which Are to be made in the districts
and on the circuits and one for the
Court of Claims to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Schotield.
1t is surmised that there will be some
surprises in these appointments a
number of politicians have been seek
ing them and have fairly deluged the
President with political Endorsements.
President Harrison, however, has been
determined all along to let capacity
weigh most strongly in making up this
list, and it is expected that the West
will receive good share of the places.
1t has been said in reliable quarters
that sohcitOr-geueral Taft may 90 up
on the circuit embracing his own State

South Dakota may receive the appoint.

1t would cause no surprise if AttOr-

for a place on one of the circuits, al
though he has teen considered 50 like

Susi and another faithful comtxde who en-
tered the hut in which their master breathed
his last, and found him on his knees with
his head bent over his lowly couch. still In
death. They decided to take his body
1900 miles, much Of the way through hos.
,ils country, and restore il to his friends Ia
Eaglsnd. The world knows with what
skill and courage they performed this mis-
sion.
They first cmbalmed the body so that
they were able to transport IL over the long
road. They buried his heart under . tree
near the hut where he had died. and paid
the native chief to keep the spot where they
had buried the precious relic in good order.
The carried the body through Ugogo, where
II was = crime punishable by death to trans
pr. human remAins through the country.
During this perilous part Of the way they
were compelled to make the package con-
tanning the body resemble . bundle Of
merchandise. The Wagogo were content
with opening two or three packages which
looked exactly like that In which the body
was encased, and, seeing nothing contra.
band. they permitted the little expedition to
go its way. Thus it happens that the re-
mains of DR.. Livingstone lie today in West.

Susi was thanked by vote Of Parliament.
and received handsome and substantial
recognition from the Queen and British
government for his fsithfulness and de-
votion to Livingstone.
