East African Natives Have q Lewe,A
That Tells the story.
Among the Nasal, q native tribe In
German East Africa. IL found the fol-
lowing story Of the creation, which, ac-
cording to DR.. Emil Reich, they could
not have got from missionaries. DIR.
Reich thinks that the Christian. Nasal
and Babylonian accounts had a com.
mon origin In Arabia: I'm the begin
ming the earth was a waste and bar
rem wilderness In which there dwelt a
dragon alone. Then God came down
from heaven. fought with the dragon
and vanquished it. From the dragons
blood. which was water the barren
rock wilderness was made fertile, and
the spot where the struggle between
God and the dragon took place became
paradise. Thereafter God created all
things-sun. moon, stars, plants and
beasts and finally two human beings.
The man was sent down from heaven
and was called Maitumbe. and the wo-
man. Naitergorob. sprang from the
bosom Of the earth.
( GOD led them into paradise, where
they lived an untroubled existence. OF
all the fruits therein they might eat by
Gods permission; Of one tree alone
they might not taste. Often God came
down to see them. when he climbed
down ladder from heaven. But one
day he was unable for long time to
find them. but finally discovered them
crOuching among the bushes. On being
asked the meaning Of his conduct Mai
Tumble replied that they were ashamed
because they had eaten of the forbid

A QUEER POSTOFFlCE.
How Mail Was Delivered In the Old

How Mail Was Delivered In the Old
Days Of Leadville.
speaking of bad towns" said one Of
the Kansas City (Kan.) officials who
had crossed the plains in the early days
Of the west, reminds me of old Lead
vile. Colo, when everybody had the
gold fever bad and law and justice
hinged on the mighty Colt.
1.-THE town was full of holdup men.
and it was hardly safe for one to 60
on the streets after dark; but, us many
crooks, murderers and bad mem as
there were in the town, there was hard
~ ever case Of petty thievery. Every
store was wide open and unguarded,
and the merchandise was perfectly
safe too.
"A large postoflce business was done
In Leadville at that time. The post
master was an old German. The great
number of incoming gold seekers in
creased the amount of mail until the
postmaster became unable to handle it.
He then dumped the mail In the middle
Of the floor. and everybody came In and

tiers and papers. The stack Of mail was
sometimes four and five feet high, and
fifteen or twenty men were always
gathered around It, Perfect order pre-
vailed. and no one took any mail ex-
cept his own.
"A government detective happened
around one day and told the postmaster
that he would have to discontinue this
free for all method Of handling the
mail. The old man got mad, and. sum-
moning the patrons Of the Office. they
tarred and feathered the detective and
rode him out Of town on a rail. 1t was
long time before the Office was run
according to the rules Of the depart
ment. but there was never a complaint
against the old German postmaster

A wry smile came to the lips of her
questioner, and he remarked dryly:
II told you the wine would do you
good"
He sat down by the table and wrote
the pass for John, the servant, tying
the three papers together with the dis
carded silk cord that had wrapped the
parchment Of the king. Giving her the
package, he accompanied her to the
head Of the stair and stood there while
she descended.
She completed her descent, passed
outside without looking back and
mounted the horse, which soldier was
holding for her. The birds were twit-
tering in the trees, and the still water
Of the moat lay like molten silver In
the new light. She rode up the accliv-
ity, then galloped for Banbury, reach
ing the town before any one was astir.
The streets were entirely deserted
Cromwelrs command having cleared
them, and the invisible guards of few
hours before, whom the magic pass
word stilled, seemed as nonexistent as
if they had been phantoms Of vision.
The sleepy innkeeper received the
horse, and she crept up the stair OF old
Johns room and knocked upon it until
he responded. She gave him his pass
and the two documents for her brother
and told him to set off for Durham as
soon as he got his breakfast, making
what haste he could to Warburton
park. He was to tell her brother that
she was we'll and would follow shortly.
Then she went to her own room, threw
herself on the bed, dressed as she was,
and, certain she would never enjoy In
nocent sleep again. slept instantly.

the aunt herself was not wont to con-

cannot have a large practice. II he
does own a horse which happens to be
fat the people insist that he cannot

How Ono Woman Lost Her Temper

Apropos of the woman with the abil-

moment IN auctioneer in New York
tells an interesting story. The woman
was an American who had been living
abroad with her husband for many
years. Upon his death she returned,
bringing with her large collection Of
valuable paintings which had been his
property and which she hoped to sell.
She made arrangements with the auc.
tionecr to handle them for her, and no
WIS delighted with the cleverness with
which she had obtained vouchers for
each one. It showed enterprise and
thorOushness seldom found In men or
| women and made 1t certain that the
pictures. which were really good ones,
would bring good prices.
To every one living who had been In
any way connected with the pictures,
owned them or bundled them the won.
an had gone for written guarantee,
and, In addition to the names obtnined
In this why, she had been to the Amer
lean consul, and he In his turn had
guaranteed their signatures. They
were all sworn to and duly witnessed,
and the auctioneer congratulated the
woman.
That was all right until Uncle Sam
stepped In. The custom house authori-
ties, though unable to obtain possession
of the guarantees, appreciated tho pic
lures, estimated them to be worth their
full yalue rs understood by the owner
and put duties upon them entirely be-
yond the woman's power to pay. She
was greatly distressed at first, then an
noyed and finally furiously angry Mt
what she considered an imposition.
The nuctioneer endeavored to console
her.
"They will be sold for little or moth.
Ing ut the custom house SALE" he said,
"and the best thing to do is to buy
them In. They will go for $40 OF SIS
apiece. and we will have the sale after
ali. l will buy them in for you, and
we will both make pot Of money out
Of them"
But by that time the woman was too
angry to listen to advice She consid-
cred that she had been badly treated.
II the custom house wished to keep her
pictures from her, very well, they
might have them. She tore up the
guarantees, the pictures were sold for
aext to nothing and scattered no one
knows where now and the woman lost
a small fortune-New York Times.
