A CASE OF LAW.
The Decision That Was Rendered by
q BnsutO solomon.

The Decision That Was Rendered by
Bnsuto Solomon.
Law is a complicated thing, and
some Of its decisions seem not to be
founded in equity. Probably most
readers will pass that criticism upon
the case recorded below:
Basutoland, being broken and noun
famous, was until recently the resort
of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now, however, the hillsides
which were once the resort of these
savage creatures are the pasture
grounds of tens of thousands of cattle.
Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not long ago a leopard appeared
on the outskirts of a village. The
animal soon became as badly frighten-
ed as the villagers and sought safety
n fight
The next morning the inhabitants
turned out for hunt. One of the
hunters was climbing steep rock
when be suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose re-
treat was cut off by the rock itself.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter.
The dilemma was an awkward one,
for the climber was unarmed. Realiz-
ing his danger, he put forth his hands
and in desperation caught hold Of the
leopard on each side of Its jaw, hold
ing it at arms length and calling for
help. The leopard clawed and tore his
captor, but the man held ON till help
arrived, and the beast was speared.
Now came a question of law. By
Basuto law the skin belonged to the
chief, who must reward one of three
claimants-eithe the man who spear7d
the leopard or the man who held it so
that it was possible to spear it or the
man who, being warned by the bark
ing of his dog, first discovered the
animal in the village.
The Basuto Solomon decided the
case as follows: The man who speared
1t could not have done so but for the
man who held it, and the man who
held it cot not have known Of its
existence if the dog had not first
warned the village; therefore the credit
for the killing belonged to the dog,
whose owner was entitled to the re-
Ward-Youth'S Companion.

If female fox Svixen) gets caught
in steel trap and is discovered by
the male or fox dog, it is said he inva-
riably kills her, although l have not
heard it stated that the vixen would
kill the dog fox or another vixen or the
male another male.
If COW becomes impaled on fence
and groans with pain, the whole herd
instantly rush wildly to the spot. fight
and apparently do their best to destroy
her If not beaten off.
A hog confined with others in pen
breaks out and on being returned to
the pen is at once set upon and bitten
by the others.
Why, with all the instinct animals
possess, is the desire so strong to in
jure or destroy rather than to help or
rescue?-New York Sun.

THE LITTLE OLD sPINET.

Do you see the little spinet standing in the cor
ner there?
Great grandmother loved to play 1t when she was
a maiden fair.
Sunbeams through the window twinkle. flick ring
on its yellowed keys.
And we almost hear the tinkle Of the old time
melodies.
Great grandmother gowned in silk, with high
heeled slippers, dainty lace,
Sat there, while smile OF pleasure lighted up
her fair young face;
From without the rose scent fingers. drifting on
the summer breeze,
While she plays with fairy fingers all the old time
melodies
And the little spinet waits her patiently these
long, long years,
Till its mellow voice is broken, harsh. and has the
sound Of tears,
Yet it seems the sunbeams straying, fick'ring on
its yellowed keys,
And her fairy fingers playing all the old TINT
melodiesi

1t is known of ell men that the Repub-

purity, light and goodness and are Pc
culiarly the guardians of the ballot box.
Consequently 1t is heartrending to see
one Of their leaders caught redhanded
in padding the census preparatory to
stutting the ballot box and fraudu-
lently enlarging the Legislature. The
fact that fraudulent congressman
and a fraudulent presidential elector
also result from this padding Of the
census Is very disquieting.

what Forty Poles Make.

A good story is told about certain
professor whose business 1t was to lee
ture to number of students on sur.

professor said that In his opinion the
pole was of little or no value. To the
astonishment of those present Polish
gentleman arose and. after accusing
the professor of insulting his country
men, demanded an apology.
The professor thereupon explained
that the pole to which he referred was
merely term Of measurement. The
Polish gentleman, seeing his mistake,
asked the professor to forgive his ap-
parent rudeness. To this the professor
smartly replied:

you tried, for it takes 40 poles to make

LARGE IMMIGRATION.

There are early signs Of heavy
immigration this year to this country.
The condition Of the laboring classes
In Europe is becoming oppressive and
many are turning towards Americas
shores to seek remuneratlve work and
comfortable homes
About a week ago the German
steamer Rhein landed 2,lO9 immigrants
IN New York, and this Is said to be the
largest number of steerage passengers
ever brought over In one ship. WELL
there Is plenty Of room In this country
for industrious, thrifty and loyal clti-
zens, who come for the purpose OF
founding homes and building up the
waste places or in other ways CON

human family as the countries mem
toned.
immigration is the best standard by
which to measure prosperity. At pres
ent the United States seem to be an
Eden to those who toll for starvation
wages, while they are made to carry
heavy burdens Of militarism and are
denied reasonable representation In the
governments Of the countries,for which
they are taught to be ready to die at
any moment. No wonder that they
come by the thousands.

AMERICAN GENEROSITY.

The New York Times, IN its Saturday
Review presents some interesting data
concerning public gifts and requests
in the United States during the last
year Of the century. They are from
advance sheets Of the Appleton's An
nual Cyclopedia. Gifts and requests
amounting to $1,000 or over are included
in the list but ordinary UNCONVENTIONAL
contributions for educational, beneyo-
lent, and religious purposes. and also
State and municipal appropriations to
public institutions are excluded
The figures show that even with these
limitations gifts and requests for be-
neyolent purposes amounted during the
year 1900 to A15oO, 900, and this is the
largest sum for such purposes in eight
years, with the exception of 1889, when
charitable donations reached the sum
OF s62, 10000. During the last eight
years the total gifts and requests With
in the limitations specified, amounted
to 1914, $50 900. 1t may be added that
the present year, though only one-fourth
gone is keeping well up with its pre-
decessors
II is edifying to contemplate such fig
ures at a time when there is an i'm
preston that generosity is vanishing
and selfshness all-predominant Our
age may be one Of mammon worship.
