Chief Justice Gilfllan, of the supreme
court has handed down his decision on
the much talked Of oil inspector case.
The Judgment of the lower court is re-
versed, but the decision is victory for
H. B. Willis, state oil inspector, never
theless, and the oil companies will prob
ably come forward and pay the fees for
inspection over which all this legal
wrangle has been created. Willis won
his case in the lower court and the rul-

particular by the chief justice who re-
verses the Judgment on technical
point merely. This is in the fact that
Willis is not the proper party to bring

A Legend of Purgatory.

There is in the cliffs at Newport, r. l., a
well known cleft OR chasm, known far and
| wide as ''The Purgatory" How it came
to be called by this singular name tradi-
ton does not inform u.s.
But while the origin of the name is
unknown, The Purgatory is not without it's
traditions. In the hard rock certain tracks
are pointed Sat to the visitor, and he is told
that "they are the devils footprints" But
here is the story that accounts for them.
When Roger Williams began his mis-
sionary work in Rhode Island, he found
the Indians inclined to be friendly, all
excepting gigantic and particularly ugly
squaw, who was know as Nee-sho-tam, or
white man hater."
Nee-sho-tam hated the white man. or
Englshman, as the early settlers called
themselves, as the archfiend is said to
hate holy water, but when Roger Will
liams appeared she made an exception in
his case. Regardless of the fact that the
great missionary claimed to be married,
the giant Indian woman determined to
have him. She attended his preaching,
which she could not understand, though
she pretended to do so, and she submitted
to being baptized, though lit wrought no
change in her heart, except it might be to
increase it's wild affection for the white
man. ....
If Roger Williams guessed her secret he
kept the knowledge to himself, and rigid
ly continued his work of converting the
heather to righteousness. ..
Nee-sho-tam was a very bad and a very
impatient woman. Finding that she could
not become the good white mans wife, she
determined to kill him, but her attempt
on his life failed.
Her own people, disguised with her con-
duct, drove her from their midst, and then
she swore in her native tongue to kill the
first seven white men she met. and, armed
with mighty stone Ratchet, she started
off to keep her VOW.
She killed six men; three of them had
been strangled in her powerful arms. One
day, as she was hunting for the seventh
man, she came to The Purgatory, and there
to her great delight, she saw queer look
ing white man sitting with his legs hang
ing over the cliff.
Nee-sho-tam ran forward to hurl the
man down, but before she could do so be
sprang lightly to his feet and said in the
Pequot language:
Hello, old womanl Do you want to
wrestler"
i Will send you to the white mans help
she shouted, as she sprang at his throat
The white man smiled and showed
fine set Of ivory teeth. He seized Nee-sho- |
tam by the waist, and, powerful though |
she was she gasped for breath and tried |
to free herself, but without avail.
In the scutfic that ensued she tore off tie |
mans hat and saw that he had horns; she |
stripped off his cloak and found that he
had tail; then he kicked off his own
boots, and 10! she saw his hocfs. He was
the deviiagainst whom she had heard the
good missionary uttering his warnings.
The marks onThe Purgatory rocks were
made by the hoofs during this struggle.
Of course it could end in one way only.
Nee-sho-tam was hurled over the cliffs,
and far down, even unto this day, you can
see the red splotch-tLat marks where she
fell.

A recent book entitled "A Girl in
the Karpathians" gives an amusing
instance of the difficulty of Polish
grammar. A native village postmast-
er, about forty years of age, told the
author that '1ast summer he deter
mined to learn Polish (he'd been
brought up to speak nothing else), so
he went to another Pole, who said he
knew the language, and offered him
ten gulden a month to give him half
an hour day; but after six months
he gave it up in despair-not the
teacher, who, no doubt, felt he had
got an annuity for ife-but the pupil
He has since made up his mind to go
down to his grave without knowing

Shakespeare's plays contain about
a thousand passages in which the
Bible is either directly quoted, or ref
ence made to it's words and teachings
and always with approval. He makes
even his basest characters acknowl-
edge the claims of conscience and of
christianity. It is well for young
readers to bear this in mind of the
first name in literature-"the only
perfect intellect the world has SEEM"
A few years ago there was an interest
ing discussion in England concerning
"the hundred best books" A list by
Sir John Lubbock was sent to repre-
sentatives Of all classes and profess
sions by the present editor of the
Review of Reviews Stead, then
of the Pail Mall Gazette. The lead
ing English actor sent the following
reply:
My dear Sir:-In response to your
courteous request should say-Be-
fore hundred books commend me to |

- nost Ran Away with nIm.

A short time ago Henry @. Stoney, .
theological student at Victoria college,
bought q eenterboard slsiff, Accompanied
by Mr.. w, r. Heron, a college friend,
he went down the lake To take "the first
sail Of the season, as he ambitiorsly de-
eIarsd.
The watet inside the harbor seemed
comparatively placid, bat sailors could
see that q tremendously high sea was
running outside the shelter Of the long
piers. Some men on the shore who saw
him embarling spoke Of the danger Of
going out la such sea, but he ignored
their caution, although his companion
refused to so out with him. With a
small sail up he glided into the bay east
of the harbor. A few minutes afteTwaEd
the wind, which was sweeping down the
lake from the west, caught the boat in q
suuall and almost upset it, The uIl-
fortunate student escaped upsetting by
letting loose the sheet, and coming up
in the wind the skif quickly ran cut
into the open lake before an irresistible
wind, which increased violently the far
ther ont ne went. 1t soon became evi-
dent to persons on shore that the frail
boat, with its occupant, was drifting
helplessly upon huge waves which
threatened to oyerwhelm it every mo-
ment.
