LIBEL IN ENGLAND.
Not Hard There to Give Cause For
Actions Mt Law.

EngIand's libel law is n terror to the
defendants. A short time ago n young
playwright sold 4 piece to London
manager and drew Il small royalty
each week. which was paid by check.
One week when the playwright pre-
scented the check to the bank for cash
ing 1t was returned to him marked
NO funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung conspicuously
in his study. He took pleasure in
pointing il out to visitors and making
biting comments until one day the
managers lawyer called and told the
young man that he was committing
serious libel on the manager, where
upon the check was taken down at
once.
Over i'm England the railway com
panies, or ut least one of them, put up
in the station placards bearing the
names of passengers who had violated
rules of the road, with addresses, the
nature of the offense and fines impos-
ed. The offenders took the matter into
court. and now the placards show only
the words opposite the offense, "A
passenger"
1t frequently happens that names
given to villains and ridiculous charac-
tiers in fiction will duplicate in real life
y certain English novel had its scene
laid on the west coast of Africa, and
the villain of the book was n major
in the army. supposed to be stationed
there. To the novelist's dismay there

villain of the novel, who also had been
stationed on the west coast of Africa.

\ Birmingham lawyer held that one

an action against n local paper for

vcrtisement he would have obtained

RAIN is AGAIN NEEDED,
Vegetation Begins TO Suffer Considerably
Over the State

Over the State
The Illinois crop bulletin says of
the past week:
Though cool weather prevailed at
the beginning and at the end of the
week. the middle of the week was
warm. The light frosts at the end of
the previous week caused but little
damage. Dry weather still continues
over large part of the state and
| vegetation has begun to suffer as a
result. Good local showers fell Satur-
day at many places, especially in the
central aud southern districts, and
these revived vegetation greatly.
The week has been favorable for farm
work and it has been pushed rapidly.
The ground is generally in a fair TO
good condition for working, but in
some places it is hard and cloddy.
Corn planting continues to be
the principal farm work. 1t is
rapidly nearing completion. howe yer.
and in some localities it is completed.
Most of the early planted corn is up
and doing well, and some of it is al
ready being cultivated. The dry
weather is causing seed to terminate
1
on account of bad.seed. In many To-
calities cut worms are said to be very
bad. Oats have suffered considera bly,
on account of dry weather. In many
localities they are looking yellow and
thin. A few fields are being plowed
under and planted to corn. In many
localities. however, the crop is very
promising. Wheat is generally doing
well, but there is increased apprehen-
sion of damage from Hessian lily aud
chinch bug. The dry weather appears
to have been favorable for these pests.
There is great diversity of opinion
regarding the condition of the hay
crop. In a few localities it is
believed this crop will be very large,
while in others it is believed to be
almost n failure. The average con-
dition has, however, deteriorated con-
siderably on account of dry weather.
Potatoes and gardens appear to have
suffered least by dry weather, thong h
there has been some damage. Early
potatoes are being cultivated. In
some localities preparations for plant
ing broom corn and stock peas are in
progress. While the condition of
fruit continues generally very favor
able, the reports from some locali-
ties are decidedly unfavorable. Much
fruit is dropping in some localities
and worms and insects are doing con-
siderable damage. Apples are being
injured more than other fruits"

THE INDIANS PAID.
What the White Men Charged Them
For Killing One Donkey.

In "Reminiscences of Old Times In
Tennessee" story is told of the good
faith and honor of n party of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot donkey, installing the
creature for wild animal. They sold
the hide. and it finally came to the
hands OF John Barnes in Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall. Barnes invited them
to n shooting match. the prize to be
the skin of 4 very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one of them won the prize.
When he say the skin, he turned it
over and said: "Ha. Ia, me kill him.
Me shoot him! Seer' And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed 4 donkey, Il very useful animal.
but he was sure that they had done
It by mistake. believing it to be a wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
suited together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony. unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where gang of white men
stood, Barnes in the midst of them.
Then one of the Indians spoke:
1--WE sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
i'm cane. We think him wild. We
sorry; now we pay. We take no white
mans boss, pony, nothing of white
man. We honest. We have ponies,
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
toned to the long line of ponies, held
by their owners.
How many?" asked Barnes.
white man say" returned the In
dian. take plenty"
The honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be it
recorded to their shame. they took
from the Chickasaws So ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don
