Manners of the Married.

According to young man we know
one of the most difficult duties for q
bachelor to accomplish is to pass q
week end in the home Of married
friends. When he was questioned as tc
the particular form of torture, he gave
the following list of invariable dis
comforts attendant upon such a visit
They ask you to admire impossible
children.
They both talk at once, on the same
or different subjects.
They take you for motor rides and
quarrel about the routes.
The baby invariably cries before
breakfast.
They ask a pretty girl to meet you
who hasn't a spoonful of brains.
They talk about themselves and new
er give you chance.
Frequently the cook has just lief
and you have to wash dishes.
They persist in talking old time:
that you long to forget.
They say you ought to be married
and they've 'just the right girl"
They're glad when you're gone ant
you're glad to go.-Putnam Patriot.

VENEER QUICKLY WORE OFF
Habits Of Civilization Almost Imme.
diateIy Forgotten When Indian Chill
dren Returned to Tepees.

When General Hancock opened his
campaign In the Indian spring Of 1867
he was waited on at the outset by
some Cheyenne chiefs and asked to
hold council Among other matters
brought up for readjustment was one
Of two Indian children, supposed to be
survivors of the Chivington massacre
at Sand Creek, Col. Taken as waits
by the government, they were placed
In homes and educated. Because Of
their extreme youth it seemed an easy
task to eradicate the "Injun" and
bring them up in the white mans
road.
One Of the two, boy, was taken
east. The other, girl, was placed
with family r ear Denver. They were
dressed and educated according to
civilized standards Then their people
demanded that they be returned. The
government had PROMISED by treaty to
return such, and the boy and girl,
eight or nine years of age, were Or
dered back to their people.
To all outward appearances, includ-
ing habits and mannerisms, the two
were like any white children. When
delivered to their people they showed
no desire to quit the white mans road.
Inside of years residence with the
Indians the two lost their veneer, had
forgotten, or at least claimed to have
forgotten, all knowledge Of the Eng
fish language, and were quick to avoid
contact with the whites. The blood Of
the wild claimed it's own.-Adventure

Effect on the Natives Of the

a man because he prayed for rain.
The prayer was granted, but as re-

a perfectly useful wife, climbing

In describing the Cambria coal field

coal. From the occurrence of iron

this mineral carries the precious met

MARK LOVERS RESTING PLACE
Pretty Indian Legend Concerning
Trees of Somewhat Peculiar Growth
at Athens, Tennessee.

About a century and a quarter ago
near where Athens, Tenn, now stands,
lived a Cherokee chief and his beauti-
full Indian daughter, Nicolula Kowena.
She was betrOthed to a young chief Of
her tribe when a white youth came
into the village, met her, won her love
and succeeded in getting her to break
her betrothal to the Indian brave and
promise to marry her white lover, re-
iates the Ladies' Home Journal. The
disappointment fired the heart of the
discarded Indian sutton with a spirit
Of revenge. Watching his opportunity,
he stole upon the two lovers when
they were seated on a fallen log in a
secluded spot and plunged his knife
into the heart of the white man who
had robbed him of his sweetheart.
But Nicolula KOwena, rendered
frantic by the death Of her lover,
seized the knife, plunged it into her
own breast and fell dying across his
feet. Later their bodies were found
and buried where they fell. According
to the tribal custom in burying the
unmarried, twig Of forest tree and
it's fruit was placed in one hand Of
each.
Today there are two large trees
with roots and branches interlocked-
one a large black oak and the other a
hackberry-the two aged trees with
their mingled roots and branches
which, legend says, sprang from the
hands of the two forest lovers Of long
ago.

Last winter an association of col

ORIGIN OF DRINKING PLEDGE
Custom Said to Have Originated at
the Time Of the Danish lnva-
sion Of England.

In work entitled observations on
the Popular Antiquities of Great Brit.
ain: Chiefly Illustrating the Origin OF
Our Vulgar and Provincial Customs,
Ceremonies, and Superstitions," by
John Brand, M. A, fellow and secre-
tary of the. Society of Antiquaries OF
London, those curious about drinking
customs could find much entertain
ment Under the head Of "Pledging"
it gives the origin of that custom.
The word pledge is most probably
derived from the French pleige, a
surety or gage. Some deduce the ex-
preston I'm pledge you" in drinking,
from the time when the Danes bore
sway in the island. 1t is said to have
been common with these ferocious
people to stab native in the act of
drinking, with a knife or dagger;
thereupon people would not drink In
company, unless some one present
would be their pledge or surety that
they should receive no hurt whilst
they were in their draught.
DR.. Henry's History Of Great Brit
aim says:
IF an Englishman presumed to
drink in the presence of Dane, with
out his express permission, it was
esteemed so great mark Of disre-
spect, that nothing but instant death
could expiate. Nay, the English were
so inundated that they would not
venture to drink even when they were
invited, until the Danes had pledged
their honor for their safety"

Doo lntelliQence.

In England a short time ago. says
an exchange, a medal was awarded a
Great Dane for saving his masters
life. A roaring, deafening wind was
blowing, and the man was walking
along a dark Cheshire road with his
head down.
The dog was some distance behind,
but presently he came up at racing
speed, took jump at his master, and
sent his sprawling into the hedge. The
dog himself could not escape the bon
net of the car which, but for his in
tervention, would have killed his mas
ter, and was badly injured.
