"A Cam els Vengeance.

Camels have a great share of intelIi.
gence, and the Arabs assert hat the,
are so extremely. sensible of injustice
and ~ill-treatment that, when this is car
ried too far, the inf.cter will not find
it easy to escape their vengeance, and
that they will retain the remembranr Z,
of an injury till an opportunity offers
for gratifying their revenge. Eager.
however, to express their resentment,
they no longer retain any rancor when
once they are satisfied; and it is even
sufficient FOR them to believe they have
satisfied their %veneance. Accordingly.
when an Arab has excited the rage of
a camel, he throws down his garments
in some place nea which the animal
is to pass, and disposes them in such a
manner that they appear to cover a
man sleeping under them. The animal
recognizes the clothes, seizes them in
his teeth, shakes them with violence,
and tramples on them in a rage. When
his anger is appeased he leaves them,
and then the owner of the garments
may make his appearance, and without
any fear may load and guide him as he
p~leases.

MISS LOUISE WHITE.

without any companion and, except for
the lawyers and counsel she had en-
ployed from time to time, she has de-
pended entirely upon her own
Miss White is both
young and attractive. Her broth
ers in this country are en-
gagged in the piano manufac-
turing business. The family is
wealthy and Miss White has had
the benefits which good education and
good breeding insure. Miss White has
just passed her thirty-second year.
She is intelligent, well bred and good
looking. She has spent several years
in travelling in Europe and has been
we'll received in many fashionable cir
cles. The greater part Of her present
trip abroad has been spent in Italy.
Miss White took up her residence in
Stockholm about three months ago.
AS a result of these years spent
abroad Miss White has become famil-
lar with both French and German,
which she speaks fuently. She has not
as yet, rather curiously, gained any ex-
tensive knowledge of the Swedish Ian
guage, and is at present busy in max
ing herself very familiar with her ma
tive tongue. She is, besides, deeply
interested in the various social, politi-
ca. and religious problems OF Sweden.
She is familiar with Swedish literature
and is constantly studying the condi-
tons Of the Swedish pea:ants.
Miss White claims to be the lineal
j descendant of the great and popular
king of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus.
1t is. of course, a matter of history that
the present king of Sweden, Oscar H.,
cannot claim this distinction. Tho reg
ular succession to the throne was brok-
en-, as all the world knows, in the year
1909. The present ruler of Sweden is
descended from the Bernadotte family,
which assembled the throne in the year
mentioned. The various papers and
documents which Miss White has col
! lected, and which she says will be put
In evidence at the proper time, establish
her relationship; it is claimed. to the
older rulers Of the country. The last

America contains a greater number
of titled people of various grades of
nobility than would be required to pop
ulate a good-sized monarchy.
The lineal descendants OF scores of
noble families of Europe have lost their
identity in our genuinely cosmopolitan
population. A bright American wom-
an has just commenced d remarkable
suit based upon a relationship of this
nature which seems to establish the
fact that she is the present rightful
Queen of Sweden. This remarkable
claimant Is Miss Louise White, whose
family is we'll known both in society
and in business in Indian Territory.
Miss White has been travelling abroad
for the past two years in search of evil
dence to be used in pressing her claim.
She is at present living in a suite OF
rooms in the Continental Hotel in
Stockholm. Her case is familiar to
holm, Major Ferguson, and has been
discussed in the Swedish newspapers.
In preparing her case Miss White
has accumulated an immense amount
of documentary evidence. The legal
papers, such as they are, have not yet
been made public, but the nature of the
proof which will be presented has al
ready been freely discussed. 1t may be
said that in such a claim as this. in
volving as it does such immense and
far-reaching issues, there is all the diff
ference in the world between a moral
and a legal claim to such a title. The
right of the present king of Sweden to
the throne has often been questioned.
The same condition of affairs exists to-
day in England and in practically
every monarchy in the world. The
first and basal claim Miss White has
made as to the illegality of the present
kings position is therefore by no
means new, and in this claim at least
she has many followers. 1t will occur
to every one that the difficulties of es-
tablishing such a claim are practically
insurmountable. Possession is, to be-
gin with, conceded to be nine-tenths of
the law. The king is, besides, a very
popular monarch and Miss White is
virtually a foreigner. The claim is,
however, none the less interesting on
this account, and if it is not recognized
at the present time it is not unlikely
to bear important fruit later in the his
tory of the country.
The plucky little American woman
is fighting her battle alone. During a
two years trip abroad she has travelled

row face the hair should be dressed
round, and it is always best to show
a coil or so from the side behind the
ears; also endeavor to fill I'D the name
of the neck as much as possible. For
a sharp-featured face always avoid
dressing the hair right at the ton of
the back of the crown in a line with
the nose, as this so accentuates the
severe outlines. Dress the hair low
down OF else quite on top to meet the
fringe. For a round face narrow dress
ings arc becoming, and can be taken
well down the neck. For a broad face
narrow dressings are preferable, but
should be kept somewhat high. Elk
ceedingly tall people should keep the
hair dressed rather low and decidedly
round. 1t is very rarely that we find
purely white hair; it is usually a grew

are so suitable as dark green's, browns,

spain's Horrifying Method of Executing
Condemned Murderers.

