MARRIAGE IN FAR GREENLAND.
Ceremonies Short and Strenuous, But
Matches Successful.

The courtship and marriage customs
among the Greenlanders were in early
times simple and unceremonious
enough, since we are told that when a
lovelorn youth made up his mind as
to the girl he wanted to adorn and be
useful in his hut of ice or snow, he
went to her home, seized her by the
hair or wherever he could secure
good grip on her, and dragged her. to
his own domain, where she was ex-
pected to "stay put" without any
further marriage ceremony.
If an affluent bridegroom, he would
perhaps soothe her lacerated feelings
by presenting her with a new lamp or
some other article of household utility.
No matter how willing or even eager
the bride was to marry a young man,
Eskimo etiquette demanded that she
should resist every attempt to drag
her to her new home, and she must
weep and wall bitterly once she was
there. Indeed, she must continue to

MORSE CASE CITED.
Courts Fair and Efficient, Says Gen.
Charles w. Russell.


Gen. Charles w. Russell, assistant
attorney general of the United States,
who is in New York prosecuting a
case of peonage in which the Florida
East Coast railway is involved, could
see no adequate cause for the popular
idea that rich men never go to jail

he said, SHOWS the absurdity of such
a notion That man alone, and he is
only one of a large force of account
ants engaged in the successful prose-
cution of crooked bank officials by the
government, has put SO wealthy and
so-called respectable gentlemen in
jail
The whole matter is analogous to
the care of sick poor man and sick
rich man. The rich invalid can hire
the best doctors; he can take all the
time that is necessary to get well; he
can avail himself of proper climate
and environment, and it's matter of
common sense that he stands bet
ter show of recovery than the other
fellow. Just so with poor criminals
and rich criminals. The rich ones

WAS SOLE RULER OF ISLAND.
Michael Waters, "King of lnnishmur-
ray, OF Sligo, Is Dead.

Michael Waters, the king" Of In
nishmurray, stormbeaten island
about nine miles off the coast OF Sligo
has died at his residence there and his
funeral was carried out with all the
accompaniment of ancient Celtic cere
monial, the body receiving final rest
ing place in the ancient monastic es'
tablishment of st. Molaise and st. Co
Iombkille.
This event recalls quaint survival
of the old Irish clan system. The late
liking" was actually ruler of the island,
his 80 subjects accepting his word as
law. He always acted with impartiality
and Justice and his decisions were
never questioned. He was king for
more than 35 years, having succeeded
his mother as ruler, and he in turn
handed his authority over to his son
Michael.

Kirkwood, was arrested on January
II, 1907, at his home on the charge of
forgery, while entertaining his pastor
and deacon of his church. He
pleaded guilty on the next day to
forgery, and by three o'clock in the
afternoon was on his way to prison,
sentenced to five years.
CHARLES T. GROTEFEND was
one of the most prominent young men
in st. Louis. Although only 80 years
old, Grotefend was teller in the Wash

thought to be one of the coming
financial men of the city. 1t was dis
covered that he had embezzled more
than $4,000 of the banks money and
he fed to Germany. He returned
after time, and upon pleading guilty
was sentenced to five years at Fort
Leavenworth.

WEALTH is UNAVAILING.
Declared PowerIess to Afford Security
to the Wrongdoer.

There is very widespread impress
sion especially among the cynical"
said Rev. DR.. Thomas R. Slicer, that
wealth gives security to the wrong
doer and goes far to give immunity
from punishment.
1T was openly boosted, in the case
of the policy king. Al Adams, that his
accumulated stealings from the poor
would guarantee immunity, even if in
dicted. And this impression gains
force when the criminal is not of low
origin and mean practice, but has sur
roundings of elegance and associations
of refinement. 1t is relief to those
who believe in the essential right
mindedness of the majority of our cit
liens to have distinct proof in such
cases that wealth is no defense against
justice and cannot always be made the
reserve force in a conspiracy against
honesty.
When the poor man pays the pen
atty of wrong-doing society is protected
usually by the removal of one not a
very dangerous member of it's body
using the ordinary avenues of bust
ness represents more than the individ-
ual. He represents power and pride
and the infatuation which envy to-
ward the well-to-do is sure to engen-
der. His conviction, therefore, is in
far greater degree a rebuke to evil
influences and defense of the COM
mon veal.
1--WE hope to reach the point after
awhile where the mere facts of wealth
and poverty will be not so interesting
as they now appear. The really inter.
esting consideration is this:
rs man so poor that he hasn't
the means of growth or hasn't the
means of development? Or, on the
other hand, is he so rich as to be
crippled and encountered?
Whatever removes the supersti-
tious awe which surrounds the wealthy
criminal and gives ample justice to
each man, as simply a man, must re-
enforce the morals of the community"

