A couple of hours later two villains,
armed with blackthorn cudgels, strede
along the road from Lyncaster to

We were horEbly nervous-at least.

HlGH-PR1cED Observation-Disclosures
1t Costs White Man $500 to Marry a
Chickasaw Girl.


The Chickasaw legislature. now in
session at Tishamingo, l. T., has passed
law which is intended to stop white
men from marrying Indian women, by
taxing them 5000 for marriage license.
There are about 10000 full-blooded
Indians in the Chickasaw tribe while
the others are about 80, 600 in number.
and are half and quarter bloods and
among them are many squaw men.
These squaw men are white men
who have married Indian women and
settled upon Indian lands. This prac-
tice, says the Chicago inter Ocean. is
Hot-to the liking of the full-blooded In
dians, but they We're powerless until
recently.
At the last tribal election the full
bloods, for the first time in 20 years,
got control of the council. Since then
they have made life a burden for the
half-oreeds and squaw men. MANY
laws have been passed detrimental 10
their interests, but the most effective
action of all was taken last week.
when the price of marriage license
was raised from $50 to $780,
This Is applicable only to white men
who would marry Indian women, Con-
sidering, however, that the average
Chickasaw girl has tribal property to
the value of about $4,000, the price of a
marriage license may not yet affect the
shrewd white spectators who have
been marrying the Chickasaw bellies

The solitary tooth of Buddha is to be
contained in what will probably be the
most valuable Golfer in the world. A
shan chieftain recently sent tic MouI-
mein, in Burmah, an emerald worth,
it is declared, two lekhs of rupees, in
order that the Burmese Buddhists
might include it among the jewels
which they are going to Send to Ceylon
in order to adorn The tooth holding cof-
fer. Jewelry worth $4,000 rupees had
been already received from Rangoon
and Mandalay, and the Moulmein Bud
dhists have themselves secured jewelry
to the value of So, 900 rupees. Thus the
total value of the jewelry adjoining the
Golfer will be about three anu a half
