MINI. Vest.

Man has one purely parliamentary gar
ment. The coat and trousers yield to
the ravnges Of toll and time, but the
vest ever preserves It's pristine fresh
ness. The history Of n mans clothes
can be written from the old vests
stored away In his wardrobe. The coat
he wore ut graduation and his wedding
trousers become but myths. but he can
always show you the vests he wore
upon those august occasions. The tai
lor who invents style Of dress that
will omit the vest has fortune and
fame In store for him.

WOMEN MUST KNEEL MEN
liz the Law Among Many Tribes of
East Central Africa.


IN the Law Among Mnny Tribes of
East Central Africn.
Men IN Africa, and especially in east
| central Africa, believe that their woIn-
eli are their Interiors, and inuny cen.
turtles ago, says the Chicago l'rib-
unc. they made n Inv that has worn H..
self into custom that women must
acknowledge this by always kneeling
when they meet man.
Dun Macdonald, who spcut many
years as II missionary In that country.
says that African women hold n most
degraded position and are looked upon
pretty generally as beasts of burden
capable Of doing MI the hard work.
when woman meets any man, be it
her husband or stranger. at home or
OH the road she Is expected to "taidi-
waia'-that is, to kneel and clap her
hands to the lord OF creation as he
passes. Although woman may have
slaves OF her own, she observes this
custom whenever she meets them ON
the Highway.
Macdonald adds: whenever we saw
woman 80 out Of her way with the
intention OF knecling before us, though
she carried hundredwcight on her
heao, knowing that she would have TO
get UP with 1t, we shouted, You are
losing your way: this Is the puth' and
she took II, glad that she might dis
pcnse with this custom"
Certain 1t Is that II the African wo.
man knecls before Il stranger or slave
she prostrates herself most humbly be-
rore her husband, her lord and master
lie Is her father, and she IL; his child !;
nc commands, and she obeyS; he may
inlet punishment and she accepts 1t.
The title of father" is given TO all
old people. ~ man of thirty will say,
Il am only child; ask the old man"
Ihe woman must submit. of course.
She Is her husbands chattel; he has
bought her for two skins of bucks
ana this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them In payment for
debts.
If IL girl Is not first wife she counts
Tor little, MS these Africans usually
nave one chief wife aud three or four
minor wives. man who Is married n
row years Is expected to have junior
wives. The chief wife has the suncr-
intcndcncc of the others and looks
after the household. The punishment
She infiicts for lazincss is to Danish the
junior wife from her meals until hun
ger brings her to her senses. If n
junior wife Is obstreperous she is put
IN Il slave stock.
The authority Of II chief wife Is not
matter to jest with. If junior wife
gets unruly the whipping post is made
use OF. This does not annoy her lord.
for African men have little sentiment
for their wives and feel none for their
junior wives. They are his chattels,
having the same value us his cattle.
perhaps less. When IL man Is pressed
for money he usually sells his wife and
not his cattle. He expects them to cul-
tlvate the soil and cut down the trees,
ana when he finds time or has the in
clination he helps them.

Influence Of Organized Specula

COTTON MARKET fEyERlsII
Future of the Money Market cIouded
by the Coming Withdrawal of Gov.
eminent Deposits and the Demand
of Paris For Gold.
(By Associated Press.}

NEW YORK, July 5.-ln spite of re.
iapse Ill prices late in the day. there
was no installing the aggressive
strength OF the forces behind today's
continued speculation in stocks. There
was evidence of some extension of I'm.
terest in the market In the character
or the business done by commission
houses when trnding began and il was
evident that there was some feeding
or this demand TO take profits by those
who have been buying previously.
The market was plainly under the
influence still of the organized specilla-
tive forces which have conducted the
present advance from its inception.
Cotton Market Feverish.
The fevershness of the cotton mar.
ket offered no ground for revising tho
serious view OF the crop outlook i'm.
duced by the government report on
Monday. There was some special ef
tort to realize in consequence in the
STOCKS OF cotton carrying roads.
ne dci1nite announcement of the
oHerlng here Of one-third instalment
5or Sio,000,000 of n new Japanese loan.
SINE withdrawal on the 18th of govern
ment deposits and the persistence of
me Paris demand for gold clulrded the
future of the money market. The rush
10 sell on the gold announcement
shook the market badly and left rem
nants of gains in only few of the
strongest stocks.
Nnds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $3,3SG, 600.
