consecutive nights serenades his inamoratar
the serenade consisting of music made on
kind of flute On the fourth night, however, IN
stead of turning away after playing his tune,
he boldly enters the girls tepee and sits down.
After few minutes wait he gets up and
walks out The girl follows him. He goes to
the tent or cabin which he has previously pre-
pared and enters. A moment later the girl en-
tiers lays aside her blanket and starts cooking
dinner. The marriage is over.
The bridegroom, before the courtship, has
made present" to the girls father. Some
times it is a bunch of cattle or horses or what
ever may be agreed upon. The older man
holds this present for several months and If
the young people are getting along together
nicely he then gives it all back to them as
kind of dowry If, however, they have trouble,
and there is divorce" he keeps the gift and
later gives it to the girl. And the mother-in-law
is supreme The girls mother can, at any time
she chooses, go over to the young peoples
tent take her daughter by the hand and lead
her home The husband say nothing what
ever to an action of that kind. and for that rea-
son, he cultivates the god opinion of his mother
in-law more than he does that of his squaw.
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 rarity that at
tracts the attention of both the whites and the
Indians.

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 MS
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 OF years
the government has done all in its power to
force the Indians to marry in the white mans
way and to remain married after the ceremony
but very little progress has been made. once
in 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 fu-
ture lord. AMI likewise, when she wants
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 parents of the bride and bridegroom
do most of the Counting and, contrary to
the general belief that the girls are sold to
their husbands, this is rarely done The older
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 ar
ranged to suit, and the young man, for four

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 a marriage in the white mans way
by the white mans preacher is not every
day occurrence the Indian reservations, and
when one does take place every Indian within
40 miles comes, If he can possibly do so. So.
when it becomes nosed or was announced over
the Grow 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 near to
looking pretty as is possible for a Crow girl.

sash of so many colors that Joseph's famous

buckskin thong. Every move showed the white
spectators that he thought he was comforting
a great favor on the Indian maid by giving her
his name.
After the ceremony the bridal party started
off down the street. John, the bridegroom
a,d his new father-in-law in front. Then came
the mother-in-law with papoose on her back,

supposed to be establishments for the dock
ing, repair and reitting of war vessels and not
ordinarily, plants for the construction Of new
warships although Uncle Sam has from time
to time constructed a number of warships in
his navy yards and is building battleships in
navy yards at the present time. The function
Of navy yards, therefore is to maintain the eff
fciency 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
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 as are possessed by Great
Britain, although John Bull has 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
far-fung coast line on two oceans, to say
nothing of the Gulf of Mexico, has been large
~ responsible for prodigal investments in
navy yards.
All the same this prominence in navy yards
has cost Uncle Sam pretty penny since he
began to acquire such holdings more than a
century ago. The sites for some of our navy
yards and naval stations (also coalng sta
tions) were gifts, but Uncle Sam had to pay
good hard cash for most of them and in the
aggregate such first investments totaed the
tidy sum of nearly three million dollars. But
that was but a drop in the bucket compared
to the expense of equipping 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 $16OO0O0O0, while for the past
half decade the yearly maintainence of these
plants has involved annual drain of more
pocketbook
The worst of it is that some of our navy
yards now in existence actually have not suffi-
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

best to place the navy yards some distance
back from the coast for the sake of protection

$1,000 tons instead of sloops of 1900 tons such

the new method OF managing things, but one
of the principal arguments, as may be sur
missed, is that 1t will enable the government
to save lot of money every year.
Action by the congress of the United States
is required before this proposal can be
ried out in anything like it's full scope but al
ready beginning has been made in line with
the new policy. Thus we see two navy yards,
those at New Orleans and Pensacola Florida,
the work which was formerly done there trans
ferred to other plants in the south where, with
the larger forces Of workmen available, it can
be handled more expedtiously. If the officials
have their way the navy yards at San Juan,
Port Royal, New London, Sacketts Harbor,
Culebra and Cavite will also be abandoned in
short order. But of course this is easier said
than done, for town or city wants to see it's
navy yard abandoned any more than it wants
to see one Of It's local manufacturing plants
removed to some rival city and consequently
each community thus affected can be depended
upon to fight the proposal through members of
congress and any other national authorities
