Twenty oxen is the regular price for wife
among the Mishmis, but poor has more
than once succeeded in obtaining a bride pay
ment of one pig At Timor girl will think of
marrying man who is not provided with GER
tain number of elephants tusks, and at Unyoro,
any desirable but impecunious suitor may pur-
chase his wife on credit but will not be allowed
to enjoy her company until he has paid the ut
termost farthng.
Among many tribes of Africa and Asia it is
customary for suitor to work as hired man
for his future father-in-law in the same manner
as Jacob worked for Laban. A certain value is
set on the girl whom he selects as his wife, and
when his wages amount to that much he gets
her, and not before. A man who falls in love
with a native girl of the Manzoni territory fares
better, for all he need pay for her is two deer
skins.

afraid of 'em! I've seen you go out of your
way to be civil to man, and I've seen that
same man turn his business over to someone else
and remark that "your firm must be in bad
way, since you had evidently to turn yourself
inside out to get business!" You're all right in
other ways, and you'd get along like creased
lightning if you weren't so polite, but the fact
is, Jones, that you're too perfect don't
understand it-they think there must be some
thing wrong somewhere, and you lose their
fdence. There! I've done! It's up to you nowl
Think it over!"
Jones stood up and squared his shoulders then
held out his hand. "All right" he said, "I'll
try it, it's the only thing 1 haven't tried. I'm
much"
mo you're not!" interrupted, you're not
bit obliged to me. You think I'm an interfering
old cuss who doesn't know what he is talking
about. Break off the habit of being obliged to
anyone my boy, that's how you're going to win
out!''
CHANGED HIS COURSE.
Well, Jones did break the habit. He learned
to 'give" as well as "take." He practiced the
art of being aggressive, learned to be insulting
with a smile, and cultivated discreet indulgence
Ill INC hdpPy SlV VI qulSh NSlhPSi, teputu-
ton for which gives a man more genuine respect
and liking than all the meeker virtues put
together. But, as l said before, Jones was clever
He had too much sense to over-do the thing.
He still carried his virtues with him, but they
were pocket editions now, and, though handy,
were kept out of sight for the proper occasion.
He learned that on occasion patience may be bad
policy, courtesy and consideration, detrimental,
and unselfshness, absolutely fatal But. as | say,
he kept these virtues handy.
Well, as a result he turned his luck" To-
day Jones is successful man; respected liked
and feared by his competitors! l met him the
other day. "Hullo, Jones" / said "are you still
much obliged to me% He laughed and shook his
my hand, mot bit of it," he said, you're
an interfering old cuss,' but you hit the truth
for once and did me mighty good turn"
That's the bit of real life promised you as an
illustration. Having finished my part and made
my bow let me again take refuge behind the
official "we."
There are lots of us like Jones. There are lots
of us whose faults lie in quite the opposite direc-
ton. If would himself right, let
him try to view himself and his actions as he
would those of another man, and judge according
y. If he will do this, squarely, fairly and un-
tiringly, till he discovers where his weak point
lies he is already the high-road to success,
and is in fair way to turn his luck" No four
eafed-clover will help him, no horseshoes or
hairs from lean black cat; Fridays or thir-
teens or saltspilling will prevent him, and the
only thing in the world that will aid him is the
exercise of little horse sense
Let the unlucky ones of the world take courage
then and start the race anew. Illuck can be
turnedl Dame Fortune can be sought and wooed
and won, be she ever so coy; but it takes grit.
it takes patience, and it takes common sensel

CHECKERS

In place of game this week we publish some
excellent advice to the young player taken from
the New Castle Weekly Chronicle. We might say
that the remarks apply to chess as well as to
checkers with the exception in chess we would
advise the beginner to learn three or four lead
ing openings up to about the tenth move in place
of the twentieth as in checkers
Learn any opening for, say twenty moves, SO
as to steer clear of the early losing moves, then
the study of useful problems and natural ability
will carry you through. 1t is wasted time to
learn game right through; before many moves
have been played the other fellow varies; and
the student must rely on his grasp of the board
to play the correct move to draw, or the win
ming move. Being thoroughly grounded up in the
openings will not make player He must think
for himself, weigh up the pros. and cons. at the
various stages of the game, and then his selected
move may afterwards be impressed on his mem.

b$tHf2U down thirteen at table; spill salt;
launch business enterprises on Friday;
change houses on Saturday; cut their
nails on Sunday; they may deliberately do all
these, but deep down in their hearts, way back
in their conscience is unacknowledged be-
lief in some kind of a mascot to which they
cling as tenaciously as ever did witch of yore
to the three singed hairs of her lean black cat!
But altogether apart from the luck attendant
upon horseshoes, four-leafed clover and similar
mascots, is undisputed and deep rooted be-
lief in universal "lucI" which, for good or
bad dogs a mans steps and dominates his career
Better be born lucky than born rich" is
common saying, while to say of a man that he
"never had any luck" is less
Now let us grant for the sake of argument
that this universal beef-superstition- what you
willis founded on fact. Let us concede that
"ill-luck" does pursue man (of those fortunate
ones who are ''bon lucky" we do not need to
speak,, we brought to the vital question,
Can luck be turned?"
Undoubtedly Il-uck is a disease, as definite
in its symptoms and their sequels any other
malignant disorder to which the flesh is heir.
Like maladies of the body its treatment requires
deep study-accurate dagnosis-specifc prescrip-
tons-and rigid adherence to the doctors orders
Now, to illustrate our meaning, suppose we fol-
low the example of the patent medicine advertiser
and cite an instance in support of our theory.
To do this let us drop the official "we" and let
the writer speak from his experience.
