Cheap for $1,000

A western young man visiting New
York city thought it would be fine to
buy his sweetheart's engagement ring
there. Entering a Fifth avenue store
he was waved from one lordly clerk
to another down a long aisle and at
last reached the counter where there
was parsonage who sold engagement

rings" said the distinguished one.

Our young friend liked their looks,
but was panied to learn they ran
from $4,000 to $1,000 apiece He adj
mitted, in some confusion, that he
wished something a little cheaper.

When Brides We're Bought

Wedding gifts apparently have de-
veloped from the earlier custom of ex-
change of gifts between bride and
bridegroom, in turn based upon mar
rlage by consideration, where the sutton
had to give to the father Of his in
tended wife a bride price or present
and the daughter was provided with a
dowry as a return gift.
The price for bride shows consid-
cradle variation, according to the
wealth of the interested parties and
the accomplishments of the bride
Among certain tribes a couple of pigs
or goats seemed to be sufficient cap
ital necessary for investment in one
good husky helpmate. Among the

Seven Hours Ouer Precipice

An unusual mountaineering fatality
is reported from the Italian Alps
Two tourists, man and woman
had set out from Trent to ascend
Mount Marmolada, and had almost
reached the summit when the woman
slipped and fell over the edge of the
precipice. The rope which linked her
to her companion did not break, and
with the utmost difficulty he was able
to make her fast to a crag He was
unable, however, to haul her to safety
and had TO leave her suspended in
mid-air while he sought help.
When he returned seven hours later
with a party of guides she was still
hanging by the rope from the edge of
the precipice, but she had been frozen
to death.

Jack put in. "She stored up lot of

by pulling our worthy Frank out of the

avoided reference to the pledge that

Child ADOPTION

America leads the world in the liber-
atty of her adoption laws. Under
French and German law, only those
may adopt who are over fifty years of
age, and at the time OF adoption have
neither children nor legitimate de-
scendants. England has no law by
which one may adopt a child. In
America, any decent man or woman
capable of giving proper care to de-
pendent child may bind child to them
by legal ties as strong as those of
blood.
There are in the United States to-
day $4,000 children in orphan asy-
Iums and allied institutions. There
are 100000 dependent children alto

Queen Was Thrifty

Isabella, the tragic queen. wife of
Edward I'll, was apparently thrifty
queen, for in the records at the Brit
ish museum may be found her budget
book, in which she recorded among
other things that she had paid 20
shillings to a poor man whose house
had been burned down and other
items, such as paying for the binding
of black carpet and the lining for
her chariot. Most homely of all
charges is the one showing sum paid
out for repair 10 the bath. She was
extravagant in some respects and quite
generous to the poor and unfortunate.

out to meet us. He was tall and slim

corduroy trousers and a belt, and he
took off his hat when he saw the girls.
