Primitive Marriage.

Marriage in primitive times was 10
family or personal arrangement, bat an
institution of the community. Ii we
realize this, many hitherto unexplained
customs connected with it become at
once of significance. The members Of
primitive communities were bound to-
gether by common interests and duties;
every member of a clan was bound to
consider the rights of his fellow and to
assist him even to his own hurt. Aid
and succor were indispensable for COM
muna1 necessities, therefore the mar
rage of a son or n daughter in every
small commonwealth was matter for
public consideration. The first step that
led to matrimOny i'll those remote times
was to capture wife or to purchase Il
wife. In this the whole tribe assisted,
and then Joined as of right in the fes
tivities that gradually grew round the
marriage ceremony. In short, in those
days the individual was ignored and
had no existence save as one Of Il group.
Surely we may consider that this led
to the necessity for the lord of the man
ors sanction to his tenants marriage III
feudaI times, the lords of the manor in
the middle ages having appropriated to
themselves many of the rights of the
tribal authorities of primitive times. In
feudal times no girl could be married to
any one out of the manor without the
good will of the lord of the soil, and an
heiress could not be married at all with
out his consent. In some instances fines
had to be paid by the BRIDES father, or
whoever stood to her in the place of Il
father, for leave to give her in marriage
to q stranger. -Philadelphia Ledger.

without Stunning or Evasion.

From FenimOre Cooper and other au-
thOrities we have gained the impression
that the Indian is stolid, severe indi-
vidual, with no sense of the white
mans humCr, but one red brother show
ed himself quite a civilized joker in the
United States court. He was on the
stand in a holly contested case. and At
tUrney ID. +. Bailey of Sioux Falls was
after him in the most approved fashion
of cross examination. Finally, after APP
parently frightening the Indian with
the awful consequences which would
follow the slightest deviation from the
truth, Mr.. Bailey took his most porten-
tous tone and solemn manner and de-
manded:
Snow, sir, 1 want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shuffiing or
evasion. L want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me how you get your
living, sir.
The Indian looked straight at Mr.
Bailey, and. with that imIerturbable air
familiar to all acquainted with the red
men, simply said, Eat. -
The courtroom roared, even Judge
Garland smiled and Mr.. Bailey let the
witness go.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
