Wedding ''Gifts" Once
Held Legal Obligation

by wedding custom common In
tho British isles until the early part
OF the Nineteenth century, the couple
sent out invitations In which pres
ents were solicited from those who
accepted the bidding. More strange,
these solicited gifts were regarded
In the light OF debts to be paid back
by the couple. On the eve of the wed
ding the groom received at his house
presents Of money, cheese, butter and
cattle from his friends, and the bride
received similar gifts at her house
from her friends. An account of each
gift and the giver was kept in writing
by the clerk of the wedding and the
presents then became debts, which In
some cases were transferable or as.
slgnable to other persons. In other
words these wedding glft-debts were
repayable upon demand at any time
and upon refusal, recoverable ut law
II was In Scotland, however where
a wedding became real business
event. At their penny weddings of
the last century the expense Of the
marriage was betrayed not by the
couple or their friends, but by the
guests all OF whom paid something
or stayed away.-DetroIt News.

Several winters ago became ac-

camping which | believe was, and Is,
Just about as ingenious as one would
expect to meet with In many moon, p"
writes Robert Page Lincoln In Forest
and Stream. "A trapper showed me
the trick II involved the use Of two
wall tents The one tent as ] remem.
her II, was nine by eleven while the
other was twelve by fourteen. The
smaller tent was erected inside OF
the larger tent. A good Job had been
done of pegging down and stretching
both of these tents The result was
that the outer tent was a windbrenk
par excellence and that even In the
coolest winter weather the inside was
well protected, the camp stove, box
affair, keeping an even temperature

SOLOMON NEWS ITEMS

The vanishing point of the ap- propriation for tha Solomon road was reached on the tenth of Sep tember and camp was broken on the morning of the eleventh, and with the exception of few men left for the purpose of completing the work on the Bonanza ferry and a little necessary work at Port Safety. the rest of the men were in Nome the same evening.
 Notwithstanding the inclem- ency of the weather. heavy rains, strong winds and the other dis. advantages, together with the in disposition of the caterpiller, . good showing was made and the road past Big Hurrah from Solo. mon is in good shape.
 The bridge across Big Hurrah. ITO feet long, twelve feet wide and strong enough to sustain the weight of any machinery that may be needed in case the old quartz mine on Big Hurrah is reopened and the new quartz ledge is dew eloped and it is understood that capital is now taking tentative interest in the development of the. quartz on Big Hurrah and with the road and bridges as they are the transportation of supplies has no longer impossible conditions to contend with, and even if the road was not continued the work dona is worthy of commendation.
 The Goldsmith dredge will shut down early this year, but will be ready to start operation as soon as possible nex: spring.
 The good ground that the Casa de Paga dredge is working on con tinues and the opera tors are well satisfied with the cleanup.
 Quigley has his bed rock Hume completed It has a length of ov- CT 2.O00 feet and by hydraulic ing his drift through it overcomes the fatness of the grade. His ground is notably good and with the Hume working he should be able to make a noticeable addi- tion to the Solomon outfit.
