GRASS LINED BOOTS.
They Are Worn by the Nomadie lapps
Who Never Get Cold Feet.

They Are Worn by the Nomadic Iapps,
Who Never Get Cold Feet.
While civilized man suffers intensely
from cold feet every winter. the Lap
lander. living In the far north or Eu-
rope, has no such trouble. A Traveller
writes: Their boots are made OF rein
deer skin and are worn very large. ana
the toes are pointed and curve upward
so as to be easily slipped into their skis.
The Lapp usually fills his boots hair
full with peculiar green grass. into
which he thrusts his naked feet. de
then packs the boots full with more
grass. tucks the ends Of his trousers
inside and binds them tightly round
with many turns of brightly woven
braid. With these precautions they
never suffer from cold feet. and chill
blains, corns or such like civilized COM
plaints are an unknown horror TO
them"
Concerning other customs the same
writer says: 1.-The Lapps are essen
tally a nomadic race and spend most
of their lives wandering fancy free
among the wild and glorious scenery
of their northern home. However, at
times no doubt the stiffness OF the
| frozen mountains becomes too still,
and they turn their herds and start
toward their nearest meeting place.
Twice year they hold these general
| gatherings-at Easter and midsummer
when they congregate and hold q
! general fair. It is on these occasions
that they celebrate their weddings and
funerals. The revelries last only about
ten days, but many marriages take
place between couples who. perhaps
have never met previously. -,

TURKISH VENGEANCE.
It's PeriIous Matter to Endanger the
Life Of Sultan.

It's q Periious Matter TO Enoanger tne
Life Of Sultan.
Within two weeks after the assas-
sination Of Mahmud Shefket Pasha,
the grand visier Of Turkey thirty-two
men were put to death for taking part
in the conspiracy According to Tur-
kish custom handed down from the
time of Mohammed. there is no limit
as to the number Of lives that may be
taken as a penalty for the murder Of
one man. Even those interested in
the remotest degree are liable to the
sultan's vengeance. 1t is not so much
the number the ruler Of Turkey is au-
thorized to put out of the way, but
rather where the line is to be drawn.
The Turks have story Of one OF
the earlier successors Of Mohammed
whose life was only endangered be-
cause of a rock falling down a decliv-
ity near which the sultan was riding
with his retinue. Half dozen Of
those In charge OF the trip were put to
death as an ordinary matter Of course,
then half a dozen more who might
have remotely known something about
the facilities afforded by the road for
killing the sultan Finally all the mem
bers Of secret club or lodge were or
dered executed because It was ascer-
tanned that one of the responses to a
password was .WiH you roll down the
stOne?"
Despite the protestations Of the club
members that the words had no signif-
canoe at all with respect to the sultan
or the sultan's trip along the road, they
were ordered to the scaffold. They
numbered 118 in all and died bravely,
assuring their executioners to the very
last that they were innocent. Later q
eunuch who told how the falling Of the
rock was merely an accident was also
put to death for daring to say so.-New
York Sun.

NO Second CHOICE
Non-Partisan Primary Law Abolishes
this Feature in all County and
Legislative Offices.

st. Paul, Jan. 21.-When the voter
goes to the polls to vote at the next
primary, June 16, he will not be both
cred with the Second choice" feature
on the ballot, so far as all judicial,
county and legislative offices are con-
cerned. He will be able to cast his
first choice vote and let it go at that.
There will be no "dillydaliying Won
dering just who would make good
second choice" Furthermore the
election judges will find no necessity
for tearing their hair while sitting up
all night trying to figure out the num-
Der of second choice" votes.
Attorney General Smith has given
an opinion to Secretary of State J. A.
Schmahl to the effect that the second
choice feature no longer can apply to
legislative or county Offices. When the
primary law was first passed and the
second choice feature incorporated, an
exception was made in the case OF
offices on a non-partisan ticket.
The judiciary was all that was on
the non-partisan ticket. The last leg
islature, however, made itself "non-
partisan, and placed all the county
offices on non-partisan basis as well.
All this it did without making any
change so far as the exception Of
the second choice was concerned.
The result is according to the attor-
ney general, that the second choice
no longer applies to the non-partisan
offices.
The attorney generals office is re-
ceiving many requests for interpre-
tations of the new primary law. One
thing that is troubling many would
be candidates is the fact that they
have to file at least 40 days before
the primaries. That means that May
rs is the last day allowed for fling.
The primaries come June Is.
