MARRIAGES IN
OTHER LANDS
Quaint And Strange Ceremon-
les Tie And Cement The
Holy Bonds
ALL OF THE FORMS ARE SACRED
Chinese Bride Remains Silent
Sleeps Blood Used By
The Arabs

Married life differs so widely and
SO do marriages. But they are all
sacred.
In Borneo the bride and groom sit
on metal logs before the priest. who
gives them cigars and betel while he
blesses them. He waves above them
two fowls bound together. The
bridegroom then places the betel in
his brides mouth and a cigar be-
tween her lips. They are married.
There are other places where GUS
toms are even more unique.
You. little girl, wooed for months
before you give your consent, have
perhaps never read ofMorocco. For
there the wooing never precedes
marriage 1t follows. Often the
wife doesn't see the husband until
after she has been welded to him,
and it is only by chance that the hus-
band sees his wife or knows what
she looks like.
Three Nights OF Silence
Suppose you were just married.
Would you like it if you could talk
to no one for three days? Yet that
is the fate of the Chinese girl. For
three nights after the marriage the
Chinese bride, yelled, must stay
awake and listen to the teasings and
jokes of some girl friend who is
there just on purpose to make her
laugh.
But the Chinese bride must not
allow her voice to escape her. She
must show, by staying silent those
three nights, that she will be quiet
wife. There are seven reasons for
which Chinese man may divorce
his wife. you know, one of, them is
taIkativeness.
Groom Hunts For Bride
Among the Mezeyn Arabs the bride
runs away and hides in the noun
tains. The groom hunts until he
finds her or dies in the attempt. If.
he is lucky he will lead her to her
fathers tent and proclaim they are
married. Then the bride must stay
within the shadow of that tent until
she becomes a mother.
The wedding invitation means
much in Barcelona, Spain. For then
everyone who receives one must 90
and give coin to the bride. That
Is for her dowry. The father is
usually unable to furnish one. He
has had to buy a house for her and
fit it up, and that is expensive.
Married With Wine
In Japan, land of flowers, they
hold funeral services at the home of
the brides parents the night she is
married. This is to show that the
young lady is dead to her father and
mother.
The marriage ceremony is simple.
The bride and groom seat themselves
at table where there are three fiat
cups, each a little larger than the
other. The cups are filled with wine
and the bride and groom drink from
them in turn, taking the smallest
first and graduating upward. After
this is done the go-between, who has
arranged the marriage, announces
they are wed.
Spill Blood On The Sand
The Bedouin marriage does not
take much time. The groom cuts
the throat of a sheep and spills the
blood on the sand of his father-in-
laws threshold and the wedding is
over.
The Swedish girl prays for rainy
day on which to get married. Then
before she goes to the ceremony at
tired in her wedding clothes she
milks the COW, feeds the calf, and
steals breast feather from the hen.
This is to bring her the necessities

Once when resolution for wom-
ans suffrage amendment to the Mis-
souri, constitution was pending in
the legislature state senator said,
with manifest security, that he would
feel that to approve such a thing
would be an affront to his sainted
mother. He made quite speech
about woman's sphere, /" the hand
that rocks the cradle" and all the
rest of it. He asked how would
women look chasing Apaches on the
plains. since. of course. they would
be liable to military duty if they had

FUFD BECOMES
MORE Y|RULENT
GOV. RAPS HOT SPRINGS
AS RESULT OF CENSURE FROM
HOT SPRINGS PRESS ON RE-
CENT ACTION

From Thursdays Daily.
The feud between Governor Dona-
ghey and the city of Hot Springs has
become virulent. Hot Springs hasn't
liked the governor for some time, and
there has been no love lost. 1t came
to an issue when Governor Donaghey
notified the sheriff of Garland county
that the state fair must not be run in
violation of the law on Sunday. Since
that he has been severely censured by
the Hot Springs press, and the Senti-
neLRecord declared, in the course OF
severe editorial castigation, that chad
the governor remained much longer in
the city his body guard would have
been powerless to have saved him
from blows"
In the course of lengthy interview
given out Wednesday evening, the
governor literally flays the govern
ment of Hot Springs, and declared
that the tsate fair is such in name
only, and that it is conducted only for
private interests. He says:
''My attention has been called to a
severe castigation given me by Hot
Springs correspondent, and by edito-
rails in the Hot Springs papers
These complaints state in part:
Feeling was intense against the
governor. The effect of the
official visit of Governor Donaghey to
Hot Springs was that the Arkansas
State Fair Association was approx
mately deprived of a revenue of $6,-
GOETHE governor should be thank
full that he got away unscarred, etc.
There were many who believed that
had the governor remained much
longer in the city his body guard
would have been powerless to have
saved him from blows

From SATURDAYS Daily.
DR.. and Mrs. J. T. Bailey very pleas
antly entertained the Atlas Class of

Miss Winnie Mae Craig was the lucky
contestant. Mr.. Silas w. Rogers pre-

| just about what the crooks will per-
NIT them to have.
THE time is about at hand when
the state must do something with Hot
Springs. The world should have the
benefit of these springs. 1t is in the
interest of humanity that we bestir
ourselves in this direction. l am in
favor of ceding to the United States
government the jurisdiction of res
ervation sufficiently large around Hot
Springs. These springs should be
it would be better to have the city po-
Iced and controlled by the national
government. When this is done, then
the strife will cease between the state
and one of her municipalities, and not
before then.
IF Hot Springs cannot find fault
with some of the state officials, then
she becomes divided against herself,
and the whole state is directed to
wash day with them when their own
dirty linen is brought to light.
81 shall recommend to the next leg
islature that it petition congress to
take over Hot Springs and control it.
There could be no objection to this
plan now from a political viewpoint,
because we have a Democratic adj
ministration, and, as has been former
ly suggested, if such We're done, ne
groes could not be put in charge of
any of the departments of the gov
eminent. If am elected to the Unit
ed States senate, and this has not
been before brought about, l shall do
everything in my power to bring such
a transfer to successful termina
ton.
'In the meantime, however, while
am working to bring this about, l
shall pay no attention to the warning
of Hot Springs not to come back
there. Whether citizen or official, l
wish to file notice with the would-be
dictators there that l am a citizen of
Arkansas and have been for long
period of years, and that l shall not
think about forfeiting my rights to
visit that city and avail myself of the
opportunity to secure the benefit of
the curative waters and the comfort
able hotels at any time | may choose
to do So"

Things are looking brighter than
ever for the three-year homestead bill
introduced in the senate by Senator
Borah. This measure will prove of
inestimable benefit to homesteaders
in the Boise Valley and elsewhere
throughout the west. A Washington
dispatch states that Wednesday by
unanimous vote the senate committee
on public lands combined and favor
ably reported the Borah three-year
homestead bill and the Jones bill
granting homesteaders six months
leave of absence in each year of resi-
dence. AS the bill is reported, home
steaders after the first six months
continuous residence upon their home
steads will be entitled to leave their
land for six months in each succeed
ing year, the time when absent to be
counted as part of the three years
residence required by law. Thus the
homesteader will be able to get title
after cultivating his land for three
successive summers, and will be per-
mitted to be away from his land each
winter.
The committee was unanimous in
reporting the bill, and it will be call
ed up and unquestionably will pass
the senate at an early date. This
combined bill is in direct line with
the reform urged by Senator Borah
in his speech last week. So effective
was that speech that the eastern SEN
ators stand ready to vote for the
measure, which is framed to facilitate
the requirement of title by home
steaders. 1t is believed the bill will
pass without opposition. The bill
applies to the enlarged homesteads as
we'll as 16O-acre entries.
