WHERE MEN STEAL THEIR WIVES

In the early civilization of every
people there has existed in one form
or another the curious custom Of Sc
curing wife by stealing her.
Without doubt 1t Is the cave mans
methods persisting among the semi
civilized, and even our custom of
elopement can be traced back to tho
knobbed-club days. So 1t is in dark
est Africa today.
Where wife is not a chattel pos
session, precisely as much the mans
property as his cattle and his farm,
the African maiden is wooed and won
by~her dusky lover by stealth.
Often her parents favor some richer
suitor, and have hunted the lover
away from their doorstep, and then It
is that the marriage by theft Is sure
to occur.
Watching her house, as cat
watches a mouse hole, the love-sick
swain follows the girl of his heart
when she leaves the house to draw
water or gather wood for the fire, and
out of sight of the house he wooes her
with soft words.
If she is willing, he tells her he will
send some of his friends to steal her
away-"pula" it is called-and bring
her to his house.
Then he calls on half dozen Of
his friends and bids them steal the
maiden of his heart for him.
h4 tntn tnl tsy,,a ertr vi
down to the spring alone, her lovers
friends creep up on her, and should
she in modesty struggle, they life her
on their shoulders and run with her to
her new home.
There she remains until the next
morning, when her relatives come and
demand six goats as trespass offer
ing for having carried her away. In
addition to these the regular dowry is
twenty goats and five head Of cattle.
Each goat is given in payment for
some definite item Of the marriage
bill.
For instance, one goat on account
Of the betrothal, one as fine for the
covetous eyes that spied the girl out,
two-one for each parent-for the
stool on which he sat when he wooed
her, two for the relatives trouble in
looking for her when kidnapped, two
on account of the talk or "palaver,"
and two for entering the house or
grounds to make love to the girl.
or course the relatives make the
bill" as long as they can string 1t
out.
1t is very seldom. indeed, when a
marriage does not ensue as a direct
result of the "pula," but sometimes
the angry parents carry her back
home again. In either event the Afri-
can marriage is one that is not bind
ing forever unless both the husband
and wife are pleased. Indeed, like the
modern advertising slogan, "all goods
not approved may be exchanged" the
dusky lover may return his stolen
bride after few months, II he finds
that he has made mistake and really
doesn't like her.

ELEorRIc SEWING DEVICE.

In This Line.

Motor Built Into Machine 10 Newest
In This Line.
One Of the latest developments in
electric sewing machines Is one In
which the motor is built into the ma
chine and its speed Is controlled en-,
tirely by a brake working on a drum
mounted on the motor shaft. This
brake is operated by the pedal. So
long as there is no pressure on the
pedal the brake prevents the motor
from working, even with the currentl
turned on.
A slight pressure starts the machine
slowly and when the pedal is pushed
down as far as 1t will go, the machine
is run at full speed. An additional
advantage in this machine is that tho
needle is placed squarely in front on
the operator, eliminating the strained
attitude required in running an ordi-
nary machine.
Current is supplied through cord
that can be attached to any electric
light socket. In case of failure of
electric power, tie machine Is made
ready for operation by foot by discon-
