Great Britain rules give great deal Of
trouble. notably the Mahsuds, though Il is
pleasing to learn from a recent Bombay
telegram that they are at last being brought
TO something like order and are paying the
fine lately imposed upon them as well as
agreeing TO cease their raids.
The Mahsuds however. are not by any
means the worst OF the Indian robber tribes.

TO the Bhils, who are the cleverest scoun-
drels in the world both in their methods
of acquiring other peoples property and in
evading pursuit. They are very fond OF
their skill in pilfering and openly boast OF
II. one Of them once told a British officer
that he could steal the blanket from under
him and was promptly challenged to show
his ability.
That night when the officer was fast
asleep, the Bhi robber cut hole in his
tent. crept noiseessly in and gently tickled
the hands and feet OF the sleeping man.
The officer stirred uneasly and turned over.
| In this way the Bhil was able to pull the
blanket out little way. ny repeating this
performance he finally succeeded in coax
ing" the blanket completely from under the
