Ten Ponies for a Wife.

From the Century.
Among the Thibetans man mar
ries only one wife, whom he pur.
chases from her parents, belle often
costing as much as ten ponies and
thirty yaks. The price to be paid for
the wife is arranged by relative or
friend who acts as go-between, and
the only marriage ceremony is a
grand spree lasting as long as the
bridegroom can afford to keep it
up.
The life of a Thibetan woman in
this part of the country can not be a
hard one. She makes the tea, it is
true, but with that the housekeep-
ing ends; for no one ever dreams of
cleaning the kettle afterwards, and
everyone has to mix his own tsamba
and lick his bowl clean when he has
finished. Every fonr or five years she
may have to sew q new sheepskin
gown for herself or some of her fam
lily, but certainly not Oftener. She
can not herd the cattle or sheep:
men must do that, as there is dam
ger from marauders. She passes her
time spinning yarn, weaving a coasse
kind of cloth, out of which bags are
made, turning prayer wheel, and
destroying too voracious vermin.
Her toilet requires rearranging on
ly four or five times a year-when
she visits Kumbum or some other
fair; she never washes herself or her
garments, and her children can not
outgrow their clothes; they have on
ly to let out a little of the folds of
the gown, their unique garment, tuck
ed up arcnnd the waist, and it will
fit them until they are grown up.

MIGHTY GOOD READING.

MIGHTY GOOD READING.
From the democrat.
1t seems singular that toe new Pres
ident of the Missouri University
should come from Louisiana, the state
In which there is the largest rate of
illiteracy.
The difference between Sitting Bull
and Gen. Palmer is that the former
knows his career is ended, while the
latter persists in thinking there is
still y chance left for him.
Nebraska is the only State that
gains three Congressman under the
new apportionmeut, and it is to be
hoped that she realizes the fact that
she is expected to fill the places with
three republicans.
The Prohibitionists polled only 6S4
votes in Texas this year. They can
not fairly be blamed, therefore, for
having so decreased the Republican
vote as to cause the defeat of Col.
Webster Flanagan.
Edwards Pierrepont was the latest
of the Attorney Generals who could
be said to have possessed any especial
qualifications for the Supreme Bench,
and il is almost fifteen years since
he held that title.
The lesson of the recent Alliance
Convention at Ocala, Fla, is to the
effect that Republican farmers are
cordially requested to place their
votes where they will do the most
good for the Democratic party.

Mexico stands ready to agree to any
reasona BILE scheme of reciprocity, and
it is our own fault that the large in
crease of trade to be thus obtained is
withheld from US for the advantage

Joe MacKin Will do all he can for
Gen. Palmer, but he can not make
practical farmer of a professional
demagogue, and so the votes that
are to decide the Illinois Senatorial
contest will inevitably be cast against
him.
The success of Congressman Frank
in the appoin tmeHt matter will serve
to remind St. Louis that she made a
miserable mistake in not securing his
services for another term.
It would be much better for Kansas
IL Senator Plumb instead of Senator
Ingalls, were seeking reelection, as
in that case she would be sure Of
keeping both of them in her service.
No state loses any representation.

This fact, and the further fact that it
is a scrupulously fair measure, are
the reasons why there is so little OPP
position to it among either democrats
or republicans.

Another Outrage.

Sometime Monday Mrs. R. C. How.
ard went to Harris Theatre and pnr.
chased tickets Nos. and section G, in
the balcony, for the Thursday matinee.

sit together. Mrs. Howard took Mrs.
Liggins' ticket and her wn and ste pping
to the box Office aske ed that they be ex-
changed for three seals together not
further back than the third row. Three
tickets were handed to her which from
the large numbers on them she suspect
ed were further back than she wished
them, SO she asked and was told by the
impudent hirellng in the box Office,
yes, they are further hack than the
fifth row and if you don't take them you
wont get any" Mrs. Howard then
asked for the original tickets but was
told she could not get them as she had no
business with them and they were sold
to her under mistake. The money for
the tickets was showed through the win
dow and Mrs. Howard left the theatre.
OF course an idiot would know that the
whole cause for the trouble lies in the
fact that Mrs. Howard is an Afro. Ameri-
can. Mr.. Egan who represents the pro-
prietor of the theatre, said in the
Pioneer Press a few days ago that Col
ored peopl9 received the same treat

The great and good Jonesey OF

banquet of the Southern Society in due
Florida style. He made his speech but

press added insult to injury by deriding
Jones. They called him "the majah''
intimated that he filed up with roast
alligator and bad whiskey, and alluded
to the great but premature statesman in
flippant and irreverent language. The
age of chivalry is gone. When two Ken:
lucky gentlemen now meet and carve
each other, they command no more re-
spect than any other brutal cut-throats.

will. Last week Boright formulated the
document, and it was acknowledged be-
fore Notary Public, Rush c. Lake, wit
messed and duly signed, sealed and de-

came suspicious of the document. On
investigation he found it was warranty

Boright's favor, the consideration for
which was 81. He reported the matter
to Chief of Police, Speers. Last week

Boright; but he had gotten wind of the
Indictment and escaped.
