John Lodgepole and Mary Steep Hill, full
blooded Indians, came over from the Crow res
ervation last week to get married in the white
mans way, says a dispatch from Sheridan,
Wyo They brought with them numerous rela-
tives, and when the Rev. Mr.. Carney Of the
white church called them before him to per-
form the ceremony there were enough Indians
around the court house to start a wild west
show. But marriage in the white mans way
by the white mans preacher is not an every
day occurrence on the Indian reservations, and
when one does take place every Indian within
40 miles comes, IL he can possibly do so. So,
when it becomes noised or was announced over
the Crow reservation that Lodgepole was to
marry Mary Steep Hill, daughter of Short Boy
and Buffalo Robe, every buck who got wind
Of the coming event came over to Sheridan to
see how it was done.
The bride was only IL years DID, while the
bridegroom was o. She was dressed in a gown
of bright-colored calico, with gorgeous blanket
over her shoulders and she came as near to
looking pretty is possible for a Crow girl.

saucer, was suspended around his neck by

spectators that he thought he was conferring
a great favor on the Indian maid by giving her
his name.
After the ceremony the bridal party started
on down the street. John, the bridegroom,

the motherin-law with papoose on her back
and along behind came the bride, walking by
herself. Presently John halted and motioned
to his bride AS she approached he threw a
package he had been carrying into her arms.

was over.
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 a number of 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
in 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 marries buck she simply walks out
of her mothers tepee and into that of her flu
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 to marry" any other Indian she may
wish to. Where 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.

the general belief that the girls are sold to

ones make all arrangements and then the young
buck calls on the girl They sit in the tepee
with the other members of the family, but so
close together that the old squaw throws
blanket over them, hiding them from sight of
the others in the tent Finally matters are ar
ranged to suit, and the young man, for four

Of navy yards, therefore is to maintain the eff

they should be placed at strategic points
The officials contend that we have considerably
more navy yards than the requirements of the
feet 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-class
home navy yards 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-fung coast line on two oceans to say
nothing of the Gulf of Mexico, has been large

tidy sum of nearly three million dollars But

plants has involved an annual drain Of more
than twelve million dollars upon Uncle Sans

The worst of 1t Is that some of our navy
yards now in existence actually have not sufi-

be found In the conditions during the early his
