the law. They are abrupt, suspicious
and lax in morals. They quarrel with
great frequency and make all sorts of
unusual trades. Now and then they
sell or exchange wives. For wives are
regarded there as conveniences, and
| every spring large numbers of Hun
garian girls are brought over and
quickly taken for wives by the men.
These girls do not always stick to their
promises to marry the first men they
meet. And this is the cause of most of
the litigation before Judge" Slaine.
The Judge" has no regular court
room. When a complainant seeks his
advice he blunders right into the
Judges" banking house and begins the
recital of his-or her, for there are
many quarrels among the women-bill
of complaint. The Judge" hears both
sides, talks peace, and in the majority
of cases persuades them to drop the
matter. One case he had was that of
a man who had exchanged wives with
another man, with q pair of boots as
boot" The exchange was made, but
the boots were not forthcoming. An
other case was that of Slav whose
sweetheart had Tilted him after he had
got a marriage license. He wanted to
have her put in prison until she paid
him 5000. The Judge" talked him into
a good humor, and now the young man
is married to another girl.
my reason for taking up this busi-
ness-from which get no financial re-
turns-was to keep my fellow-country-
men out of the hands of lawyers and
magistrates, who too often encourage
instead of discourage litigation. have

and court fees and have prevented many

ernor Sayers will turn over $4,000 cash
to the relief committee for the mainland

state treasury to aid Galveston and coast
sufferers generally and to petition the
legislature to indorse this action of the
governor if he takes it.

three weeks, during which time the ma
tional anxiety was extreme. At last
he emerged victorious from the track

Ayoob Khan, and inflicted on that pre-

On the return of Roberts to England
he was loaded with honors; he was
presented with the freedom of the city
of Lopdon, received the thanks of par
Lament, and was created baronet.
In February, 1881, he was appointed
to succeed Sir George Colley in the
command of the troops in Natal and
the Transvaal, but peace was concluded
with the Beers before his arrival in the
colony. He was afterward appointed a
member of the council of Madras. and

in December, 1899, to command British

to the appointment of Lord Roberts as
commander in chief, hints that Lord
Kitchener will come home to assist
him at his new post. Lord Wolseley,
