IN the African jungle dwells pretty
little bird that lives on honey.
The saccharine dainty Is there
L found In the hollows of trees and
under the bark, where what Is known
as the carpenter bee bores and depos-
Its his extract from the buds and
blossoms Of the tropical forest.
The bird is called the "honeybird"
because 1t IS sure guide to the de-
posts of the delicacy. The bird dis
likes the laborious task Of pecking its
way through the bark to reach the
honey, and SO, wise in the ways Of
men, 1t rrocures help. 1t locates a
nest of honey, then flies about until 1t
sees some natives or hunters. to whom
II shows itself. They know the honey
bird and know that 1t will lead them
to the treasure store. Following the
bird, which fits just In advance,.1bay

and readily lay 1t open with hatchets
or knives. Taking what they want,
there Is always enough left clinging
to the tree and easily accessible to sat
tsfy the appetite Of the clever little
bird.

Continuing, the Star Journal says:

0bhtluulub, lne SLdl journal says.
County Clerk Highberger and his
assistants are opposed to issuing a
license without first obtaining an
opinion from the district attorney in
view of the fact that there is no
court decision by which 1t can be de-
'ermined whether or not the mar
riage law of 1888 displaces the eff
fectiyeness of the law of 1861.
The statutes relating to marriage.
or the section which relates to mis-
cegenation. are identical in section
i769. passed in 1861. and section
4163, passed in 1888, except that the
Old law, or the law of 1861. declares
that first cousins may not marry.
while the law of 1888 does not men
tion first cousins at all in the list of
relations which are barred from mar
r--S@e in Colorado. Section 4163 does
not carry clause which says that
all laws or previous sections in CON
flict with it are repealed.
There have been marriage licenses
issued in Colorado to first cousins
since the law of 1883 was passed, un-
der the impression that marriages of
first cousins in this state were legal
ized by that act. But, so far there
mas been no test of the matter in
couIt and there is no court decision
the old law of 1861 is not still eff
fective and that marriages between
cousins of the first degree are not
prohibited in Colorado.
A well known couple in this city
who are first cousins, it is stated. will
apply for marriage license this
week. and the fact that this will be
the FIRST case that has come up since
the new county clerks force took
charge of the office has started an in
Nestigation as to whether or not first
cousins can be legally married in this
state, with the result that leading
attorneys and judges are discovered
TO be widely divided on the question
Many contend that the old law is
still effective. in that 1t has never
been repealed, and hold that all mar
riages of first cousins which have
taken place in Colorado are illegal,
and that many complications may
arise in regard to property rights of
the couples so married or in regard
TO their estates
There are few lawyers or judges
who will advance the opinion that
the old law is repealed. although 1t
is admitted that this was probably
the intention when the new law was
passed. though there Is no clause in
the new law which so states.
