An Englishman of rank and money
visited Chicago recently and with him
came his private secretary, young,
fresh faced, jolly fellow just out Of
Oxford university. The secretary
brought letters of Introduction TO a
Chicago man from well known Lon
don actor and an equally prominent
man of letters. The Englishman came
direct to Chicago, making no stop in
New York. The secretary called upon
the Chicago man to whom he had let
tiers and who did little entertaining,
inviting three city friends to meet the
private secretary at luncheon at not
ed restaurant.
1t was after the cigars were lighted
that the conversation turned upon
things American. The Chicagoans
knew that the Britons were credited
with believing that they could shoot
buffaloes under the shade of the Audi
forum and shoot grizzlies along the
Shokie, but they were not quite pre-
pared for what was to come. The lit
tie luncheon party had been waited
upon by a coal black negro with crisp
hair curled tight to his head. The Sec
rotary throughout the repast had eyed
the attendant with interest. When the
waiter finally had left the room, the
English guest turned to his host and
said:
"Mr. Nelson, it seems to me that
read somewhere that the American In
dams had straight hair. The hair Of
the one who waited on US curls like
astrakhan. Chicago Tribune.

The marriage customs of the NegulOs
are peculiar. The young man who
seeks a bride first obtains the favor of
her parents and then pursues her,
catching her in his arms. She breaks
loose and runs and does not yield until
he has caught her several times. Final
ly he leads her In triumph to her home.
Here her father drags the youth up
ladder to her floor Of their hut. The
mother drags up the maiden. They
are then made to kneel, and the IA
Their pours over them cocoanut she'll
full of water. He then bumps their
heads together, and the ceremony is
completed. They spend their honey
moon in the depths of the mountains
and for five days and nights are lost
to sight, after which they come back
to everyday life.
There Is another marriage custom
which is worth describing. Instead of
the youth and maiden being dragged
up the hut ladder they are made to
climb two saplings that grow near
each other. Then an elder of the group
grasps the saplings and draws them
together until the heads of the young
couple touch, with kiss or bump.

makes them man and wife.-Forum.

DESPERATION is apparent in the Demo
cratic ranks over the position of Steward
of the Almshouse, the only Office they
have any hope of winning To gain
their point no stone is being left unturn-
ed and they have started all sorts of stor-
les with the idea of creating dissension in
the Republican party. Deals and trades
are reported by them more with the hope
that such an end may be reached than
with any degree of truthfulness. There
is no need of any Republican trading a
name on the ticket. We have all the as
surances of victory if the vote is polled.
Earnest effort on the part of each member
of our party will secure large majority
Tom Shreve may be good enough man
for the Democrats to nominate but he is
not the fellow the people want to put in
control of the county farm. George F.
Harbert suits great deal better as will be
conclusively shown on the seventh day of
next month.

THE records and files of the newspapers
show that while affairs at the almshouse
were under Democratic control expense
and extravaganza were the rule and not
the exception. There is no desire to re-
turn to this system. During the incum--
bency of Theodore B. Gaskill the aims
house has been run economically and to
the benefit of the taxpayers. The county
farm has been greatly improved and en-
HANGED in value. This has been the re-
suit of watchful care on the part of the
gentleman who has had charge. ewish
to keep matters in this good shape. 1t
cannot be done by electing a man who has
to hire foreman to look after small
farm of less than 200 acres. George F.
Harbert will give the place his personal
supervision. He is a representative of the
Republican party and will take great
pride in seeing that the good record made
by his party in the management of the
almshouse shall not be blurred.
