young lady pa Sixth street the other day as she and a lady much older passed the window' of a small store whose nature was advertised by three large gilt balls overhead. "They are black. I never saw black rings before. And look at that one. It's flat and set with silver stars.

And there's another with a little gold plate. Are they mourning' "No," said the old lady. "They are not mourning ringf. They are reminders of that awful war." "Why, what did they have to do with the war?" asked the girl in astonishment. ''Rings like those were mode by the Confederate prisoners here In St.

Louis," said the old lady; "There were many prisoners, hundreds at a time, locked up In the old McDowell college at Eighth and Gratiot, and In the old Lynch prison for slaves, at Broadway and Clark ave nue. Tour grandfather was In McDowell's college, and the habks of the Inmates became pretty familiar to him before he got out. Most of the prisoners were captured 1 the field, with nothing in the world but the clothes they had on, and those were often very ragged. The government supplied clothes for such oh neefleli them and benevolent people jn the city, both northern and southern sympathisers, sent great bundles of clothing to the prison, but some of those poor fellows were so proud that they wouldn't wear the government and said they'd die In their rags before they'd wear charity garments. 'So they made rings.

"The guards were permitted to buy gutta percha buttons tor them, and they were allowed, by special permit, little pocketknlyes, that were gathered up by the guards every, night and Issued again In the morning, and ail day long they would and whittle the tough buttons, making rings like those, and rounding them and polishing them by rubbing them against the walls and on the floor. unmetimea took a man two or three days to make a ring. Then the Union soldiers would sell them 'or the prisoners, and there was a Kooi sale for them at a dollar apiece, some i those silver sets were made out of dimes that the prisoner hammered until they were as thin as paper. I suppose that gold set may "nave come from a bit of watch chain or something like that. i "The southern Rlrl all wore them for a while." The two went on.

A day or two after the young lady was passing the store window with a companion and thought the rings and the story. "Let's go In and buy one for a keep sake," she said. But the rings were not in the window. The two went Into the hop. "I'd like to look at some black rings you had In ypur window." "They're said the proprietor.

"An old lady came In and bought the whole lot." DOGS' SAGACITY. The adventures of a shepherd dog belonging tp a man at Smltltvllle, throw I'fht on the probem where the Intellectual border line lies between man and the animals, says the New York Bvenlng Post. Of course, the question involved Is largely one of definition. Rut while the psychologists are endeavoring lo agree on what Intelligence la. thla dog story serves to Indicate that the real difference between man and rute creation Is that while animals have conscious ness the human being alone possesses self consciousness.

And by virtue of this superiority he Je at once stronger and weaker than his humbler fe)ow creatures. The Smlthvlh? dog went rabbit hunting all by himself.

As a strong current was running at the spot he would soon have been drawn under the Ice had not two men come along In a buggy at the critical moment. They dared not get oujt on the thin ice to kelp him, but relying on his Intelligence they threw a rope to him. The dog took a steady hold of the line with his teeth and let himself be pulled to safety. Had he been, a man then his first thought would probably have been Of the death he had so narrowly escaped, even If he had remained calm until then a back surge of fear would probably have swept over him. of the day's hunt no thought have hftpn Iffft in Ulm tnlnil The dog merely shook himself a few times before he resumed his quest for rabbit's meat.

The danger past, it had also passed wholly out of his consciousness. Conscious only of what was, he could neither be fired nor de. terred by any though 0 what might have been. And once millions of years ago, man might have been like that dog. Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured In Three Days.
