Odd DID Laws.

In an old set Of laws Of the Choctaw
Nation there is q clause which relates
to the killing Of witches. For witch
craft the penalty was death, and for
alleging oneself to be a witch or for
saying that any other person was one
was punishable by sixty lashes on the
bare back.
Another declared that no doctor could
take money or any of the belongings of
a patient he treated II the patient died.
If the lfatient were raised up from q
sick bed the doctor could accept what
was offered to him. and If nothing vas
offered, then he could take in goods
what was his just compensation.
In 1884 the Choctaw council passed
an net which made a person who bar
gained to sell any of the Choctaw land
Il traitor and punishable by death. Any
white man who encouraged such action
was deported. An Indian who sold OF
disposed of land either to individuals
Or to the United States in toto should
be considered a traitor and shot on con.
viction. This was just preceding the
beginning of the work of the Dawes
commission.

The Crimson
Visioned Cow
BY EDWIN j. WEBSTER
COPYRIGHT, 1901, sp Eduin J. webste,

Middleton is a great believer In the
influence of mind ovev matter, but
he is doubtful how far his theories
may be applied to farming-at least
where cows are concerned.
When the family moved to the sub.
urbs Middleton determined to keep a
COW. Everything ven we'll until Win
ter set in. when the COW, after the
name of her kind, did not give the
accustomed supply of milk. This con-
duct of the cows Jared upon Middle
tons business instincts. He considered
1t pure l~az!ness. The tousled headed
boy whom he had hired to look after
the COW explained that 1t wasn't bad
heartedness Oh the part f the COW,
but a lack Of grass, that was responsi.

milk supply.

ton objected. "And hay Is Just az
nourishing as grass"
ut amt so green. d." persisted the
tousled one. "Dere's mighty few
things so green as grass. Do dere /.
some" he added refiectively.
Middleton took this last remark as q
reflection on his own knowledge Of
farming. So he Indignantly ordered

The tousled headed boy, hidden in
the haymow, wisely gave no indication
Of bis whereabouts. Middleton adjusted
the green glasses and tried to replace
them on the COW. But that particular
COW had bad all she cared for OF spec.
tacles OF any sort, whether provided
with red or green glasses. She shook
her head in such a threatening manner
that Middleton finally abandoned the
attempt.
"A scientific experiment that might

back to the house.

A County, Wedding,

Canton News: Last Tuesday our
genial clerk Of courts, A. Brady
Beck, accompanied by his brother
Warren and his sister. Miss Stella,
went to Mitchell, where on the fol-
lowing day he was married to Miss
Bertha Clare Scriven at the residence
of the BRIDES parents.
The bride is the daughter of j. FL.
Scriven, n of Mitcl3ell's foremost
and highly esteemed citizens and a
republican politician Of state wide
acquaintance. The groom has grown
up in our county and was an active
republican stump speaker at an ear
Tier period Of life probably than any
republican in our county or state.
While yet a mere lad attending dis
trict school in Dayton township, his
ability as an exponent Of republican
principles and doctrines was admired
by all his acquaintance. During the
second term of his father as clelk OF
courts for this county. Brady was his
deputy and his efficiency was so
marked that the party he had served
so well determined to reward him and
he was nominated and elected. Fol-
lowing its usual custom, the party
gaze him a denomination and will
re-elect him this fall and on Jan. LIST
he will enter his second term as clerk
Of courts. The lady Of his choice is
very highly spoken OF by those who
know her and the News hastens to
congratulate Mr.. Brady on the fact
that by law he is compelled to do a
great deal of counting fol the people
generally, he has successfully prose-
cuted Il suit on his owA behalf.
May this union prove a blessing to
the parties in interest. as well as
to the "body politic'' of this county.

Animal ana Plant Allie..

