WINNING A lOLO BRIDE.
Custom in Western China That Calls

Ii is customary among the LOlos OF
western China for the bride on the
wedding morning to perch herself on
the highest branch of large tree
while the other female members OF
her family cluster on the lower limbs,
armed with sticks.
When all are duly stationed the
bridegroom chambers up the tree, as.
sailed on all sides by blows, pushes
and punches from the dowagers, and
it is not until he has broken through
their fence and captured the bride
that he is allowed to carry her off
Similar difficulties assail the bride
groom among the Mongolian Koraks,
who are in the habit of celebrating
heir marriages in large tents, divided
into numerous separate but com
municating apartments.
At a given signal as soon as the
guests are assembled the bride starts
off through the compartments, fol
lowed by her wooer. while the women
of the encampment throw every pos
sible impediment in his way, trip

of escape may be in her favor.

WHO ORIGINATED sHERMAN's
MARCH7
p. o. Box 666

A highly valuable contribution 70
history is contained in the instalment
of Mark Twain's Autobiography in the
current number of the The North Am
erican Review. 1t is General Grant s
own opinion in regard to the inception
OF Sherman's march to the sea.
1t was expressed by General Grant
shortly before his death, in CONVERSE
ton with Mark Twain, who wrote it
down at once on leaving him.
Neither of us originated the idea
of Sherman's march to the sea. The
enemy did it, said Grant.
He went on to say that the enemy
necessarily originated a great many OF
the plans that the general on the oppo-
site side gets the credit for. e. In this
case. Sherman had a plan all thought
out, of course. He meant to destroy
the two remaining railroads in that
part of the country. and that would
finish up that region. But General
Hood made a dive at Chattanooga. This
left the march to the sea open to Sher-
man. and so after sending part of his
army to defend and hold what he had
acquired in the Chattanooga region, he
was perfectly free to proceed. with the
rest Of 1t, through Georgia. He saw
the opportunity. and he would not have
been fit for his place If he had not
seized ii.
He wrote me- (the general is speak
ing) what his plan was, and sent him
word to go ahead. My staff were OPP
posed to the movement The chief
of his staff. the general said. even went
so far as to go to Washington without
the generals knowledge and get the
ear of the authorities. and he succeeded
in arousing their fears to such an ex-
tent that they telegraphed General
Grant to stop Sherman.

A QUIET. STEADY GROWTH.
kirwin. the Grain Market of the
North Solomon Valley, Improves.


Kirwin. Kas., July 23=Besides
having a great building activity in
1905. the half of the year 1906 has
witnessed a greater boom in the cree
ton of modern residences. That of
DR.. r. J. Dickson's, nearing compile.
ton, viii outshine all others. His
new modern home viii cost over S.
600. Then there is the new residence
of Dr. r. NJ. 1inney, costing about
S3,500, and those of James Lare A. J.
collar and Nate Kemp. costing about
$500 each. and that of Lou Deepen
about $1,000. A number of others
viii be erected before the close of the
year. while several others not emu
merated in the. above have been con-
templated.
During the days when Kirwin was
the site of the government land office.
no less than eighteen other real estate
and land offices were in existence.
Those were good old times, but how
much more solid is her business now
than it was then. Two good pa pers
are now supported without the aid of
government land Office patronage.
Substantial stone and brick buildings
have taken the place of the shacks of
land Office times cement walks are in
use, and a new crowd, many of them.
make up the present population of
Kirwin. During the building of the
Rock Island road through Phillips
county the citizens OF Kirwin were so
anxious to secure it that they paid for
the survey and profile of the road at
a great expense, and then lost out be-
cause it might result in few miles
longer roadway than the route the
road finally adopted.
During all the years since the Rock
Island tapped Phillips county, Kirwin
has grown slowly yet steadily. and IS
today one of the main grain and stock
centers in the north Solomon valley.
It has the Missouri Pacific, and there
is good reason to believe it will get
one of the north and south railroads
now projected if they are ever built.
No less than three are being built on
paper Kirwin will prosper just the
same. Surrounded by country rich
in growing grain and stock. and set
tied with a progressive class of citi-
zens and business men, who have
built up a town without the aid of
railroads or manufacturing industries.
with splendid schools and churches.
there has never been such a word as
failure on the lips OF any of her peo-
pie. The town will keep on growing
a s her years come and go. She has
the country adjacent to make her
forge ahead.
