WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom OF Burmese Tribe Leads 10
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which lads
and lassies Of the Red Karen tribe in
Burma meet are at marriage feasts
and at wakes. according to the Ma
tlonal Geographic Magazine. These
festivals last over three nights, and
are veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess of eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasoned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often In unions where husband
and wife are of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen the wife seventy, or
the other way about

BURR'S PURPOSE NOT KNOWN
historians Have Never Been Sure Of
Plans the Brilliant Adventurer
Had In Mind.

Aaron Burr's conspiracy has never
Been entirely understood by historians.
He went West on some mysterious
mission shortly after his duel with
Alexander Hamilton, which resulted in
the latter's death, and 1t Is suspected
that his purpose was either to found
new empire by separating the por-
ton of the country west of the Missis-
sippi from the rest of the Union, or
to make conquest Of Mexico. In
1905 he gathered up a number Of reck-
less persons around him and set out
In the direction of Texas, ostensibly
on colonizing expedition. President
Jefferson issued a proclamation warn
Ing citizens against Joining this prof.
ect, and later Burr was arrested by
Jefferson's orders and sent to Virginia
for trial.
There he was indicted for treason
and levying war within this country
with a friendly nation. Various legal
technicalities prevailed to secure his
acquittal on both these counts. The
matter Of Hamilton's death was
dropped, and Burr passed out Of public
sight.

An Essay,

Little Bobbie Jones was told to write
an essay on Doors" and the effort
which he sent In was as follows:-
Most houses have all the doors
that they need, and no house is COM
plete without at least one. The two
main differences between q door and
a gate Is first, their opposite location;
and, second. that people have much
less respect for q gate, and would
rather kick it than knock on 1t.
But q gate is more useful than
door because it does everything that
door can do, and, besides that, 1t
can be climbed over, and often Is.
1.-THE doorhandle is a small but i'm
portant part Of the door which people
never appreciate until 1t comes off.
Most people never notice the door
handle unless it is brought to their
notice on account of having jam spread
all over it.
"Doors are great things to give peo-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more II 1t wasn't for the keyholes."
