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

In "Reminiscences of Old Times In
faith and honor of a party of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot n donkey, installing the
creature for a wild animal. They sold
the hide, and il 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 a shooting match, the prize to be
the skin of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one of them won the prize
When he saw the skin, he turned it
over and said: "Ha, Ia, me kill him.
Me shoot him! Sec And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed n donkey, very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done
1t 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 Il 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
in 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 Cbickasaws 30 ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don
key.

Your Canary.

Don't forget to give your canary the
best of water and seed every day. See
that he has a good fish bone. Clean
his cage every day. Keep him out of
the hot sun and the glare of night
lights and yet let him have sunshine.
Talk to him; talk to him with a kind
voice. Let him out of the cage occa-
sionally. We give crumbs of bread
soaked in milk, lettuce, chickweed. a
little piece of egg, sometimes a little
fruit, nut and lots of good things and
let him eat or reject as he pleases.
Remember he is a prisoner in con-
finement, dependent on you every day
for health and life, and constantly
strive to make him happy. A little 10
cent looking glass will add greatly to
his happiness. Take care that neither
sun nor other light reflected shall daz-

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

England's libel law is a terror TO the
defendants. a short time ago IA young
playwright sold piece to a London
manager and drew small royalty
each week, which was paid by check.
One week when the playwright pre-
scented the check to the bank for cash
ing it was returned to him marked
mo funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung conspicuously
in his study. He took pleasure in
pointing it out to visitors and making
biting comments until one day the
managers lawyer called and told the
young man that he was committing
a serious libel on the manager, where
upon the check was taken down at
once.
Over in England the railway COM
panies. or at 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.
A certain English novel had its sceue
laid on the west coast of Africa, and
the villain of the book was major
in the army, supposed to be stationed
there. To the novelists dismay there
appeared one day out Of the unknown
a real major, bearing the name of the
villain of the novel, who also had been
stationed on the west coast of Africa.
In vain the unhappy author protested
in the consequent action that he had
never seen or heard Of the plaintiff.
A verdict for the latter was given,
with substantial damages.
\ Birmingham lawyer held that one
could libel n man effectually enough
by leaving out his name. He brought
an action against a local paper for
persistently emitting his name from
its reports Of cases in which he pro-
fessionally was engaged. Presumably
he imagined that the loss of the ad-
vertisement he would have obtained
by his name repeatedly appearing was
damage enough He was nonsuited,
however.