An interesting instance of the man.
ler in which insects sometimes assist
the growth of plants is furnished by
the history of a climbing plant which
grows in the Philippines. At an early
stage in it's career the plant, which,
like other plants. begins to grow from
the ground, sever it's connection with
the soil and thenceforward lives with
its roots attached to dead bamboo
canes. 1t develops, in addition to other
leaves, certain pitcher shaped leaves,
into the cups of Which it sends a sec
ond set cf roots. n species of small
black ant frequents the pitchers and
incidentally carries into them minute
fragments of decaying wood and leaf
mold, from which the roots derive 8
constant supply of food for the sup.
port of the plant.

find but little outlet in sounding

Sonsa has SO perfected the military
band in his own Incompatible organ
ization that it occupies a position as
exalted as can be created in this
class Of music. An eminent critic in
Holland last summer said that he
obi ected to harmony orchestras on
principle, and that to form a band
leaving out the soul the strings-is
always antipathetic. But Sousa's
band, he added, is capable of chang
ing ones opinion on this subject
1t is the thorough assimilation Of
the orchestral effects that gives the
Sousa band a charm and an artistic
character Of its own.
One OF the highest tributes to the
conductor and bis organization is the
c0nstancy of their following. There
was q time when Sousa was a nov
city, but that time has passed. He
is now known in every city, town
and Hamlet In the broad expanse of
these United States. He stands at
the top, but even then there is moth
Eng particularly new to expect Of
him or to say of him. He plays a
vide range OF music, giving his pat
IONS the lest aud newest of the
worlds output of melody and bar
nony, thus contributing to the en-
Argement Of the musical horizon Of
the public, yet no inconsiderable ele-
Rent Of bis strength lies in the fact
that he gives audiences just the kind
of music pabulum they most desire.
Sousa does not place himself upon a
PEDESTAL above his public; he consid-
ers their applause in the nature Of a
compliment which eau best be ac-
knowledged in the manner most sat-
isfying to those who applaud Hence

grown to be practically an integral
part Of the Sousa concerts. They
are always demanded, produced and
enjoyed in the same spirit Of grace

acteristic Of Sousa and the Sousa
concerts. Mr.. Sousa has arranged to
play here at the corn palace during

OSD CHARGE.

boy slouched sulkily away, black
wrath in his heart.
But the boys remark had suggested
an idea to Middleton.

that COW to think hay is not as good
as grass. If she supposed she was eat.

milk as before, ever if her food sup
ply happened really to be hay"
She may be a credulous cow" re-
piled Mrs. Middleton in doubtful tones.
But how even your flow Of persuasive
words can make her believe hay ts
grass is more than / can see."
But Mrs. Middleton's incredulity did
not decrease her husbands ardor In
his plan for revolutionizing dairy
farming. The next morning Middle.
ton went to an optician and left an
order for an unusually large pair OF
plain green glass spectacles. In the
afternoon, gloating over his scheme
for an increased milk supply, be
marched triumphantly out to the barn.
The COW didn't seem to understand
why she should wear s%pectacles. as she
had never made any complaint of fail
Ing eyesight. But after a little she
became somewhat %reconciled to them.
Middleton kicked around some hay, so
that it would look like grass though
on the floor Of the barn. Then he
went back to the house to explain.
more fully to Mrs. Middleton the ben
efts which would accrue from his idea.
About an hour later the tousled
headed boy entered the barn. The
COW was eating the hay, but she GER
tainly was a much puzzled animal.
Her eyesight showed that 1t was green
and it looked like grass. but it was dry
and didn't in the least taste like grass.
Now the tousled headed boy still cher
ished feelings of wrath. When he saw
the spectacles on the COW he gasped
with amazement.

THE GLOVED BURGLAR.

The plain and simple means OF
"getting round" the finger mark ex-
perts of Scotland Yard has at length
commended Itself to the burglar
mind. In evidence given in a case
at Windsor recently it was made
plain that the crac men who made
q haul of jewelry at Lady Mary Cur
rie's some time ago had worn gloves
all through the operation. The pan
els and panes of glass examined by
the official microscope showed no
telltale traces of the presence of
any well known practitioner, but
merely a number of blurred marks.
So another detail is added to the al
ready large outfit of the modern
burglar, who will now carry his
gloves along with his list slippers,
his keys, his drills, his saws, his CEN
terbit, his glass cutter, his wrench,
his dynamite, his lantern, his revolv-
er, etc. 1t is business that calls
for some capital. London News.
