THE BUDDHIST SOLOMON.


@'N"' So
We shall give as a small specimen of what Schlef-
ner has brought 70 light from the canonlcal books
of the Buddhlsts two stOrles both III the spirit Of
the story OF SolOmon's judgnent-the one ~ moro
rudlmeutaTy, the other In a more developed form.
- A man took of his boots apd left them on the
shore ID. lore he went to battle in the river While
be was bathing another man came, took the ooOts
tied them round his neck, and plunged INTO the
water When the first had bathed, be went on
are you looking torT said the man IN the water
NV boots he replied. Where are your
boots the Other sand, If you have any, you should
tie them round your neckk before you INTO
the water a. have done Then the first sand, But
the boots you nave round your neck aIe my bOOis.'
Soon "a fight arose, and they went before the King
The King commanded his Ministers 70 settle their
dispute. but after sitting IN Judgment the whole
dav they went home tired III the evening aud could
not settle anything. Then clever woman, VS.
dkhA by name, when she heard OF tie lawsuit said
What is the use of examining and cross-eXaunn-
iug9 say TO one man, lake TINS boot and 10 the
other AXE that boot. Ihen the real owner VIII
say why should my pair OF boots be divided Z
But the thief will say. WHAT shall do with one
boot The King followed her advice aud the thief
wa, discovered"
The next story approaches more closely
to the Judgment of 80 onion, aud As the
matter IN dispute Is settled without the
cruel order OF the King to cut the child
IN two, the BudGnis; may even claim certain adj
vantage over the Semetc story. householder
had married "A wife, and when their marriage re-
manned chIldlcss he married second. When The
second wife became the mother of son, she WAS
afraid that the first wife would hare and luure the
child and ont OF love for her SON she agreed with
her husband that the first wife should be TIE reputed
mother OF the boz After time the hus
band died, and as the house belonged To the
son, the two wives began 10 quarrel. which Of
them should i've IN the house with her son. AZ
last they went before the klug he King COM
manded his Ministers TO settle the dispute.
with the usual result that the judges could make
nothing of 1t. linen the clever woman Nhakha
came M aud said: a" " nat * the use OF examining
and crosS-eXamiuing these womenf Tel them that
We do not know VINO the real mother l. ami THAT

hold of the boy and pull him with al their might,
aud " hoover can pull hardest shall have the boy

beng pulled very hard, began 10 cry lnen the true
mother Iet him 20 and SAID: Anyhow, If he is not

10 see him. But the other woman tore HIM away
with rod and tie true mother was allowed TO

aP1CHE WIVES AND MorHERSLNLAW
From The San Francisco Post


When a brave concludes to marry, either first Or
anv subsequent wife. the manner of his conrtshp Is
the same. He makes no effort to become agreeable
10 his intended bT indeed. rarely II ever notices
her or speqs to her except in answer L. questions
she may put 10 um. He pays more attention, how
ever. to her male relations, particularly her broth
ers # she has any. Finally. if he becomes satisfied
whole If llr j. accomplished In few hours aud
generally in this fashion: At night be takes the
presents intended for the girls parents, VINO alone
are entitled 10 receive any and places them near
tie lodge in which she resides II the presents are
horses thew have their tTappngs also, and tied
with macate the lodge; If COW IL TO Oe given,
a single straw, or a cows horn which signifies the
intention, Is tied to the lodge Ii the presents are
accented, which almost always happens, the glTl
goes IN the morning and builds a new lodge or hut
for herself and husband, and puts the straw ia 10
tor their bed. If the man Is rich there Is some
ceremony about the marriage; II poor very little
or none.
Before finishing this story will speak OF strange
custom among those Indians, Tor winch they can
give no reason. Ii is cons idsred a great ndecency
for q man to look at his mOther-In-law : face, and
still more so to speak TO her. II by chance they
happen to come close together. one RUS IN one d.
rectlon and the other the opposite one unui they
are several yards apart Sometimes, II they happen
to be ne of an age pretenCc Of intending 10 APP

stance. the sou-ln-law Is IN hut, ana the mother
approaches near enough 10 be heard, and calls To
HIM that she IL approaching. he replies: Do yOu
not know am here ~ She answers: Yes but am
coming al the same' He hen dares her to come.
but invariably when he percelyes she Is getting
