True Love i'm Greenland.

Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence of the natives
of Greenland, marriages in the far
North are celebrated by the repre-
ScntatiVeS of the church. In recent
issue of one Of the Danish papers
one of the missionaries gives the
following account Of the way
courtship and marriage are brought
about.
The man calls on the missionary
and says, "I wish to take unto nv
self wife"
Whom :' asks the missionary.
The man gives her name.
Have you spoken with her ."
Asa rule the answer is in the mega.
tive, and the missionary asks the rea-
son.

is so difficult. You must speak with
hcr.n
The missionary then calls the
young woman to him, and saws,
g think ii is time that you marry"
But" she reptile? " | do not wish
to marry"
That is a pity" adds the mis-
s'onary, "as l have q husband for
you"
Who is he ?' asks the maiden.
The missionary names the candi-
date for her love.
&" But he is not worth anything.
| will not have him."
However" suggests the mis-
sionary, "he is good fellow, and
attends well to his house. He throws
a good harpOon, and he loves you"

not accept the man as her husband.

sionary, | do not wish to force you.

though he looked upon the incident
as closed. But in few minutes she
whispers, " But if you wish it"
" No." answers the pastor, "only

overpersuade you"
Another sigh follows, and the pas

Your MOTHER-IN-LAw.-You
wish your wife to love your mother;
then you must show the same kindly
feeling to hers. Think it all out and
realize how close girl is to her
mother how she represents conso-
latiOn and wisdom to her; how she
goes to her with her grief and hap.
piness, and remember that you have
to be not only husband but mother,
for you must be so tender to her that
with her head on your breast and her
arms about you, she will tell her
troubles and her worries, her Joys
and her pleasures, and not only look
for but receive sympathy from you.
And when her mother is there, be
gentle and COnsiderate to her. She
has given you her companion and
little helper, and be sure there has
been many lonely hour to her since
that gay wedding day. SO remem-
hcr that you owe her thanks that
must express themselves i'm pleas
ant manner and courteous speech.

but making up our minds to care for
them will make affection come, and,

BISMARK SAID NES.-AprOpOs of
the marriage of the third son Of the
Duke of Argyll, it is related that
! when his affections became attached
to an untitled woman he felt bound
to ask the ola gentleman's consent.
The Duke answered that personally
he had no objection to the match,
but, in view of the fact that his eid-
est son had espoused daughter of
the Queen he thought it right to in
quire her majesty's pleasure on the
subject before expressing his formal
approval.
Her majesty thus appealed to, OBJ
served that since the death of the
prince cOnsort she had been in the
habit of consulting the Duke of
SaXe-Coburg on all family affairs.
The matter was therefore referred
to Duke Earnest, who replied that
since the unification of Germany he
had made it rule to ask the empe-
ror's opinion on all important ques-
tiOnS. The case now came before
the Kaiser, who decided that, as a
constitutional sovereign he was
bound to ascertain the views Of his
prime minister. Happily for the
now anxious pair of lovers, the
Iron Chancellor" who was then in
office, had no wish to consult any
body and decided that the marriage
might take place.

Divided the Furniture.

John Giesey of Kibbey is one of the
best known men in this part OF Montana
He was a freighter across the plains in
the days before railroads traversed the
country west of the Missouri river. This
morning his wife filed a suit for divorce
in the district court, through her attor-
neys, Lyter & Green, alleging that on the
9th day Of April Giescy assaulted her by
striking her in the back of the head and
neck with his fist, knocking her down,
and otherwise maltreating her. She
asks the court to allow her $50 Il month
during the tendency of the cause, and as
she has no money to pay counsel fees,
asks for $500, and further asks $50 for
expenses. She asks the court to see to
it that Geisey does not dispose of any of
his property or cucumber it to her
financial disadvantage, ct cctcra. The
plaintiff is Geisey's second wife, his first
wife having been dead several years. Mr..
Geisey was married to the plaintiff, who
was a dress-makcr in Great Falls, in
1898, and their married life evidently
has not been wholly without trouble
