As the prairie girl has grown up with her training along practical lines, ,so she asks only of her lover that he shall be manly and true, writes Charles Moreen Harger, of “A Girl’s Life on the Prairie,” in Ladies’ Home Journal “Thousands of acres of land do not make a fortune, and social degrees are practically unknown. The wedding is nearly always at the bride’s home. Not once in threescore times is it at the church. The near relatives and a few dear friends are the guests. The bride’s white wedding gown is simply made. Bunches of goldenrod or roses deck the little parlor or sitting—room, and from the organ comes the wedding Harry Tryon, her son ”who ” Baptist , march. Seldom does a groomsman or a bride’s attendant take part in the core mony, and more seldom is there a re- ccptidn afterward. .Fortunate indeed cape a vociferous serenade, for the 1 charivari and the bombardment of rice and old shoes are well- established cus- toms on the plains. The papers usually add to the story of the marriage: “After the wedding supper and con- gratulations the happy couple drove to their own home, which had already been fitted up for their occupancy. ” CAPTURING sTURchii: Mounted Russian Cossacks Through the Ice of Swift Rivers. To fish while mounted on the back of a horse probably would be beyond the capacity of gentle Izaak IWalton of de- lightful memory, yet that is the way sturgeon is captured in the frozen rivers 'of the Ural mountains. Russian Cossacks fish in large bands, says a for- eign paper. They gallop along until they reach the point in the rivers where the current has its swiftest flight. There they dismount and cut into the ice until they have cleared a small pool of water which extends across the rapid current almost from one bank of the river to the other. A net is then sunk to the bottom of the stream and stretched across it at the open pool so that not a single fish can swim beyond its meshes. Then the horses are mounted and the Cossacks turn back and ride along the edge of the river for about four or five miles. Then the band wheels about and gallops rapidly along the ice-covered stream, making a. pic- ture that would delight at Schreyer or a Fromentin. The loud cannonade caused by the beating of the horses' hoofs on the surface of the ice terrifies the stur- geon and they swim quickly in swarms into the net that waits their capture. 1: Annual sales over6.090.000DBoxe. “ 's 903 BILIOUS AND NERVOUS DISORDERS such as Wind and Pain in the Stomach.
