‘TWENTIETH CENTURY’ LIMITED One on The Pioneer Here's one on The Pioneer that struck us as rather funny: For Rent—@Girl for general house work. 917 Minnesota avenue. The above was published in Wed- nesday’s issue and evidently means that someone has a surplus of girls for general housework. —Nuff Sed— The Young Ones Are Wise Luke McLuke says that only the| very young men understand women | —young men between the ages of| six months and two years.

Suppose, for| ekample, the only eye-witness to a| murder should testify that the ac- cused is not the man who committed thg crime, and yet circumstantial evidence of guilt is so strong that the Jjury convicts of first degree murder. With what consistency can it be said ":hat.a quality of testimony which will justify a court in condemning a de- féndant to life imprisonment, or, in some jurisdictions, to be hanged, is insufficient to sustain a conviction of the fnl;ifier of the crime of perjury for which he may suffer a penalty of a short term of imprisonment? “The lightness with which, we are pained to say, the oath of a witness is too ofter_n treated, does not warrant us in making cnviction of the crime | of perjury most difficult of all crimes of which state courts have jurisdic- tion. We hold that perjury may be proved_by circumstantial evidence if proof 'is made beyond reasonable doubt, as in the case of other crimes.,” ADDITIONAL WANT ADS WANTED—Maid for general house- work.

The marringe market is a recog- nized institution among the Konyama people of southwestern Africa. They belong to the Bantu race, and the Ovambo tribe, inhabiting- a little- known district of South Angola, Por- tuguese West Africa. The marriage festivities, called Efundura, are divided into three stages, the first taking place in sow- ing time, and the last two during the autumn harvest season. The marriage- able girls dance before the whole tribe, and the men? select: their mates, but wait until the thid stage before nam- ing them. After the second stage, in which the dancing by the girls has continued for two' days and nights, the prospective bride has a dried palm leaf tied around her wrist by her pro- spective husband. He then hoists her on his shoulder, -and carries her away. about 20 yards. He puts her down, and female attendants give her two sticks with which to whip the man as he runs away. After this incident the brides all return to their kraals, cov- er.themselves with white ashes, and go all over-the-country. During this trip they do' pretty much ag they like. They sing and dance and extort gifts from any men who have courted them. ‘They also pounce on any man who as- sails them, and unite in beating him with clubs. HOW BLAINE SAVED: GARFIELD.
