Of the sea is caught in their eyes; its ever
changing moods are reflected in their mobile
faces; the mystery of ocean fills their souls; its
incomings and outgoings, its smiles and trowns
mark their fortunes; what is more natural tnen
that the three vital happenings of mankind should
be marked by sea rites by these island people!
Babies are christened by the sea. maids are
won in it's waters, bodies are consecrated with
its spray by the people of these Greek isles IL
is with the second rite alone however, that the
lovers are concerned.
DIVING FOR A WIFE
From the time he can walk the Greek boy is
encouraged to play upon the waves. Diving is as
much national sport on the Cyclades and the
Sporades as is cricket in England, ball in
our land Many frolic does young Apollo
enjoy with his Diana down among the fishes
Each is equally daring about plunging off the
rocky shore Of his island home down, down.
down where the sponges grow and the beautiful
sea moss floats.
The skill in diving thus attained in youth is
turned to good account when the boy and girl
become lad and lassie. Side by side they dive
for the wealth Of the Aegean and carefully the
maid hordes her sponges, while the youth watches
his pile with anxious eye.
1t is a law among these Greeks that no girl
will be a fit wife until she has dived for and
brought up enough sponges to fill good-sized
chest. This is her dot"

Atlantic, and that he will only give up all hope
of finding the hair Unknown" when every means
of tracing her has been exhausted or-and he
wisely acknowledges that this may occur-when
another unknown fires his affection.
The question is, will one of our American girls,
whose inborn instinct is to rule supreme and
alone in mans affection, consent to forego this
despotsm for the splendor of an East Indian
hareh which she would share with sixty-three
other beauties?
The Prince declares that she shall reign queen
and that one shall displace this American
jewel which he covets. But did he tell his other
sixty-three wives the same story? Meanwhile
he continues his quest and, because he speaks in
the language of love and not of barter, we smile
upon his Oriental customs and trust the go.4en
heart of the American girl to protect her and
our national standards.
DIVING FOR BRIDE
When Prince Sing was sailing to America to
woo and win one of our maids, sturdy young
Greek up in Nova Scotia was following his ma
tive custom of winning a sweetheart He called
together the girls other suitors, they proved five
in number, and organized diving contest Ac-
oording to the custom of his natal country the
man who could bring up the greatest number of
sea trophies, who could remain the longest time
under the waves, and who could in every way
prove his superiority as diver won the girl.
The other sutors were of the New World and
lacked the backing of a long line of ancestors who
were champion divers They also lacked the ex,
periencc in the sport which was second nature
to the young Greek. OF course, the man from
the faraway islands won, and as the maiden,
who was herself a Grecan, had already given
her heart to her handsome young countrymap,
American conventions were appeased and Venus
smiled upon the lovers united in this strange
manner. This custom of diving for wife as
practiced by the Greeks of long ago is still in
vogue in that land across the seas
Romantic and Old World like in many respects,
as are the Greeks of today they however, are
none the less real flesh and blood men and
women, with the joys and sorrows which make
all the world akin. They love and they WOO
and they marry, mankind does the globe

ically sighed that the unquenchable inward, flame
which had been kindled by the photograph OF
an American girl, would burn away his heart un-
less he could find his namorta, we smiled upon
his frank avowal and for the moment lost sight
OF the strangeness of his quest. All the world
loves lover and Low Get Sing breathed an old
world ardor
The East Indian Prince is now in this country
diligently searching for a sixty-fourth beauty to
grace his harem. He declares that she must be
American girl, and that he will scour the
States in quest of her.
Prince Sings search has had romantic be-
ginning out in Frisco Scarcely had he followed

souvenir post cards made. Prince Sing will give

affection but No. 1S74X, Unknown, of Chicago,

public highways. The cost of rock
crushers would hardly be felt by the
people of the county, and they should
certainly be purchased"
Mr.. B. F. Tupman says: II am in
favor of public improvements; want
better roads and a bridge across Green
river at Neatsville. These impraye-
ments will increase my tax, but / am.
willing to bear my part. The road
from Columbia to Burton's store at
this time is almost impossible, the
mud being six or eight inches deep
in many places. Rock crushers would
not increase our taxes but little, and /
think the Fiscal Court should purchased
them. There is not . place in the roun-
ty that Stands more in need of a briaRo
than Neatsville. :"
