MISERY o. a cAMEL RIDE.
Sore Bones and Fall the Fate which
Usually BefaIis n Novice.


There is something inexpressibly re-
polling in the supercillium triste Of q
camel as he looks scornfully at you
with his nose in the air, says a writer
in the London Spectator. But over
came my repugnance and mounted one,
after receiving careful instructions how
to retain my seat while the brute was
getting up. 1t was well enough while
he walked, but when he began to trot
. brisk pace devoutly wished myself
astride on a humber animal. But how
was to stop him? There was no bril-
die, only a rope attached to the left side
OF the brute's mouth. At that rope /
tugged, with the effect merely of max
ing my camel trot to the left. I had
been told that II / wished to make him
go to the right must hit him on the
left side of the head with n very short
stick, with which ] had been provided
for the purpose. But that was more
easily said than done. How was /,
from my giddy perch. to reach the
creatures head across that long stretch
of neck? ! tried it and nearly lost my
balance for my pains-no joke at a
height of some ten feet above the peb-
bly, sand. One of the officers, however,
saw my plight, stopped, uttered some
gurgling sound, and then the camel,
exposing its teeth and protesting vigor-
ously, knelt down, and dismounted,
yowing that never again would l
choose that mode of locomotion. My
deliverer, who exchanged his donkey
for my camel. laughed heartily at my
discontinue. But had my revenge
speedily, for in the exuberance of his
gayety he allowed the camel to rise un-
expectedly and was pitched head over
heels on the ground. He was not hurt
and he joined in the laugh against him
self as heartily as he had laughed at

The bill introduced in the
Texas Legislature legalizing
lynching is such an outrageous
proposition that it can scarcely
be credited. 1t grants immunity
to homicides where the crime
they perpetrate OCCURS before
their victims have completed
their offense. In such extreme
cases as that of the negro who
was tortured to death at Paris
the offenders may be legally
killed by a mob within sixty days
after the misdeed. The bill pro-
vides, of course, for holding per
sons accountable where it is
established that the victims of
the mob are innocent, but this
feature would prove entirely
nugatory. This attempt to
logalize popular brutality is a
striking reflection upon Texas
civilization.

Major Carl Brandt, for many
years editor of the Belleville

newspaper in Southern Illinois.
died several years ago, leaving a
will, one paragraph of which di
rected that his heart should be
sent to his wife in Germany. He
was married in the Fatherland
when a young man, but became
estranged from his wife and
came to this country. He often
said, however, that his heart was
still true to her and that he would
return it to her after death. The
heart was taken out and is now
being prepared for shipment.
