Curious why. OF uopI M.Ia.

In this age OF advanced views on
matrimonial entanglcments and obliga-
dons IL is refreshing to read OF the Gu
rlous marriage customs of the gentle
saNages Of the Hopi tribe i'm Arizona.
Here the Iopi maid does the wooing.
Tor the women Of the Hopi brand are
held in much higher respect than are
the coppery sisters OF kindred tribes
And when the Hopi maid has selected
the youth Of her choice she goes TO his
house as sutton for his hand and testi-
hes both to her devotion and her Indus
try by grinding corn beneath his roof
until he is sufficiently impressed with
her qualities 10 yield and name the
day.
When the Hopi maid leads the man
OF her choice TO the tribal altar. she
does 50 I'm the midst OF elaborate cere-
monials OF long duration. and when
all is over she takes him to her home.
Nor does she yield this ownership
when she weds. On the contrary. the
house, the fields and an the property
save the herds belong to the wife.
This, as will be seen. greatly facilitates
the uopi method or obtaining di-
vorce. for when the wife tires Of her
husband she simply takes his saddle
from her floor and losses il out through
her door, and the divorce is completed.

The following story illustrates
one of the many reasons that in
duced the Burlington railroad to
change the system of operating its
dining cars from the fixed price
per meal to the la carte plan,
whereby the passenger orders what
he wants and pays for what he
orders. Under the old plan some
travellers had the idea that it was
necessary to order very elaborate
meal in order to get the worth of
their money, and the hero of this
anecdote was among the mum Der.
After seating himself in Burling-
ton dining car, it is related that he
ordered three kinds of soup, with
celery, radishes, pickles, two kinds
of fish and two varieties of meat
After disposing of this array, the
stranger found that he had almost
reached the limit of his capacity,
but still had an unsatis6ed longing
for pie. He called a waiter and
said in a hoarse whisper, es he
pointed to the menu card: Say,
mister, if it amt again the rules,

Chamber Last Night.

The most important business
transacted at the city council laet
night WAS to give Officer Nix fair
and impartial hearing on the
charge preferred against him by
Manager Nevins of the opera house
in regard to making disturbance
there. There were three witnesses
called upon, who handed in testi-
mony, some in favor of and others
against Nix. Mr.. Nix was then
called upon to give an exact
description of what happened in
the opera house on the night
OF the appearance here of
"Too Rich to Marry" He vindi-
Gated himself and denied almost
every charge made against him.
Mr.. Nix's and Officer Powell's
stories did not altogether cores
pond Mr.. Powell was an eye
witness.
The testimony brought forth
quite little discussion among the
aldermen, and not being determin-
ed as to what should be done, they
left the entire matter in the hands
of the police committee, which was
given full power to act as it sees
fit
A communication was read from
d. w. Lane, whose wife STUN bled
over an obstruction on East Second
street on the Goth of last October
and fractured her arm, asking that
the council pay damages. He
stated that he did not wish to
bring suit against the city and
preferred settling the matter amic-
ably Mrs. Lane, it seems, has
lost the use of her left arm. Mr..

her estate to her husband "and his
heirs" although two daughters
have contested that it should read
"or his heirs" In the latter case,
they would have the estate as his
heirs, but the court has ruled that
"and his heirs" means that the
estate must be shared with at least
a hundred cousins and other rela-
