fullness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
irregularities or globularities, as the

pakeha (white MANI who wants to be-

business and gets lots of goods and does
not pay for them. He then gets all the

puts all Of 1t except 60 away where no
one can find it. With the Go he goes to
a judge of the court and tells him he
wants to become pakarapu.
1.-THE judge then calls all the lawyers
together, likewise all the men to whom
the pakeha owes money, and he says,
This man is pakarapu, but he wishes
to give you all that he has got, and SO
he has asked me to divide this So among
you all. The judge thereupon gives tho
lawyers "a and the remaining 81 to the
other men. Then the pakeha goes

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining roast
pig. The Chinaman burned his house
to roast his pig. The amateur tore his
camera to pieces to get his picture. The
first hand camera was pasteboard box
containing one plate. A pinhole served
as lens and after the exposure of the
plate the box was taken to the dark
room, cut open, and the plate extracted.
This was rather expensive picture max
ing, and it was not long before maya
zine camera was invented, and sudden
" all the world began taking pictures.

A HARD RAILROAD TO BEAT

One Man In Double Distilled III Luck
Found It So.
The Southern Pacific is about the
worst road in the wide, wide world to
fool in the matter of transportation.
The Southern Pacific has such plain
monopoly of California business that it
is not necessary for it to look for favors,
SO it closes down very tight. Even the
tickets which the scalpers succeed IN
getting are so hedged about with pre-
cautions that it is like taking civil
service examination to beat one of them
The favorite is a long slip which is
designed to be punched to fit the de-
scription Of the purchaser, so that by
no means can it be used by another
than the rightful owner. When one Of
these tickets appears in soalper' 8 stock,
it looks like a porous plaster, being
punctured for the color Of the eyes, the
hair, stature, weight, complexion and
other details of the physical make up.
Once Jim Crawford Of Laramie found
himself stuck in San Francisco with 81
and fearful hunger for home. But 81
was as nothing to the fare back over
the desert. While he was worrying his
soul with regrets he came upon neatly
folded slip of paper which had been lost,
doubtless by some hurried tourist. 1t
was one of those pieces of organette mu-
sic representing a ride back to Ogden.
Jim read it over, printed matter,
punches and all, and rushed for drug
store He bought dyes for his hair,
stain for his complexion, got pair of
blue goggles and ran concealing band
age over his chin. A barber took off
his mustache, and for dollar cheap
oculist made his eyes blue, so that the
goggles were REINFORCED with corrobo-
ration It took all his money but 10
cents Then he climbed aboard the
train.
He had reached Port Costa when the
conductor came around and gave one
hurried look at the ticket.
"This thing expired month ago. =
he said tersely.
The telegraph poles were pendulous
with blue and birthstone for two weeks
after Crawford had finished his walk
back to Oakland. = Chicago Record.

A sHREwD LITTLE GIRL.
She Prompted the Question Which Saved

She Prompted the Question Which Saved
an Old Woman's Life.
Elizabeth Janfeld, afterward Lady Falk-
land was called an "odd child Some
times her father who was a judge, took
her with him to court On one of these
occasions woman was brought before
him on a charge of witchcraft 1t was
said that she had bewitched two or three
persons to death. The frightened creature
when asked If this were so, fell on her
knees, and, weeping. confessed that the
accusations against her were true.
Did you bewitch - to death?'' asked
the judge.
Yes, was her reply.
Did you come in the form of black
cat and breathe on him so that he Ian
guished away?"
81 did,
And then the grave judge heard whis-
per at his ear, and his little daughter-she
was only 10 years old-begged him to ask
the woman if she had bewitched John
Symondes to death.
The question was put and Immediately
answered in the affirmative. How had
she done itp Then she told one of her
former stories, at which all the company
laughed The reason of the merriment
was that John Symondes was the judges
! brother-in-law and at that moment was
standing near him In court The judge
then asked why she had made such a
statement
Alas, sir, knew him not" replied
the woman II said so because you asked
me- "
Are yoa no witch?"
mo: God knows I'm not
Nor did you ever see the devilP"
NO, never in all my life"
On further examination she said she had
been told that if she did not confess sine
would be tortured until she did, but that
If she admitted all the accusations mercy
would be shown her. She was thereupon
acquitted, and she owed her release and
probably her life to the shrewdness of a
little girl.-Youth' Companion.