Now Wearing Stripes.
Here is partial list of wealthy men
convicted of offenses against the law,
who are behind the bars:
A. F. BONELLI, formerly banker
of Cleveland, O., arrived in New York
on September II last from Brazil, a
prisoner, in custody of a deputy sher-
iff and an assistant prosecuting attor-
ney of his home state. He is charged
with the theft of $4,000 which it is
alleged he received from laborers un-
der the pretext that he would forward
it to their relatives in Italy. The two
state officers travelled all the way to
Santos, Brazil, to get their man-and
got him.
SAMUEL SEELEY was a promi-
nent, respected and influential resi-
dent of Brooklyn. His position as
cashier of the National Shoe and
Leather bank in New York gave him
prestige in financial circles. He was
accused and found guilty of having
defaulted with $354,OOO of the banks
funds and served five years and four
months in the Kings county peniten-
tiary.

is arduous. There are no police on
the island, all matters being settled
by the king" there are no priests and
the people are never called upon to
pay taxes.
The island is full of interest to the
antiquary. The castle" inhabited by
the Late king" is situated near the
landing stage and close to the ruins
of an ancient town. The wall of the
town varies in height from IA to IS
feet, and it is broad enough to drive
cart around it's top.
The interior of the enclosure pre-
sents a remarkable appearance, for
there may be seen churches, cells,
houses shaped like beehives, tombs, al
tars, a wishing stone and crosses.
Within the old wall are three churches,
and tradition has it that the monastery
was the joint work of st. Molaise and
st. Columbkille during the latter half
of the sixth century.

Kid Elberfeld, late manager of the
lamented Yankees, has lost all his
faith in the horseshoe as an omen OF
luck. Once upon time the Kid looked
on the rusty old shoe as the one best
bet in the luck-producing game, but
now he puts it in the same class as
Is, the lemon and other producers Of
trouble. Once the Kid always carried
a horseshoe with him on his travels,
but he has tossed it in the attic with
other forgotten memories such as 300
batting averages of the dim past. No
manager ever had a more strenuous
time of plotting ball team than the
'Tobasco Kid" During his short
reign of terror and horror, the New
York team managed to win game
every now and then. Such a feat
would cause much rejoicing on the
part Of the Kid and give him renewed
hope. Other interesting events in the

R. M. SNYDER, the promoter of the
Central Traction bill in ST. Louis, was
convicted and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary for bribery on Oc-

Eviction in the famous Doodle scandal
of st. Louis, following years inves-

Central Traction bill. Uthoff was to

more than $4,000. He was one of the
states witnesses in the trial.

the New York World has not only

1t is said that this extremely simple
marriage ceremony is the only one
still in use on the east coast of Green
land, and the laws governing divorce
have as little ''red tape" connected
with them as have the laws of mar
riage. But it is maintained that as a
rule married couples live on quite
amiable terms, for the Eskimo are not
fond of quarreling, and they like peace
in the house and with their fellow
men.
One rarely hears qnarreling and
wrangling in an Eskimo home, and no
class of people are fonder of their
children than are Eskimo fathers and
mothers. Not even the unwelcome
girls are treated harshly, and as for
the boys, they may do a,out as they
will Although they are given this
large liberty, they are often less

When eggs are worth % cents and
more per dozen, it is at a time when
the hens are being fed soft food that
costs money! or is worth money If 1T
has been produced on the farm.
In the summer the hen picks UP the
food material that Is necessary for pro-
ducng eggs that would, in all probabil
ity, go to waste We're 1t not for her
industry. The farm hen utiliZes as food
material which the farmer cannot sell.
1T may be bit of grass, weed, a
piece of bone, insects, or some refuse
from the kitchen. All of these things
are made to do service as egg pro-
ducng food. In summer it is necessary
to give the hens cool rather than warm
quarters. In winter the hens will have
to be kept warm in some, manner. Ii
the houses are not warm, it must be
done by food
To get eggs in the winter time
means special buildings. special
breeds. special care and feed and good
prices. To get eggs in the summer
time means plenty OF hens on farm
range, and after all 1t is matter of
cost of feed that affects the question of
profit in the production of eggs.

siIaoe instead Of Grain.

The Ohio experiment station has
been carrying on several investiga-
lions to determine to what extent ST.
lage may be made to take the place of
grain in feeding dairying cattle. Two
rations were fed, carrying practically
the same amount of dry matter.
In one ration over SO per cent Of
this dry matter was derived from
grain. In the other ration over 81
per cent of: the dry matter was de-
rived from grain, no silage being fed
The cows fed with the silage ration
produced 967 pounds of milk and sos
pounds of butter fat per 100 pounds of
dry matter.
The COWS fed on the grain ration
produced S.13 pounds of milk and SO
pounds of butter fat per 100 pounds
of dry matter.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds OF
milk was 6S7 cents with the silage
ration, and s1.O55 with the grain ra-
ton.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
butter fat was 1871 cents with the
silage ration and 22.1 cents with the
grain ration.
The average net profit per COW per
month Cover cost of labor) was 1864
with the silage ration and $2.465 with
the grain ration.
