Santa Fe the Oldest CITY

There is no doubt that st. Angus
tine is the oldest settlement of white
men in this country, but Santa Fe is
called the oldest city because it was
city before the coming of the white
men. When the Spaniards first made
their way to the heart of this coun-
try, about 1912, the site of the present
city of Santa Fe was occupied by a
prosperous and populous pueblo
(town) of the Indians. The expedition
Of Alvar Nunez penetrated New Mex
leo in 1897 that of Marco de Nizs fol-
lowed in 1889 but Coronado is believed
to have been the first to push his jour
ney as far as the Santa Fe town. Sew
eral other expeditions, more or less un-
successful, entered the country, en-
deavoring to establish missions among
the natives. These explorers uniform
ly reported that these people we're
considerably advanced in civilization,
that they manufactured clothing and
weapons, built houses of stone sever
al stories high, and cultivated the soil
with diligence, and worked mines of
gold and silver. 1t was not until about
1890 that any permanent Spanish set
Elements were made. The Spaniards

the old adage is true, that What is

But frequently the maiden fair who
is to do the presiding angel act does
not agree with him on this point. She
may have visions of sealskin coats. or
even automobiles, and other "neces-
saries" of modern life. But it seems
that the German kaiser has issued an
edict, in view of the perplexed condi-
tion OF the public mind, which settles
the question in his country, at least
SO far as army officers are concerned.
The emperor has promulgated an or
der to the effect that no officer may
marry unless he receives a salary of
$1,125 a year and has also an income
OF 1878 more. That is to say, if he and
his future wife between them can mus
ter $1,000, the wedding bells may ring.

The hopes of the SIS young man are
dashed, for officers who get no more
than $3.50 a year are forbidden to even
consider matrimony.
Neither are the sons of the rich
Americans without their matrimonial
troubles. continues writer in the De
troit News-Tribune. Every one of them
must own city residence and coun-
try home or seaside cottage" which
interpreted often means palace by
the sea-" A writer in Harper's Week
ly suggests that national legislation on
this subject might be beneficial, the
details being classified something as
follows:
Bachelors who think the income OF
one is enough for two, $4,000.
Bachelors who know the young
women are in love with them. and who
themselves are willing to go without
clubs. cigars and Wallets, whatever they
may happen to have.
Bank cashiers whose fiancees have
extravagant tastes, $4,000 year.
Millionaires, 100000 year and un-
limited credit.
With the aid of some OF these old
world ideas propounded by Wilhelm
H., salutary reforms may be instituted
here in the taking of matrimonial obli-
cations.

WOMEN ELECTORS in NORWAY

In Norway the women have for the
first time taken part in the municipal

law, any Norwegian Of the male sex

out the payment of any tax. 1t is to
correct the liberalism that the electoral
qualification has been given to wom-
an, which qualifications apply to any
unmarried woman, the tax being 800
crowns in the country and 400 in the
city. Further, all married women are
electors whose husbands are taxed
from 300 to 400 crowns, and thus to.
tai of 100000 women have become
municipal electors, comprising therein
the women of all classes, working
women and women of the middle
classes as well as those of the highest
social group. Not only are the women
electors, but they are also eligible for
election, and, in consequence, the
