IN six counties In four states the

The innocent parties TO these dis-

minute the imaginary line between i

Perhaps the custom of wedding

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
aPoLTRooN."

a T THE time of the drafts
n during the Civil war and
the World war there were few
men who attempted to avoid
compulsory military service by
cutting Off their trigger or first
finger, arguing that this would
prevent their being mustered In.
to the army. On no less an au-
thority than Archbishop Trench.
a deep student Of English, We
find that similar practice was
responsible for the introduction
into the language of the word
"poltroon" as synonym for ar
rant coward.
..In olden times" states the
archbishop. "a standardization of
this description was not .nfre-
auent on the part of some cow
ardly Sinking fellow who wished
to escape his share IN the de-
Tense of his country. He would
cut off his right thumb, become
incapable Of drawing bow and
thus useless for the wars. II
was not to be wondered at that
Englishmen should have looked
with extreme d.sdain upon one
who had SO basely exempted
himself from service nor that
the Latin phrase police truncus'
-'one deprived of his thumb
later shortened to the two-syl-
tabled 'poltroon," should after
ward have become a name of
scorn affixed TO every base and
cowardly evader of the duties
and dangers of life"

MEMS WEDDING RINGS.

WI I'm - w EDDlNu hSA4S'
rs HE Brooklyn Eagle, which reports
1 most things accurately and We'll,
published the news that In Its city
tile use OF wedding rings for men y
gaining rapidly In popularity.
This is interesting and important II
1t means that men are coming to take
the marriage ceremony and its VOWS
more seriously and that the divorce
rate Is as a consequence TO cease In
Its upward trend.
The wedding ring Is a relic OF saw
agery II is probably a descendant OF
the metal bracelet and chain by which
tile earlier tribes of men assured them
selves that their spouses would NOT
wander away from the house domicile
while the master of the house was
| away hunting.
| Some more engaging wife, having
convinced her husband of unquestion-
able fidelity, was rewarded oy having
4
the chain done away with altogether.
The ring by itself showed that she
was married. The absence of the
chain said, Here Is an exceptionally
fine Wife, That fiattered and pleased
/ both parties.
But IL the modern woman is ex-
/ pected to wear wedding ring and
advertise her married position, what
good reason Is there why the husband
should not be marked in an equally
4 prominent manner and his limitations
of freedom equally advertised?
An old custom of the marriage cere-
mony consisted of putting the wedding
ring first on the thumb, then on the
first finger, then on the second, speak
Ing the names of the Trinity as the
ceremony proceeded, and, finally, when
1t rested on the third finger, 1t was
supposed TO signify that next t. her
duties to God the wife recognized her
duties to her husband
OF course, it ought not to require a
ring or any other form of emblem to
make a man or a woman hold sacred
the VOWS of the altar. If a thin band
of gold or platinum Is all that re-
strains either one of them from wan
. dering, then the divorce court is not
very far away.
To most women the wedding ring
is a very sacred thing 1t is the last
thing that goes to the pawnshop when
adversely demands its toll. Just how
much it means to the men, who In
accordance with the new custom will
wear it, is a question that only a test
! will settle.
The question of divorce IN this coun
try is fast getting to be of such dimen.
. sions as to demand serious corrective
! attention.
In twenty years the number of di
vorces granted annually has increased
, from about 10000 to $4,000 with {
total in the twenty years of nearly
two millions.
In Nevada there are almost as man,
divorces as there are marriages, but
since Nevada has been the resort q
many citizens from other states seek
Ing freedom from marital ties. 1t ma,
