MARRIAGE VOWS OF THE TRIBE OF
 HOPS
HOW ARIZONA NATIVES LOOK UPON THE MATTER or
 MATRIMONY
Parents Negotiate the Deal and Cere- mony Is Concluded by Both Taking Much Needed Shampoo-The Navajo Ceremony Much More Elaborate.

Marriage among the Hopi, tribe of Pueblo Indians living in this territory, is an institution regarding which those most concerned have least to say. When the parents of girl find it expedient for her to get married, they look up an available man and negotiate with his parents. After the matter has been arranged, the principals are notified, the girl goes to the home of the groom s parents and grinds corn for them for three weeks, while the groom makes a kind of sash for his bride. Then one morning at sunrise they bathe their heads in cold water, which completes the ceremony. There have been in stances of the groom g refusing to go through the performance, which has been proceeded without him and been accounted valid, and several weeks later he has yielded and had his head bathed.
 The Navajo ceremony is much more elaborate and impressive, but then the Navajo girls are much nicer. The regu lar tariff on Navajo girl entering the port of matrimony for the first time is twelve horses On the second occasion the tax is nine horses. while the sub sequent entries are free.
 This is not purchase money, but is merely tribute of respect to mother in-law and token of appreciation of the care and expense involved in bear ing and rearing the lady, recognition not unworthy of considerationSby civil ized grooms. On the other hand, and deserving of great condemnation, is that law of many tribes, unwritten but of much sanctity, that man and his mother-in-law shall never meet after the ceremony.

1t would appear that Solomon was but
eighteen years old when he began to
reign. Following the customs of the
times he went to Gideon, which was
on an elevated piece of ground where
he built an altar and offered sacrifices
to God. By the "customs of the
country" is meant that high points

nearer to deity. the most appropriate
place to worship God. After the
building Of the great temple, the good
Jews concentrated on Jerusalem AS
the place of worship. 1t will be re-
membered that when Jesus met the
woman of Samaria she asked as to
the proper place to worship God.
and the reply of the Master, John
4:23-24. 'The hour cometh and now
is. when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in
the truth; for the Father seeketh
such to worship Him. God is spir-
it; and they that worship him must
worship Him in spirit and in truth. -
1t were we'll if that great truth were

While at Gideon God appeared to
Solomon and asked him "What shall

Denatured Alcohol Plant.

For many years farmers. manufac-
turers and merchants in Nebraska have
been crying for systematic denatur-
ed alcohol campaign, believing that
such an institution would lead to a
wonderful industrial development in
this state where so many by-products
could be made with 80 little COMPARE
tive expense.
The National Corn Exposition has
met this cry and has established de-
natured alcohol plant under the direc-
tion of the Government Department
of Agriculture to be managed by a
scientist. DR.. E. C. Sawyer. This
plant has been brought here from Gin
cinnati and is one of the best and
largest in the country.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
himself was instrumental in having
this concession made to the corn show
and to the people of the west. Corn
figures in more than $50 commercial
products, Of which glucose. perhaps,
is the greatest. Twelve glucose fac
tories consume something like 50. 1000
900 bushels of corn year. which
means thirty cars or whole train
load a day of twenty hours.
One of the newest products from
corn is oil, and it has been 80 refined
as to form a good substitute for olive
oil. Already it goes into the manu-
facture of soap. nitro-glycerln. smoke
less powder. pharmaceutical glycerin
and number of other articles of as
widely different character. This oil
is extracted from the kernel of the
corn.
There are hundreds of ways in
which the systematic use of alcohol
made from corn will certainly increase
the value of that cereal not only in
the vegetable, but in the commercial
and industrial world as we'll.

human to do so. For this choice God
rewarded him many fold. by declaring
that He would not only give him Wis
dom. but wealth, power, human great
ness. Solomon thought this had all
been in dream. but went back to
Jerusalem and before the ark of the
Lord he performed imposing religi-
GUS ceremonies. In the Proverbs
written by Solomon he lays great
weight on the value of wisdom. In
the second chapter and sixth and
seventh verses he says, 1.-THE Lord
giveth wisdom. out of His mouth
cometh knowledge. He layeth up
sound wisdom for the righteous. is
a buckler to them that walk upright
ly." In tn. third chapter Solomon
eulogizes wisdom, saying it is better
than gold and silver, more precious
than rubies, has length of days. her
ways are pleasantness and all her
paths peace. tree of life. and happy
are those who retain it.
We come to the great central
thought for US. The Golden Text
of this lesson should be the great
command and advice of the blessed
Jesus. "Seek We the kingdom of God
and all these things shall be added
unto YOU" Here is the lesson to US
today. AS Solomon made the wise
choice of knowing Gods will, as he
chose Goodness above all else, 80
should we today cast every thing
aside and reach after the pearl of great
price-the kingdom of God and his con
Jesus. "What shall it profit man if
he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?'' This is the question
that every person of age of under
standing must answer. May God s
spirit move our readers and those
whom they can influence to make
choice of 'the kingdom of God'
and trust God. that He will add all
other things needful.

