Ancient Marriage Custom.

Nestermarck. in his History of HUI
man Marriage" says: " There is not
shred of genuine evidence for the no.
ton" that general pOlygamy ever
formed a real stage in the history OF
mankind. "Monogamy is by far the
most common form Of human marriage.
1t was so among the ancient people of
whom we have any direct knowledge"
And another authority states: st
seems probable that from the first hui
man mating has tended toward
mOnOgamic uniOns.' AS for marriage
laws, there is little doubt that religious
sanctions are older than legal. In
Christian countries the marriage laws
are generally derived from the law
established by the Christian church in
the middle ages, which in turn drew
many of its rules regarding marriage
from the Roman civil law and was also
influenced to some extent by Teutonic
ideals. 1t is worthy of note that the
Greeks and Romans, in their history,
show little or no trace of polygamy.

II was a wonderful doll, at least so
the homemade production Of Sister
Marcia appeared to tiny Kitty Mason.
1t was big doll, and a neighbor had
mended up an old doll buggy, and
Kitty was enabled to give Freckles, as
she called her, an airing without tir-
ing her little motherly arms.
They we're poor, the Masons, and
Marcia was their sole support at the
present time, her father having been
laid up for six months, the result of
an accident at the plant where he
worked, and conyalescing very slowly.
Kitty. was a good child and was con-
tent to stay around home most Of the
time, Freckles engrossing her atten-
ton. Freckles was lying supposedly
asleep on a garden bench one after
noon, when a trumpet blast aroused
Kitty.
"Oh, Freckles. wake upl" cried
Kitty eagerly. ''Musicl It must be
a circus parade"
Forthwith Kitty seized Freckles UNI
tremendously by the arm and dragged
her by her side to the street. The
circus procession appeared in its full
glory Of blare, tinsel and prancing
steeds. Kitty, dazzled, carried out Ct
herself, kept pace with 1t for more
than mile, Jagged behind, and then,
foOtsore and worn out, she sat down
on the curb Of an iron garden fence and
went to sleep. Kitty awoke in alright.
Everything was strange to her. All
unheeded, Freckles had slipped to the
sidewalk and lay neglected. Kitty be-
gan to cry. She wandered square
or two and her sobbing and dreadfilled
face attracted the attention Of police
man. He took her in his brawny arms
and soothed her. Then, as she quiet
ed down, Kitty was coherent enough

Kitty was severely scolded by Mar
cia and mourned over her lost doll all
the rest of the week. She and Marcia
were walking down the street one day
when bright-faced urchin dashed up
to them.
"Hey, Kitty Hey, Miss Mason! I

"Oh, where? where?" pleaded Kitty,

"Won't you take me to where Alan
says he saw Freckles? Maybe we can
get her back"
Marcia consented, and they tray
ersed the mile to the little bridge. It
was late In the afternoon, after school
hours, and, sure enough, there was
the vacant square Alan had described.
It was surrounded by high fence.
Inside half q hundred lads, chattering
and industrious, were pottering about
vegetable beds innumerable. "CIass

2O-foot square potato patch. "Class B"

Marcia viewed the layout with inter-

the broad expanse with eagerness. She
uttered a sudden cry Of delight.
"Oh, sisterl" she said, Took, there is

BRAVES SEAS PERILS ALONE
In the Sir Francis Capt. Drake Has
Sailed More Than $4,000 Miles
Without Company.

Though a little boat, smaller than
most Of the bay schooners lying around
it at Pier 6 Pratt street, the Sir
Francis, Of Seattle, Wash. proudly
bears the distinction Of having sailed
more than $4,000 miles Of very adj
venturous voyage under the lone guild
ance of one man, Capt. Thomas Drake,
known as the Hermit Of the Seas.
Capt. Drake Is the incarnation of the
old rhyme about "the dashing crew
and the captain bold and the mate OF
the Nancy brig" for his long voyage
was made without the company of
human soul. When reporter from
the American visited Capt. Drake on
his little vessel yesterday afternoon,
he was just cooking his supper on
little stove In the cabin, and the place
had a very coy appearance. The
boat itself is very novel, having been
built to the captains own ideas. She
is 80 feet long and 10 feet wide and
draws about five feet Of water. She
is registered at five tons, but according
to the captain she is only about four
tons draft.
Capt. Drake left Seattle on July %,
1915, and since that time he has sailed
down the Pacific through the Panama
canal and up the Atlantic ocean, fin
ally reaching Baltimore. He carries d
three months supply Of food and water,
and on one leg Of his journey was out
on the sea for mole than six weeks,
covering distance OF 2, 400 miles. His
last stop was at Annapolis. The boat
is loaded with curios of the sea, and
the collection is Of rare interest. Capt.
Drake welcomes visitors, and the Sir
Francis viii be at her berth for several
days. Baltimore American.
