Indian Cosrt.
Justice Il the end Of government,
and every nation has its own peculiar
method by which this end Is achieved.
In .'Our Future Highway to India" an
interesting trial II described There
had been . riot and one man had been
hurt The ringleaders IA the hot were
now put on trial, and . curious sight il
was.
The cadi and council were seated
round . table. An officer called the
"kaimacann had conducted rs to tho
place where the trial was going on.
and the party was accommodated on
divan. The prisoners were brought In
under strong guard, the wounded man
and the doctor being at the other end
of our divan. The whole place WAS
crowded with witnesses and specta-
tors
A more peculiar trial was never seen,
every one gesticulating. shouting and
yelling. The prisoners abused kama
can, cadi, court and everything else.
and were abused in turn. The noise
went on increasing till it seemed ~ II
the roof was about to fly of.
Suddenly there would come lu1l and
every one, prisoners, guards and all.
would commence smoking cigarettes.
The ringleader in the riot coolly took
Q light from one of the members
Of the court. After a pause, and with
their lungs refreshed by the soothing
fumes of tobacco, they would all again
burst forth in chorus, and the noise
would be worse than before.
/ know not how the clerk to the
court managed to keep his notes Of the
evidence, but perhaps he was accus-
toned to such scenes, and managed to
take down a fair description Of what
had occurred.
Though there was fresh blood on
their clothes, and some long hairs wero
sticking to the sword Of the one who
had actually struck the blow, the pris-
oners swore they were innocent Luck.
lily the case did not rest on frnil tes-
timony, as an officer had been present
and seen the man cut down. So far
everything went to convict the Gull
prits, but the question of provocation
given and received had to be debat-
ed before the punishment could be
awarded

Woaaerful Instinct Of the Tiger HUht.
ers Of India.
The yankee nation" takes great
credit to itself for its ingenuity, but q
wider acquaintance with the world
would probably lessen its pretensions.
Wild animals and uncivilized men
all creatures, in short, who live by
their wits-have almost of necessity
the quality of shrewdness highly de-
veloped, at least in certain directions.
Capt Lugard, the African traveller,
quotes his brother as expressing the
highest admiration for 1.-The wonder
full instinct of the jungle tribe Of
Gonds, in India, with whom he had
practiced tiger shooting.
IF you dropped Gond from a bal
loon in ethe heart OF forest unknown
to him. and then suddenly went for.

the identical path that tiger would
adopt, and it would be found to be the
shortest possible way out Of the jun
gle"
Capt. Lugard bears q similar testi-
mony to the ready wit of the Swahilis,
natives of east Africa. he had occa-
sion to build fort with all speed, and
for that purpose he needed poles. They
were difficult to procure. but as he re-
marks: 1.-THE Swahili is wonderful
fellow when pressed, for making
bricks without straw"
Not tree was in sight, and there
were only a dozen axes for two hun
dred and fifty men; but he sent all
hands out after timber. Each man was
to bring log, or two men might bring
one log, if it was exceptionally large,
and only after that was done were
they to be at liberty to collect their
own food for the day. And the logs
were brought. In Capt. Lugard's
words:
Tell Swahili he has TO produce a
pole before he can eat his dinner, and
though you cannot see tree on the
horizon, he will arrive with pole be-
fore you have decided in your mind
which is the best direction in which to
start your search"

ORIGIN OF DEATH VALLEY.
An Indian Lasssd Regarding . Qusea q
Beautiful a. Cleopatra.

An Indian Lagend Regarding . Queen -
Beautiful a. Cleopatra.
The Indian legend regarding tho
origin of Death valley, in Mayo county,
California, is an interesting one.
From the outer edge of this vast
furnace-it is three hundred miles
square and one hundred feet below sea
level-onermay see far off, tremulous
through the shimmering waves of
heat, sort Of butte that has the form
of ruined castle. The story goes
that in the old days, before the Amar-
gosa river ceased to water the valleys,
the place was the site of powerful
city ruled by princess as beautiful as
Cleopatra and as imperious as Eliza
beth. An ambassador to the reigning
Aztec monarch described to her on his
return the glories of the kings palace
in the City of Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magnificence
of her neighbor she began the erection
of a vast building. All the laborers
and artisans of the city were employed
and the work was pushed night and
day. for within twelve months the
Aztec ruler was to be her guest, and
she wished to welcome him to a pal
nee as splendid as his own. She ex-
hausted the resources of her realm,
men went mad with toll and hunger,
and at last the high priest protested.
He was ordered to execution, and, dy-
ing, cursed the city for the princess
sake. That night the earth shook and
sank, the river dried up and the
morning sun poured down hsod Of
heat. All persisted, and now tho ruined
walls of the palace alone remain.
The Amargosa, by the way, n .
most erratic stream. 1t flows south
ninety miles from it's fountain head in
the western Sierras, vanishes at Rest
ing Spring mountain, is in evidence
again for fifty miles, disappears for .
space, then hobs up and runs along tur-
for one hundred miles. All
trace Of it is lost at Death valley.

Once Enough.

The young man had borrowed $40 from

back one week from date. The million.
aire let him have it, and promptly on
time the borrower brought it back.
''Now, Mr.. Bullion" said the young
man, 1--WE been square with You in Ill ;
matter, and I want to borrow $50 for two
weeks"
The old man shook his head.
Sorry he said, but can't let you
have it,
''Why not?" And the young man was
greatly astonished.
Because you have disappointed me,
and I don't want to be disappointed
again"
The borrower was more surprised than
ever.
''What do you mean by being disap
pointed?'' he asked.
''This," explained the money man: 81
let you have that $40 not expecting ever
to get it again, and did. Now, if let
you have $50, would expect to get it
again, and 1 never would. No, sir" he
added conclusively; zone disappointment
is enough. Good day" And that ended
it.-Detroit Free Press.

Judge Hazen Decides Foreclosure Case of

The district court jury has decided the

In this case in which some North
Topeka property was in question, the
suit was first brought in the circuit
court but after Mr.. Troutman had sue
ceeded in delaying the case by a mum Der
of motions and demurrers, Attorney
Welch, who had Mrs. Shipley's side of
the case, paid up all the costs and took
the case to the district court.
One or two continuances we're secured
in the district court when Mr.. Welch
suggested that the case be submitted for
the decision of the court on the argu-
ment Judge Hazen took it under ad-
visement for a week and at the end of the
week refused 10 decide it on the facts SUBJ
mitted and said it must be tried by a
jury. 1t has now been tried before a
jury and much to the chagrin of the at
torney who paid the costs in the circuit
court the decision is against him.
