Only the Sultan Adhere to the Old
Style Oriental nstitution-Mod-
ern Turk Resorts to Divorce.

The domestic arrangements OF the
sultan are entirely different from
those of his subjects. Most Turks
have one wife; the sultan has nc
recognized sultana. Turks of high
rank marry into their owl class; the
sultan forms unions with women of
slave origin. The ordinary man may
not look upon an unveiled woman ex-
cept she be his relation or servant;
the sultan has the right to talk with
any woman in the land face to face.
Turks of position model their house
holds more or less on the European
plan: the sultan's household is orien-

Deral palace you would fini women

or clad in baggy trousers. On the
contrary. you would find them smol
ing nothing more oriental than

and, yes, wearing corsets! But the
code of morals is entirely different,
says the New York Sun.
The imperial harem is founded on
the old court system of the Byzantine
and has an etiquette and
law of its own. The first fact one
must grasp is that the wives or
favorites of the sultan have no i'm
Dortance at all They are nobodies.
The daughter of a Circassian peasant
may be honored by the sultan's favor
and even bear him child, but yet
be distinguished by no other title
than the commonplace "Kadin Effen-
di." Only the mother of the eldest
son receives the royal designation of
sultan" her whole title being "Kha-
rek sultan"
Her dignity only results from her
being the mother Of possible heir
to the throne; that is, in the event
that the sultan has no brothers, for
the brothers have the right of prece-

Day on Which Women Rule.

Candlemas day is not celebrated in
Holland much more than in England,
but its place is taken by festival I'M
known in this country. Slipper day in
the Netherlands is the one day in the
year in which the Dutch woman
claims superiority over her husband.
On that day she rules him to her
hearts content, and he generally
obeys good humoredly enough. That
is, unless she is one of those ladies'
not unknown in Holland or in any
other country who aspire to complete
rule over their unhappy partners
throughout the year.-Philadephi In

vertised minimum.
One of the provisions of the contract
which the successful bidder for the
Rainier timber will enter into will be
that II market prices advance mater
tally the Governments Chief Forester

years. require a reasonable readiust-
ment of the stumpage prices up TO an
added so cents per thousand. The OBJ
ject OF this stipulation is TO prevent
loss to the Government-thati is. to the
public-and an undue profit to the
purchaser through long-term contracts
entered into on a rising market. Pro-
vision against such speculative profits
Is regarded as espe tally necessary in
view of the long-term sales now some
times made 90 get purchasers for large
bodies Of inaccessible timber.
For the Rainier sale the cutting per
iod allowed is only five years since
the quantity of timber involved-ap-
proximately 52.000.0oO board feet
does not call for an extended opera
ton. One National Forest sale made
this year was for 500. 0Oa. 900 board
feet and the purchasers were allowed
a cutting period of twenty-five years
besides a preliminary two years in
which to build a railroad. Usually
purchasers must begin operating the
year OF purchase and cut a stipulated
amount each year.
The latter provision is simply an ex-
ample of a fundamental prin iple that
is applied in all National Forest tim
Der sales. The primary object is de-
scribed as being not profit for the
Government but benefit to the public.
Nowhere is the policy a strictly COM

Story of Indian Maiden's Love Told
By An Aged Veteran at Union Station

While waiting for a train in the
Pennsylvania station last night,
civil war veteran and an inmate of
the Dayton Soldiers Home, related
story of the discarded love of an In
dian maiden named Nahma, the ter
mination of the affair being the sui
eide of the Indian girl and the erection
of large white cross which can still
be seen on the side of large mount
ain in the extreme eastern part OF
Tennessee. The old soldier was sur
rounded by a small group of persons
who remained to hear the last word
of the story of the romance which
happened in 1S59-more than fifty
years ago.
"On the side of mountain in east
ern Tennessee" said the old soldier
and pioneer, lis large white cross.
AS it is very conspicuous, many per-
sons who pass the spot on the rail-
road which circles the base of the
peak, endeavor to learn the history of
the cross. This, however, is known to
only a few persons, of whom | am one

was employed by Joshua Diggs, who
was surveying for the first railroad
which passed through eastern Ten
nessee. Near our construction camp,
where we made our headquarters for
almost year, a small band of Indians
was encamped in a valley sheltered
by the high hills and mountains all
around. During the hours of the eve
ming, We spent our time with the In
dams who were quite a novelty with
of Philadelphia.
'Diggs, who was a tall, handsome
man, attracted the innocent Indian
maidens, who were never more pleas
ed than when listening to his stories
of the big cities and the fine clothes
worn by the society women in the
eastern part of the country.
Zone of these Indian girls named
Nahma was very beautiful and Diggs
spent much of hiss time in amusing
her. Later he made love to her and
short time before we were ready to
make our departure from that vicin-
ity Diggs and Mamma were married
according to the elaborate Indian Gus
tom which included almost a weeks
feasting and festivity.
Mamma was brought to our con-
struction camp by Diggs who had a
rough shack erected for the two At
first he was kind to his Indian bride,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-04-05

but on a day month later when We
broke camp to move on fifty miles
Nahma was taken to her home by
Diggs who told her that he would re-
turn within a few days. Diggs, with
ed behind with three others to com,
plete some unfinished work.
1.-TWO days after Digg's departure,
Mamma was seen approaching our
camp. Those of us who were at the
camp did not have the courage to
tell her of her husbands unfaithful-
ness and we left. Whenever We saw
her coming after that we hid. One
day, however, she came upon us unex-
pectedly.
so emaeiated was she that We
could hardly believe that she was the
same happy, innocent, beautiful In
dian maiden whom we had known
while Diggs was with us. Her face
was thin and drawn from grief and
worry and she had lost weight. She
was a mere shadow Of the girl who
married the surveyor Diggs. She
forced us to tell her where her hus-

her. We told her and consoled her
the best We could,
"A week later" he went on. Eve
saw Mamma slowly climbing the side
of the mountain to large bluff over
looking a precipice, when we were al
most overwhelmed with CONSERVATION
to see her, after raising her arms as
if in prayer, hurl herself over the edge
of the bluff to the foot of the precipice
200 feet below.
I'VE hurried to the spot and carried
her crushed anil lifeless body to the
Indian camp.
1.-TWO years later Diggs returned to
the place and he was told the story
of the tragic death of the young In
dian wife whom he had deserted. He
meant to return to her but was un-
able to do so. To prove the grief
which he displayed, he went to the
spot where the girl ended her life
and there erected the cross in memory
of the Indian maiden. To this day
the cross is standing and can be plain
ly seen from the identical railroad for
which Diggs surveyed. Only to the
members of the Indian band and four
white men was this story known"
