Allaying Dead Husband's jealousy

Widows in all countries are sup
posed to be full of little wiles, and Ger
tainly some OF them have very strange
practices. Take. for instance. an
Arab woman who intends 10 marry
again. The night before the wedding
she goes to pay the late husbands
grave a visit There she humbly
kneels and prays him not to DE jeal-
Gus or offended. Probably she believes
that he will be both. and that she
must make a definite act TO appease
his wrath. Accordingly she takes
with her a mule bearing two goats
skins of water When her prayers are
ended she takes the water skins and
proceeds to saturate her husband 5
grave. Whether Il plentiful libation
of cold water has a soothing effect on
the spirit of the departed or not may
he a matter of conjecture. but having
made il the widow feels that she has
done all that can be required Of her.
and enters wedlock again without

A LARGE FAMILY.
Christmas Migration of the Skaggses
Through 81, Louis, No.

Mrs. George SkaSgS passed through
the station last night with her fam
lily, Ell route from her home, near
father. AT Pollard. Ky. says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat The family
consisted of Mrs. Skaegs and ten child
rcn. the eldest of whom was Is and
the youngest . years old. She stated
that she had three other children be-
sides the string which accompanied
her. but that they were married and
settled down out west. Mrs. Skaggs
said that she was married twenty-five
years ago. and that Il year ago her
husband died. She continued to work
ne farm with the aid of her offspring
and they managed to keep the place
in prosperous condition She said
that she had not heard from her ia
Their directly for several years. and as
christmas was coming on she
thought she would go over and spend
the holidays with the old folks. The
children, when placed in a row. look
like stair steps. The big busting crowd
at the station and the changing OF the
train bells and screeching OF the
whistles greatly excited the children.
and whenever new sound greeted
their ears the youngsters would begin
to cry. II Mrs. Skaggs moved from
one part Of the station to the other the
entire tribe nf Skaggs moved after her.
Between their moving around and their
crying the attention of everybody in
the main waiting room was attracted
and the Skaggs family was the cyno-
sure Of all eyes. Mrs Skaggs said she
was going TO surprise the old folks.
as they did not know how many chill
dren she had, and there would be a
great Christmas gathering at her old
homestead. The last heard OF the
family was when the engine pulling
the Louisville & Nashville train
whistlcd for the cross-over switch and
as the screech died away sound which
was easily recognized as the Skages
chorus fioated back through the train
shed and died away amid the arches
OF the waiting room.
