curities as a stock dividend. Nearly eV-
erything on the list has got back to a
level of the prices that existed before the
boom of 1898 was started.
Many Reasons Given.
Many are the reasons that are assign
ed for the tremendous shrinkage in
values. The fundamental reason, of
course, as all agree, is over-eapitaliza-
ton. Wall street is choked with stocks
and bonds of companies that were form
ed late in the boom times and that can
not be hoated. The rich men, the pro-
moters and the bankers who had these
securities printed to sell to the public
found some time ago that the public had
already taken more securities than it
could handle and was dumping them back
into Wall street. In order to take care
of the poor trash" which they cannot
unload on the public the promoters and
their hackers found it necessary to sacri
fee good stocks in the market, and the
decline has been the natural result

THE PARENTAL CATFISH.

"The catfish" said an angler, se-

over the babies with anxious care.
They darted in this direction and
that, keeping the coast clear, and II
a stranger fish approached they rur-
fed up and fought it OF like lions
They did a thing that indicated great
intelligence in them when they ga"
me. Happening to glance up ana
catch my eye, they feared that
meant mischief, and instantly they
sank down to the bottom and
tbrashed the mud about with their
tails. thus creating an opaque cloud
wherein their young and they were
invisible. Since that time L have
often seen catfish with their young

DANGEROUS CHICKENS.
They Sometimes Fly Into the Auto
mobile Drivers Face and
Disaster Follows.

To warn the new automobiliSt
against pigeons and chickens is very
apt to excite his visibility; but they
are really dangerous distractions,
says Outing. This does not lie in the
fact that either one is big enough to
wreck an automobile. A machine of
even Light weight, striking a pigeon
in the road, would not feel it; but
chickens and pigeons both have
way of waiting until the machine
gets close at hand, and then flying
straight up. If the automobile is
going faster than they expect, just
as likely as not the drivers face may
collide with the rising bird. This
may temporarily blind him, or, much
more likely rattle him, so that his
machine swerves to one side, and
sometimes disagreeable things might
happen.
For chickens and dogs it is best to
slow down, If possible. One reason
for this is the ethical one that you
have no right whatever to destroy
other peoples property. Chickens
and dogs may mean a great deal to
farmers who own them, and they
have fully as good a right upon the
road as you have going at a high
rate of speed. Until you have learned
to respect the property and the feel
ings of other persons, you have no
business running an automobile at

a simple process, and they did not APP
pear to be firing. They were always
cheerful in their work, and smiled and
cracked jokes among themselves con-
tinually. At intervals the men who
filled the baskets in the coal barges
were relieved, for this is the hardest Of
the work, andno one seemed disposed
to take an unfair advantage.
In the evening it became necessary
to increase the force, and the passen-
gers were put ashore, while every avail
able inch of space was utilized by the
coal paSSers. OF course they made a
great deal Of dirt and the promenade
deck was knee deep in coal at many
places. The passers accompanied their
work with weird chant, and as night
came on they looked like specters from
the neither gloom" fitting noiSelessly
about with their black faces and be-
grimed clothes. After the work was
over they repaired to their boats, and
there before the entire ship proceeded
to take of the dirt, each one in turn
washing over the side Of the boat and
putting on clean clothing.

HEADS OF FOES IMPALED.
The Sultan of Morocco Sets Them Up
on Spiked Walls as
Warnings

]. C. Langerman, United States
consul at Tangier, and commissioner
of the St. Louis exposition, recently
visited the sultan of Morocco at Fee.
In an interview, says report to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr.. Langerman
said:
Morocco is still unsettled. The
heads of all the rebels the sultan can
capture are impaled on spikes on the
walls of the city. The heads are pre-
served so they will last longer as a
warning. I spent six weeks with the
sultan, and was the last American to
leave Fee. The sultan's policy is to
capture the pretender. If caught he
will exhibit him throughout the
country in cage. 1t would be of nc
use to kill him, for the people would
not believe him dead. The pretender
recruits his fanatical following by
promising to kill all foreign devils
when he becomes sultan. The pres
ent sultan showed me places in his
palace where captives were walled in
alive. The Moroccans are the most
fanatical people in the world.

WHERE INDIANS TRADE.
Members Of the Lipan Tribe Drive
Close Barg ndns with Langtry
Crex) Merchants.

This is one of the few Indian trading
places remaining in the United States.
BY this is meant the genuine Indian
trading such as existed at many from
tier points until the red men were Ell
Their exterminated or brought under
the influences of civilization. This has
been an Indian trading post for half a
century or more. A thriving business
was done here with the Indians long
before the advent Of the Southern Pa
cific railroad, says a Langtry (Te1.)
correspondent of the New York Times.
In those days the little collection OF
houses, situated on the bank Of the
Rio Grande, midway between Antonio
on the east and Ell Paso on the west,
about 500 miles from either place, was
known as Ninagaroon. When the rail
road was built the name was changed
to Langtry.
The Lipan Indians, who occupy a
reservation in the Santa Rosa noun
tains in Mexico, about 100 miles south
of here, have made Langtry their trad
ing point for many years. Only few
days ago ten big, strapping Lpan
bucks crossed the Rio Grande with
many boats full of bear, deer, javeline,
and panther hides. They also had a
great quantity of hides of smaller ami
mails. In their collection was also the
hides of three mountain sheep, which
are considered very valuable. There
were several beaver hides in the lot,
but the Indians said they had met with
poor luck this year in trapping beav-
ers, although there are several large
colonies of the animal scattered along
the mountain streams and In the
valley of the Rio Grande above here.
The Indians were close traders, as
they knew fairly well the value of the
different kinds of hides, and the local
merchants gave full value for them in
blankets. caicoes, and foodstuffs, prin-
cipally in -four and canned goods. 1t
took the Indians all one day to com
plete their trading and they left for
their distar mountain home, train OF
burros awaiting them on the other
side of the Rio Grande to carry the
goods.

quent intervals during the winter sea-
son. The Lipans are great hunters and
trappers, and they make a good living
out of the business. They are peace
able citizens, and it has been many
years since they gave the Mexican au-
thorities any trouble Their reserva-
ton is remotely situated, and the tribe
has not been disturbed by the in
| huences of civilization.

NATIVE RULERS OF INDIA.
All Keeping state and SplendOr Far
Beyond That of EngIand's
Courts.

India is even more subdivided and
petty-cOurted than eighteenth CEN

lightweight rulers under England's
imperial sway; from the nizam of
Haiderabad, with domains as large as
France, to the clIief of 20 villages.
All keeping state and splendor far
beyond our conventionalized courts.
says Edmund Russell, in Everybody's
Magazine. The guikwar of Baroda,
the maharajah of Kashmir, the
young kings of Mysore and Gualior
are the most important; while Udai-
pur and Jodhpore dispute which holds
the highest rank as descendant OF
the Sun, and the Rama of Udaipur is
always represented in painting with
an aureole and divine honors.
These rajahs are the orchid
crowned GASES in deserts of starving
millions. But the Indian reaches tho
bitterest poverty without degrade
ton, and the simple agricultural peo-
pie lead life whose every motion
IS directed by spiritual law.
