shearing lambs on Wall street Is
less profitable than 1t was a year or

fast as It has been clipped, and some
OF the lambs are setting wise. Al the

The attorney. general has ruled that
an Indian may cut timber on his land
as soon as he gets his allotment he
does not have to wait for a deed.
Judge Clayton has ruled that where
townsltes have been segregated the
lands of course no longer belong TO
the Indian, consequently the people
living thereon should not De asked
to pay tribal tax, the land having
passed from possession OF the tribe.
The cattle tax on the same line should
now be obsolete, as the tribes no long
er control the lands after allotment

trending TO the humane, and affairs
OF this nature will soon be straight
ened out In fact we expect 20 see

goods-we will say whisky-haye the
same replevined and fight the case
on the plea that these townsltes are
no longer Indian domain but belong

now enforced in spilling liquor. II

why should IL not In the other?

HANGMAN's PAY.
The Way an Oriental Exec utioner
Helps 20 FiIl His Purse.

Helps 20 FiII His Purse.
In the east hangman's trade is very
profitable As soon as person Is
condemned 20 be hanged notice is sent
20 the executioner, who has the privi-
lege OF erecting the scaffold wherever
he pleases, and at sunrise the next
morning he begins his work. Accom-
panied by his assistants, who guard
the condemned man and carry material
for the scaffold, he goes 10 some promi-
nent place In front Of large dwelling
and there proceeds 10 erect the scaffold.
A few minutes later the owner OF the
large dwelling rushes out and implores
him 20 60 somewhere else
II don't want 10 have a man hanged
In front OF my house." he explains.
"All right" says the hangman. I'm
willing 10 90 elsewhere provided you
pay me for my trouble in coming here
and for the time which have spent
at the job"
Though the sum which he names ls
pretty large. the owner OF the large
dwelling pays II without word,
whereupon the hangman goes TO an
other large dwelling, where a similar
scene is enacted
In this way several hours are spent
by the executioner in extorting money
from all the magnates In the neighbor
hood. When his purse IL at last well
nlled he erects the scaffold in some
dark wood, and soon the unfortunate
man, who has been tramplng after hin
all day. Is at rest.-New York Herald
