Qverdid the Part.

There Is one smart Chinaman stay
ing now perforce In northern Mexico
who, but for slight error. would be
enjoying a residence in the United
States. Arrested for attempting to en-
ter Illegally via the Mexican border,
he tried to palm himself of, before the
court, according to United States Com
missioner A. J. w. Schmid ut FL Paso,
Tex, as an old resident of Seattle. So
well had he been coached In the part
that the federal attorneys could pick
no flaw In his apparent knowledge of
Seattle. names and places. In desper-
alton. the prosecution finally asked If
he had ever known Julius Caesar up
there. Yes, the Chnaman had heard
Of him often. Did he remember Mark
Antony. and how he acted as states
witness at the trial Of Caesars muir
derers? Yes. he remembered Anthony
we'll, and the murder, too, and was
only a little haZy in his mind about
the trial. Ten minutes later he was
on a Mexican bound trolley.-New
York Evening Post.

Old Mans Marital Philosophy,

A ninety-year-Old bridegroom started
his sixth honeymoon walking part
way from Winona. Tenn, to Cincin-
natl, Ohio. with his twenty six-year-old
bride, as an example for other young
married couples. NINETY is lot
more sensible age to get married at
than nineteen, like a lot of them young
ships do" he said. "When a man IL
ninety he has good sense. SO he don't
make mistakes. l started marryin'
when l was twenty-three. I'm sorta
getting used to 1t by now. When you
haven't had more than one wife you
don't know anything" Mary Jane.
his wife, said 1t was love at first sight.
'sEIe met and married me In an hour"
she said. HE wanted some one to do
homework and said I would take
the job. Then he asked me U I
wouldn't marry him"

credited with helping them financially

Later, colonies were established in
Saskatchewan and other parts of
Canada.
A peculiar custom Of these people
is the washing Of feet. They say that
the command Of Christ to the woman
to wasl, His feet 'tands on the same
spiritual level as His acts of distrlb-

story related by st. Luke Is as impor-

gard, including the sacrament and
communion
Community property Is another
Mennonite belief, although 1t is not
general. The members OF the sect CO.

QUEER "Hum0R" At WEDDINGS
ordsals Undergone BY Bridegroom b
Some Parts q Scotland and IN
Old Austria.

In parts Of the Scottish Highlands
there has long been In practice q
ceremony called "creeling the BRIDE
groom" After a marriage friends
take the bridegroom In hand. They
tie on his back Greet or basket and
ill It with stones. Then he Is forced
to walk with his heavy burden through
the entire community. followed BY men
to see that he does not drop the creel.
even for an instant. The bride can
ransom him by coming out ON the
street and kissing him In public. but
IL she is a shy person the bridegroom
must make the full rounds with his
basket Of stones. Tho ordeal Is made
worse for the man because the con-
ductor Of the ceremony Is the last
person previously married, and he
naturally tQkes revenge ny making the
erecting severe.
A widely followed custom ia to
make the bridegroom fight for his
bride In battle sometimes mimic,
but as often quite stern. In parts
Of old Austria this was dramatic. I'm
mediately after the couple appeared
from the service they were surrounded
by young men in masks who tried
to separate them. Once separated, tho !
husband had TO fight to regain his
wife. If he was unsuccessful he had
to pay ransom. Then to make matters
worse-for the BRIDE as well as the
bridegroom--the wedding feast" in
cluded cake appetizingly mixed with
COW hair, egg shells and hog bristles.
Man and wife must eat Of this cake to
bring good luck to their cattle and
poultry.
