Pays to Tell tire Truth

It is rather an unusual record that
every defendant l., criminal action
who came to trial in the present SEES
sion of district court, pleaded not
guilty, with the exception Of one and
still all were found guilty. The fell
low who pleaded guilty, Gust Opshal,
was given a suspended sentence. The
others all got nice big Thanksgiving
packages handed them. Evidently
it pays to tell the truth.

BAPTIST PREACHER
BUILDS FOUNDATION
Sawyer Minister Is Building Founda'
ton for New Church Under Big
Tent-Other Interesting News.

The Baptsts are building a new
church at Sawyer. The Rev. Z. Hal
liwell, recently from South Dakota,
is in charge of the congregation. Mr.
Halliwell used to do his work Under
large tent, and bringing it with
: him to Sawyer, is turning it TO good
use by doing their foundation and
preliminary work under 1T, thus hav-
ing an effective protection against
! the inclemencies and vicissitudes Of
the season.
Mr.. G.. B. Benson, who operates
the Farmers restaurant at Sawyer,
must have a knack Of his own IN
managing restaurant for he has
driven every other eating house out
of Sawyer and now has the field to
himself. This is not to be wondered
at, however, if you had once had your
dinner at his place as he certainly
puts up one of the best meals we
have had the opportunity to enjoy in
long time.
Among other old friends which the
1ndependent representative had the
Measure to meet at Sawyer the other
dav was Mr.. G. G. G. Willis, who
for years, was one OF our coHnty's
commissioners (and more consclen'
tious one Ward county never had)
and who is now one of Sheriff Kel'
ley's deputies. Mr.. Willis is, al
present. busy collecting delinquent
taxes and he says he is doing all he
can to save the delinquents the extra
costs but that if they don't come
through pretty quick lie will have TO
20 after them according to law. lie
also met Mr.. John J. Johnson, the
efficient and pleasant manager OF
the lumber yard; Mr.. F. S. Toffle
mire, the genial banker; Mr.. ]. l..
McKinnon, who keeps general
store; about half dozen. more or
less Of the Hodges family; R. F..
White, the barber; f. D. Skinner

"Telegraph" and others. Our circu-
lation man had to 60 over to Sawyer
with a fine toothed comb to find
enough people who don't take the
Independent to make a dozen ne"
subscribers. But he got them.
The little four year old boy OF Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Hodges at Sawyer
had the misfortune the other day
while coasting, to run into a barn
wire fence and get his face cut up
badly. We will predict, however,
that it will not be very long before
the little fellow is ready to try it
again.

: France, and parts of Switzerland, II II
made of white roses.
In Servia, Denmark, Norway. and
Sweden, they wear crowns of silver, also
wreath and a tiny crown of myrtle
the anctents considered this plant sacred
to Venus-and II a bride wears such a
crown, she must plant a twig from It,
which by its growth will predict her
future.
A curious old custom in ireland Is to
endeavor to procure for the young bride
sprig Of hawthorn or an old twig OF
mistletoe. Both are used asa primitive
fibula to hold the bridal veil in place.
German bride is not content unless
her wreath is OF red and white roses
mixed with myrtle leaves.
Origin of Veil Unknown.
The bridal veil has been the subject OF
much discussion. The source Of the orr
gin of the custom Is not definitely known.
The ancient Anglo-Saxons had four men
hold square piece of cloth-in place
of the present veil-over the bride and
bridegroom during the ceremony to hide
their bushes.
Then 1t was argued that it was really
the bride who needed It. Thus the heavy
cloth was gradually transformed into a
gossamer fabric, which, II perchanee the
bride really should blush, only serves to
enhance the loveliness Of the shy maid.
If. while on the way to the church, the
bride should see dove. a lamb, a spider.
or a toad, or a wolf. she can always be
certain Of good luck. On the other hand,
it is rather a bad omen to meet a pig,
a monk, a cat, hare. or a serpent.
On arriving at the church. the bride
should be careful to step over the thresh-
old with the right foot first. This will
insure happiness in her marriage state.
Under no circumstances must the we'd
ding ring be tried on before the cere-
mony, and the one Of the bridal pair who
first sights the other will be the reign
ing spirit In the home.

