Land company's FIRST Adj
ton to Village of Butler.


The Kickapo0 Indians have a very
peculiar marriage custom. They sim
ply select their wives. and If the selec-
tion is mutual they reside together as
man and wife, and nothing is said.
There are no scandals among these
people. Husbands and wives are true
to each other, and the quiet under
standing Is considered as sacred as our
marriage vows. There are Few acts
that can be termed criminal among
this small band of Indians. Murder is
seldom heard OF, and death is the fen-
atty for the crime. Robbery from each
other is unknown. All their possess
sions could be piled together in the
street, and no one Of them would think
Of taking the property. Their religion
b the same as Columbus found among
the Indians when he first landed In
America. They believe that there are
two spirits-the great, good spirit and
the bad spirit. After death the wicked
are supposed to fall victims to the bad
spirit. The religious worship Is car
ried on every day. 1t consists Of dances
and singing and beating Of tomtoms.
They are very delicate regarding their
belief and seldom take a stranger into
their confidence. -Kansas City journal.

penses of the royal household and to
abolish sinecures. Being an early riser.
he turned up one morning at the office
of the household at eight o'clock, and
found two attendants laZily beginning

to dictate some letters, and finding no
one to write them, he seized n duster
from one of the alarmed men, and
having busted one Of the desks, sat
down and occupied the next hour and
a half in writing the letters himself.
When at half-past nine one of the
clerks sauntered in he was staggered

the annual harvest thanksgiving serv-

him the reason OF his absence from
