BEST MAN AT A WEDDING.
Time Wa When He Used to Assist In
Abducting the Bride.

Do you know why the bridegroom's
attendant at the wedding is called
best man. and how he happens to be
such an important factor at a society
wedding? He is supposed to look after
the ushers, the carriage, the wedding
ring and q host of other things that
the fortunate lover could not be .ex-
pected to concern himself with at such
a time. But there was a period in the
history Of the human family when the
best man had other duties than these
to perform. 1t was when there was no
church ceremony and when primitive
people had come to the conclusion that
marriage within the tribe was not good
for the race. Then it became the fash
ion for the young man of m~arriageable
age to 60 forth in quest Of u bride, the
daughter of some ~neighboring tribe.
Perhaps the girls We're not entirely
unwilling to be captured, but no girl,
either ancient or modern, would admit
for a moment that she had wandered
away from the protection of her male
relatives for the actual purpose of be-
ing abducted. Even if there was no
brother at hand the girl was likely to
put up a game fight, and the prospec-
tive bridegroom had need of the assist
ance of a strong muscled friend to aid
him In subduing her. There was very
little to the ceremony once the girl had
been taken to the home OF her future
lord, but the "best man" was always Il
honored guest in her home, especially
IL the marriage thrned out well. In
many mountainous parts of the civil
lized world where old customs obtain
the "best man" still pretends to assist
In a%bducting the bride.-St. Louis

BoNEHEAD BASEBALL.
One Curious Break That Even the UNI

pres Did MOT Notlce.
Baseball $ champion foolish play was
made in a game between Washington
and the White Sox in 1907. In that
battle Larry Schlafly was captain of
the Waslingtons and also played sec
ond base.
AT the end of IN early inning SchlaAy
went out to telephone or buy a goat or
something and was delayed so long
that the Senators had three men put
out before his return.
The Sox came trotting in for their
turn at bat. Washington took the field.
with only eight men and nobody on
second, and the game Went on that
way till Fielder Jones hit one straight
across second. Then. and not till then.
was it discovered that there was no.
body on second base.
Incredible as it may seem. nineteen
men-seventeen players and two un,
~pires-had started the half inning in
this fashion and not one of them got
wise till Jones hit shot over the
empty station.
Schlatly reappearod al this i%uncture.
and the umpires decided that the bit
was Illegal when made with only eight
men in the field. Jones had to go back
and bat ovcr.-Ncw York sun.

EATING TO LIVE.
Rules by Which Good Health May Be
Gained and Retained.

N''S
Herewith l give a few general sug-
gestions for those who desire health.
writes Edward B. Warman. A. M. In
the Nautilus:
No one can have health who eats too
much.
No one can have health who eat
too often.
No one can have health who eats
too many kinds Of food at the same
meal.
No one car have health who eats
when tired, hurried, worried, anxious
OF excited.
No one can have health who rises
late, gulps down a hearty breakfast
and then sprints for the car.
When you have eaten do not wonder
II 1t will agree with you. When you be-
gin to wonder trouble begins. Say
goodby to it, not expecting to hear
from 1t again. If you fear it do not
eat it, il you eat it do not fear it.
Be cheerful at your meals. A sour
~countenance will give you a our stom-
ach.
Praise your wife's cooking-if you
can conscientiously.
If you go home with a crouch leave
II out Of doors, where the dog will get
it-then shoot the dog.
The majority of people do not know
how to live until they are ready to die
and then they are not ready to die be
cause they have not rightly lived.
