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

what the White Men Charged Them
For Killing One Donkey.
In "Reminiscences of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story is told Of the good
faith and honor Of a party Of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot a donkey, MISLEADING the
creature for a wild animal. They sold
the hide. and 1t finally came to the
hands of John Barnes ln 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 lie saw the skim he turned 1t
over and said: "Ha, ha, me kill him!
Me shoot him! SeeP' And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed donkey. very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done
1t by mistake, believing 1t to be a wild
animal
The Indians listened nttentively 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 fiRd him
in cane. We think him wild. We
sorry; now we pay. We take no white
mans hoss. 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 1t
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaws 30 ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don

LIBEL IN ENGLAND.
Not Hard There to Give Cause Ser
Actions nt Law.

Actions nt Law.
England's libel law is a terror to the
defendants. A short time ago a young
playwright sold a piece to n London
manager and drew a small royalty
each week, which was paid by check.
One week when the playwright pre-
sented the check to the bank for ash
ing 1t was returned to him marked
mo funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung conspicuously
In his study He took pleasure In
pointing II 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 10 England the railway com.
panies. or at least one OF them. put up
10 the station placards bearing the
names Of passengers who had violated
rules of the road, with addresses, the
nature Of the offense and 6nes impos-
ed. The offenders took the matter into
court, and now the placards show only
the words opposite the ofrense, "a
passenger"
1t frequently happens that names
given to villains and ridiculous charac-
ters In 0ctlon will duplicate in real life
A certain English novel had Its scene
laid on the west coast Of Africa, and
the villain of the book was q 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 he5rd Of the plaintiff.
A verdict for the latter was given,
with substantial damages.
a Birmingham lawyer held that one
could libel a man effectually enough
by leaving out his name. He brought
an action against a local paper for
perslstently omltting his name from
Its reports Of cases in which he pro-
fesslonally was engaged. Presumably
he imagined that the loss of the ad-
vertlsement he would have obtained
by his name repeatedly appearing was
damage enough. He was nonsulted,
however.

Postal Savings Bank Again.

During the present session of con gross it is more than likely that an effort will be made to secure legisla- tion looking toward the adoption of the postal savings bank system 'a the United States.
 The arguments which the friends of this proposed measure make io it's behalf are worthy of consideration In the first place. it is claimed .hat the system will inspire confidenc" on the part of small depositors, since it will have back of it the resources of the fedral government. and that on account of the absolute security which it offers it will prove an incen- tive to thrift. In the second place. maintained without any very great expense to the government. since it is only necessary to provide for an extension in each Dostoffice. If the system is put into effect. it will relieve in large measure the pres sure which is now brought to bear upon the money order department of the government and that which will be saved in this direction will larbe saved in this direction will contribute largely toward defraying the expenses of the system proposed.
 Most of the EuroDeon countries results; and if it works satisfactorily abroad. there seems to be no reason why II should not be put on trial at home.

B. F. Hoyt, the railroad agent al Globe was held up by two men at o'clock Monday evening, just after he left the depot for town to deposit the days receipets. Hoyt stopped at a building seventy-fve yards from the track, when two men who had evi- dently been watching him, followed and oyerpowered him there. He was struck on the head with a rock, the money taken from him and the rob bers decamped, going west into the foot hills of the Pinal mountains. Hoyt, in dazed condition, followed them 10 the top of the hill or the west side of town, and after seeing the di- rection taken by the robbers, he re- turned to the depot Twenty-Five dollars dropped in the scuffie was found. The amount taken by the robbers is not known, but probably is not over two or three hundred dollars. Sheriff Thompson and deputies are in pursuit and as the night is clear and bright the chance of capture is good.

 There is nothing else to live on or by.
 When strength is full and spirits high, we are being re. freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con- tinual flow of rich blood.
 This is health.
 When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved our blood Is poor; there is little nutri- ment in 1t.
