An aged apple tree stands on the

Hampshire.
Tradition says that the tree came
over from England in washtub. 1t
is not known who brought it, nor in
precisely what year it arrived, but in
view of the fact that it is on land
originally owned by the Hilton family
there is every reason to suppose that
it voyaged with the first shipload Of

Zuni
4 az14Iy Life

The little half-civilized children of
Zuni so aroused our curiosity that we
drove through forty miles of sand and
sagebrush, from the railroad at Fort
Wingate, to pay them n visit, writes
Marie Brace Kimball in ST. Nicholas.
AS the Indians do not provide for trav-
elers, we took our hotel with us
tents, beds and food-and camped
just outside their village. The village
looks like a huge beehive made of
clay and stuck fast to the top of a
sandy knoll. The hive is filled with
a mass of cells-300 single rooms.
placed side by side and piled in rows
one on top of another.
In each of these rooms lives a Zuni
family. There are no inside stairways
leading from story to story, but If the
boys and girls living in one row wish
to pay visit to house above them.
they must go outdoors and climb a
ladder. On the slope between the vii
lage and the Zuni river are q number
of small vegetable gardens, each one
inclosed by a mud wall. Zuni has no
Hills, uO ShopS, no SdlOOu5, nOC even
proper streets, but only narrow alleys
that thread their way through the
strange town. AS we walked through
the village, all the world came out
to see us. Girls and boys clustered
on the roofs or sat on the ovens
queer little cones of mud which seem
to grow up out Of the house-tops-
while fathers, mothers and babies
peered out from dark doorways to
stare at the visitors. When we had
finished our tour of the roofs and al
legs, we were Hospitality invited in
doors; even there the children fol-
lowed us, and as we glanced up to a
hole in the ceiling which served as a
window, a girls laughing face filed
the opening. We must have looked
strange enough in our hats and gloves
and long skirts.

Novelty in ADVERTISING.

A novel advertising idea was intro
duced on the Bou,evards des ltaliens
in Paris, the other night, when four
gentlemen attired in fawn overcoats
and top hats, each jauntily carrying a
cane, strolled leisurely along in single
file after the manner of tourists. They
stopped at every cafe, before the long
rows of people seated outside, and
bowed gravely, hand on heart. This
pressure of the hand touched button
concealed under the coats, and the
four hats were simultaneously illumi-
mated with a device advising one to
try someone's liquor. AS if this were
not sufficient, they snatched off their
hats with sudden gesture, and bow
ed three times, revealing bald-headed
wigs, on which the same appeal was
painted in black.

Rich Costumes of Savage Women.

The women of savage tribes have
not infrequently wardrobe consist
ing of furs which would be worth from
SIS 900 to $4,000. Grundeman, the ex-
plorer, relates how one fair Green
lander wore a dress of sealskin with
a hood of that costly fur, the silver
fox. The garment was lined with fur
of the young sealotter, and there was
a fringe of wolverine tails. About
5000 is probably the average worth of
the dress of Indian women on the Co.
lumbia and Fraser rivers.

TWICE MARRIED IN AN HOUR.
Speeding Auto Helped Couple Out Of
Dilemma.

Twice married within an hour-the
second time in an automobile-was
the romantic termination of the court
ship of Christian Silistia, young
business man of Parkston, S. d., and
the lady of his choice, who came from
Iowa for the purpose of uniting her
fortunes with those of the young
South Dakotan.
Mr.. Silistia, after producing a mar
riage license, met his sweetheart at
Scotland, Bon Homme county, where
they were promptly welded by Rev.
A. nj. Thurston.
When the marriage certificate was
being prepared it was discovered that
the marriage license had been issued
In Hutchinson county.
AS the state law requires marriage
county in which a license is issued,
the pair were in a quandry until the
clergyman wife came to their rescue
by suggesting that they induce DR..
Seagley, local physician, to take the
wedding party in his automobile
across the border to Hutchinson coun-
ty.
The couple, together with the clergy
man and physician, got into the auto
mobile, which was soon speeding in
the direction of the Hutchinson coun-
| ty line, only few miles away.
AS soon as the party had crossed
the border, and while the automobile
was spinning over public highway, a
new marriage ceremony was per.
