A colored gentlemen is reputed
to have made the declaration in
a speech during the campaign
just closed. 1t was at the climax
when he eloquently said: "My
brethren, | am informed, that a
Democrat has recently joined our
ranks, that he is leading figure in
our camp, and when he touches
the button things go, ! warn you
fellow citizens to quarenteen
against him." Even the colored
brethren have no abiding place for
our wanderers. Come home boys.

Beware.

Democrats beware of kicking
against your party nominees:
When your party speaks it is
yours to obey. An individual
choice is one thing and the choice
of the party is entirely another.
The party named her nominees
and individual democrats by that
action were pledged. No man
should arrogate to himself powers
greater than that of an individual
democrat.

YUKON INDIANS.
The Barbaric Manner In Which They
Used to Treat Female Infants.

There were formerly many curious traits
of character and queer customs that pre-
vailed among the tribes inhabiting the up
per Yukon country Perhaps the most
barbaric of all was in the treatment of the
female infants. just after the child Is
born she is intrusted to some OF the oppo-
site sex of advanced age, who has selected
her for his future wife. During the time
before arriving at that age when she be-
comes wife her male guardian, for such
he now is, has TO contribute certain por-
ton of his spells of the chase to her sup
port If before she arrives at that age she
displeases her lord, or he tires or support
ing her, she is given no more 1000 ana Is
starved to death. Should a female be born
and no man wants TO provide for her ana
claim her as his future wife, then she Is
not allowed to live. All the male infants
are, however, brought up, as they Will
make good hunters Consequently 1t Is
estimated that for every female there are
100 males.
Curious as it may seem, the two sexes

A grw of His Peculiar Ways of Trans

There is little in the animal kin sdom
that can look so dead and be so much alive
as crocodile. The number of unsuspect-
ing persons who have mistaken him for a
log and have failed to discover their mis-
take until IL was too late to be of any bene-
fit TO them will never be known.
In ancient times, several years prior to
the British occupation of Egypt, some of
the people of that country worshiped the
crocodile as a god, there being nothing else
like him. They fed him on dainties and
logged him out with jewelry. In other
parts of Egypt, however, the natives looked
upon him as devil. Hayingno firearms,
they did not fill him with lead, but they
managed to immediate him successfully
with such weapons as were fashionable at
the time.
The crocodile is not so numerous in the
Nile as he was in the days of the Rameses
family. In fact, he rather shuns the
river now below the second cataract on ac-
count of the annoyances inseparable from
tourist traffic. 1t seems impossible for a
tourist to see a crocodile without trying to
plug him with revolver, and to reptile
that is fond of a quiet life this sort OF
thing is simply insuflerable. He will not
