Tbe origin of gloves Is very ancient Some autborities assert that they were known in Bible times, from references made to "shoes" which were thought to be Identical with gloves. Tbe first clear account of gloves comes, how­ ever, from Xenophou. This writer speaks of the Persians wearing gloves on tbelr hands to protect them from the cold. Homer describes I.aertes working In bls garden with gloves upon bis bands to protect them from tbe thorns, and Varro mentions this apparel as being worn by the Romans. Gloves have been tokens of solemn and Important things from tbe ninth cen­ tury. They were adopted as a rite of the church, nnd later tbe transferring of lands or titles was always attended I with tbe presentation of gloves. In the eleventh century the method of challenging to single combat by throw­ ing dow a glove was instituted, and this custom still remains in some coun­ tries. Th« Dog Wai Going Fait.

Glacier National park Is situated In northern Montana, 200 miles northwest of Yellowstone park In an air line and 447 miles by railroad. It is under the control and supervision of the secre­ tary of the interior, who is represented In the actual administration of the park by a superintendent, assisted by a number of park rangers who patrol the reservation. The park is bounded on the north by the Canadian line, on the east by the Blackfoot reservation and on'the west and south by the Flat- head river. It has an area of about 915,000 acres and derives Its name from many glaciers which are scat­ tered throughout its area. There are eighty glacidrs between five square miles and a few acres in area. The park Is a rugged mountainous region and contains over 250 lakes, which are surrounded by steep and beautifully wooded mountains. ous.” How He Broke Into Literature.

Mr. Harrison listened as gravely to tbe presentation of her problem as if it concerned real individuals. Tbe next day he sent her a carefully and con­ cisely worded opinion, which she used in her book just as he wrote it. In the story it Is ascribed to “the attorney general" and Is referred to as "final authority.” Mr. Harrison was both surprised and pleased to see his own words used He expected that the novelist would wish to express his legal opinion in her own lanjkmge. “Thanks to George Eliot." he said, with a smile.
