Washington, March 2.-Seventeen

REAL USE FOR "BEsT MAN.
In Other Times, He Was Not, as Today,
Merely a Lay Figure at
the Wedding.

An outcome of the primitive proceed
ure Of Selling another mans bride at
the altar was the comparatively recent
custom in Sweden that marriage take
place only after dark. The early Scan
dinavian idea was that it was not dig
nified for a warrior to WOO a woman.
Therefore he waited until she had
been successfully courted by another,
and then, when the marriage was
about to take place, he appeared with
his companions to carry off the bride.
Knowing the danger, prospective
bridegroom took measures to prevent
his prize from being snatched away
from him at the eleventh hour. Behind
the altar of an ancient church at
Husanby, Gothland, is an old collection
of long lances, with sockets for torches,
which illustrates the methods Of de-
tense resorted to. These were sup
piled to the groomsmen to furnish pro-
lection as well as Illumination for the
ceremony.

PAUL w. KUHNS.

The human race is frequently opposed to
ease and rest. 1t does not stop to dig hole or
pause to build nest. It wanders up and down
the earth as free as antelope, pursuing over hill
and plain the blinking star of hope; and many
are there who their first and final peace have
found when they were firmly covered with SOL
emn sx-foot mound
To civilize these flying geese and tame
these roaming looms, such is the large and heavy
job cut out by Mr. Kuhns. He heads an nsttu-
ton which beseeches folks to save to plan with
pose and permanence before they reach the
grave, to rescue precious money unintelligently
spilled and plant it in piece of ground on top Of
which they build.
He guarantees the happiness which they will
thus derive, and promises prosperity which will
abide and thrive. Their family will multiply
and merrily increase but everything will move
along in harmony and peace. They soon will be
the owners of Chevrolet or Ford and of suit
able garage in which it may be stored.
His company, conservative in policy and
name, is playing with immense success big and
busy game. He plans building of his own to
house their enterprise and with some office to
let to other active guys. Commend man of
sapience, whose stimulating loans have made
some high class husters out of dull and drifting
drones
