They agreed to take turns: looking after her and to educate her, A Nebraska ranchman, seeing this ‘item in a newspaper, wrote to the syndicate of twelve offering to “marry any one of them and to} sadopt the girl orphan also. This-was a practical and some- what trustful way of going about getting married. The ranchman “lives in a part of the State where there are no unmarried girls, and he “could not spare the time from his cattle to go courting in a town where * bachelor maids abounded. He assumed that the members of the syndicate must.like chifdren or they would not have adopted an orphan. He also _ ascumed that they would prefer to have children of their own. His pro- prsil showed at least a trusting disposition and sincere faith in woman- Kind. . ~The twelve Dakota ‘girls on receipt of the proposal held a meeting ‘and adopted a formal reply. They agreed that the eldest should have _ the first chance. They further drew up the following terms and con- ditions on which the cattleman would be accepted: 1, That he should provide a comfortable home. a 2: That he should furnish. his wife with every need and comfort —-3,-Fhat-he-should-neither smoke-nor chew_tobacco, 4. That he should drink no intoxicating liquors. 5. That he should use no profane or coarse language. 6. That he should spend his evenings at home. 7. That he should not play pool or billiards. ~” 8. That he should not flirt with any woman. 9. That he must attend church every Sunday. This filled the list°of commandments, except the tenth, which was eft open for the. prospective bride to lay down after further acquaintance. ——, : The ranchman has taken the conditions in frank good faith and is ‘trying to decide whether he has sufficient will power to abstain from ‘tobacco, whiskey and profanity. The prohibition of playing pool does hot bother him, since there is not a billiard table within. miles of his ranch. Neither is there any woman to flirt with. As regards attending _church, that will be somewhat difficult, since he would have to start at} daybreak, but he believes he can stand a twenty-mile drive every Sun- day if his wife can. z This plan of a sort of civil-service examination preliminary to mat- “rimony has many commendable features, but its working out in the =p case-is too-one-sided, ¥ Instead of the eldest. girl having the first ch there should be a ; itive-examination-between the twelve Dakota girls to asceriain | "what one will make the best wife. f What one is the best tempered?
