A TRUE AMERICAN.

Judge Jas. E. Boyd, the recently
appointed Judge of the Western Fede-
raj Court Of North Carolina, is prov.
ing to be ''real interpreter" of the
law. Judge Boyd will be remem Dered
as the able Assistant Attorney Gener-
al OF the United States under the pres
ent administration. He was appointed
Judge in August to succeed The late
Judge Dick. Judge Boyd has been a
conspicuous figure in North Carolina
politics since the days of reconstruc.
tiCn and has beeo a steadfast friend of
right and incidentally has proven
true friend to the Negro race. The
cases against certain registrars of North
Carolina who refused to allow the Ne
gro to register in certain precincts and
wards, were called under Judge Boyd
In Greensboro in October. His charge
to the jury in the case was nationally
discussed. Recently CASES of the same
nature were called il Charlotte, North
Carolina, and Judge Boyd took coca
9lon to reprimand those who would
diregard the laws of the land. Among
other interesting things Judge Boyd
made the following declaration:

uIated parliamentary bodies the privi'

Wife Who COuiln't Rouse Husband
louuht Fire In His stead.
Elnatlian Gates, of HENLEY, belonged
to the bucket brigade. lie was a use
full lirc.iighter, but was apt to be late
on the scene Of action: for fires occur
oftcncst ut night. and he had the mis-.
fortune to be one Of those heavy sleep
ers whom little short OF an earthquake
can arouse.
one night the alarm sounded close
by. and Huldah, his wife, saw that the
house of their ncXt-doOr nelghbOr. Il
widow with several young children.
was abluze.
Her efforts to rouse Elnathan pro-
duccd nothing more satisfactory than u
wrlggle and II snort, and leaving her
eldest boy to complete the task, she
flung on gown and slippers and ran
downstairs, SELLING II leather iirc-bucket
on the way. In another moment she
was hard ut work helping the widow
fight the flames.
But the interesting cOmmOtlOn with
out was too much for little Johnny
Gates. An Intellectual shove or so. ana
he resigned his task to Bob, his junior,
and was Off to help. The aggrieved Bob
had no mind to be left; he flung Il drip.
ping towel ut his slumbering parents
face, which 1t missed. ana promptly
bolted also.
Huldah Gates, who was strong, cool.
headed, courageous woman, did good
work that night, ana when the fire was
ont the leader of the bucket brigade
told her so, ana inquired what had be-
come of her husband. She had been
too busy to miss him, but u few words
made the situation clear. There was a
great laugh, ana then the chief said to
her:
well, Mrs. Gates, you let me have
that scorched bucket of yours for re,
pairs, and I'll undertake to say you can
| wake Elnathan next tlme.'
lie took the bucket. When 1t was re-
turned 1t no longer bore the wOnted In,
itals, Il. g., but instead was boldly in
scribed in gllstening new paint IL. c.
for IIulduh Gates. Elnathan proved
man enough to declare that he could
appreciate u compliment to his wife
even ut his own expense, and he would
not allow the inscription to be changed
lie never was late again; heavy as h,
might be with slumber. the wore
"Fire" brought him to his feet before
his eyes were open.
Two of the old Gates tire-buckets ar,
| still preserved, one duly marked II. q.
with ornamental "curlcues;" but tn,
other is especially cherished by her de
scendants as "IIuldys bucket."-

MExiCO'S STONE IDOLS.
Found Only In Remains of Cities lie.
stroyed Centuries Aro.

stroyed Centuries Ago.
These idols are of very distinct types
each locality having its own character
isric forms. The material naturally
varies with the class of stone found IL,
.hc vicinity: some are of granite. some
of marble. and the largest number are
of volcanic rock, some of hard lava. and
others. including the largest, of IL.
soft tufa which Is found so extensively
in the volcanic regions. and is most cas-.
lily worked. One small idol. In human
form, Is of material so light that 1t will
float on the surface of water. They
vary greatly in size, the largest being
over five feet in height, while the small.
or ones do not exceed a fingers length.
The great majority are crude reprcscn.
tations of human figures, but there are
also images of quadrupeds of various
kinds. ana also of birds. The largest
specimen of this ancient sculpture Is
Cochitl," in which the animals are eacll
six feet long and surrounded by an ab.
sOlutely circular wall, like some of the
Druidical remains In England: but they
are carved from the solid rock, and
while Il most important and interesting
relic of ancient fetish worship In con.
ncction with the chase, yet they are i'm.
movable and cannot be classed among
household goods.
AS previously suggested. none of
these idols ure ever found I'm the ruins
of the large number Of Pueblo towns
destroyed or deserted about the time
Of the revolution of 1850. and which are
those most accessible and usually Wis.
tied. They only exist In the ruins of
cities destroyed centuries ago, while
the aboriginal religion was universal
and before any destruction or hiding
of idols had occurred rs consequence
Of the introduction of Christianity. Ii
Is possible. therefore. says q writer In
I.cslics Weekly, with certainty to fix
the age of every such stone idol ut not
less than 800 years. and many of them
are. no doubt. very much older. Their
varied types not only represent differ
cnt localities. but different phases of
advance In art In the same locality. No
more interesting relies of the ancient
civilization of America have ever been
discovered within the limits of the Uni!
ted States.

The old question of the value of n
physicians services is up again in
Pittsburg. There the heirs of million.
aires seem to go on the plan that what
ever the value of live man, II dead
one Is worth only what his doctor can
extract by the aid of the law. The
fight over the late Chris Magee's doc
tor bill was famous. Now another ply.
stefan is in court trying to collect So
243.2J from the estate of Il man who
was Il Carnegie Steel Company partner.
The doctor wants S25 for each visit,
and his patient had S6,OOOOOO. The
physician swcars that he kept the brain
and body of the rich man going for one
year. and that I'm those twelve months
he added an even one million dollars
to his fortune. If that Is true the doc
tors bill Is trihing. There are good
many men who would part with for
tunes for month. or even week. Of
life and health and business activity.
To-day one Ncw-Yorker will pay ST.
OO0.UUO for the restoration of his eye

Only let the blessed sunshine flow into
the windows now closed. and the
money will be ready. Nobody can real.
~ put just price on health or life. not
even the individual who only real
ICES how precious both are when
he sees them slipping from him.

have doctors pay them regularly. and
will 80 long as there is no occasion for
a physicians services. When Mr.. Chi.

no salary till his patient Is wHl again
