Good Company for 1909.

You are careful what choice OF
friends the young of your house
hold make. You do not open wide the
door to those whose speech and be
havior betray i'll breeding and lax
morals. Are you as careful to shut
it against books and periodicals that
present vulgar and demoralizing pic
lures Of life and its purpose? Per-
haps you are among those who have
found that the Youths Companion oc
cupies the same place in the fam
lily reading that the high-minded
young man or woman holds among
your associates. The Companion Is
good without being "goody-goody." 1t
is entertaining, it is informing. In
its stories 1t depicts life truly, but
it chooses those phases of life in
which duty. honor, loyalty, are the
guiding motives.
A full description OF the current
volume will be sent with sample cop
les Of the paper to any address on

once sends $1.75 for years sub

panion's new Calendar for 1909. "In

A LAND SALE IN BOLIVIA.
Survival Of Curious Old Ceremony
Called "Feoffment."

Our remote ancestors did not sell
land as it is sold nowadays, the seller
merely giving TO the buyer an ac-
knowledged deed Of the premises.
According TO their customs, no land
title could pass except by "transmuta-
ton Of possession" and this they ac-
complished by a solemn ceremony,
called by an old term a 'feoffment."
The seller and the buyer went on
the land together in the presence Of
witnesses. usually most Of the village
folks. The seller took n tuft of grass
or clod OF earth and handed it 20
the buyer. declaring with a loud voice
his intention TO transfer to him the
possession Of the land in question.
Centuries have elapsed since the
English race has sold land in this
way and It has been supposed that
the practice had become extinct. A
few years ago. however, New Eng
land lawyer, returned from Bolivia
gave the following account Of a land
sale within 100 miles Of la Paz, the
Bolivian capital:
AtAi AAAtAlANh ndN AAAAlllNu AhN Az
des 10 q height Of 1,4O0 feet, accom-
panied by a native Bolivian who had
agreed to sell some mining property
The subprefect OF the province and a
notary went with them. The Indian.
living on the route were called on
as the party passed along. until finall.
the complete company numbered about
300.
When the party reached It's destina
tion-the project called the assembl,
70 order. declared what was TO be
done. and the notary wrote it down
The seller then tore up dirt and
grass with his hands and handed #
10 the buyer. who at once began to
run wildly about the land, turn somer.
assaults and cut up all manner o.
funny capers.
This. the notary told the party, was
to convince the native Indians that tn,
/ purchaser had actually taken lega
! possession Of the land, and he further
stated that the Indians and their de
/ scendants would defend the newcom
( cr's title against any and all intruder.
until he or his heirs should see ct e
transfer the possession Of the lanC
to still others in a similar manner

THREATENED TIE DEITY.
An Impious Relic of Arizona Will,
Under Spanish Rule.

An impiors Relic OF Arizona Whit
Under Spanish Rule.
Among primitive peoples gifts ar
made to the gods IN the hope Of Sc
curing their favor. Quite logically
also, when a god does not respond bis
worshipers cut OF their gifts TO him
and sometimes even desecrate his i'm
age. But it is odd 20 find a survival
Of this notion among Christians, how
ever simple minded they may be.
A very curious Instance is contained
in a report filed in the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington. 1t tells Of
what happened in Arizona while un
der Spanish rule and is amusingly
naive in its story Of how the people
Of one department. tried TO threaten
the Deity and thereby make him give
khem rain. The report says:
Considering that the Supreme Creator
has not behaved we'll IN this province, a.
In the whole OF last year only one shower
OF rain fell: that IN this summer. not
withdrawing all the professions, prayers
and praises. it has not rained at all. and
consequently the crops OF Castanas OF
which depend the prosperity OF the whole
department, are entirely ruined, Il Is de

Article ]. II within the peremptory pc
riod Of eight days from the date OF this
decree rain does not fall abundantiy nc

Article III. II the drought continues
eight days more. the churches and chap

and other objects OF devotion will be de
ntroyed.
Article III r. finally, in a third perioI
OF eight days IL shall not rain, all tn,
priests friars. nuns and saints, male ant
female, shat - beheaded. And for tn,
present permission is given for the com
mission OF all sorts OF sin IN order tina
