Maud Cole was born in the
western part of Pennsylvania on
June %, 1862, and departed this
life April 26th, 1895, at her home
near Duncan.
Deceased grew to womanhood
in the State of her birth, and came
to Dakota with her brother in
1888. In the pioneer days she
was known as one full of life and
possessing a happy and contented
disposition. She was a general
favorite with all who knew her.

ness yet with the constant care of
him the germs of the dread dis
ease became fastened in her system
and with hereditary tendency in
the same direction the result was
finally fatal.
On October 10th, 1887, she was
again united in marriage to
Charles W. Blackney who still
survives tc mourn her loss. As
Mrs Elackney has she been most
tamiliarly known to us. She has
been Q kind neighboy, and has
borne the misfortunes and hard
ships of Western lite with courage
and patience, always hoping for
the best. During her sickness md
suffering she looked on the bright
side of life and often talked OF
what she would accomplish when
again well. For a time it was
thought she was improving aud
hopes were entertained for her
recovery, but the last week or two
it was noticed that she was feeling
worse and she steadily became
weaker until the end came, al
though she died before it was ex.
pected.
A large number of friends were
present at the funeral which was
held at the house Sunday, April
2Sth, at II o'clock, conducted by
Rev. Penwell. The remains were
inferred on the farm by the side
of her first husband.

The Bicycle Fever Spreads Am0oG the
Last Of the Slashpeea.
The last Of the Mashpee tribe Of In
dians have taken to bicycling. and il
Secretary Lamont really has any de-
sire to keep his western red men
peaceable and happy he should send
an expert down here to study the
effect Of the bicycle on the Cape Cod
Indian.
Long ago the Mashpee Indians pos
sessed all the Great Neck on this reser-
vation. The largest remnant of the
tribe to be found in New England,
west of the Penobscot river, lives here.
They are attractive to summer visitors.
especially to the fishermen. because
they know where the biggest fish arc
to be found Although they once were
good fighters, it is . long time since
they have shown any warlike inclina-
tions. Some of them have mingled the
red mans blood with that Of col.red
settlers by intermarriage.
Hitherto the Mashpee bucks have
been content to stick to hunting and
fishing. with little agricultural labor
now and then. while the women told
fortunes, raised pappooses and made
sweet-smelling grasses into baskets to
be sold to summer visitors. But .
change is in progress. The bicycle has
invaded Mashpee. Usually the Indians
make good profits Of the summer aud
fall seasons, but this year. il every body
who wanted one had been able to &C.
cure bicycle. the cash results from
the hunting and fishing season might
have suffered.
For miles around natives and summer
residents have been accustomed to
meeting Indians, wheeling briskly over
the sandy roads, through the country
their ancestors bartered tor the pots
and hatchetS No doubt some of the
ancestors of these bicycle riders were
swift-footed runners, who carried mes
sages from the Indian chiefs to the
Pilgrims and Capt. Miles Standish ut
Plymouth.
The Indians make capital riders. and
catch the fever as quickly as do white
men. They have not come yet, how
ever, to knickerbockers, Norfolk coats,
Scotch golfing hosiery and bicycle caps
Long trousers, dark flannel shirts and
broad brimmed. dark hats are becom-
ing to the tall, swarthly men. Only .

maids. After the marriage ceremony
the bride is conducted to her new
home by the relatives Of her husband
and the groom in placed in charge Of
his wife'e people. The Kirghese, some.
times called the lords Of the steppe,
erc very fair towards their young
women. II girl objects to the youth
who wants to marry her she has che
right to challenge him to foot race
which is conducted on such . basis
that she can easily escape, as the SYM
pathy Of the crowd usually is with the
maiden.
But the material supplied by my in
formant is SO voluminous that could
fill column after column with interest
ing details Of primeval courtship; and
l might AZ we'll close here and devote
few paragraphs to the symboltcal
customs in vogue in different lands.
Not SO very many years ago betroth-
Eent was recognized by the laws OF
most European countries. These en-
actments, whose penalty was excom-
munication, have, however, been re-
pealed. Instead Of being made .
social outcast the man who now re-
fuses to marry girl after having
plighted his troth becomes defendant
In . breach-of-promise suit.
Betrothment in all civilized coun-
tries has always been sealed by a
pledge. In Turkey and other Moham-
mcdan countries the groom-to-be
sends to his prospective bride . gold
aInulet which is worn around the
neck. In China red cards are ex-
changed in token of an engagement.
The ancient Romans exchanged rings,
q custom which has been adopted by
all civilized nations.
Moltlavia, a province Of the kingdom
OF Roumania, is the home of the time
honored custom of throwing grain Mt
rewly-married couples, which is equiv
alent to expressing q wish for their
prosperity. Another custom prevail

her new home in the presence OF the as

willing to assume the duties OF !

fact, it has proved itself Of great value.
as It enables me to present to the
readers Of this paper facts in condensed
form whose collection has cost many
thousands Of dollars.
Marriage among primitive people.
according to my informant, is purely
business transaction. The natives OF
southern Siberia, for instance, buy
their wives from the parents, paying
for them sums ranging from twenty to
seventy five dollars, according to the
physical attractiveness Of the girls.
Among the Tartars the same custom
prevails, but the brides are more valu-
able, some commanding as much as one
thousand dollars. A still more simple
way of wooing is that Of the Tchukt-
ches, . Siberian tribe, among whom
the would-be groom serves his prospec-
tive father-in-law for q certain num-
Der Of years, according to agreement,
like Jacob served Leban in patriarchal
times.
A wedding in Corea il described as
unique ceremony. The groom,
clothed in . gorgeous gown hired for
the occasion, is preceded by his best
man who carries q goose in his arms.
The procession marches toward q
small table before which the groom
bows profoundly. Then he relieves his
attendant of the goose, whose feet are
securely tied, and sits down. Soon
afterward the bride, chaperoned by two
elderly females, makes her appearance.
Her face is painted white, with CHASTITY
red spots on the forehead. on each
cheek and on the lips, and her eyes
are sealed. She is led across o large
mat in the center Of the room. At the
end Of the apartment her attendants
place Q white handkerchief over her
clasped hands and lead her back to the
mat. At this moment the bridegroom
is supposed to appear at the other end
of the mat. The bride salutes him by
raising her arms to the level of her
eyes and bowing three times. This
greeting il returned in kind by the
groom. Then they sit down at oppo-
site ends Of the mat, and the goose
an emblem Of iidelity-is released after
having been fed by an old woman.
This completes the ceremony and the
twain are one.
