HURRY CALL FOR A BRIDE.
Extremity of Labrador "kine" When
the Bishop Came.


Every summer when the coast of
Labrador is fairly free AID vessels
can approach that foggy and for
bidding country the bishop of New
foundland makes a trip as far north
as the ice permits. He finds much
to do in giving comfort and coun-
sci, christening the infants that
have been born during the winter,
preaching funeral sermons and unit
ing the betrothed, who await him at
the fishing stations.
Landing at the Seal islands once,
he found an assemblage clad in it's
level best at the house of the
"king," or leading factor, for the
king, having buried four wives, had
resolved to take a fifth, and he had
gathered the neighbors to witness
his joy in the acquisition.
There are not many neighbors in
Labrador, but there were enough in
this instance to fill both rooms of
his house. When the bishop had
been warmed and welcomed and was
prepared to speak the words that
would fill the Seal islands with re-
joicing he discovered that the union
was impossible because the bride
and bridegroom were too nearly re-
lated.
"The church forbids this match"
he declared, and great was the SEN
sation. The bride sank down in
tears of modification and temper,
and the bridegroom scratched his
head in bewilderment. Something
had to be done, and quickly, for it
might be year before clergyman
appeared on that coast again.
ooh, well, there's plenty Of 9TH
ers," said the king, frightening as
he surveyed his guests. He turned
to a woman in the company and
asked, "Will you have me, Lizzie ?"
'CNot for a giftw exclaimed the
guest Indignantly.
"Will you have me, Jane?"
''Not if you we're the last man on
Labrador"
Glow for you, Moggart?"
'Neverp
The king looked ruefully over the
wedding party and, spying the cook
at the far side Of the room, march
ed over to her resolutely, seized her
by the arm, saying, "Come along,
Sue; you'll do" dragged her, none
too willing, before the bishop, and
they were married.-Yo uth's Com
panion.

ORIGIN of the Word "caIieo."

The word calico" has a peculiar
origin. Many centuries since the
first monarch Of the province of
Malabar, Hindustan, gave to one of
his chiefs, as a reward for services,
the land within the limits Of which
cock growing at a certain temple
could be heard. From this circum-
stance the little town which sprang
up in the center of this territory
was called "Calicado" or "Th0
Growing Cock" Afterward it was
called Caicut, and from this place
the first cotton goods were imported
into England under the name Of
calico.

Many Japanese women gid their
teeth. Women of Arabia stain their
fingers and toes red. In Greenland
women paint their faces blue and
yellow. In India the women of three
high castles paint their teeth black.
A Hindoo bride is anointed from
head to foot with grease and saffron.
Borneo women dye the hair in fan
tastic colors-pink, green, blue and
scarlet. In New Holland scars made
carefully with shells form elaborate
patterns on the women's faces. In
some South American tribes the wo-
men draw the front teeth, esteeming
as an ornament the black gap thus
made.

Drinking With Meals.

A fact that thin persons who wish
to become fat should bear in mind
is that much more food may be eat
en- and it will be more thoroughly
digested if one drinks than if one
does not drink while eating. No
doubt many have noticed the relief
experienced when, replete with food,
they have slipped water. frequently
l have seen children writhing with
the pain of collie instantly relieved
by a few swallows of water. DR.. ia
cobb has said that the collie Of in
fants is due to a too concentrated
milk or other food and that the free
drinking of water will often cure it.

A New but a r.3oaa Way to Collect an
Cid Debt.
A woman in stunning attire got
aboard a Columbus avenue car at
Forty-ninth street. When the con-
ductor called for her fare she gave
him a five dollar bill. He put the
usual question about smaller change
and she gave the usual negative re-
ply. The situation was unpleasant,
especially for the conductor. Oh
viously she was such a fine lady
that to put her off the car for non
payment of fare would be to invite
his own downfall. He looked at the
men who sat near, with an urgent
appeal for a nickel in his eyes, but

PLEA FOR AID FROM
WILDS OF OKLAHOMA

A call for help from the snow-block-
AIDED wilds of Oklahoma has been re-
ceived by the Minneapolis Humane So
ciety. The matter was taken up by
the society's officers, but owing to the
great distance it was impossible to fur
nish aid to the person suffering from
cold and hunger. Notwithstanding the
inability to alleviate this suffering, the
request will be treasured as memento
of the wide advertisement of the local
society.
The sufferer who is imprisoned in an
Oklahoma blizzard, and is subjected to
the pangs that come from bowling
blasts and an all too empty stomach,
is no other than Mrs. Anna L. Farmer,
former newspaper woman, special agent
Of the Humane society, and now q
claims seeker in the "wnd and woolly'
territory. Mrs. Farmer had staked out
her claim and started On her return
trip to Minneapolis. Her train was
blockaded near Gaymon, Okla. Further
progress was impossible and the storm
bound passengers had to abandon the
train and seek what shelter they might
forage for food.
News Of the disaster was wired tc
the Humane society yesterday and sew
eral days may elapse before Mrs, Far
mer is at her desk again.

