WEDDING RINGS FOR MEN

So Say the Women if They Are Compelled to Put the Red Badge of Matrimony Before Their Names After Divorce. Man's Honor of Peculiar Quality.

MIlo Burden, the colored bully and terror of the negroes of Fountain City, met his Waterloo yesterday at that place when he attempted to pick a quarrel with his old time enemy Walter Braggs. The two men have been at loggerheads for years and have frequently been arrested for fighting. Burden and his father were at Fountain City attending a funeral yesterday and as soon as Burden saw Braggs he attempted to pick a quarrel. Braggs tried to avoid him, but was followed by Burden who Baid he wanted to talk with him. "I don't want anything to do with you," said Braggs. Burden said he wanted to give him a drink of whisky, to which Braggs replied that he did not drink whisky. "Why have you got your bands in your pockets, you had better not try to cut me," said Braggs. Burden then pulled a revolver, but before he could use it he was caught by the throat, and the hand holding the revolver was grasped. In the struggle for the possession of the revolver it exploded and the bullet missed a person who was standing near the contestants. Burden was overpowered and later taken to this city by Braggs and his father. He is now in the hands of the Ipcal police and. will be tried tomorrow morning if the desired witnesses can be procured by Prosecuting Attorney Allen.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I see," chortled the cynic, "that a movement is being started to compel divorced women to put 'Mrs.' before their names." "Well what of it?" said Sal. "An excellent idea," returned the cynic. "And promulgated to protect the men." "Yes, they need it!" vociferated Sal. "Passing lightly up the insinuation communicated by your peculiar tone I repeat that this is a good thing." "Why?" "Well-er " replied the cynic vaguely, "it will, as I say, protect men from fraudulent and designing females. You can't deny there are such." "I don't seek to deny it," replied Sal. "Most of 'em are that way about men." "There is something fascinatingly startling in converse with thee, my Sal," grinned the cynic. "Thou agreest with me when I least expect it but as I advance a step, as it were, I am yanked back two. Now I cannot entirely subscribe to the sweeping statement to the effect that all women are designing in their attitude toward our more or less delightful sex." "Oh, pooh and bah!" said Sal. "You make me tired. Why you know it's perfectly true." "With one exception hein?" "Sure! I wouldn't take the trouble and there is a sardonic minority with whom I could trot, so as tospeak. But it's a distinct minority." "In other words it's women's business to set traps for men " "Put it that way if you like," yawned Sal. "But it's the way most women up to a certain age spend the time in off hours. "What! In this day of the Suffrage societies, the Progressive Leagues, the Democratic Associations and the Republican annexes!" "What's that got to do with it?" inquired Sal. "Men are just the same whether they vote or not. It won't make women any different." "Besides I, for one, wouldn't have 'em different," continued Sal. "It would make everybody alike and there'd be nobody to scrap with." "On the other hand," murmured the cynic, "you wouldn't have anything to write about if the women were all alike and cared only for Democratic Associations." "Oh, well, anyway," said Sal, "I for one would put no ban on this movement. It'B not only protecting the men but the other women. "Look at Em. She kites round like an amateur and everybody who doesn't know thinks she's only seventeen when the fact is she was twenty-eight her last birthday and has been divorced tot eight years. But when we go out together and she's introduced as 'Miss' well, there you are," ended Sal lamely. "You don't mean to suggest, Sal dear," said the cynic, "that Em's peculiar fascinations would, under these

"why

'has a For a

circumstances, throw yours into the background." "Certainly not!" snapped Sal. "In the f rst place I haven't got any fascinations, and if I have they are of a different class from those sported by Em. But you know how Bhe goes on tee-heeing and giggling and working her eye-lashes " "Oh men always see through that!" said the cynic. "Oh, do they?" grinned Sal. "On the contrary they fall for it every time." "No, if Em was called 'Mrs. instead of 'Miss' when she was introduced to new people they'd turn her down for being such a fool. But she goes on the score of being a cute little thing and is excused because of her supposed youth and inexperience." "So there you are!" said the cynic blowing smoke rings to the celling. "Yes, there you are!" deployed Sal

but not with finality. "However," 6he went on, didn't you tell the rest of it?" "The rest?" "Yes about the men." "This movement," said Sal, sort of auxiliary or addendum.

second movement has been started to make the men wear wedding rings." "Indeed!" said the cynic impressed. "Yes," cried Sal triumphantly, "and for why? Answer me that Mr. Man?" "I confess myself completely in the dark," exclaimed the cynic. "Pooh!" sneered Sal. "You know well enough but that's the way the men all act when we get 'em up a tree." "But my dear Sal," expostulated the cynic. "I'm not up a tree. Either literally or figuratively. And certainly there would be no occasion for my wearing a wedding ring!" "Sure not but you've said it!" vociferated Sal. "That's Just it. You don't need to wear one because you aren't married. You can go philandering round eating behind palms to Hungarian orchestras and writing all kinds of letters to anybody you want to but still you wouldn't be deceiving them " "I hope not!" murmured the cynic in the famed sotto voce. "But look at the men who do and the women can't tell the difference unless they know it anyway." "My dear Sal pray, I beg, be more lucid. The men who do what and what's the difference the women can't tell the girls, I should say," he grinningly corrected himself. "It just amounts to this," said Sal. "How are you to know whether a man

is married or not when you meet him in his detached state off at a summer resort, you know, or some kind of a convention or a Chautauqua or er when traveling abroad " "I trust, Sal," said the cynic, "you are not in the habit of picking up random acquaintances on boats and er at these other places you so fittingly describe." "Sure!" said Sal cheerfully. "We all

do. That's half the fun going off on a vacation. "The trouble is these men always

pretend they're fancy free. They begin by looking meditatively at the purple distances and saying how much they have enjoyed these days of quiet companionship. When you lift your eyebrows and say there is nothing that you detest more thoroughly and fiendishly than quiet companionship they reach over and take your hand and hold it firmly and say "What do they say?" murmured the cynic curiously. "And say " grinned Sal. "And say?" repeated the cynic. "Well you're lots stupider than I thought you were if you don't know." said Sal. "Why how can I know," reproached the cynic, "when I'm not married. You yourself admit there's a difference " "Oh, of course," interrupted Sal hastily, "but the point is that if, when they're holding your hands, you know, and saying that if Fate hadn't played them such a sad trick and that we could ride away on the summer clouds to a land of pure delight, and that life without you was one, long, dun-colored nightmare and that if they only, only dared" "Just here is where they land 'sweetheart,' " grinned the cynic. "Why," said Sal scorning the interruption, "you would look down and on the third finger of his right hand you would see a plain band of gold why, then" "I certainly see your point although long delayed," said the cynic. "You would pull your hands away and dramatically exclaim " "Yes, very dramatically," purred Sal. "Men," said Sal, "haven't a bit of honor. The best man in the world will consider himself perfectly justified in making love to any woman who fixes his fancy. But if his wife would do the same thing he'd tear the roof off and break every window in the house. Even if he didn't care a cent about her. "His ideas of honor are peculiar. "He foams at the mouth if he thinks the thing he calls his 'honor' has been damaged by the inroads of some other male being but will go off to a summer

resort and make love for days at a j stretch and consider it a mere matter of personal privilege. Now if I " "Excuse me," said the cynic reaching for his hat.. "I think I hear my auto-horn."
