SPANISH ETIQUETTE.
PeIiteness to Servants and Even the
Street Beggars.

From what we saw and from
what happened to us l made up q
page of Spanish etiquette. Il Is
probably not correct, but l offer it
as the result of our experiences.
Other people may have had differ

female sex never wear a short skirt.

less you are willing to have people
stare at you and sometimes call
after you. If you have red hair dye
it or be prepared to be saluted as
'Rubia." Never bow to a man un-
less he lifts his hat first. If you are
a man you may dress as an English
man, an operate tenor or a chorus
singer from Carmen without excit-
ing remark. Never wear glasses.
If you are blind take a dog on a
string. When you sit down at the
table or arise always bow and say,
"Buenas." This is imperative. You
may jostle people without apology,
but never speak to any n without
saying your grace" be he noble,
friend or beggar. "Will your grace
do me the favor to bring me my
coffee at 9 o'clock tomorrow"
would strike an American bellboy
with dismay. But it is the literal
translation of the Spanish request.
Never tell a beggar to clear out, but
say that you have left your purse at
home and that you will remember
him tomorrow Or gently murmur
that God will reward him, whereat
he will smile, thank you and depart.
These same beggars, who spring
up on every side, seem to have a
code of etiquette we could not faith
ON. After two or three days there
were a few who begged only from
me, two or three others who be-
sought Jean. Evidently WI were
understood to be the patrons of GER

TWO VEXEO QUESTIONS.
Legal Questions Arise to Vex People
OF New County of Mellette,

White l.ake-Two legal questions
have ariSeL in the newly settled cOun-
ty OF Menette, which was until 1872
part of the Rosebud reservation.
Cd When a county is organized
from a part Of the reservation does it
cease to be part OF the reservation?
t2) Does the South Dakota or fed.
eral statute apply to trespass OF stock
upon an allotment or upon open land?
In the Rosebud reservation it has
been an old custom of the govern
ment. through the officials, to require
the white owners of stock to pay 81
per head as a grazing privilege The
settlers have organized now, and EN-
ployed attorneys to resist the pay
ment of that 81 per head fee. which
they claim the government still at
temptS TO collect in Mellette county
under the disguise of trespass upon
ailotments. The settlers further claim
that the government has no right to
ilX an arbitrary price of 81 per head
Tor trespass, and that the Indian il
damaged has his full recourse under
1
settlers further claim that the gov.
ernment resists the pay ment of any
damage done by !. ID. cattle, trespass.
ing on settlers crops The settlers
think that the same law applies to
tresspassing cattle regardless Of color
OF the skin Of the owner. They also
claim the right to take up hold and
sell |. ID. trespassing stock, allowing
the local court to fix the damage done.
The government threatens to attempt
the collection Of $240, where the own.
er OF the stock owns or has leased
from settlers 1000 acres of land. AT
mass meeting held recently it was
decided to take legal steps to protect
their rights and to fully present the
matter to he officials at WASHINGTON
ana to petition congress for relief
from unwarranted interference.

policies. The state insurance depart

make any allowance TO policy holders
because this is a General provision
specifically prohibited in the general
statutes, but the companies can agree
to pay the revenue if they treat all Gus
toners alike. The insurance depart
ment has been flooded with Inquiries
concerning the matter, since some in
surance commits siOners have ruled one
way on the matter and others an op-
posite way. In South Dakots the com
panies will pay the revenue tax.
