An Original Defense.

Two aborigines of Formosa, who
were arrested in the Hosan province,
were recently sentenced to death for
having murdered a-policeman. Their
defense was original. They said they
meant no harm; they killed the po'
liceman merely for joke.
Under cross-examination, they said
it was only after the Japanese had
come to the island that they had
heard that the murder of a man was
considered a bad deed.
In reply to question as to whether
they felt happy in killing the police
man, the prisoners replied yes, they
felt very happy.
This is the first occasion on which
one of the aborigines has been SEN
fenced to capital punishment since
the japanese took over Formosa.
4 remarkable feature of this case
that will occur to everyone, is how
closely the Holligan of London ap-
proaches in his sense of humor tho
aborigines of Formosa.

Completed His Testimony.

Too tenacious memory sometimes
leads to embarrassing situations. In
the London Tit Bits is related the
story of a right-of-way case which
concerned an ancient foot-path over
an English estate. The place had
passed from an old and respectable
family into the hands of a rich no
body.
The lawyer who appeared on behalf
of the landowner cross-eXamined a
venerable countryman, who had tes-
titled to his own personal knowledge
that there had been a right-of-way
over the land ever since he was a boy
of five.
"And how old are you now" asked
the lawyer.
'Eighty-five, sir"
"But surely you can't remember
things which occurred when you were
boy of five, eighty years ago?"
"'Deed an can, SIR" asserted the
octogenarian witness. 81 can mind a
year afore that, when your feyther,
sir, 'owd Skinfiint Cargo us called
him"
'That will do; you may step down"
said the lawyer hastily, as litter
ran around the courtroom.

Buncombe-"
'Stand down, sir" said the lawyer
wrathfully.,

lass"

venerable witness triumphantly, as
he slowly left the box.

Dennard, Ark, Sept. 7th.-Mr. E. j.

and the choicest vegetables grow rank
on every side.
There is practically no expense con-
nected with building a home, for ma
terial is going to waste and few hours
work will construct as comfortable
home as you can find in the neighbour
hood. Surely the most critical can ask
no more convenient spot.
A glowing tropic sun, copious rainfall,
never a nipping frost or a blighting
drought to blast the hopes and expecta-
tions of the planter.
On some of the coast counties the rain
fall is so heavy at certain portions of the
year that the water lilies may be found
on the tops of the hills, and this is pos
itively authentic.
The chief industry you will find con-
sists in the raising of coffee. sugar, rub
Der and tropical fruits, particularly the
finest oranges in the world.
Everything grows with but little care
or attention, and all in great profusion,
and of the most superior quality.
The labor question is in Mexico, as
seemingly in every other country, the
most vexatious problem of the day. 1t is
really most difficult, and at times almost
impossible, to find competent or incom.
petent hands to work on the plantations
or haciendas.
The Mexicans, for the most part, will
refuse absolutely to perform any kind
of systematic labor, or, rather, they will
not refuse, but promise most profoundly
and then simply do as they please. A
few hours work and then days rest is
the common method among the more re
liable; with the others, it is work an
hour or two, borrow few pennies and
then rest and beg till driven by sheer
necessity to go to work again.
Perhaps, though, theirs is the best
philosophy; they have enough to eat,
something to wear and a place to lay
their heads-what Is there more?
Of late years, since the railroads have
pushed further south, gangs of Italians
have been imported and worked in the
fields. This has not proved successful,
however, and such attempts will al
ways fail as long as the men are brought
alone and the families left behind. There
is some talk of Italian colonization, but
whether that is practical or not remains
to be seen.
Some idea of the fertility of the courp
try may be cleaned through glance at
the prices received there for the choice
fruit in comparison to what we pay for
ruch inferior goods.
Oranges, twice the size of our market
able article, go begging at four or five
cents a dozen; bananas are grown for
the shade the tree gives and sell for a
few cents bunch; pineapples for three
to five cents, and lemons for three for q
penny. This, of course, is on the ground
and there is really no fixed price, as the
natives ask what you will give before
stating their price.
Do you see why, with little money
and a contented mind, a disregard fR
snakes and love of the beautiful, q
long, care-free life may be passed in
the tropic noon of lovely Mexico; and
more, fortune growing independently
in reach of your hand.

ly about upon the river bank, with
one terrified shrek after another To
Rossiter's ears the shouts now re-
solved themselves into
'Help! help!"
The awakened man was ON his feet
in an instant. In such an emergency
as lis his habitual indecision did
not show itself. Off went his cap,
coat and shoes, and away he sprang
over the sward towards the dis

fleet of foot and his muscles were
hard from hundreds of leagues of
tramping.
The youth, for such Rossiter saw
the shouter to be, grew more frantic
as he realized that aid was approach

and then in the direction from which
assistance was coming.
"Oh, quick! be quick!" he cried,
but now his voice seemed to fail

NIGHT AND MORNING.

You turned the glory of your eyes
And woke a world of light!
! saw the regal morn arise
On dim, far heights of Paradise,
And take from flaming seas and skies
Their sacramental rite.
You turned the glory of your eyes
And left-a world of night;
For now, though other mornings rise,
Dusk-haunted are my daily skies,
And lonely is the path that lies
Before my lonely sight.
But when nights legions hold the skies
In rapt, attentive light,
Then, in the land of dreams grown wise,
/ see through your remembered eyes
Gods morning sweet and stainless rise
On Hfe's forgotten night.
