This Curlgue Wedding Custom Ia OF

The origin OF the curious custom OF

back to French peasant origin by a
young man interested in folklore and

after the wedding ceremony, the girl is
escorted to her new home by her girl

Lohman at Work.

hon. Martin Lehman, Of Las Cruces,
has spent considerable time in the leg
islative halls during the past few days.
He is interested in the passage of the
council bill authorizing and allowing
the practice and science of osteopathy
in the territory which passed the coun-
ell. 1t seems that the medical trust
was not strong enough to prevent the
passage of the bill in the council, but
is strong enough to hold it up in the
house, although the people want the
bill passed and although many letters
requesting its passage have been re-
Ccivd by councilmen and representa-
lives. Mr.. Lehman, however, knows q
thing or two about legislative matters
and is a man Of influence, and may
he able TO give the New Mexico med
ical trust a body blow. Many citizens,
not only I'm Santa Fe, but all over the
territory, hope he will succeed.-New
Mexican.
