News.
 On the longest night of the year the emperor was accustomed to sacrifice at the altar of heaven the t'ien-tan, gifts including jade, and to use in doing homage the green pi disk with central opening.
 At exactly the opposite time of the year he sacrificed to earth, using a yellow jade tube, the ts'ung; at the proper season in doing homage to the East the green tablet, the kuei, which was q flat oblong piece of jade, square at the top, to indicate the uprightness of his rule or pointed at the tip with various significations; to the South, the red tablet, chang, which was the pointed kuei divided down the center i; to the West, the white tablet carved in form of tiger, and to the North, the semicircular "black" jade, huang.
 It was required of the emperor or his deputy to wear the appropriate color in jade or other stone as 8 pend ant at his girdle. The green dragon presided over the east (spring), the red bird over the south (summer), the tortoise over the north (winter), the white tiger over the west (autumn) {; very naturally, for the tiger after 800 years of life turns white.

Eats, Then Goes Out to Eat.

Living under abnormal conditions because your wife is trying to reduce on some sort of an internal diet Is not what 1t might be cracked up to be-" complained MT. Detroiter to a neighbor the other evening. Well, seldom eat much but when I do eat I like to eat like human being, so every morning and every evening am compelled to eat two meals-one inhuman and one human. At home breakfast on nuts, fruits and berries and dine on fruits, berries and nuts. But the minute I am out of the house I steal away to a lunch room for my wheatcakes and coffee, or beefsteak with savory trimmings and a pot of ea."-Detroit News.

Mrs. Temples Voice Cracked Hys-
 terically.

q want to be happy-I want your consent, too, but"
 "You mean you will marry with or without it." interrupted her father dryly.
 "I never loved any one else" she admitted almost sullenly.
 You are willing to sacrifice much for his sake?"
 The blue eyes blazed. "Yes," she said quietly. I'm sorry it couldn't have been Peterby Ross or Marshall Fleming-but, dears, love is so er- ratic!" She bent and kissed her mothers white hair.
 The door opened and a footman en- tered. glaring haughtily at a short, stout woman who followed him closely.
 Mrs. Geer calling, madam" he choked and stumbled awkwardly from the room.
 Mrs. Temple lifted her head and gazed with languid surprise at the plainly dressed country woman who stood sQuarely in the middle of the room. MT. Temple placed a chair and wondered why the woman had not gone around to the servants en- trance.
 "Ne. thank you, sir, I won't sit down." she said in determined tone, and with hostile glance at the pale girl near the table. T came to talk to you about my boy David"
 "David?" The man and woman were startled into attention.
 "Yes, he's your chaffer-he wants to marry your daughter-he told me last night"
 'It is-impossible! broke out Mrs. Temple.
 Mrs. Geer nodded emphatically. q told him that-they would never be happy for a moment"
 Of course I would do my best for them.' began Mir. Temple heavily. as he saw Edith's bewildered face. "She is my only child and will, some day, inherit great deal of money-and that, in itself. brings responsibilities" i"
 More responsibility than happi- ness" said Mrs. Geef, sharply. "Pve told the boy he's fool-what's more.

Double Election
System Proposed

Continuous registration Of voters
and system of double election boards
to expidite counting of votes, will be
proposed in bills being drawn by Wal
ter H. Bergen, auditor of ST. Louis
county. Taken in connection with the
proposed election boards for cities of
$4,000, provided in a bill by Thomas
E. West of Minneapolis, the Bergen
bills furnish an entirely new scheme
for handling elections.
Mr.. Bergen proposes abolishing re-
gular registration days in the three
large cities. He would provide that
a registration made at one election
should stand unless a voter moves to
another precinct. Voters would reg
lister at that time at the office of the
city clerk, and the registration cards
would be indexed and locked togeth-
er by precincts for use of the election
judges, who would make necessary
identifications from the signatures on
the cards. He holds that this would
be saving in money and also con-
venience to the public..>
To expedite counting of votes, he
proposes that extra judges begin as
soon as SO votes are cast, opening the
ballot box while voting goes on in
another box. This is the plan in use
in Kansas. He also favors increased
pay for election officials.
