A Queer japanese az:,~riage Custo7n.

A Queer Japanese Marriage Custom.
Wild geese are considered the hest
examples Of coniaaa felicity in the
animal world. Thus the Japanese
groom sends the bride a pair Of these
birds, and she IL turn presents them to
her parents. Ie further emphasize the
matter the GrGom brings another pair
10 the wedding. and they roost in the
room during tie ceremony. Their con-
duct is watched With care, for they
must not struggle TO escape during tie
proceedings, Fortunate is the bride
groom who cannot secure the geese
alive and must be content TO substitute
toy limitations Of the birds. for then
he has no anxiety lest the wild propen-
sity assert itself during tAa marriage
rites and thus prove al i.ouen to the
acknowledgements Home Compan

milo and quarter out of town, he was
fired on and killed by an assassin. 1t

were in the act of crossing small bridge
on the open prairie. when they were
fired on by a man concealed in the tall
grass in the ditch AS soon as the shot
was fired the assassin fed and Jim Long
summoned assistance and took the
wounded man home where he died day
or so later, meeting death with great for
titude, first arranging all of the details
of his business and then summoning his
mother and sister about his bed and t.
bid them an affectonatc adieu. He had
been filled full of slugs from the muzzl-
of a shotgun and recovery from such q
wound was impossible
Suspicion pointed to Louis Griffin, =
negro, as the man who had fired the fatal
load of slugs. but in spite OF the efforts
of the officers of the law not a trace Of
the negro could be found. A few days
ago, however. a message was received
from st. Louis that the much wanted
man was under arrest in that city and an
