THE TRIAL WENT ON.
Where tho Judge Must BE nm Athlete II
He Runs the Court.

ne NUNS lho SOuVHs
A western court OF justice is often a
scene of wild and picturesque excite
ment not to say disorder. Such a
scene occurred in u Justices court
room at Silver City A. T., during
last fall, The case was the trial OF
an Indian arrested for stealing horse
from three brothers, runchmen.
The prisoner was a tall. well-limbed
Apache youth, not over 10. His face
was the hue of FURNISHED copper, the
bright warm color of one-cent piece
fresh from the mint His long black
hair was brushed straight back from
the low, sloping forehead, and formed
loop that stood up like II pompon,
caught on the top of his head with q
piece OF red ribbon. while long heavy
braids hung down over his shoulders
falling across his broad chest and tied
with silk floss of II dozen different
bright colors A long Navajo blanket
hung in graceful folds from his shout
ders completed an attractive picture
of perfect type of the race.
When the constable entered the
court room with the prisoner one of
the accusers with an oath, bawled
out that he would lynch the red devil.
At this the other two took up the
strain and started in to run the court.
Here the justice, though an old man,
showed his spirit and jumping on to
the table remarked that he was "a
Western man and fightn' man, and
that he'd have order in that court OF
he'd have blood
Then things cooled down for n while,
or until the brothers began haunting
the lawyer appointed by the court to
defend the prisoner,
That gentleman, taking the law into
his own hands started in TO whip the
brothers three, and after two ha(
measured their lengths on the dirty
floor the constable jumped in with
dubbed revolver and restored order
After this the trial proceeded withou
interruption. Detroit Free Press.

SHAVING ONLY A FASHION.
It Went In and Out Several Times In the
Last Eve Hundred Years.


Last Eve Hundred Years.
The earliest reference TO shaving oil
the beard is found in Genesis xii. a.
where we read that Joseph. on being
summoned before the king. shaved
himself There are several directions
rs to shaving in Leviticus, and the
practice is alluded to in many other
parts of the Bible. However. Egypt
is the only country mentioned In the
Bible where shaving was practiced; in
all other countries ut that time such
an act would have been considered ig-
nominloua
Herodotus mentions that the Egyp-
Lians allowed their boards to grow
when they were in mourning. says the
St Louis Republic. So particular
were they as to shaving at all other
times that to have negle it was to
make ones self the butt OF coarse and
ridiculous jokes. Even in this day and
age. when the Egyptian wants to con-
vey the idea OF man OF low condition
and slovenly habits they always pic
ture to you man with full beard.
This notion is very ancient a fact at
tested by works of art found in burial
monuments dating back thousands OF
years
1t Is believed that there even was a
time when every orthodox Egyptian
run the shaving tool over his face.
scalp and eyebrows at least once in
every forty eight hours Unlike the
Romans OF later age, the Egyptians
did not confne the privilege OF shaw
ing to free citizens, but obliged their
slaves to shave both face and head.
The data is not exactly as authentic az
one would like to have, but it is be-
lieved that the custom OF shaving the
beard was introduced at Rome in the
year 800 B. G. According to Pliny,
Scipio Africanus was the first Roman
who shaved daily.
In France the custom OF shaving
came in with Louis Kill. who was
young and beardless. The Anglo
Saxons wore their boards until the
time OF the Conquest when they were
compelled to follow the example OF
the smooth-faced Normans From
the time OF Edward III. to that OF
Charles /. boards were universally
worn. In the reign OF Charles H. the
mustache and side whiskers only were
worn. Soon after this the practice OF
shaving in some fashion became ge'
eral throughout Europe.

WntercreaS.

The watercress is a plant containing
medicinal qualities, A curious char
acteristic of it is that If grown in a
ferruginous stream, it absorbs into
itself five times the amount of iron
that any other plant does, For all
anHmic constitution, it is therefore
specially OF value. But it also con-
tains proportions Of garlic and sui
phuE of iodine and phosphates and
is blood purifier, while abroad it is
thought most wholesome condiment
with meat roast or grilled. The Gull
tivated plant is rather more easy OF
digestion than the wild one.

why the Irish Like Green,

A well-known writer for one OF the
standard publications OF the United
States in summing up the Irishmen's
legends, tastes, fads, ETC., has this to
say in regard to their preference for
green. The early Celts worshipped
the dawn and the sunrise. 1t is more
than probable, therefore that their
liking for the color green, which we
see in their flags sashes ETC., arose
from a mistake among those who had
lost a thorough knowledge Of the Irish
language. The sun, in Celtic, is
called by word pronounced exactly
like our word green, and it is like
ly that the Irish fondness for that
color arose through the striking SINH
larity of the two words. In the same
