WHERE MARRYING is WRONG
Fellows Of Oxford University Eng
land, In Certain circumstances
Are PenalIzed for Wedding.

Much is heard Of the taxation Of
bachelors; but little is ever said OF
the communities wherein matrimony
Is deemed a punishable offense. Per-
haps the most extraordinary ideas
with reference to this subject may
be said to be held at oxford Univer-
sity in England. There, for instance,
fellow Of All Souls College forfeits
his fellowship, II when studying the
classics, he should take unto himself
a wife. In such event he must not
emily pay a penalty, but must also pre-
sent his college with a memorial In
the shape Of a silver cup, with the fur
Their condition that on this cup shall
be inscribed in Latin, HE backslid
into matrimony."
There is an aristocratic club in Lon
don, the Bachelors Of Piccadilly,
whereof the members who so far for
get their loyalty TO the club as to
marry are actually expelled and ostra-
cized. The only saving feature
such expulsion is that, by the
ment Of a fine Of one hundred dolla.s,
the offending one may retain an hon
orary membership; but, so far as ac-
tive membership is concerned, he IL
strictly out Of 1t for the rest of hia
life.
There is similar organization in
Germany, the Junggesellen Club.
Whenever there comes to the officials
of this club any intimation that a
member contemplates matrimony, he
is Immediately summoned for trial in
the club court, with the president as
Judge. The culprit is allowed to plead
In extenuation of his offense, and up-I
on his skill in presenting such plea
depends the amount Of his fine, which
ranges from one hundred to one thou
sand dollars. The humorous feature
Of the fine consists in the application
made. The money is devoted to 81
dinner, whereat all members appear
in mourning attire. At the conclu-
sion Of the repast the president sol
EMMY reads the sentence of expul-
sion, and the delinquent is led from
the room amid the groans and lamen-
tations Of his erstwhile club fellows.

In Pioneer Days In Missouri Every DL
vine Carried Gun With Him
to Church.


Nearly every pioneer preacher In
Missouri was as expert in the use Of
the rife as any Of the laymen. says a
writer In the Globe-Democrat Serv-
ices we're usually held In neigh
boris cabin. Notice OF a meeting
was promptly and generally circu-
lated, and the settlers attended, uni
formly bringing their rifles to guard
against possible surprises or to OBJ
tain game on the way to or from the
service.
The practice Of carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv-
ices were held In Saline county when
the preacher proclaimed the gospel of
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from a deer that
he had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers labored with
out money and without price. They
gained their subsistence as did their
neighbors, by the rife and by their
daily toll in the clearings and the
corn fields.
Rev. Justinian williams, Methodist,
and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev.
Thomas Kinney, Baptists. were the
first preachers in. Saline county. They
preached on Edmonson's Creek, and
in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Now
lin," as he was called, was sedate
gentleman, dry as to manners and SER
mons, but with kind heart and good
intention.
His colleague, Kinney, however, was
Of jovial disposition and very pop
ular. He was without literary at
tainments, but invariably provoked his
congregation to laughter. Nowlin
took him to task upon one occasion
for his levity. Kinney answered:
well, I'd rather preach to laughing
devils than to sleepy ones, as you do.
You make them sleep and make
them laugh. My congregation will
pass yours on the road to heaven. ]
bet you coonskin they WILL"

MISS STARLINGS LETTER.

came here. except for the few days
that the French council occupied it,
and asked her what was the matter.
She told me that the house is con-
sidered haunted. or inhabited by the
"pees", as they think. Several men
who have lived there have died vio-
lent deaths. and now no one will live
in it. But a wealthy Siamese has
decided to move in, and the priests
have been sent in ahead, to. drive
out the "pees". For myself, | don't
think any self-respecting pee"
would stay around long, with all
that noise going on.
You speak of the missionaries
teaching these people to make more
comfortable clothes. That is one
thing the missionaries are trying not
to do,-to change the customs of
these people, except where their
custom conflicts with health or NOR
atty. Some missionaries have tried to
Americanize them. but have only
succeeded in de.nationalizing them,
putting them out of sympathy with
their own country, and with no
means of gratifying their new
tastes. They are having some trou-
BILE with that in the Boys School
now. The boys have been taught to
dress so fine, that some of them
have taken to thieving and gambling
no get money to crafty their tastes.
And other poor boys say they car
not afford to attend school. because
they haven't the money to dress,
and are ashamed to be with other
boys who dress better than they do.
And then there is so much to teach
these people, that is absolutely es-
sential. that there is little time to
bother with matters of dress. Our
watchman's wife is unusually bright
and quick, and yesterday noticed
that she made her youngster pair
of trousers with a draw-string
around the top,-the first draw
string have seen in this country.
She had evidently seen one in our
clothes. If you think the Siamese
have too much cloth about their hips
you should just see an Indian
turban. l believe l could make a
dress out of what they wrap around
their heads. l don't see how they
bear the heat.

