Tho writtr while riding across

"What do you menu by a swap

"W'al, ef that don't beat all. Say

"Humph!" ej'aciilated the wo

"Wives! You don't menu to

"Thot's jes' wot I mean," ivpli

My continued application and
through the friendly service of a
big canp'on of excellent brandy, I
learned that the "match" was a
fact, and it was not long before I
had induced my host to guide me
to the place.
A ride of about two hours over
the mountains brought u to the
residence of the Snggses. It was
like that of Simpson's and every
other habitation I saw in the lo"
oulily, a log hlriietuii!, but unlike
Simpson's, it had two rooms in
place of one. In the yard it tit 1 mi

urrrt of Dr. Pajo'a Tatarrh HtuiKly. for
an L'icuralila caav of Catarrh la Uiu UcuX
Suggs, tho proprietor of the house,
was the tirft to broach the subject
which he diil in the following Ian
gunge:
"Wctins hev met here to swop
an' trude. I hev been tryin' to
swop wiiiimiu with Juke Long
hero for sometime. I hev got my
woman here an' so hez Jake, an'
I'm ready to trade. What d'ye
say, J nke I"
Jake, a hip-, iawky young fcl-
low, mid:
women .eeiueil to be almost utter-
ly iudilTerent, of if they did ob
ject they spoke no wonl or made
no sige.
"That's inor'n I'll give, Long;
that woman," pointing to his wife,
"is u good cook anil kin hoe us
much corn as eny woman in the
niiborhood, mi' she's vnl'ble. I'll
trade up mi' no boot."
There was considerable talk and
a dozen propositions, which finally
ended in Suggs' "swapping" for
Long's woman ur.il giving a red
cow with one horn and two sh
icep
as a premium or "boot."
This settled, two others -a middle-aged,
red-whiskered fellow,
with a rather good looking young
woman for a wife, ti ailed with u
young man for a woman who was
old enough to be his mothei, but
who looked as though she could
jierform iilmobt any manual labor.
The "iiug man turned over his
property and took charge of the
one he Inn! burtered for. lie seem
ed somewhat pleased with his bar
gain and his new perchuse certain
ly did not seem to have been sorry
for thu exchange. The name of
the young fellow was Mlodgett.
There were bix bargains or
trades Miceocsfully closed during
the day- one of which was be
tween an old fellow of 00 or more
and u much younger man, in which
they had merely exchanged for the
woman the other man had in his
possession at a former time. They
both teemed pleased to gut their
women back. There was no lux.it
nor premium in the trude.
One trude which seemed to e
cite the risibility of the bystanders
was between a couple of men, one
of whom hud a small, sharp-feat
mud, thin-lipped woman, with
snapping black eyes and u disposi
tion which was not bunny by iiny
iiicjiiis. The owner of this woman
who was evidently u hhtew, hud of
fered us boot a hone and a pair of
hounds. In the proposition he
lauded the merits of his hounds us
hunters mid his horse us a sure
footed traveler, but somonow for
got to Miy anything in praise of
his helpmeet. It was no go, how
ever. The other mini who went by
the name of Punt, seemed pretty
well postetl as to tho mialideulions
of the woman in question. Finally
he s.ud:
I II tell you wat I'll do. You
km then do' it, or we'll quit tulkin'.
I'll thako thet boss, thet pair yaller
holm's, an' thum eight sheep to
boot, an' I won't take a cent less."
and with that he turned as if to
walk uwuv.
Hnl' on," said I'uiit. I'll do it.
by crat key; but it'n u tough bar
gain." hen the putehi ser of tho snap-py-!ooking
little woman sent her to
get the horse, which lu.d been tied
to u tree in the woods, the latter
said to her purchaser:
You'll hev a hut time, I 'low
That woman hut got the temper of
the devil, an' she'll alius let you mi
kuo, she's 'round."
"I kuo' how to 'tend to that bus
iness, Punt. Shu mi I'll bu e
quiet as a pot lam' in two days or
Ihur'll be truld".
What the result of this trade was
I never learned, uh I never saw tiny
of them after, except the young
mail Hludgi-tt mid bis u w lu lp
meet. As they lived several miles
away in the direction of the moun
tain through which I had to tyiss to
get out of that country, 1 rode along
with them, und lluding I could do
no belter, accepted their hospitality
for the night. Hlodg.-tt scoim-il a
mild sort of a follow, cuhv, good-im
lured, but ignorant. His new spouse
was a woman of '22 ur 211, somew hat
good-looking, as good looku went in
that ruction. Her face wan more
intelligent than nnv I had seen, and
she seemed plenseif over tho result
of the trade, With all my jniwers
of n'iietrution I failed to iind any
repugnance or horror over theaHair
either with her or any one connect
ed with it. Thev seemed to take it
us a legitimate transaction, and I
could only account for it on the
gruund of utter ignorance of the
law, either statutory or moral. Hit
custom of trading wive among
these iHiiple seemed as old and well
loimdcd us is the everyday anil ev
cry where habit of trailing in ordina
rv articles of barter.
We arrived al ltlodgettV Iioum! or
cabin early in the evening and the
new feminine bead of the faimlv be
gan without a ripple or objection on
the part of the Mlodgett juniors of
whom there were lour.
Mrs. Mlodgett the latest was u
prettv fuir cook and took to the lat
est btage of family iillairs us natur
ally as if she had raised the family
herself.
Mlodgett, 1 must admit, seemed a
pleasant sort of fellow, ready to give
ids guest the best he hud, uiul to as
sist him in unv manner possible.
The evening meal over, 1 retired to
bed in one corner of the room the
cabin consisted of one room only
and fell asleep almost immediately.
In the morning I left, and before
noon I had ridden through the gap
and down the mountain side into
another country, nntl among uiioth
or, and lo all appearances a differ
ent people.
When 1 told them what 1 hud
seen they showed no surprise; in
fact almost evcryl'mly appeared to
know more about it than I knew
myself. They stated that the sec
tion through which I had just come
hail been settled generations since
by a p"culiar people who were wide
ly dill'treut in their modes and hab
its from the (.fillers of other parts of
the state, and that their peculiari
ties grew up with them The coun
try was too wihl and opportunities
for eommuiiii'iitiiiti too scarce to in
vite settlcme nt from the outside
world, consequently the people were
left severely alone, being seldom
disturbed even by a passing travel
er like myself.
There is an interesting bit of
history about the manner in which
this territory came by its name.
Washington was not the choice of
the early settlors of the north conn
try. '1 he pioneers held a eon von
lion at Moiiticcllo, on the Cowlitz
river in 1N.VJ. They wanted to
seier relations with Oregon and
become a separate teirilnry. 'I hey
adopted a memorial to congress.
In the document tiny set forth
their population, resources and
area, ami asked to bo recognized us
u territory with the name of (.'ol
iimbia. The congressional com
inittee to which the immjoriul went
reported favorably a bill nnd re
tallied the name of Columbia.
Mut when the bill was put on i t e
iKihsago u Kentucky uiumber, M
II. Stanloii. urosc ii it 1 1 moved to
substitute the iiiimu of Washing
ton fur Columbia. He argued
that Col iiubiis had been hoiioied
by having the District of OoIiiiii
bin named after him, but no state
or territory bud 1 eon named after
the father of his country. Mr.
Stmitoii'sameudiueut Went through
by this change, in February, ls,"i;i
Washington territory got the name
which those desirous of li.iuug
