Love, Courtship and. Marriage Among
the Rowing Arabs.

The girls have little to do with select
ing their husbands. The men nearly
always fix that up among themselves.
A bold warrior sees n girl whom he
loves, in another tribe. He rides up at
night, finds ont where she is sleeping,
! dashes up TO her tent, snatches her up
in his arms, puts her before him on the
horse and sweeps away like the wind.
If he happens to be caught he is shot

has stolen the girl pays him visit in
| few days. The dervish. priest of the
tribe, joins the hands of the young man
and the girl. and both tribes Join in the
merrlment. All the bravCst men steal
their wives. but there are some who do
not. Their method is little different.

moonlight in the tropics is far more

eXtemporiZation is rs easy with them as

courtship only lasts a week or two. II
the girl is obstinate he goes elsewhere
and seeks to win another girl by his
songs and music. Sometimes the
fathers make up the match. but always
the girl is the obedient slave. Her re-
ligion, her people, her national instincts,
the traditions of her ancestors, all teach
her 10 be the slave of her husband.
The power of life and death is in his

The women of these people are mod

rarest thing in the world TO hear of con-
jugal infdelity. The women mature AT
eleven and twelve, and are old at thirty
five. When young they are very beau

flowing hair, and soft, languishing eyes.
They are passionate in their loves, but
after marriage all their affection is
centered in their husband. If woman

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
Grazing Lands.

A committee appointed by the Western
Central Kansas Stock Association, an
organization consisting of sixty stock
growers living ON the grazing lands of the
State of Kansas between the SMOKY Hill
and Arkansas Rivers, recently prepared a
petition to Congress asking for the dispo-
sition OF the Government grazing lands in
n manner that will be more beneficial to
the settler and the Government than the
present methods. The petition represents
that ''the Western third of Kansas, the
Western half of Nebraska, and large por.
lions of Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming,
Dakota, and Montana, are not adapted 70
agricultural pursuits, mainly for the reason
that the rains In this territorial area are
unreliable and untimely. This same area,
however, furnished subsistence for ages to
millions OF buffaloes, and it has been
demonstrated that it will also subsist
domestic herbiverous animals. Only in ex-
ceptiOnsl cases have agricultural pursuits
been followed with any degree of success
i'm this region, and what success has been
attained has been ACCOMPLISHED mainly by
irrigation. Settlers who took Homestead,
Presumption or Timber claims in the Coy
eminent grazing lands in Kansas, with a
view tn engaging in farming, have been
compelled either 20 abandon their claims
and leave the country, or change their
occupation To that Of raising live stock, OF
have become impoverished in their efforts
ut farming" Further: ''In n grazing
country, where people are wholly de.
pendent upon the growth of live stock, one
hundred and sixty acres are insufficient for
the following thereon of this occupation.
One hundred and sixty acres of grazing
land, producing mesquite grass, will main
tain only sixteen head of cattle or horses
Enough land for the maintenance of two
hundred head of cattle or horses is needed
for the independence Of the settler in a
grazing region. Practically -wo thousand
acres of land in grazing section are only
equivalent to one hundred aud sixty acres
in an agricultural section" The petitioners,
therefore, ask Congress for the passage of
law dividing the grazing area of the
United States into two thousand-acre
tracts, or tracts of four sections, each tract
subject to settlement under the same OF
analogous conditions imposed for the ac.
quirement of land under the Homestead or
Presumption laws.