OLD SUPERSTITTONS AND
LEGENDS OF MARRIAGE
COVER MANY COUNTRIES

One OF the daintiest and luckiest of
color schemes for a bride is white and
blue. According to ancient custom, all
girls named Mary will be fortunes fav-
orites If choosing these colors for their
wedding frock. blue being the color con-
secrated to the Virgin Mary. Mary
Stuart, however. was married in white
and blue. but in her case the charm was
not potent.
Old superstition forbade the groom to
gaze on the bride in festal attire until he
saw her at the altar; II he did, the we'd
ding was put in peril. The bride must not
look upon her image after she has COM
pleted her toilette, but should turn her
back to the mirror while putting on her
gloves.
She may choose whatever Jewels she
fancies, except pearls: these, beautiful
though they always be. are forbidden all
brides, since they bespeak of future tears.
The bridal wreath or crown and the
voluminous veil all have their legendary
significance. No satisfactory explanation
has been found for the origin of the usage
of orange blossoms.
According to some old writers, the
custom was introduced by the crusaders,
who brought IT from the Saracens. In
the Orient these flowers ever were con-
sidered the favorites for the decking of
brides, having been thought so on ac-
count of the orange trees in the East
bearing ripe fruit and blossoms stimuli
taneously. Besides, the pure white of
their sheen speaks of innocence and ideal
purity.
Legend of Orange Wreath.
A legend tells of a beautiful Spanish
girl, daughter of a gardener in royal
gular beauty. She loved a youth dearly,
but her father was too poor to give her
a sufficient dowry. and her lover was too
poor to marry without this.
It so happened that the King of France
sent an ambassador to the King OF
Spain to obtain cutting of this famous
tree. He found this impossible, but final
ly bribed the pretty girl by promising her
that he would pledge himself to fulfill
her hearts dearest wish. She managed
surreptitiously to obtain the cutting, and
as a reward was given the sum needed
for her dowry. On her wedding day
she wore a wreath of the flowers through
which she had won her happiness. No
mention is made of what the owner of the
tree said.
Customs I'm Use OF Wreath.

FOREIGN PARENTS BLAME
RUDENESS OF AMERICAN
CHILDREN ON MOTHERS
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

child who rushed up to his mother-ig-
noring your presence in the room-to
proffer some request, to which the mother
gave an answer with no apparent recog-
milton OF their child's rudeness?
The careful mother teaches her chill
d:en to stand by her side when she IS
engaged In conversation without inter-
rupting, waiting until she addresses him
or introduces him to the visitor, after
which he should ask permission to lay
his request before his mother. then say
courteous good-by to the visitor and
leave the room quietly.
Marks of Good Breeding.
Does your boy lift his cap when walk
ing in the street with you, or his sister,
when you speak to an acquaintance?
Does he stand when women enter the
room, and remove his cap when women
enter an elevator?
Does he say excuse me" when he
tramps on his mothers foot. and refrain
from passing in front of her when he
leaves the room, or is otherwise in her
presence?
Do you allow your boy or girl to con-
tradict you when you are talking, or to
contradict each other?
These are but few OF the marks by
which the world shall know them and
Judge their mother.
Courtesy and common politeness are
the marks of the true gentleman and the
womanly woman.
And politeness is not born but made.
Foreign parents look with amazement
upon the forward children of America,
so many of whom offer to every stranger
whom they meet unasked advice. and
offer opinions in matters that concern
them not at all
Children OF European countries have
their lives ordered systematically, and as
much, If not more, attention is paid to
their good manners as Is paid to their
lessons and other accomplishments.
They are kept In the country most of
the time and are taught from babyhood
to mind their manners"
1t is because of the vivid contrast that
American children have won an unen1
viabIe reputation in other countries,
which Is. and rlghtfully, visited upon
their parents.