Condemned Murderers.
The garrote by which the anarchist
who killed the Spanish premier was
executed Is named after it's in
ventor, a Spanish ironworker. who wit
messed a hanging execution of a rela-
tive on the gallows, which was the
method employed by Spain up to
ABOUT thirty years ago for carrying out
the sentence of death. Garrote won
dered that a more expeditions and,
therefore, merciful, method had not
Geen discovered. He little thought
then that he would be the one to fur
nlsh his country with a substitute for
the gallows, but the thought haunted
MIN so long that he at length found
1t assuming ordered form in his mind,
ana IN time the ponderous death-deal-
ing machine that has immortalized
him in his country came to be a fact.
Inc TWO points Of excellence claimed
for the garrote are these: That 1t can
be made with reasonable care to kill
instantly n that it sheds not one
drop OF blood. Force that is measur-

employs and it's aim is the breaking of
the victims neck. The unfortunate is
nrst made to sit in a chair directly
under two heavy iron bars, one of
which is adjusted on the back of his
neck, and the other, vulgarly known as
the c~orbatin, or neck tie under his
chin. Then the eXecutioner grasps the
handle, gives a vigorous twist, and
death is instantaneous. The entire
machine is made of iron and ordin-
narily weighs several hundred pounds.
PERSONS who have witnessed all sorts
OF capital punishment are unanimous
IN the opinion that %garroting is the
most revolving and appalling of all. 1t
is not always as expeditions as its in
ventor made it possible to be. A VIC
ious executioner can prolong it prac-
tlcally at will, and herein is the sys-
TENS great drawback, as it is now
constituted. Cases are citable in which
the process was prolonged twenty,
sth1rty minutes, ever ~three-quarters of
an hour. The executiofer merely gave
twist enough to the handle or lever
to choke his victim. Then he turned
it back and twisted again, this time a
little more than at first, and so on until
his spite, having been satisfied. or his
instructions, perhaps, obeyed, he gave
final turn and ended the tortured
Life. Such was the execution of Ma.

occupy the throne of Sweden was King
Gustavus w, who ruled from 1872 to
1909. Gustavus began to occupy his
royal authority in 1896. His reign was
remarkable for the obstinacy with
which he chung to his own ideas, no
matter how they might conflict with
the obvious interests of his unit
His troubles commenced in 1903, when.
in order to vent a bitter spite against
Bonaparte, he tried to induce the Ger
mans to act with him in support OF the
Bourbons. This policy led directly TO
his downfall He soon quarreled OPEN
ly with France, and even when Russia
and Prussia offered to mediate etween
him and the French emperor. he re-
fused to come to terms. The conse-
quence was that he lost a large tract
of valuable territory. He next fought
with Russia and Denmark, and finally
picked a quarrel with England, which
had been his strongest ally. The Swed-
ish people were so enraged with his
policy that in 1909 he vas dethroned
and at the time the claims of his de-
scerdants to the crown were repudi-
ated. But the family has still many
followers in Sweden who remain loyal
to the ancient family. There are many
families of noblemen in Sweden at the
present time who boast of much long
er family trees than the king. In other
words, the king has not by any means

A wilder country than that was at

wretched United States posts called by

and the Apaches-the latter under the
famed Chief Cochise-made 1t unpleas-

tains and across the sterile mesas that
distinguish that land.
Every man in our party walked
with his rifle at his back and his pis-

on our blankets at night Il weapons
were within easy reach, and u pick

WHY Old Clocks Have Hi.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Not every one who looks at the dial
of a clock knows that the four rs which
arc in place of the usual " to desig-
nate the number 4 are there because
of the obstinacy of Charles V of France.
When Henry Wick carried to the king
the first accurate clock the king said
to him that the w was wrong and
should be changed to iii. Wick said:

There is a grain Of truth in the asser-
ton humorous!y put forth by a western
paper that Lying is expected in a poll
tlcian as much as in a circus man, a
hunter or a fisherman, and nobody
pays any more attention to it." The
writer had in view those who are de-
scribed by the word politician" in its
deprecatory sense. But in a republic
every man should be a politician, TAX
ing the word in its primary and best
meaning. No n would say in seri-
BUSINESS that every man should be I'M
truthful regarding his political acts and
purposes. Even a diplomatist should
not be a liar. One Of the greatest of
those said that he made it a rule al
ways to tell the truth, that, since no
one would believe him, it served the
purpose Of diplomacy better than
silence or evasion. Besides, he kept his
conscience clear.
