That Is the kind of marriage relation the
government has been trying to discontinue.
and all efforts have been made TO persuade
the Indians TO be married according to the
white mans ways, but with so little result that
a marriage a la white man" is a rarity that at
tracts the attention OF both the whites and the
Indians.

But John will treat Mary according to the old
Indian law or he will lose her. She is mar
ried according to the white mans way, but that
will not prevent the squaw from leaving his
tent and returning to that of her mother II
she feels inclined to do So and nothing John
can say or do will have the least effect in fore
ing her to return to him. For number or years
the government has done all in its power to
force the Indians to marry In the white mans
way and to reman married after the ceremony.
but very little progress has been made Once
I'm a great while there will be an Indian we'd
ding performed after the white way, but
large majority OF them take place under the old
Indian customs.
The Indian word for marriage is the equiva-
lent Of she followed him." and that phrase
tells the whole story. Literally. when an In
dian girl marres a buck she simply walks out
of her mothers tepee and into that OF her tu-
ture lord AMI likewise. when she wants a
divorce she takes the back trail and returns to
her mother. The Indian law will not permit
the deserted husband to interfere with her In
any way. once she leaves his tent She is
then free 10 marry" any other Indian she may
wish to. Where a divorce is so easily obtain
able the marriage vows are not regarded very
highly. In fact. there are no marriage VOWS
whatever in the Indian ceremony.

ordinarily plants for the construction of new
warshps although Uncle Sam has from time
to time constructed number OF warships in
his navy yards and is building battleshps In
navy yards at the present time. The function
Of navy yards therefore IS to maintain the eff
hciency OF the ships of the fighting fleet and
they should be placed at strategic points.
The officials contend that we have considerably
more navy yards than the requirements of the
fleet justify.
The secretary of the navy recently did some
investigating TO ascertain how Uncle Sam
compared in possessions Of this kind with the
leading foreign powers and the result will sur
prise many people. 1t was disclosed that the
United States has twice as many frst-cass
home navy yards as are possessed by Great
Britain although John Bull has a navy about
double the size OF ours and that furthermore
we have one more navy yard Of the second
class than Great Britain has. In other words
we have eleven first and second class navy
yards in the United States while Great Britain
is worrying along with six of the same kind
Germany has three and France five. Doubtless
our far-flung coast line on two oceans, to say
nothing Of the Gulf OF Mexico. has been large
ly responsible for our prodigal investments in
navy yards.
All the same this pre-emnence In navy yards
has cost Uncle Sam a pretty penny since he
began to acquire such holdings more than
century ago. The sites for some OF our navy
yards and naval stations (aso coaling sta.
tions) were gifts, but Uncle Sam had TO pay
good hard cash for most of them and in the
aggregate such first investments totaled the
tidy sum OF nearly three million dollars. But
that was but a drop in the bucket compared
to the expense OF equpping and maintaining
these bee hives OF activity. Indeed the total
cost for buildings. Improvements machinery.
etc, for these naval institutions has been TO
date more than sl60,000,0O0 while for the past
half decade the yearly mantainence OF these
plants has involved an annual drain OF more
than twelve million dollars upon Uncle Sans
pocketbook.
The worst OF IL is that some of our navy

cient water leading to them TO allow modern
vessels to approach and lie at the docks. The
explanation OF this queer state OF affairs is to
be found in the conditions during the early his
tory OF the republic when our coast defenses
were OF a minor character and II was thought
best to place the navy yards some distance
back from the coast for the sake OF protection
