Treatment OF Indian Ra,.h.

The rajahs of India, of whom there
are over 100, are classed in divisions.
each of which is entitled to a compli-
mentary salute of certain number of
guns, ranging from 9 to 10 per raiah.
The greatest punishment the govern
ment of India can infict on native
prince short of deposing him is to dock
him gun or two on his salute. On the
other hand, couple of guns extra is a
promotion as much priced as a step in
rank bestowed on the field of battle.
Strange though it may seem, a raiah
need not necessarily be a high caste
man. Several Indian kingdoms are
ruled by princes of very inferior caste.

FIRST wHIRL WAS ENOUGH.
ne Took n Ride I'm an Automobile Hut
Hereafter VIII stick to
Horses.

"No more automobiles for me-" re-
marked the visitor from New York,
mopping his brow at the very re-
membrance of recent experience, re-
1ates the Detroit Free Press; hence
forth, or until those that deal in them
are willing to furnish an iron-clad
guarantee that the patron will re-
turn sound in nerve and body, 1 pre-
fer to be loyal to the good, old re-
liable horse. II the latter does take
- notion to run away once in. awhile
he has a speed and time limit-the
runaway automobile doesn't know
when to stop.
"For some time my wife has been
trying to induce me to adopt the new
est style of street transportation. In
New York city, you know, we have
some very fashionable auto turnouts,
and they serve various purposes. The
city authorities are even thinking of
using them as street-sweepers. My
better-halt harped on the matter so
persistently that / finally consented
to give one = trial, and I engaged a
brougham to take us TO a swell re-
~ception. The 'doings' were only a few
blocks from where we live, but It was
not without some trepidation that I
entered the horseless vehicle. We
started of at a nice sober gait, which
soon increased to q wind-splittin0
speed that quite took my breath away.
As we whirled along through the
crowded street, cutting off trolley
cars and other rapidly moving vehi-
Giles, my wife's face suddenly assumed
a concerned look.
"Why, do believe said she, that
the man has forgotten the place. I'm
sure we must have passed it,

glance of n familiar corner, quite a
distance beyond our destination.
'I stuck my head out of the win
dow and hailed the cabby. He seemed
to be very busy at the moment, and
it was difficult to attract his atten-
ton. I then gave my lungs full play
and managed to get his ear.
"We've passed that address long
ago. shouted.
~ know it, he replied; I've for
gotten how to stop the blamed thing
Then for heavens sake, man. I
cried, steer up on back street, or
get out into the country, out of dan
GER
Luckily, he was skillful helms
man, and he managed to guide the
auto out to little park, which is not
frequented very much at this time of
year. Well, sir. guess we must have
circled that park hundred times be-
fore the power ran out. There was
nothing else to do. Il was hard
enough to overtake us In the first
place, and the person that did under
stand the method of stopping the oar
riage couldn't have gotten aboard. 1t
soon became noised abroad that there
was q runaway automobile in the
park, and we were pursued by horde
OF policemen, small boys and dogs.
The experience torcibly reminded me
of John Gilpin's famous ride. 1t was
IL o'clock midnight when the blamed
thing finally came to a standstill. The
cabby said there would be no etxra
charge, and my wife and I were sat
listed to take street car home. She
has never mentioned automobile since
and we are now going TO receptions
behind horse"
