Their Little Jokes.

From Tit-BftS.
The other day counsel, engaged in a
case In which property of various descr1p-
tons was involved, made long and ram
bling speech referring to each kind in turn.
His monotonous delivery had sent nearly
every one to sleep, when he suddenly star
tied them all by abruptly changing his
voice as he exclaimed to the judge:
MY lord, I will now address myself to
the furniture"
you have been doing that for some time,
I think, Mr.. Wells" remarked the judge
sweetly, amid universal tittering.
Now there was another Judge who heard
this anecdote. and thought of storing 1t up
for some future occasion.
At the court, soon afterward, his oppor-
tunity seemed to have arrived. He was
trying case in which the circumstances
were somewhat similar, but the property
involved WAS livestock.
In due course one of the counsel said:
my lord, will now address myself to
the donkey"
You have been doing that for some
time was the prompt response. whereupon
a regular roar of laughter followed which
highly gratified the judge until its true rea-
son dawned on him.

CHICAGO, December 27.-May wheat, in

HILL TO RETIRE.
Noted Railway Magnate to Quit Bust
ness on January l.

James J. Hill says he will retire Janu-
airy 1 from active work in connection
with his vast railway interests Ever
since his son, Louis w. Hill, left Yale he
has been trained to take up the burden
of the business.
For years the story has been printed at
intervals that next July" or next jan
uar" or some other time, Mr.. Hill would
drop business and begin to play: still he
has kept on in harness.
But now 1t is from his own lips that au-
thority is derived for the statement that
he really intends to make 1905 his last
year of toll. He told a reporter in ST
Paul several weeks ago that this was his
definite plan, but he asked the newspaper
man to hold the story until December
81. Apprehension that the news was about
to be printed in another paper in spite
of Mr.. Hills precautions caused the paper
to which the secret was intrusted to make
it public at this time.
However, il Is believed Mr.. Hill will keep
an eye on the immense network of affairs
in which he has been master for so many
years. leaving the details to his sons and
merely seeing to 1t that all goes we'll. Few
who know him believe he can drop bust
ness altogether, even II he should desire
to. His son Louis Mr.. Hill has often sad,
Is fully competent to act as his successor.
Mr.. Hill is now sixty-seven years old.
He was born near Guelph. Ont, and is OF
Scotch-Irish descent. AS youngster he
left the farm with country boys school,
ing and went to Manchester. During the
civil war he was Mississippi steamboat
man, on the river part of the time but
mostly employed in the company's offices
in st. Paul. Later he founded transpor-
tation business OF his own. He was the
first to open land and river communication
between St Paul and Winnipeg
He foresaw the future of the northwest
ern country. When a railroad built out into
the farming lands beyond st. Paul failed,
HtN found money to buy It, and raised
enough more to build 1t further. This be-
came the st. Paul. Minneapolis and Mani
toba, extending to the Canadian boundary
This was almost twenty-fiye years ago
Minnesota and the Dakotas were rapdly
filling with settlers. The Canadian govern
ment was using it's influence to populate its
own immense agricultural territory in
Manitoba and the northwest.
Hilrs railroad was the only one tapping
even the outskirts of this growing en-
pire. His road paid from the beginning,
and soon It's earnings became immense
Branches were extended as the advance of
the farmers warranted construction.

onas Are a Giant Tribe.

From the Chicago Chronicle
The Onas. tribe of Indians inhabiting
the mainland of the TERRA del Fuego Is
land, are physical giants. Their average
height Is over six feet-a few are seven
and one-half feet. a few fall below six feet.
The women are more corpulent and not so
tail. There Is no race In the world with
a more perfect physical development than
the ona Indians This is partly due to
the topography of the country and the dis
triDutlon of game, which makes long
marches across the country a necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attachments. In the past their sup
ply Of game has been plentiful and this
may account for the lack OF inventive gent
US among them. This lack of progressive
skill is portrayed in their home life. cloth
ing and homes. Their children suffer from
1t. For contrary to the practice common
among most Indians of feeding, dressing
and training the children WELL the Onas
little ones are mostly naked. poorly fed
and altogether neglected. They have abun-
dant material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes and yet they throw
few branches together, put skins over the
windward side and then shiver under the
miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made a study of
the subject say the language of the Onas
is the strangest ever listened to. Many of
the words are not difficult to pronounce,
nor is the construction of the sentences
d1fiicult but every few words are inter-
rupted by sound which it is impossible
to produce. The speaker hacks, coughs
and grunts, distorting his face in the most
inhuman manner, and then passes on to
the next stumbling block. The Onas live
principally upon meat, which in former
years was obtained from the guanaco