The wife of our Siamese teacher
has had an operation for appendicit-
is, and this morning her husband
came over and said that the doctor
had sent him over to ask for some
beaten biscuit; so / concluded to
make some waters, and they are
lovely. The oven was too hot at first,
and blistered them a little, but the
last are perfect. l am going to send
some over to DR.. McGilvary. he likes
the biscuit so well.
Tuesday was Mrs. Campbell's "At
home" day, but she is on the hill,
and asked us to take it for her, so
we did. We had tea. lovely cocoa
nut cake and beaten biscuit. But a
shower spoiled the last of the tennis,
and drove US to shelter, but we can
usually expect that now. So far, we
have had very little rain, but | hope
for the sake of the rice crop that it
will soon come.
Last Monday, Miss Buck and l
spent the day with Mrs. Kerr, and
had a lovely time. The Kerrs are
among the incest people we have out
here. and Mrs. X. is an exquisite
house-keeper. The English all make
good salaries and live we'll.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion lately, about getting a house
here, for street chapel. but the
amount of money it would cost
has delayed things. But the prob
lem has just been solved by one of
our wealthy Siamese offering US two
rooms in a new building of his, rent
free. The situation is ideal, in the
public market, and is on the site Of
the "sala" where DIR. McGilvary
lived, when he first came to this
country. The man is not Chris.
tian. but his daughter is a pupil in
our school. and his friendly and gen.
erous act is very gratifying to us.
! have often thought that we did not
get near enough to the masses in our
work, and if rightly conducted, this
work ought to be very effective. 1t
is successful in most countries.
l am writing to Mrs. Dietrich this
week to thank her for the money
the children sent me. would have
written before, but l concluded to
wait until had returned from the
country and would have something
to write about.
The industrial work comprises the
sewing which | will leave largely to
Mrs. McGilvary, weaving and lace
making. and will have to work
hard next term. The new looms are
"a problem which remains to be
solved. But it will be a great thing
for the school if | can even make
beginning at putting it on a self
supporting base.
Yesterday afternoon. / went over
to Mrs. McGilvary's, and heard the
priests next door chanting. The
house has been empty ever since |

THE CANADIAN L

Later reports of the disaster at Re-
gina reduce the fatalities and the loss
of property by a material percentage,
but the accounts of the tragedy are still
such as to cause a shock. The death of
eighty persons in a single community
and the injury of 400 more must be
rated as a catastrophe. especially when
the visitation is accompanied by tre-
mendous property destruction. 1t
appears that a large number of those
who lost their lives were boating on an
adjoining lake and had no chance for
safety when the cyclone came roaring
along, demolishing buildings, uprooting
trees and driving everything movable
before it.. Probably when the wires are
working again the full accounts of this
visitation will increase the record of
losses. for it is assured that the stor m
swept through a fairly populous region
both before and after 1t struck Regina.
Judging from present accounts. there
will be no need of help from this coun-
try to prevent suffering in the stricken
Canadian city. -Bismar;k Tribune.

The official count of votes from near
ly all the counties comprising the Third
Congressional district are completed
and as neal as ear be figured at this
time Senator L. A. Simpson has 176
plurality on first choice votes. How
ever, the second choice count of votes
seems to put Secretary of State P. D..
Norton in the lead about this much.
There are a good many leading attor-
neys who insist that the second
choice section of the new primary law
is unconstitutional and it is possible
that Mr.. Simpson will decide to test the
same in the counts. The official returns
will be completed within a few days.
