ESKIMO WOMEN.
Rude Arctic Tribes Have Little Re-
spect For Marriage Bond.

spect For Marriage Bond.
The United States general agent of
education in Alaska, writing in the
Metropolitan Magazine of life among
the Eskimos, says in regard to the wo-
men of the tribes:
There is no special ceremony among
the Alaskan Eskimos connected with
marriage. If the parties are young, it
is largely arranged by the parents.
Among some of the tribes the husband
Joins the wifes family and is expected
to hunt and fish for them. If he re-
fuses to give his father-in-law the furs
he takes he is driven out Of the house,
and some one else more active and ODE
dent Is installed us husband Of the girl.
Sometimes young woman has in turn
ten or twelve husbands before she final
ly settles down to Il permanent mar
ried state. Under this condition Of
things it is not strange that the women
become Indifferent and often untrue to
their husbands. Love and mutual af-
lection have SO little to do with the
marital relation that occasionally hus-
bands and wives are interchanged.
For instance, in one of the northern
villages dwelt family Of expert fish
ers and another that was successful ut
hunting the reindeer. One year the
fisherman thought he would like to
hunt reindeer. Finding that his neigh
Dor would like to try fishing, they ex-
changed wives for the summer. The
woman who was Il good hunter went
of with the fisherman, and vice versa.
Upon returning home in the fall they
returned to their respective husbands.
Eskimo wives are frequently beaten
by their husbands and sometimes to
escape abuse commit suicide. Occa-
sionally wife resists and If physically
stronger thrashes the husband. Polyg-
amy prevails to limited extent Ere
quently the second wife is looked upon
and treated Us n servant in the family.
Among EskimOs, the same us among
all uncivilized people, woman's is a
hard lot, and yet, Notwithstanding all
her disadvantages, she has voice in
both village and family affairs. The
husband neither makes an important
bargain nor plans trip without con
sulting and referring to his wife. Large
families Of children are the exception;
few have above four. The drudgery of
women is such TINT they sometimes de.
stroy their offspring, particularly If the
child be girl. If family is very poor
they sometimes give away to childless
neighbors all their children but one
Thus during childhood boy may pass
from one to another, to be adopted by
several families in turn. Children arc
also sold by their parents, the usual
market price of a child being sealskir
bag of oil or an old suit of clothes
The children are given names of varl
GUS animals. bird, fish, sections Of coun
try, winds, tides, heavenly bodies, etc
Sometimes they have as many us siz
names. Children are rarely punished
They generally have their own way
and are usually treated with great
kindness by their own or foster par

Mrs. Kelly interrupted "Sit up and

Raymond could see that Kelly was
disturbed, and that he had something
to tell which he did not care to have
Nora know. 1t was plain that he no
longer minlmized the danger, and his
face fell easily into stern lines.
Selling the moment when his wife
left the room to put the youngsters to

1t is related of Dean Swift, whose sa-
tirical wit furnished many of the keen
est epigrams found In the history Of
this difficult type of literature, that two
lovers came to his house one stormy
night to be married. The dean having
retired for the night. the rap at his door
soon brought him to window over
looking the expectant couple. Leaning
out of 1t and over them and learning
the object of their errand, he exclaimed
to them without any vexing delay,
"Join your right hands."
Then, pronouncing them "man and
wife, he added the following rhyth-
mical elaboration of the Scripture
what God hath Joined together let no
man put asunder:
Here, under this window. in stormy
weather.
Join this man and woman together.
Let none but he who made the thunder
Fer put this man and woman asunder.

flrelIght brought out stern lines on
their faces. At length Brown, the cor
poral, said solemnly: "Well, IL they
want fight they can have it. But say,
Rob, does the captain know you're on
the road? There was hullabaloo in
town about you last night. A lot Of the
fellers think you went down to give
away the camp, and some said If you
ever came back they'd string you up.
Now, l guess you better stay here
while 1 ride up and tell the cap you're
here"
81 don't think that's necessary, but
you might jog along with me If you
want to go. Otherwise I'll go alone"
"Well, I'll tell ye, Rob-" said Brown
in an embarrassed way, ''these mon
keys on the peak have got an awful
slant against you and Kelly, and they's
two or three fellers who are working
against you underhand right along.
You don't want to take no chances.
They'll do We If they can"
Raymond was impressed with
Browns earnestness and by the ad
mlrable loyalty Of his fellows camped
there in the snow. Boys, what are
you staying here for?" he asked. ''This
isn't picnic. What do you do it for?"
Brown answered, eve do it because
we want to help these miners stand off
the 'plutes.'"
Raymond unused. "But you're friend
ly toward Kelly & Raymond"
"Sure thing. You fellers are all right.
You've punched cows, and Kelly is an
old broncho buster himself. But letme
tell We this, Rob, we're goin' to need
. you and your men If these chaps come
up here the way they talk O. DOM

boys have been rollin' logs for fort
all day. You can just about see it

"Well. suppose We ride along" said
Raymond and US he took last look
around his heart warmed to these
rough souls who had taken sides in Il
quarrel not their own, moved by n
blind desire to aid their fellows In n
war against privilege and social caste.
Brown called another man out Of the
group to ride with them, and they
started away. On the hill east Of the
town and overlooking the valley lights
could be seen Pickering. The corporal
lifted his arm and pointed that way.
There they are building the fort"
Raymond's blood began to stir, his
military instruction to frcshen, and for
moment. rs he paused there in the
darkness, he understood something of
Munro's Joy in a defensive campaign
but he said aloud: ITS all mistake

Rabbi Levi Kleeberg died suddenly

For some time Rabbi Kleeberg had been
in poor health, due to stomach trouble.
In the hope Of recuperating he went to
Atlantic City short time ago.
The deceased was for many years rab
bi Of Congregation Adath Israel in
Louisville and he endeared himself to
the members Of his flock, and was held
in loving esteem by the older Jewish
residents Of Louisville. He is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Dec Herr, Of
New Haven, and Mrs. Hugo Bruch, of
New York, and son, DR.. Feliz Klee-
berg, who is connected with the city
health department Of New York. The
funeral service took place in New Haven,

And if you want to see
People frown at you as you pass,
And use you slightingly;
If you desire quarrels, snubs and foes,
Put on fretful face
Scowl at the world-you II find it shows
The very same grimace.
The world is like looking glass,
And if you wish to be
On pleasant terms with all who pass,
Smile on them pleasantly;
Be helpful, generous and true,
And very soon you ii find
Each face rejecting back to you
An image bright and kind.

tankcar plunged into the caboose and
crushed like an eggshell, catching the
people in trap. s - " Il
About the same time the accident oc-
Cured, the middle span of the big
railroad bridge across the Platte river
