The people in school district No
are all torn up about school mat
tiers. An alteration made in the
boundaries of the district some time
ago made it necessary to change the
location of the school house. While
parties in the district were moving
the house, olandestinely, across the
farm of Mrs. Tigh, without as much
as saying to her "by your leave, :"
they were halted by the Tigh boys.

coed, and as they were net the kind
to take The back track when once

parties have employed counsel,

HE NuPTIAL KNOT.
Seven Separate and Distinct Ways In Which
1t Can BE Tied.

Seven Separate and Distinct Ways In Which
1t Can BE Tied.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the diff
ferent modes varying from one dollar to
one thousand dollars. The least expen-
sive-and the one seldom adopted, eK-
cept in cases of elOpement-is that at
forded by the Justices office. There a
couple can be firmly united in the space
of a minute for small sum. 1t is Gus
tomary for a groom to dress as he may
please when the marriage is to be per-
formed by Justice, and a dress suit
would be sadly out of place in the musty
law-office. The one great advantage Of
the justice-shop marriage is its cheap
ness.
AS some people object to being mar
ried by justice of the peace, preferring
the sanction of the church in addition
to that of the law. the young people
may visit parsonage instead OF JUS
tees Office with tho same preparation.
The ceremony may be fully as informal
when performed at the minister's home,
the only difference being that not less
than three dollars, and, better still, five
or ten dollars, should be paid for the
service, although there is no fixed sum
charged. The most popular ceremony
among people who do not class them
selves as in society" and also
among many who do. is a quiet
home wedding, where the bride is
attired in a suit of plain white or
travelling dress, and the groom in plain
black or brown business suit, where only
a few friends and relatives are present
The affair is informal. perhaps a modest
supper or lunch being served after the
ceremony is performed, and the entire
expense to the groom being covered by
twenty dollars, or even less. This is
the most popular ceremony, and this is
the way in which fully twenty-five per
cent. of young people are married.
Next in point of favor and iDexpen-
siveness is the informal church wedding,
being similar in all things, except that
the service is performed within tho
portals of the church. II the affair IS
strictly private, the bride and groom
may be unsupported, or have brides
maids and groOmsmen, as they please.
In the latter case, full-dress suits should
be worn, increasing the expense. The
''full-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed
at home, is next in favor. Elaborate
troussesu, full-dress suits, bridesmaids
and groomsmen, flowers in abundance,
and host of invited guests are the
requisites, followed by reception, feast
or lunch, as the contracting parties may
desire.
The seventh, and last, and most popu-
lar, is the full-dress affair performer IN
the church. Among people who desire =
to create a stir in society this Is the
fayorite. 1t is expensive. and IN many
cases unsatisfactory. - Ladies Home

Coast skipper.

a Good Yarn Spun by Truthful Pacific
Coast skipper.
The funniest thing out happened to
me on the last passage to Honolulu. 1t
happened in this wayi We have pat
ent self-registering log. The register
is attached to the tafFrail, and the pro-
peller IS towed astern. We had about
300 feet of line out. 1t was just about
seven bells, and the Bessie was going
about six knots. Presently the log-line
became as taut as wire stay, and there
was terrible furry near the propeller.
l happened to be on deck, and, seeing
the trouble, ran to the taffrail. What
do you think l saw? Why, I'm blamed
if great big blue shark hadn't swal-
lowed the propeller. l called some
hands aft and we started to haul in the
line. There were seven hands pulling
on the line beside myself, and yet we
had hard time pulling the fish in.
But, by thunder, sir. we hauled $50 feet
of that line in, until the shark was right
under our counter. He was quite 80
feet long, and in terrible rage, lashing
the water into foam. We were just be-
ginning to think that we could get him
on board, when the line snapped, being
bitten through by the shark. just
think of it, however, pulling a shark in
$50 feet on a log-line. and he did not
bite it until within 20 feet of the taft
rail! OF course, by losing the shark we
also lost our propeller, but it must have
been pretty hard to digest and his in
side must have been pretty sore from
the strain.
The funniest part of the thing was
the action of the register. When the
weight of the shark got onto the line,
the blamed register showed a speed of
go miles an hour, with only six-knot
breeze. Well, sir, when the mate looked
at the register first, and then at the
sails, he nearly tainted. 1t was not for
several seconds that he realized there
was SO much dead weight on the rope

THE FIERCE SOMALS.
An African Tribe Whose Members Are
Natural Born Fighters
The Somals are ''kittle cattle" to deal
with. Armed to the teeth with spears,
daggers clubs, they are equally skillful
and reckless in the use of them. The
men live to fight and to talk; what work
gets done is done by the women. Tribal
wars are inceSSant, sanguinary social
quarrels are of every day occurrence, and
if death seldom ensues it is because the
clansman on either side are Jealous to
separate the cOmbatants before the fine
for homicide, borne in common by the
relatives of a manslayer, is incurred.
Camel driving is about the only form Of
masculine industry, yet it does not ap-

agreeab v occupy greatdeal of it; and
his portentOus and inexhaustible loqua-
city is often INDUCED at the expense Of
sleep.
Ethnologically, the Somals may be de
scribed as Arabized Gallas. Although
not aboriginal, since traces of a prior
tumulus building and fsh-eatlng peo-
pie abound near the coast, they have
probably occupied their present territory
for some millenniums. Indeed a typical

stituted for a partial clothing of skins
(which even now surv yes among some
of their outcasts) the dignified ''sagum

nat onal costume is perhaps the most

AhtIfltr Beflrcthr,
WHAT A WOMAN GAN DO.

There's poet who sings
OF the wonderful things
That man with his might and his knowledgC
gets through;
But wish TO rehearse
In a jingle Of verse,
a good many things that a woman can do.
II distressed you appear,
She can comfort and cheer,
Dispelling the trouble that made you look blue
She is born 10 console
Any suffering soul;
This is one Of the things a woman can do.
She can talk like book,
She can wash, sew or cook,
She can take shabby garments and make them
look new;
And TO keep house neat
Cheerful, healthy and sweet
Is another good thing that woman can do.
She's wonderful trick
When she nurses the siCz
And as mute as a shadow her tasks she'll pur-
sue.
As an angel to cheer,
She can stand without peer;
is one OF the things that a woman can do.
In good many ways
She's entitled to praise;
In good many others-to give her her due
She's little bit wrong.
To continue my song,
will name other things that woman can't do.
] suppose you will own
That she can't throw a stone
With possible chance Of her aim being true,
And the pencil she'll point
VIII look out OF joint;
1t is one % those things that u woman can't do.
If she goes TO the play,
In the night time or day,
The hat she will wear hides the stage from your
view;
And to think those behind
To look on are inclined
is one Of the things that woman can't do.
II she goes out to spend
A few hours with friend
She can't keep her tongue still minute or two.
And no note she'll address
Is without its p. S.
For that's one Of the things that a woman can't
do.

an empire. He is the one modern figure
