The LAST MARRIAGE OF
KING WINNEMUCCA MDLv

His Majesty, Winncmucca MDLV,
married to a princess of his tribe.
Bucna Vista John, trusted
member Of Winnemucca's cabinet.
says the royal cons ort is passed the
middle age and weighs all the
same as four sacks of -four. Win
nem Icca who traces his lineage
according to Pluto tradition from
the time when the Humboldt
valley was a lake, is said to be the
fifteen hundrcdth and fifty-ffth
monarch Of his line. He has
children past the prime Of life and
the old fellow takes new wife to
provide for his necessities in his old
age. The Pluto marriage ceremony
is very simple aiT.ir. The chosen
bride retircs to her wickiup at an
appointed time and huddlcs in a
corner. If she does not like the
bridegroom she gets up and runs
away when he enters the wickiup,
but, if he is the man Of her
choice, remains and becomes his
slave for ever. TIE old king will
now have an easier time than has
been his lot for years past as the
queen will have to rustic grub for
the aged monarch.-F Silver

III ASHINGTON.- high cost OF
w living Is becoming live topic
again. Much of the mail that comes
to members of congress daily deals
with the subject Constituents of SEN
ators and representatives are saying
that If the legislative body can do any
thing to bring prices Of the neces
saries of life down, it ought to do It.
Among public men there is very gen
eral agreement that the topic will be
to the front in the presidential cam
paign next year.
James Wilson, secretary Of agricul'
ture, has come forward with the sug'
gestion that every large municipality
ought to take up the cost of living
problem. He thinks the problem of
reducing the cost of living is one
that must be settled by municipalities
Federal legislation can, he declares,
at best do but little toward bringing
prices down.
The secretary is trying to persuade
the leading citizens of the national
capital to get in behind an inquiry
here as to why things people have to
buy are so high. He has notion
that If Washington would conduct ar
investigation that resulted In obtain
ing cheaper food for the people, other
cities would soon become interested.

b OSTON.-Breaking the spell of sc
- years standing, during which
there has not been a single marriage
in the town, Miss Laura r. Schutt
and Rev. Milton Whittier were wed
ded the other day in the village OF
Mount Washington, Mass. Every in
habitant of the town turned out to
attend tho wedding.
The romance of the young clergy
man and the farmers daughter is one
fraught with an interest which has
sunk deep into the hearts of all the
folk in the neighboring towns.
Only little over year ago
Mr.. Whittier graduated from the
Yale Theological school, and came to
the village of Mount Washington to
begin his career in the humble little
Congregational church.
The church, although it is a good
many miles from most Of the farms OF
Mount Washington, is regularly at.
tended by practically everyone in the
town. The roads are up hill and down
and so steep that it takes a good
horse to carry the churchgoers ia
their destination.

to attend church regularly, but when

The Progress of Our Game Protection

THE report of DR.. T. S. Palmer OF
l the governments biological survey
on 1.-The Progress of Game Protection
is an exceedingly interesting docu-
ment. It bears every evidence of care
full study of conditions. Nothing is
set down which in any way can be
attributed to guesswork. It can be
accepted as accurate and authentic.
Doctor Palmer is known to scientists
as a man of method with an innate
love of the subject of which he is
making life study.
Deer moose, elk and other big
game of pronounced economic value
are increasing in numbers. With the
awakened interest in their protection
and with the constant improvement
in laws intended to save useful
species there are sound reasons for
the belief that future generations Of
Americans will know the animals that
man today knows, and that legitimate
sport will be possible in the years
to come. The movement for the con-
servation of the natural resources of
the country takes full heed Of the
necessity for the preservation Of the
wild birds and mammals.
Some few species Of big game per-
haps are bound to disappear, or to
survive only In a semi-domesticated
state. Animals which 1.-Two in the cover
