Humboldt county short time ago.

peating rife, big revolver and a knife
half as long as his leg. He proceeded
along the mountain trails with the
greatest caution, and appeared to be on
guard continually. knew there were
no hostile Indians in that country, and
my curiosity was aroused. Finally, at
ter he had stopped the pack mules Tor

Inquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt coun-
~ some years ago. and our guide, who
was married, had left a pretty sister
in-law In Sweden. The brothers talked
the matter over. and finally agreed that
the married one should send for the
girl, and when she reached this country
he would give his old wife to his broth
er and take his sister-in-law.
"The girl arrived in due time but
she was so much prettier than the un-
married brother had expected that he
was 10th to accept his brothers cast-off
wife. Finally he married the girl, and
then refused to compromise the breach
of contract by paying what his broth
er had expended in getting her to this
coast. A quarrel followed and the
guide pinked the brother in the shout

the hospital for three months. The
other vowed vengeance, and they do lit

her experience.
For many years" Mrs. Mather said, II

her cousin had been cured Of anamia in

prevent the frost from heaving or mis-

Select young. healthy and Vigorous

orchard. The different kinds of ap-
pies will depend upon your own choice

made from the old, tried and reliable

The distance apart should not be less

ROBERT FU1TON'S FlANCEE
What Betrothal Meant to a Girl Early In
the Century.

What Betrothal Meant to Girl Early In
the Century.
For Helen Livingston there remained
hardly one more year of happy girlhood,
free to go and come, dance and be mer.
ry, in the old innocent girlish fashion,
for at that time betrothal was as sacred
as marriage itself and much more re-
strictive of privileges. That is, the free
dom Of girlhood was lost and that of the
matron had not come. If the lover were
present, of course these restrictions were
not felt, but in his absence the poor girl
had little more liberty than Hindoo
widow. She must not accept even the
most ordinary attentions from any man,
must dance with no one except her fa-
ther or brother, and she must always
wear, conspicuously displayed, hanging
from her neck face outward, the min
iature of her future husband.
These miniatures were often skillful-
ly painted on ivory and were usually
oval in shape and about 3 a inches by
~ in size, without counting the gold
frames, which were sometimes quite
heavy. The broad remarks which it was
considered in order kSr even chance ac-
quaintances to address to the fiancee
upon sight of this badge Of appropriation
were intolerable to Helen Livingston,
and rather than subject herself to them
she resolutely refrained from accepting
an invitation even to her loved "Cousin
Chancellor's" during the few months OF
her engagement, which ended in hap
py marriage in the spring Of 1909.
On one occasion, when large and
most interesting company Of American
and foreign guests was expected at Cler-
mont, Helen vainly sought her mothers
permission to attend without wearing
the telltale portrait. Finding that this
would not be allowed and realizing that
her sisters disappointment would be
great. "Sister Patty" only 10, but al.
ready tall and stately, heroically volun-
teered to wear the obnoxious picture,
personating its rightful owner. But the
innocent fraud was not permitted. and
as Helen would not 20 IL obliged to
wear the miniature, she was compelled
to relinquish the coveted pleasure. o.
course the boy lover-he was barely 81
was in no way responsible for this
custom, which he subsequently often
and justly characterized as odious, and
I think that he never liked to see the
miniature which had been the means OF
depriving of ever SO small pleasure the
woman whom he idolized through a
long life. "a Group of American Girls
Early In the Century" by Helen Evert-
son Smith, in Century.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

After devoting several columns to
the consideration Of the Cuban ques-
tion the President really defines the
position OF the United States in one
paragraph in which he says:
When the inability of Spain to deal sue
cessfully with the insurrection has become
manifest, and IL Is demonstrated that her
sovereignty Is extinct In Cuba for all pur'
poses OF its rightful existence, and when
hopeless struggle for its re-establishment
has degenerated into strife which means
nothing more than the useless sacrince OF
human life and the utter destruction OF the
very subject matter of the confiict, situa
ton will be presented in which our obliga-
tions to the sovereignty Of Spain will be
suspended by higher obligations, which we
can hardly hesitate TO recognize and dis
charge.
Many people are of the opinion that
the conditions mentioned already exist,
but the undoubted purpose of the above
paragraph is to emphasized the only
conditions under which the United
States would be warranted in inter
fer1ng In the CuDan war;
The provisions of international law
are clear in such cases. The failure OF
power to put down an insurrection in
her own colonies after reasonable time
and effort calls for the intervention OF
other powers, the ones most nearly con-
cerned having precedence. When such
war brings about the slaughter OF
non.combatants or the destruction OF
property Of such other powers have
clear right to interpose and object to
further hostilities. The humane treat
ment of persons is also insisted upon
by the laws governing the waging of
war. Both these provisions have been
violated without number by the
Spanish forces. What undoubtedly
restrains President Cleveland from
taking decisive action is the fact that
up to date the Cubans have pursued a
course OF guerilla tactics.
Guerilla warfare is hardly recog-
nized in international law, neither can
a nation be compelled to follow the es-
tablished precedents in meeting and
combating such warfare.
But for this, together with the fact
that the Cubans have established no
stable civil government, T. there is no
doubt as to what course the President
would pursue. At any time such
changes in the situation may be
brought about as will remove some or
all of the obstacles now in the way OF
interposition on the part of the United
States. But until such time arrives
the only course to pursue il that indi-
Gated by the President in his message.

Plucking Fowls.

Plucking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished in this way: Az
soon as the bird 10 dead immerse IL in q
pail Of very hot water, the water to COW
or all the feathers One minute il usu-
ally long enough to keep the fowl under
hot water. Too long soaking il liable 10
diecolor the skin. After this hot bath
the feathers are 80 loosened that they
can be almost rubbed on. The bird is
then rinsed in cold water and wiped
with soft cloth. II should then be put
into cotton bag kept for this purpose
And hung In q cool place. When fowls
are not to be used at once, they should
always be loosely rolled in cloth or pa.
per to keep them from turning dark.
Ducks cannot be managed In this way,
as their feathers contain 70 much oil
that the water does not penetrate them.
