Quoted on a mule to his house. Before she goes
to his house she drives all about town. In some
parts when the bride enters her new home the
bridegroom walks backwards holding dagger in

Among primitive peoples marriage usually
is more insistent and girls are courted in sven
a less romantic manner. Among the Australians
every girl must marry, whether she will not.
1t is considered wonderfully strange if a girl is
IL years old and is still unmarried. This is not
because the girls parents are romantic but
the parents feel that girl is only worth the toll
she gives.
"The man." says the Rev. H. c. Meyer regards
them more as slaves than in any other light
They are necessary commodity, valuable only as
long as useful to be thrown aside after they serve
their purpose
Worse still, their masters can throw them out
and divorce them at will. The Kaffirs buy their
wives with COWS and do not pay more than they
can help. woman sooner enters her new
home than she is given some task to perform so
her lord can if he has made a good bargain
He values her less than his COWS. This is seen
by the fact that he permits her to do all the work
except tend to his cattle and enter the kraal
where they are kept.

They are soon friendly footing and the ques
ton of marriage is readily settled. The settlement
as to what the girls dot shall be is an important
point at issue.
The Chinese, along with the Turks believe that
girl is far better off dead than unmarried Though
they are exceedingly anxious to have their daugh-
tiers married they believe it is beneath their dig
nifty to carry on these negotiations themselves but
leave this work to professional matchmaker. The
gobetween visits the different homes alone where
she takes note of the age education social posi-
tion and wealth of the different girls. She then
gives long and accurate account of the girls fam
lily. One is selected from this number and if both
parties are satisfied the affair is handed over to
the necromancer. If the stars say the young peo-
pie selected wisely the berothal is announced.
But the matchmaker has still part to play.
Shortly before the marriage she brings the young
girl the gifts the groom would send her. These
usually include leg of pork bag of money, two
bottles of wine, and two candles. But the girl is
expected to return part of these offerings. The
Chinese parents do not believe it is necessary for
young persons to love each other so long as the
augur is satisfied The young man rarely sees the
girl until after they married. When the bride
arrives at the home of the bridegroom he is there
to meet her. but when she steps out she is so
yelled that her features hidden. He leads her
into the room where the ceremony will take place.
Then he seats himself high chair to show
his superiority and she prostrates herself before
him until he lifts the veil and sees for the first
time his future Wife's face.

when her Judgment, which is excellent, fails her
she can call the stars, diamonds, hearts and clubs
to her aid.
But the marriage ceremonies are even more com.
plicated On the day before the wedding the bride
is conducted to her bath. There her friends spend
long hours combing her hair and while away the
time singing and talking of what her daily life will
be after she is married. The ceremony is performed
with the rites of the eastern church and takes
place eight days before the marriage. The service
is divided into three parts The first is where the
gold rings are exchanged. Then the bride and
bridegroom are crowned with crowns of silver fill

people succumb each year to some

When there Is sickness, examine
tile urine. Rheumatism is only a
symptom Of kidney trouble. 1t is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the

other symptoms OF weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble
many cases of stomach disease, head
ach pain in the heart, inactive liver.
ETC., are but sypmtoms; the cause
of which can be traced to feeble,
clogged kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void small quantity in n bottle

The idea that salesman is little

school drummer regarded his stock of
stories equally as valuable as his

Buyers, however, are not placing
orders with the man who tells the
funniest yarns. What they want are
good goods and low prices, and a good
joke will never take the place of a
poor line of samples.
A salesman who expects to do a

buyer and his assistants had better
quit the business and go on the stage.
When man wants good laugh he
goes to the theater and buys it, When
he wants to buy his spring line of
goods, however, he has too much on
his mind to laugh at string of jokes

WILL PREVENT WRECKS
ON The RAILROADS

w. o. Rees, one of the United Oil
company Office men in this city, has
Just received patent on railroad
reg lister signal devise. which, it is
claimed by the inventor, will prevent
wrecks on railroads. The devise IN
itself will not prevent wreck. but 1t
will place more responsibility Oh the
engineers of the trains aud the opera
tors who givo them orders.
The invention is registering dial
which is placed In the clocks in the
stations along the railroads and the
clocks and semaphores are connected
with wires so that when signal is
given to the engineer of an oncoming |
train 1t registers on the semaphore
and on the clock dial at the same
exact time that the signal was given.
II il q we'll known fact that most
Of the head.on wrecks ON railroads
lie between the engineer or the oper-
ator. =. The engineer either runs past
a signal or else the operator failed in
giving one. The Adobe wreck in
which fifty-three lives were lost. is
sample Of this. In such cases both
men claim they are right and the
engineers fireman either sides in
with the engineer OF else he
knows nothing about the occur
renee"
With Rees' invention the respon-
sibility can he placed where 1t be-
longs and the person responsible for
the accident IL in line for discharge.
II tho engineer is in error the dial
will tell It and II no signals were
given TO the engineer then the opera
tor has erred. These dials are changed
every twenty -four hours and sent into
the division superintendent's office
where they are carefully examined.
Ono dial Is now being tested out in
Denver and is said to be backing up
every claim that Is made for It by the
inventor. A st. Louis firm some
time ago offered to give $40, 600 for n
forty per cent interest In such an in.
vention, and II seems like Mr.. Rees
is now In line to make considerable
money out Of the venture. He con-
ceived the idea while working In
one OF the railroad offices In Denver.
A Santa Fe engineer run his train
into another standing on sidetraok
and both engines were wrecked. The
engineer claimed that he WAS not sig.
nailed and the operator stated en-.
phatically that tho signal was given.
Tho responsibility In this case could
not be established, hut II seems that
II the railroads used this devise gen.
orally. that some check on the re-
sponsibility Of such events could bo

REFUSES TO ALTER ORDER.
Supplementary Decision in La.
a.5.5 Dor Boycott Case, y

Washington. Jan. 11.-Justice Gould
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia has overruled motion of
the American Federation of Labor to
amend the courts order in the case
of the Buck Stove and Range com.
pany Of st. Louis, in which the court
recently temporarily enjoined the fed
Grafton from placing the company on
a boycott and unfair list in the fed
Grafton publications. The motion con-
tended that the order was erroneous
because it was made to run until the
final decree in the case instead of
until the further order of the court;
because 1t may be construed to en-
join the defendants from uniting to
agree not to. patronize the plaintiffs
products; or construed to prevent the
defendants and their associates from
saying to others that they had united
and combined not to patronize such
products; or construed to enjoin their
announcing that they had combined
not to deal with others who should
deal with the company.
The motion also contended that the
order abridges freedom of speech of
all the defendants and freedom of the
press, (which is protected by the first
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States .....-,-,..-.. ...- ~. a.

in any way.

Surprised the ''Chain Gang"

Last nights meeting OF, the Be-
midi lodge of Odd Fellows was a
very interesting one. 1t had been
the intention to install the elective
officers for the ensuing year, but
owing to the fact that the noble
grand-eleCt and the vice grand-elect
were absent, it was decided to post
pone the installation until the regular
meeting on Friday evening of next
week.
At the conclusion of the regular
session of the lodge Mrs. ]. K.
Iituss district president of the
RebekahS, assisted by number of
the members of that order, dropped
in on the Odd Fellows and served
an elegant supper, which took the
old boys" completely by surprise.
To say that the social session that
followed was enjoyed is putting it
