M0NGOL'S LAST RIDE.
BEARERS CONVEY HIS BODY AT
FULL GALLOP.
Strarge and Almost Shocking Rite
Practiced Among the Inhabitants of
the Monaghan Steppes-Other PecuI-

The wild nomad tribes who range
over the vast country known as Mon
golia have been celebrated for their
Craftsmanship from the earliest days of
history, when they swept across Asia
and down through Central Europe,
leaving tracks never to be effaced. In
the mother country of the race, Tibet
and in the deserts of Mongolia, the
tribes of wild horsemen have altered
very little with the march of the cen
turtles, but of late years they have been
reduced to a certain degree of order,
and, lacking the outlet formerly provid-
ed for their superhuous energies by
wars and inter-tribal raids, they are
likely to lose much of their old spirit
and characteristic customs.
The hereditary aristocracy play a
great part in Monaghan life, and even
among the widest nomad tribes
princes" and dukes" are quite com
mon. The princes" it may be noted
have for some time past been little
more than the pensioners of the suze-
ram, CHINA, receiving small yearly
revenue, in return for which they are
bound to furnish military service II
called upon. Beyond the possession OF
more numerous flock, finer sheepskir
coats and larger tent, it is difficult tC
see what privileges are conferred by
rank. The expression, "a beggar Oh
horseback denote a ludicrous OF
homogeneous sight-would have nC
meaning in Mongolia, for prince anC
beggar alike ride everywhere.

out grazing is spent in riding from ten

WHY HE SMOKED.

Robinson's Reason Seemed TO Need "a
Good Deal of Bolstering Up.
Robinson, l never saw you smoking
a cigar before" said Chicago man to
an acquaintance whom he had met in
the street. Robinson looked triie con-
fused, but proceeded to give his reason
for using tobacco. His explanation sug-
gests very plainly the French proverb,
which is, in English "He who excuses
himself accuses himself"
81 got into the habit in curious
way" he said. II used to smoke once
or twice a year. One day while l had
cigar in my mouth, / accidentally
scratched small wart on my hand
my hands were covered with them
and some of the ashes got into the
scratch. In a few days the wart went
away. That seemed an easy way to
cure them and / tried Vt again on an
other wart. That one also went away.
SO | kept at ii.
Every few days l would smoke an
other cigar, scratch another wart, rub
the ashes on the place, and In due time
1t would go away. ! don't say the plan
will work with everybody, but 1t did
with me. That's how"
But when they were all gone, why
didn't you-Oh, l see You still have
some to remove Why don't you treat
all of them at oncep'

It's splendid 10 live so grandly
That. long after you are gone,
The things you did are remembered,
And recounted under the SUM-
To live so bravely and purely
That a nation stops on It's way.
And once year, with banner and drum,
Keeps It's thought OF your natal day.
IT'S splendid TO have a record
so white and free from stain
That held to the light, II shows no blot
Though tested and tried amain;
That age to age forever
Repeats Its story OF love,
And your birthday lives In a nations heart.
All other days above.
And this is Washington's glory,
steadfast soul and true
Who stood for his country's honor
When his country's days were few.
And now when Its days are many,
And Its flag OF stars is flung
To the breeze In defiant challenge.
His name Is on every tongue.
Yes, It's splendid to live so bravely,
To be so great and strong,
That your memory Is ever a toscin
To rally the foes of the wrong;
To live so proudly and purely,
That your people pause In their way,
And year by year, with banner and drum,
Keep the thought Of your natal day.

Observed Washington's Birthday.

New York, Feb. -Washington's
birthday was observed here by special
service of patriotic societies and many
clergymen made the anniversary the
subject of their sermons.

luton of the state of New York had

tor at a memorial meeting held in the

sideration of the race problem.

John Brown.

Chewelah. Wash, Feb. 23.-As the
result of an alteration between uncle
ana nephew, John Brown is dead and
Thomas l.. Montgomery is under ar
rest.
The trouble occurred at dance
Brown was intoxicated and abusive to-
ward Montgomery and other men
whom Brown saw dancing with his
wife. Brown threatened Montgomery,
according to the latter's story, and
finally made an assault upon him with
his fists. Montgomery grabbed Brown
by the collar and struck him in the
face with his fist, knocking him to the
sidewalk.
Montgomery returned to the hall
where the dance was being held.
Brown was carried into a drug store
and died in a few minutes. A phys
ician said. the mans neck had been
broken by the fall. There were no
marks on his face where Montgomery
struck him.

it is only in the autumn and winter,
when the camels have to be employed
for transport service, that the MOngol
does any hard work. Every MOngol is
born horseman, and he herds his
flocks of sheep, goats and camels on
horseback, being able, It is said, to keep
his seat even when intoxicated, as he is
not infreQuently. Horse racing is an ex-
tremely popular amusement the num-
Der of entries for each race being enor-
nous, and a kind of polo Is played in
which the place of the ball Is taken by
a fat sheep, held in the arms Of one Of
the players, from which the others try
to snatch 1t.
There is, in fact, no circumstance Of
Mongol life in which horsemanship

given to riding visiting, dining. and to

that He Ever Took Communion.
Gen. A. w. Greedy, U. 8. A., contrib
utes most interesting chapter OH THE
Personal Side of Washington" (his tee
ond and concluding one on the subject)
in the Ladies' Home Journal. In con-
sidering Washington's religious life Tor
belief the biographer makes the preface:
This effort to depict Washington as
very devout from his childhood, as a
strict Sabbatarian, and as in intimate
spiritual communication with the church,
is practically contradicted by his own
letters" Continuing, Gen.
Greedy says: What Washington really
believed as to the fundamental truths of
Christianity, or as to non-essentials on
which so many sectarian issues have been
raised, cannot be definitely stated. He
Inherited the Episcopal form of faith by
baptism, and throughout his life took
an active part as a vestryman Of that
church. But even if he was ever con-
frmed in it's faith there Is no reliable
evidence that he ever took communion
with 1t or with any other church. In
short, II seems that the very honesty and
integrity of the man caused him to re-
frain from the more spiritual forms Of
activity In the church. Possibly his
mind, as have the minds of many men
of high moral character, followed the
irrational bent of inseparably associating
principles and professions, and so looked
askant at creeds and dogmas, where the
lives of their foremost advocates gave
the lie to the profession of the lips. 1t
is notable, however, that as time went
OH, the occasional Indifference of his
youthful days gave place to a respectful,
even If not devout, attitude with refer
ence to religious matters. In a feeling
of spiritual Indifference to the church it
is not surprising that, neglecting spiritual
reasons, be wrote, as a Virginia colonel:
The want of chaplain does reflect dis
honor upon the regiment, as all other OFF,
