a Chlnaman was summoned as a
witness to a court in London. and in,
stead of being sworn in the usual
manner lighted candle was given ia
him, which he blew out and then said
solemnly, IF l do not tell the truth in
this case may be eXtingushed as this
candle has just been extinguished." AS
there was no perceptible change in him
after performing this ceremony it is
reasonable to suppose that he did tell
the truth
a native of India, being summoned
as witness in an Australian court, in
formed the magistrate that he did not
believe in the usual oath and that his
testimony would be useless unless he
could be sworn by the waters of the
Ganges. The magistrate was non
plused. but the Interpreter, with a
smile. left the court and returned in a
few minutes with a glassful of water
rs that water from the Ganges?"
asked the astonished judge.
No" replied the interpreter, "but
I'll tell him that it is. and he'll certain
ly believe me-"
He was right. The Indian swore by
the holy water. never dreaming that it
had been obtained from a nearby pump.

Once, however, he was delayed and
at the last moment found that he
could not catch the express train that
he always took If he stopped to pur-
chase anything. When upon his ar

to put her hand in his pocket he shook
his head.
Il had to disappoint you tonight,
dear" he said, and, seeing her quiver-

what to Teach the nnvs.

A philosopher has said that true ed
ucation of boys is to teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men"
First.-To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this \ man had bet
ter not know how to read and be true
and genuine in action rather than to be
learned in all sciences and in all Ian
guagcs and be at the same time false
in heart and counterfeit in life Above
all things, teach the boys that truth is
more than riches, power or possessions.
Second.-To be pure in thought Ian
guage and life-pure in mind and body.
Third.-To be unsclfsh. to care for
the feelings and comforts of others. to
be generous, noble and manly. This
will include genuine reverence for
the aged and for things sacred.
Fourth.-To be self reliant and self
helpful even from childhood. to be in
dustrious always and self supporting
at the earliest possible age. Teach
them that all honest work is honor
able; that an idle life of dependence
on others is disgraccful.
When boy has learned these things.
when lie has made these ideas part Of
him, however poor or however rich. he
has learned the most important things
he ought to know.

BR1srow's MEN IN LAND INQUIRY.
Bonaparte Said to Want Their Aid-Charges
Against an Indian Inspector.

washingtOn Sept. 15.-It is learned that sec
rotary Hitchcock intends to prefer the services
of Indian Inspector Frank Churchill TO assist
Charles j. Bonaparte in the investigation OF the
Indian land frauds. and will probably offer those
Of Special Indian inspector s F. O'FaIlon as
well. There is a rumOr. however. which in the
absence Of Mr.. Bonaparte cannot be confirmed
that he will prefer to select his own immediate
assistants for this work although he viii doubt
less be glad 70 avail himself of the assistance
Of the men designated for that purpose by Sec
rotary Hitchcock as we'll It is said that Mr.
Bo7aparte has in mind asking Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow for the assist
ance of two Of the most competent Postoflce
inspectors to aid him in ferretins the numerous
frauds believed TO exist in the administration C
affairs in the Indian Territory.
There are already charges against Inspector
churchill who. it is alleged purchased for him
self some Of the lots in the town OF Sulphur.
Ind. T.. which he was detailed to sell for
the Indians. This town takes its name from
the sulphur springs in the vicinity. which are
believed 10 have great curative properties. and
those persons who purchased lots in the town
are likely to realize handsomely on their invest
meuts. While the allegation that Churchill
awaited himself Of this opportunity to speculate
in lands which had belonged to the Indians may
prove to be false, it viii doubtless be one Of the
subjects which Mr.. BOnaparte will be called
upon to investigate.
II is stated that Mr.. Bona parte will be obliged
10 travel extensively III Indian Territory in order
