cd Must Kill Themselves.
In the Pacific ocean. between Fiji
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent of Australia, lies the Melane-
sian group of islands, where head hunt
ers and cannibals abound. Strange
and grewsome as are many of the GUS
toms of the tribes, there are some that
are most romantic. For instance, on
the island of Tucopia the women pro-
pose marriage instead of the men.
When a girl of Tucopia sees a man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not
rush up to him and ask him to marry
her. On the contrary, she gives the
subject deep thought and often the
nan a most careful Investigation be-
fore she pops the question" The rea-
son is that his answer spells life or
death to her.
1t is a tribal law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore a woman asks
a mans hand only when she feels
ouAC lAdt A4S dho CA WIZ bO bAO A3R
py one.
Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women of Tucopia ply the stranger
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back of the solicitude of the dusky
bellies who inquire if he is married or
not and the state Of his wife's health
Romances are consequently very apt
to. turn out in happy marriage.
But there have been innumerable in
stances when a poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms, has been COM
PEELED to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen in love has
had to refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women Of TucOpta
is a sign of beauty, and never until
she is bald does a Tucopia woman be-
come fully convinced that she is really
lovely.
But, bald or not, she takes great
care whom she asks to marry her, for
the tribal law has never been known
to fail. If a rejected woman does not
kill herself she is executed under the
most dishonorable conditions by the
leaders of the tribe.-Buffalo News.

LEASE SYSTEM
 BILL COMES UP

Montgomery, July 14.-(Special) All bills introduced by the recess leg islative committee on investigation which deal with the convict depart ment will be considered by the house committee on prisons and penitentiary Friday afternoon. The chairman Of the committee has notified all people in Alabama who are interested in the measures, and especially that one abol- ishing the convict lease system, to be in Montgomery at the appointed time
 It is understood that from Birming ham will come two delegations one composed of representatives of the Alabama Convict Improvement associa- ton and the other representing those corporations which are employing con vict labor.
 While 1t is probable that a major ity of the members of both houses are inclined for humane reasons to abol- ish the system, it is learned that con siderable hesitation will result in view of the fact that with the system would go much revenue. Governor Hen derson said this afternoon that in the present financial condition of the state it would be exceedingly unwise for the legislature to abolish the lease sys- tenn.
 The governor is also opposed to that bill which would consolidate with the convict bureau the state highways de- partment and the office of state prison inspector.