MONEY THROWN AWAY
BY THE MORRIS GANG
More Light Is Thrown Upon
Particularly Raw
Deal.

If the average Salt Laker were
asked if the city owns its own asphalt
beds, the reply would invariably be,
eyes" The answer would be "Yes'
because the spending Of $4,000 Of the
public money in an alleged purchase of
asphalt deposits during the Norris ad-
ministration is still fresh in the public
mind.
Today the asphalt deposit that cost
the city of Salt Lake $4,000 Is NIL:
From that deposit enough asphalt-and
it was such poor stuff as to be hardly
worthy of the name-was taken out TO
pave Market street, which is very
narrow street, and the drive around
the city and county building.
The work of the church Republicans
and the church Democrats in the whole
deal, from start to finish, was as raw
transaction as was ever consummated
by City Council These same asphalt
deposits had been offered before for
about one-third the sum that the city
paid for them. Milo Clark secured an
option on them for $500. He, in turn,
gave an option to w. G. Nebeker for
S2500 When the matter was present
ed TO the Council it was fought hard.
Councilmen Davis and Black did all ~
Cl6lI power TO USledL lnS SCuSmS- VI
their pains they were charged with be-
ing in the employ Of the asphalt trust.
Raw Piece Of Business.
The first raw piece of business ac-
compished was the appropriation of
$500 to secure the opinion of an expert
as to the value Of the deposits and to
perfect the title to the land, The opiIn-
| ion that this expert returned 10 the
| Council was that the deposits con-
tanned about $4,000 tons of asphalt.
After this expert opinion was given,
the Council decided to buy the asphalt
beds, and a resolution -rovidlng for
the purchase was adopted. Months
| after, when everybody but few
schemers had forgotten the adoption OF
the resolution, City Auditor Felt got
busy. Auditor Felt asked the City At"
! torney's Office # the adoption of the
resolution carried with it an ap-ropria-
tion of the money, and, receiving q
reply in the Affirmative, Mr.. Felt, who
was notorious for holding up small
amounts due laboring men until he
could discuss some alleged flaw with
members of the City Council, gave the
holders of the asphalt beds warrant
for $500 and then failed to report his
action to the Council. 1t was not gen
| orally known that the city had made
| the purchase until some time after Mr..
| Felt's extraordinary action, when The
| Tribune got an inkling Of the transac,
tion, looked the matter up, and pub
hshed 1T.
| Sand Nearer Home,
The warrant issued by the City
Auditor in payment for the $4,000 tons

| on condition that Nebeker and Clark
would file bond with the city guar
anteeing a perfect title. a piece OF
paper bearing the names of Clark and
Nebeker was the only bond that the
city ever received. It suficed, how
ever, and the warrant was issued.
To this day the city has never re
ceived a title to the property. Il
makes little difference now, however

GOV. PARDEE MAKES
VISIT TO SALT LAKE
Golden State Executive on His
Way to the Mining
Congress.

Gov. George G. Pardee of California.
companied by Mrs. Psrdee, was guest
of the Knutsford Sunday, on their way
to Denver to attend the annual meet
ing of the American Mining CONGRESS,
which convenes in that city Tuesday.
The Governor was in a genial mood,
partly because it will be his pleasure
to willingly lay down the cares and
burdens of political Office at the close
of his present term as Governor, and
partly because of the progress which
the great State of California has made
during the four years Of his admins
tratiou as Governor. The marks of the
great, but not wholly irreparable, dis
aster which devastated San Francisco
are being obliterated as fast as condi-
tions will permit, he says. The work
of reparation and rebuilding. which to
some may seem slow, is, nevertheless,
sure. Given time, the energetic, pro.
gressive citizens of San Francisco VIII
again put the city by the Golden Gate
in position to join with the other
great cities Of the country In swelling
the chorus of progress and prosperity.
Gov. Pardee. being asked as TO the po-
litical outlook in California, said:
"The State will undoubtedly 90 Re
publican. Every indication points that
way California is greatly interested
in the American Mining congress and
is sending large, representative body
of mining men to participate IN its de-
iberations at its coming annual meet
ing in Denver
The Governor and party left for the
east Sunday night.