often asked by the intelligent and thrifty immigrant. Have you good roads? The most desirable immigrant comes from country where he is accustomed to good roads, and if he is located where the roads are almost impossible for great part of the year, he will remain no longer than to make and harvest the first crop
 One of the problems in connection with the transportation system of the country, and one which has in many ways been the subject of discussion, is the conges- tion of traffic and the inability of the railroads, during certain periods of the year to move promptly the products of the farm, factory and mine. Great in- convenience, and oftentimes enormous losses, are sustained both by the producer and the consumer because of the inability of the railroads to deliver freight to it's destination at times when it was most needed and commands the best prices The railroads have not been able to expand and enlarge their carrying facilities in proportion to the increase in production. At certain periods they do rot have sufh- cient locomotives and cars to meet the demands of commerce, while at other periods thousands of cars and locomotives, representing an investment of millions of dollars, stand idle. During the harvest season, and before the rain, snow and freezes come which render the roads in many sections of the country impossible and useless; the farmer is compelled to rush his products to market, which results in an overflow, depreciates prices and severely taxes the capacity of the rail- roads,
 It has been urged as a probable means of relief the improvement of the water ways of the country, which would, in large measure, assist the railroads in moving articles ready for transportation, in addition to many other benefits, but it would not avoid the congestion. It would only assist in relieving it. An i'm proved road system, permeating the coun- try districts. would remove the principal cause, would enable the farmer and small producer to place his products on the market at such times when the price IS commensurate with their value, when most convenient to him, and his time could not be better employed. The Amer ican farmer is more prosperous today than at any time in his history, and in a better position to dictate the price at which he will sell the products of his labor by withholding it from the markets. 4l the internal commerce of the country could be delivered to the railroad stations at any time during the year, and as the

LURES EMISSARY ON SHIP
Threatens To Hang Prisoner If 1e Men Are Not Given Up-A Fine Bluff That Worked to the
 Queens Taste.

London. April 25.-Viscount Mountmor- res. an Irish peer, has had an amusing adventure with party of Moorsh brl- gands whom he outwitted very much in the same way as Raisuli outwitted Kad Maclean.
 Lord Mountmorres was cruising off Cape Juby in a sail schooner when a party of Bedouins came off in a dingy and told him that the "Baleine" a French steamer, had gone ashore F miles to the south, and that the captain and crew. to the number of 19. had been captured by wandering brigands. The local Kad was well disposed toward the prisoners, but he was helpless against the brigands, who threatened to kill the Frenchmen on the spot.
 The Kaid sent a message to Mountmor- res begging for help, but warning him that if he attempted to rescue the French men by force they would all be killed. Mountmorres thereupon set sail for Las Palmas. where he reported the affair to the British and French consuls, and the French consul commissioned him to re- turn to Cape Juby and negotiate for the release of the prisoners.
 When Mountmorres got back he found that the brigands were divided into parties. One party claimed to own ten Frenchmen, the other party claimed nine. Those with the ten demanded a ransom of 20OOOs Moorish dollars per head; the other held that their nine captives were worth 3O00O Moorish dollars each. The total ransom demanded was about $S00,- GOO.
 A debate ensued and Mountmorresi off, fered 5000 for all 19 prisoners, and added that it must be accepted before sundown, and that he would wait on board his ship for the answer. Next morning boat put off from the shore carrying an emissary from the brigands rowed by three servants of the Kad. Mountmor- res took them on board, asked them politely after their health, and told them they were his prisoners
 Leaving the brigand on board he went ashore and met the brigands. T am go- ing to hang your man at once,' was his salutation The mortified brigands replied immediately that they would accept the $10O0.
 Ut is too late now" said Mountmorres' .the negotiations are off. But I will agree to exchange my one brigand for l9 Frenchmen."
 The brigands protested that 1t was an unfair bargain but Montmorres stood firm and the 19 shipwrecked men were dulv delivered on board his schooner, un- harmed and much entertained by the manner of their rescue.
