If it is found that any one among them is hurt, at a drinking party, he who will have done it asks his pardon. saying that he was drunk; and he is pardoned for that. But if some one has been killed. it is necessary that the murderer, aside from the confes- sion of his drunkenness and the pardon he asks, should make to the widow some present to which all the others condemn him. And to make the peace complete, he must PM for mother drinking bout.

' If he has not the skins, it is as If one were to say "I have not the m0nEl'-" To buy the brandy it was then necessu-y that he sell his gun. his blanket, or other thing in order to get it. This will cost hun live or six skins; they will give this to the fishermen for a bottle or two of brandy. Then they commence again to drink. If the brandy they have is not suf- ficient to make them drunk they will give everything they possess to obtain more. That is only :1 way of saying they will not cease drinking so long as they possess anything. Thus the fishermen are ruining them entirely. O O I

For as to the trading establish- ments, no one will ever give them so much that they are able to drink to the point of killing one another. and one sells to them dearer than do the ships. It is the captains and sailors who sup- ply it to them, to whom it costs no more than the original price. Through this they do not fall to make great gain. For all the ex- penses and charges of the ship, these are upon the owner, besides which the crew trades or bargains with the Indians using biscuit, lead. quite new lines, sails, and many other things at the expense of the said owners.

This allows them to give the In- dlans two or three times more than they are given at the estab- lishments, where there is nothing on which the freight or carriage alone does not cost sixty livres a ton. aside from purchase price and leakage. And aside from this there is given the Indians every time they come to the establish- ment a drink of prandy, a bit of bread and of tobacco as they en- ter. however many they may be, both men and women.

Which Is Better Basis For Happy Marriage?

DI-JAIL MISS lllx: For two years I have been going with I boy who is I hard worker, very considerate and very good to me. He has asked me to marry him but I hesitate because I want security.

This summer I met a man who is my idea of the right one for me. He has security and is established in a career. I don't love him, but feel in time I could. He has also asked me to marry him; he is a lot older than my other boy iriend. What should I do?

ANSWER: The great trouble with love is that it does not come or go at bidding. You cannot say. "This man is very nice. and in time I will love him." Things Just don't work out that way. 35 F rule. It is possible that you might marry la mat. for nis money. and through l kindness and devotion he could ultimately win your heart. The situation. however. presents too many "ifs." wooing should be done before marriage, not after.
