the rOn-uSe OF request DOORS, 4iOt Ndi-
ceiling labels and such things, but that
there never was a trial and that was
as lar as the matter ever got.
Mr.. Sanders testified that he had a
direct offer from Mr.. Warren Tor
division OF pay il he would vote Tor
Warren. and that an effort was made
to get him to vote for Ratlleld on
condition that his brother be made
a clerk. He declined to have anything
to do with such offers, and Nj. Kat
field swore that me was not a party
to such a proposition.
The first witness This morning was
Dispenser Windflam, who does not
seem to be fond of talking and who
on1v answers what he is asked. He
was examined by Mr.. Fraser Lyon,
who conducted the entire examlna-
ton during the Sumter session, with
much satisfaction. Dispenser Wlnd-
ham was asked If any Of the whlskey
or wine houses shipped him directly.
He said he received only few COM
nlinentary cases, but no shipment OF
stock goods was made him. He was
quite sure no goods had been shipped
him directly. Mr.. Lyon showed him
a bill of lading for three cases OF VINE
from Garrett & CO. to make up loss
in shipment. There was a letter rela-
tive to a shipment of five barrels to
DISPENSER Windhar direct from
Weldon. This, he claimed, was not
shipped him personally, but was ship
ped him for the dispensary and was
so billed.
Mr.. Windham's Bad Memory.
He remembered Mr.. L. w. Boykln,
now member of the board, when ne
was an inspector. He represented
some liquor house, but he did not re-
member the house Mr.. Boykin repre-
sented. He did not remember II he
represented the Acme Brewing COM
oany or the Westmoreland liquor.
Then Mr.. Lyon led up to the alleg-
ed $1,000 proposition for campaign
fund and asked Mr.. Windham:
Do you remember whether he rep
resented some beer or whiskey houses
when he was inspector?
Yes, he represented one house, l
don't remember the house and l don't
think I handled any OF the goods he
represented.
You don't remember anything about
the Westmoreland Club whiskey:
T remember that brand Of wh1skey.
Don't YOU remember his represent
ing that? =,
I can't say that I do. I have sold
some OF the Westmoreland whiskey'
but don't remember whether he repre-
sented it or not.
You don't recollect that he repre-
sented the Acme Brewing company
of Macon?
No. I don't remember whether he
did or not.
Do YOU recall Mr.. Boykin coming to
Sumter while he was representing
those whiskey houses and requesting
vou to put in an order with the Acme
Brewing company for the reason that
the Acme Brewing company was TO
furnish $1,000 for the election OF Mr.
l. 7. Williams, if he should run TOR
governor: ,
No, I don't remember anything OF
that kind.
Didn't Mr.. Boykin have a CONVEX
sation with you in regard to tAat'
No, 7 didn't think so. I have no
recollection OF that conversation.
You heard of that being done, dld
you not:
No. it is news to me.
You handle the Acme Brewing
company's beer here:
Yes, a great deal OF it.

was a candidate and in telling of his

Curious Ga uses of Sleep.

Scientists disagree as to the cause or .rQwsiness. Some curious and remark able reasons are assigned for the de- ire everybody has for sleeping. It is attributed by some people to an ac- emulation in the system of the poi sonOus products of the wear and tear of the body during the day. There seems to be some measure of truth in this, for in many disease the patients are often sleepless.
 Another hypothesis is that the nerve cells of the brain dwell apart from each other, as it were, during sleep The brain is composed of millions of tiny bodies called cells, each having several delicate prolongations, or branches, for the purpose of communi- eating with other cells. When the brain is fully active all these cells are in contact or ready to be in con- tact, with one another, but the time occasionally comes, it is thought, when the branches of all the cells curl up, and their isolation means that com plete communication between the cells ceases. The state of body and mind that follows is what is called sleep.
 The most probable explanation of sleep, however, is that in some way or other the internal condition of the cells is changed, partly from exhaus' tion and partly because of diminished stimulation from other parts of the body.

Tho TOyland of the World.

A TOkio correspondent of an Ameri- can weekly has much of interest to say of Japanese toys. Japan is the original toyland. I really think that Santa Claus must have branch es- tablishment in Tokio. There are me- chanical toys that go about as if they were alive-tin turtles walking around on the earthen floor, mice scampering under counters and around on the shelves, huge gorgeously-colored paper butterflies and dragon-flies buzzing around in the air. There are no toy carriages in Japan, because in Japan there are no real carriages. But there are toy jinrikishas, which are little two-wheeled carts pulled by little brown men under great big mushroom shaped hats instead of by horses. And there are toy cages, which are the odd est kind of grown-up cradles, that two men carry, suspended from long bam- boo poles, upon their shoulders, and in which grown-up folks have to sit, curled up Turk-fashion, until their feet go to sleep and they are forced to de- mand the privilege of getting down and walking. These are the carriages of Japan and, as toys, would probably puzzle the average little boy or girl at hOme."

subservisnt to the Master.

Even in these days of gallantry, a woman Is constantly reminded of her old inferior position in the eyes of the "lords of creation" The word "lady," which Is supposed to be so complimentary, means "one who serves bread"-a waitress, nothing more nor less; 20 that when you address countess even as My lady," you are simply saying the equivalent of "my waitress" "Wife" is another word for weaver" the woman who weaves her lords and her children's raiment "Spinster" Is, of course, spinner" a word reminiscent of the days when girl had to spin her complete out fit of house linen before she was fit to be a wife; and Mrs" is an abbrevia- ton of masteress, the most flattering description of all, and yet showing that woman derives her position solely from her master.

HIGHEST OF ALL ReDsklNA
Osage Tribe of Indians Are Called the

Osage Tribe of Indians Are Called the
 Wealthiest People on Earth.
 Much has been written about the wealth of the Osage Indians. These fortunate people as tribe are per haps the richest people on earth.
 To begin with, they have something like $S,000,000 on deposit with the United States government. This large sum is drawing good rate of inter- est, sufficient to give each member of the tribe $164 per annum. They also have about 1,000,000 acres of land, which, in view of the immense fields of gas and oil now being developed, Is worth at conservative estimate $5 an acre. This augments their money holdings $S000,00O and gives q grand total of $16,O0O,0OO. If this sum should be divided equally among the 1913 living Osages, each would have $6272.S5.
 Besides the regular annuity derived from interest on funds on deposit, each Osage gets considerable sum of money received from the annual rent als of the tribal pastures. To this is now being added that of oil and gas royalties. The full value of this item is difficult to arrive at, from the fact that frequent new developments aug ment the monthly revenue from this source. At this time the tribe Is draw ing something like $12,000 monthly from oil and gas royalties, or about $75 per capita per annum, amounting in all to nearly $25O year which each Osage receives as his pro rata share of the income from their tribal funds.
 Aside from this, the Osage Journal reports that there are many members of the tribe who have private fortunes of considerable volume. These private holdings ranged from the common farm home, equipped with the ordinary con- veniences and comforts of life, to pa latial mansions and live stock and oth- CT personal property holdings valued at many thousands of dollars. More than a dozen Osage Indians are rated as owning property valued at from $10,- 900 to $20,000 or more, and several of them have commodious country homes, containing from ten to twenty rooms. These persons are not all mixed blOOds, but a number of them are full-bloOded Osages, who have by their own indus try and thrift added to their original patrimOny.-Kansas City Journal.
