"The aueerest feud ] ever heard Of, "

while hunting in southern Humboldt
county. / noticed our guide carried
repeating rife, big revolver and a
knife half as long as his leg. He pro-
ceeded 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 / asked him what the
trouble was.

Inquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt some
years ago, and our guide, who was mar
ried, had left a pretty sister-in-law in
Sweden. The brothers talked the matter
over, and finally agreed that the mar
ried one should send for the girl, and
when she reached this country he would
give his old wife TO his brother and take
his sister in law.
"The girl arrived in due time. but
she was 80 much prettier than the un-
married brother had expected that he
was loath to accept his brothers cast of
wife. Finally he married the girl, and
then refused 90 compromise the breach
of contract by paying what his brother
had expended in getting her TO this
coast A quarrel followed, and the
guide pinked his brother in the shout

1T HELPS POOR CHURCHES
Meeting Of the Tabernacle Society
at the Shoreham.
Stafford Delivered an Interesting
Address on Catholic Missions.

The twentieth annual meeting OF the
Tabernacle Society of Washington and
the Association for the Perpetual Adcra-
ton and for the work of poor churches
was held this morning at l O'Clock in the
banquet hall of the Shoreham. The room
was well filled by members of the societies,
and the meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Edward Douglass White
wife of the Supreme Court justice.
Mrs. White introduced Right Rev. Bishop
KeaDe. saying that he really needed no in
PRODUCTION, as 1t was through his advice
that the society was first organized, twenty
years ago, when he was assistant pastor
OF st. Pairick's Church.
Bishop Keane presided.
Reports of various committees were
read, showing the work o + the org anizat ion
and the coed it has accomplished during
the past year. Its object, as stated. is to
provide vestIncnts and altar linens for sac
ramental service TO churches whose con-
greSations are too poor to provide their
own.
The ladies meet at regular intervals and
perform the work of making choir robes,
altar and vestry paraphernalia. Those
who are unable to meet to do the embroidery
aud sewing provide the material. and in
this way the society, as its reports show,
has assisted .2G9 needy churches and mis-
sions in sevnty-six different dioceses, aud
has distributed more than 10000 articles.
Calls are received from all parts OF the
country and from mission posts lying out
on the frontier. all Of which have been
supplied with church furnishings.
After the reading OF he reports the Rev.
DR.. Stafford OF st. PatricS's Church de-
livered an interesting address on Catholic
missions and the necessity OF equipping
them and the poorer churches in a suitable
manner.
The report OF the secretary aud treasurer
shows the society 10 be in a better condition
than IL mas ever been before. The officers of
the society are:
