Choctaw Justice.

Out in. the Indian Territory the
Choctaws continue to administer justice
in their own way. When an Indian COM
nits theft he is given thirty nine lashes
on the bare back, provided it is his first
offense. Ii it is his second offense he re-
iceiyes Dinety-nine laahes, and, should it
be his third offense, they stand HIM up
and shoot him like dog. The fellow
who is so unlucky as to be condemned to
be shot for stealing is permitted to select
his executioner, and he generally chooses
his nearest and best friend. The victim
is stripped to his waist and black spot
is made on his breast over his heart.
The executioner stands off six or eight
PAGES with navy revolver, and sends a
bulletcrusbing through the thieft's heart.
The victim is never bound or blindfolded.
He stands up bravely, without sign
OF finching, and in fact rather seems to
like it. An Indian who is sentenced to
die in this way knows that if he exhibits
the slightest sign of fear or makes his
escape he will ever afterwards be re-
garded as coward, and in his eyes this
is far more dreadful doom than death
itself. This being the case NO attempt
is ever made to escape. No Jail is
needed to confne victim. He is al
lowed the freedom of the territory until
the day of his death when he always
tarns up at the appointed hour and place
aud takes his little leaden pill with as
much unconcern as you would dose of
salts.

Japan Tea.
lFrom the Cleveland Herald

ssJapan tea is not favorite in these
days, said grocer. "Ten years ago
rage in its favor set in, and the Japanese
ten was called for on all sides. But it
fell out Of public favor as speedily as it
came in. Why? It had not enough of
merit to keep it in. The first lots we got
from Japan were choice in quality, be-
cause the growth was small and great
attention was paid to it's culture, with
hopes for the future. But the demand
increased in few jumps, care was
abandoned by the growers and the only
object sought was to fill the orders.
Consequently the Japanese tea that
found its way to the American market
was sorry lot. Tea lovers soon found
1t out and the Chinese stimulant was
taken again and found much better.
Not only we're the old and tough leaves
of the tea plant picked at all times Of the
year, instead of the young green ones of
the spring season, but Westaria leaves
were mixed in with them. When the
Japan tea first came here the dried
leaves had a delicate olive tint and were
long and wiry. Now they are broken
and range in color from black to yellow,
the result OF artificial colorings with
various blues. gypsum aud soapstone.

Keep Your Husband Home.
[From tho Detroit FREQ presr j


A few days ago Detroit wife was
led her almost to death. It was enti-
tied: Glow to Keep Your Husband
at Home, and it was about the Troy
wife who turned the sitting.room into q
saloon and thus welded her husband to
his home and kept him in nights.
This Detroit cackled and glinned and
cackled again, and vowed that she'd fol.
low the plan to the last detail. That
evening, when her husband had finished
his supper and was making a rush for
his hat to go down town and see a man
on $780, 900 worth OF business, the ex-
ultant wife led him into the library.
There was sawdust on the floor, six big
spittoons artistically arranged around the
room and bar on which rested half n
dozen bottles of beer and supply of
beer glasses.
"My angel wife, may heaven bless
you'll" exclaimed the husband as he
looked around him and took in all the
details.
Then he walked around and expecto.

up to the bar and swore like trooper

said he was just as good as Vanderbilt
or any other man. When he had i'm
bibed some more beer he kicked over
the bar and broke the bottles, and as
soon as his wifeibegan to talk politics
he blacked her eye and went in to clean
out the place. When the neighbors
finally got the man quieted down things
were endwise and crosswise all over the
house, while half the neighborhood
were hunting for fre.alarm box and
the other half for the police. When
the hystericky wife had finally explained
her plan to the mob filling the parlor
the husband sat up on end amidst the
wreck and waved his fist about and
shouted:
"You bez your booz! Nicesz s'loon in
zish town! Nicesz wife in D'troit! Ey-
erybody come upand driz at my 'spense!
