The bad habit some savagcs have OF

who fall in their way simply because
heads are required 10 adorn their sa-
cred houses or to serve in the dcdica,o-

tragically ended the careers of n num-

The latest news from New Guinea i,
that Mr.. Armstrong. an Englishman.
was recently lured to one Of the coast
islands. where he vas decapitated and
his head e n to the coast chiefs as
proofs that the islanders were attend
ing to business. About a year ago q
brave in one Of the wild tribes on the
Indian frontier was not permitted to
wed the maiden OF his choice. because
her relatives were of the opinion that
he had not acquired a sufficient number
OF heads to demonstrate his prOwe-s.
1t was agreed that when he could show
two nor heads he might have the
girl. and 80 he sailed forth % win cp-

the first strangers the brave and his
party encountered were Lieutenant
Stewart Of the British army and his
small escort. who were led into an am
bush and slaughtered. and their heads
taken back in triumph tn the village.
This was the cap shcaf Of n series OF

As is the casc with the vast majority
OF inventors. il seems that the man
who originated the idea OF hobbies for
the threshing machine engine never re-
ceived n cen from the patent. Those
who don't know what hobbies are used
for may be told that they are two par
allel bars o! iron. which can be fast
ened by of taps and bolts. and
are attached On each side of the engine
from the top of the forewheels "a the
lower fellocs OF the hind wheels. for
the purpose Of preventing the engine
from shaking while il i. running nj a
high rate Of speed. Their invention
came about in this way: In "a country
village. a few miles west Of Indian
apOlis, Ind. lived "a mau named Harri-
son Swindler. who. besides being a
local Methodist minister. temperance
lecturer and a farmer. also run n saw
mill and a Touring mill. and in the har-
vest season ran three or four thre,hinS
ing machines in the neighbOrhood: in
fact. he seemed Ia bea general utility
man in the full sense Of the term. who
not only saved souls. but ~sirnoleans "a
well. As usual. necessity was the
mother Of invention in this instance.
1t was several years ago that the idea
struck him that by placing a braces or
support o! some kind on the wheels Of
the thresher engine 10 prevent its rock
ing. IL would run easier and smoother.
He took two heavy pieces OF scantling
and fastened them on the wheels by
means OF bolts and taps. and found
that they answered the desired object
exactly. This was considered only q
simple continuance. and he used them
for n long time without thinking Of the
value OF the idea il incorporated In q
patent right There was no name Tor
the new invention until one day Q
coun,ryman a~musinSly referred 70 the
engine as being ''hobblcd down." like
. horse Is hobbled sometime. By hav.
ing its feet tied with ropes 50 il can

From that time the continuance was
alluded 10 as = pair OF hobbies. One
day an Eastern machine agent hap
pened through the neishborhood and
san the engine hobbies. He sav their
