CHiVALRY OF SAVAGES.
Many Barbarous Tribes Are Exceed

Many Barbarous Tribes Are Exceed
ingIy DeferentiaI to Women.
Untrayeled people commonly sup
pose that savages always treat their
women badly, making mere slaves and
beasts of burden of them. This is
true in some cases, but many bar
barians are exceedingly chivalrous to-
ward women.
The Maoris of New Zealand always
treat women with the greatest defer
ence and respect SO much SO that the
Earl of Ranfurly once called them
''the truest gentlemen on earth" They
will not permit a woman to do any hard
work if they can do it for her, and
their boys are taught from earliest
youth that rudeness and unkindness
toward women are crimes only second
to lying and cowardice.
A young English lady named Ger
trude Bell travelled alone among the
Druses of Syria. She was everywhere
received by them with the greatest
courtesy and hospitality. Special tents
were assigned to her use, and the
sheiks wed with each other in being
her humble servants. mo we'll bred
English gentleman could have been
more chivalrous," she said, land they
were just as courteous to their own
women as they were to me-"
The Fijians go to extremes. They
are so deferential and polite to their
womenfolk that they let the latter
rule the roost" entirely A woman's
word is apt to be law in the Fiji is
lands.
AS a rule, women occupy sub
ordinate place in the east, but Kali
ristan is an exception. The Kaffirs are
of Aryan origin and to all appearances
are white race. They claim Alexan-
der the Great as their ancestor and
have a lofty code of chivalry. Their
women, lovely creatures with fair
complexion blue eyes and faxen hair,
are treated far better than most wom-
en- in civilized society.

"By this time, if you have made noise

when you have persuaded your wife
that the thing must be done you can
search the house at your leisure and
ever afterward pose as a genuine hero

PORTRAITS OF CATS.


D1mcu1t to Paint.
In speaking of the putting of cats
on canvas painter Of them recently
said: "rhey are without doubt one of
the most difficult creatures to paint,
and lamentably few artists make a
success of their portraiture They are
almost impossible to keep quiet, and
the particular fluffy 'cattiness' of their
coats is far from easy to depict in pig
ments. The famous cat painters are
few, and when choice or chance dis
covers one he, or more often she, finds
the gift mine of wealth

her feet glued to the floor. But salts
factory results as to expression, in
which cats face can be particularly
eloquent, are not to be secured in this
way. Those who have had reason to
know say that even the fur of felines
is indicative Of several things. In
health and contentment it stands out
fluffy from their bodies, while in fear
or displeasure it lies fiat and lankly to
the skin.
''Not long since picture was placed
ON exhibition of cat tapping milk,
with it's tail held high. Though the
technique was good and the fur really
furry the value of the whole was
practically nil. because no cat has ever
been known to eat with its tail in the
air. a@ith waving tails they do indeed
rush toward the food, but with the
first lap or bite down goes the caudal
appendage lower and lower, until with
full stomach it sweeps the ground.
In the case of young kittens it is often
different, however. They scramble in
to a dish of milk with their pointed,
ratlike tails at right angles to their
rolly poly bodies and sometimes forget
to take down this sign of animation
and alertness. Any one who knows
cats knows that the fail at every angle
and with every movement is expressive
of some definite emotion"

THE PASSING OF THE BICYCLES.

General f. r. Sherwood, formerly OF
Canton, but now editor of the Ameri-
can Sportsman, of Cleveland, has it in
for anything mechanical, spiritual, OF
moral, that in way threatens to drive
the horse out of business. In an ed
itorial he gives his views on the bi.
cycle and automobile, as follows:
"Six brief years ago, when we wrote
editorially in the American Sportsman
that bicycle riding was only q fad,
that would soon disappear, like the
skating rink craze, we were laughed
to scorn by the devotees of the wheel.
And. as will be remembered, all the
prophets of gall and vermifuge, of the
metropolitan press were united in pre-.
dieting that the bicycle. as a recrative
ard utility motor, had come to stay,
and that the horse had had his day.
"And now, what do we see? In the
history Of all the lads, both wholesome
and unwbolesome, there is nothing
since society began TO compare in mag
nitude with the rise and fall of the
bicycle. While we have all along pre-
dicted its decline in use and popularity,
we are amazed at the suddenness OF
tic optiro diouca 90 q rooraatiya motion
Quite recently we noted the fact that
the twenty-five concerns now making
this motor were behind profit money
during tho past year, and now we learn
that the American Bicycle trust, which
was created to conserve what was left
of the meager business, has asked for
the appointment of a receiver, that
the business may be discontinued. The
application states that the business OF
selling the wind tire motor has de-
clined eighty per cent during the past
three years. In fact, the whole inn
mense industry seems to have dropped
as suddenly as the man who slipped
ON banana peel.
And how long do you think that
nerye-rasking, loud smelling child
killing nuisance, the automobile, will
last? During it's brief use in few ell
les in the United States 1t has killed
moro human beings than we lost sol
liers killed in the Spanish war for free
Cuba. 1t is safe prediction that It's
use as a recreatiye motor will not ex.
ceed one-half the life of the bicycle
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-01-13

The grand jury returned 81 indict-
ments against law breakers in Stark
county. The report was made to
Judge Ralph S. Amber at 11:45 Sat
urday. Melvin II. Smith was indicted
for murder in the first degree, for the
killing of Conductor James b. Shelter.
Smith has been found insane at q
trial before the probate court, and
this movement of the prosecutor is
something of surprise, unless it Is
b to forestall any effort to secure his
liberation during the controversy over
where he shall be confined. The story
was in circulation that an effort
would be made to get him out on a
writ of habeas corpus, but this is de-
MED by Smiths counsel and his faith
er. Under the indictment, Smith will
have to be brought to trial unless the
indictment is set aside.
Attorney John e. Palmer was in
dicted for forgery, the charge being
that he forged a transcript and the
signature of Justice ]. II. Reigner, in
an effort to get case from the JUS
tees to the common pleas court.
There were IL liquor indictments
returned against six dealers, but as
they are not under bond their names
were not given out for publication.
One or two other true bills were re-
turned which were not made public.
"Yorkey Dick" whose real name is
James Clark, was indicted for parti-
cipation in the Bender robbery.
While some testimony was taken be-
fore the grand jury duplicating him
in the Hartong murder, the prosecut-
ing attorney, for reasons best known
to himself, did not insist upon an in
dictment at this time. "Yorkey" is
in jail awaiting the result of his
trial
The grand jury practically recon-
mended the erection of a new county
Jail This is shown by reading be-
tween the lines. Every grand jury
for the last two years has recon-
mended certain improvements in the
present Jail, but the present body,
while coinciding with the recommend
atious, goes further in its sugges-
tions.
The report shows that the jury was
in session six days, examined SO wit
