tablished law and real estate Office
in Georgetown, Col. Henry WoIcott
ran the real estate Office and did fairly
well, but there was Aothing doing in
the law, and the ex-senator became
discouraged, gossips Washington
writer, and decided to move to an ad-
joining camp, where silver lead had
been struck. He packed his belongings
on a donkey. Just as he was leaving
he remembered his first sign, reading.
ED Wolcott & Bro" You don't want
that sign, do you, Henry?" asked the
ex-senator. mo, Ed, take it along"
replied Henry. Edward packed the
sign on the donkey and arrived at ths
new mining camp the next afternoon
about dusk. The miners came up and
looked him over. One Of them read the
sign strapped on the donkey's back and
asked: Which of you all is Ed?"

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who distin-

somewhat frigid. We'll, what's the

persisted the general. "Out with it!
What do you want?" After being

who would seem q match for man or

feet and dashed into the store and ran

change Of base, while q wretched lit

Joined the squatters on the sunbaked

secreted few minutes, and then, as
suring himself that no red face fol-
lowed him, he shamefacedly came out
from behind the boxes, but did not go
out of doors while the little old sQuaw
was in sight.
What's the matter?" said the tra
der. as he laughingly repeated our ex-
,clamation. "Oh, nothing but a moth
er-in-law on the scene.''
Then he told a custom among the
Navajos, centuries old-a custom
which we found later is universal
among the great Indian tribe all over
its reservation. All Navajos have
belief that it is blight upon a hus-
bands life to have any communica-
ton with or association with his wife's
mother. The greater part of the Nav
ajoS believe that a husband who looks
upon his mother-in-law is tempting
all the evil spirits upon himself, and
many are SO intense in the belief as
to say that a husband who gazeS at his
mother-in-law will surely have his eye
balls wither and drop out of their
sockets Navajo lore is full of legends
about great warriors in the past, who
have had visitations of hideous physi-
eal ailments and helplessness upon
them for defiance of the law of the
tribe. But while no Navajo can cite
q modern instance Of blindness or bad
luck or paralysis or decreptitude be-
cause Of q husbands accidentally look
Ing upon his mother-in-la~, the super
stition is just as potent. The Navajo
who accidentally comes in contact
with his mother-in-law is the subject
of commiseration by all his relatives
and is much pitiad by the mother-in-
Naw herself
Marriage among the Navajos is a
matter of purchase. and the mother OF
the prospective bride is particularly
consulted to know whether the son-in-
Jaw Is agreeable to her, and II he is
agreeable, whether she will make his
life happy and prosperous by keeping
out of his sight and giving him full
warming whenever she comes near to
his presence. Many a Navajo sends
constant gifts to his motherin-law for
her kindly consideration by her avoid
ance of his sight
