''You ought to own? Certainly

You asked, you will be pleased to

you told Mr.. Jones' dog that you loved

Jones' dog to have another ice cream

DWARFISH RACE IN SPAIN.

A MEDIEVAL MURDER.
The Prime Minister of Native Indian
State Slain.

state Slain.
The story of the murder of the
prime minister of the native statd
Ulwar, in Northwestern India, r(kSs+
more like tale from the cri nina asT Z
nails of some medieval Italian pr, y
pality than a record of the preseiot
day. The minister was murdered
while out riding by gang of assas-
sins. The inquiry ordered by the In
dian government has resulted not only
in the conviction of one of the princi-
pal military officers of the Ulwar state,
but in a declaration by the court
that the murder was executed by the
order of the late mallarajah of Ulwar.
1t appears that this parsonage, de-
string for sundry reasons to have the
minister 'removed," confided the task
to the officer commanding the Imperial
service troops-that is the force which
the Ulwar state undertakes to send
into the field should the Indian gov
eminent call for it's services This

including some of his own soldiers,

tho party patrolled the road, others,
as one of them who turned queens ev-
idence expressed it. fused their
swords"
They plead in defense that they were
Obliged to carry out the orders of the
maharajah in committing the act. The
court keld that such orders had been
given, but decided that they consti-
tutod no defense, and sentenced two
of the party to death and others to
various terms of penal servitude.
Adequately to appreciate this affa 7 it
should be remembered that Ulwar is
no wild hill state on the outer con-
fises of Indio, but an ancient princi-
pality in the heart of the country,
within short distance of Delhi. The
late mahar"iah had received an Eng
lish education. and Ulwar is in many
respects accounted an cxccllcntly adj
ministercd state.

His Daring Was Rewarded.

It is said that in Western theatre
recently, man suddenly rose in his
seat and complained to the audience
that, on account of the thing
worn on the head of the woman in
front of him, he was unable to see the
performance. And, as the story goes,
the mans daring was rewarded. The
woman rose in all her majesty, looked
at the man with an expression that
seemed to say, "Oh, wish I were Cor
bett, and swept out of the house in
great anger.
