They have no fixed home or settle

ries and game.
Their marriage ceremony is unique

4 few companions dance about the

Z curious resemblance between the
dances Of the prospective bridegroom
and those Of many Of the game birds

companied by her mother, starts to-
ward the dwelling of the young men.
They frequently stop, squatting in the
trail while the ardent sutton and his
companions continue their entreating
and bewitching dances. winding round
and round the girl. Presents are gen.
orally demanded and must be given
before the reluctant bride will pro-
coed. Finally the women arrive near

shout pierces the air, and the BRIDE
groom, like a frenzied animal, tears

A GHOST STORY.
What the White object In the PubIIo

What the White Object In the Public
Road Really Was.
Once upon a time, when was quite
a small boy, was very much inter
ested whenever I heard any one talk
Ing of ghosts and haunts.
One evening l was sent to the store.
which was about two miles from home,
and as It was rather late when 1 left
home It necessarily made 1t after sun
down before l could get started back
home from the store.
1t was out in the country. and, as
usual in the country. when night is
drawing nigh you always have some
woods to go through.
Upon this occasion as 1 approached
the woods 1t seemed to me to be get
ting very dark indeed. but l was as
brave as a small boy could be-
AS l tripped lightly along over the
gravelly country rUad. lest / should
make some noise and some kind of a
'booger" get me, l spied in the road
few rods in front OF me some kind Of
white object which seemed to me to
be moving about. But / was brave,
SO cautiously ventured closer and a
little closer. and as / approached 1t not
only seemed to move, but to make some
kind of a low, grunting noise, and was
coming toward me. When l saw II
coming toward me my courage failed
me. and made quick turn. and back
down the road went as fast as my
feet could carry me. and the faster /
went the faster tried to 60 till ]
came to house and halted. The folks
heard me running down the road, and
came out to investigate, and with what
little breath l had left I managed to
tell them that had seen a ghost up
the road and was afraid to go home
by myself.
So the man of the house and some OF
the boys also came out and proceeded
to show me by the ghost. When they
came in sight, they saw that what /
had told them was really true, and all
hesitated In going up to the white OBJ
Ject which was moving rapidly to and
fro and at the same time making ali
sorts of queer moaning and granting
sounds.
The father ventured closer and closer
till he was at the object. And what
do you think 1t was? 1t was a sack
with two pigs in 1t, which farmer
had lost of his wagon as he was going
home before night.
Thus endeth this ghost story, and II
they were all followed up they would
have similar ending no doubt

jenkins was half frantic with
toothache, and as he stood before
the glass examining the offending
molar he was really quite startled
at his enormously large mouth. Ii
was so big that it positively fright
ened him. He thought the best
thing he could do would be to swal-
low himself and SO put an end to his
pain. On calmer reflection he de-
termined to visit the dentist. When
ne was in the fatal chair and the
dentist had his forceps and hammer
in his hand panic seized poor Jen-
kins. He began to twist, stretch
and move his enormous mouth
about in such a frightening way
that the operator became alarmed.

At last he spoke; but, alas, he was too
late She had given her promise to
another, and that other she welded.
1t so happened that within the first
year the young husband died, and the
widow bethought herself of her old
sweetheart and gave him the coffin to
make. He did so. and, allowing what he
considered n decent time to elapse he
again proposed. Alas, he was again too
ate! Strange to say. the second hus-
band was short lived. and again thu
carpenter had the coffin to make. Then
he resolved to cast delicacy aside. and
Just as he drove the last screw firmly
