LITTLE INDIAN KINGDOM.

Nawanagar, the state over which he
will reign, Is a little Indian kingdom,
under British protection, situated I'm
the peninsula OF kathawar about 200
miles to the north ~ Bombay. It's area
Is $3.50 square miles, and its popula-
ton $4,000. The capital, seaport OF
the same name, has q population of
$4,000 When Ranj wants to play at
soldering he can amuse himself with
"A native army OF 5000 men.
The state was founded In 1885 by Jam
Rawal, whose descendants held the
throne until 1914. Then his widow
adopted Ranmnlji who became Jam,
and was In turn succeeded by his son
Nibhajl. vibhaji was a much married
man. rejoicing IN round bakers dozen
OF legitimate wives, but none OF them
succeeded In bearing him an heir who
survived infancy. In 1855, he added 20
his seraglto three Mohammedan sisters
the eldest OF whom. year later, bore
him son. Although this son. KalOobhai,
was recognized by the British govern
ment as the heir-apparent, the natives
maintained that only the offspring 90
one OF the legal wives had any rigs
TO succeed 10 the throne. When Kn-
loobhal grew to manhood he saved the
situation by conspiring against his
father and was consequently deposed
and expelled from the country. once
again the jam was heirless In despair he
adopted an infant. who. following the
fatal precedent of his predecessors, died
In two years. Babies. apparently, have
far better chance Of surviving IN the
vllest Of London slums than IN the pal
ace OF Jam.
CHOSE YOUNG NEPHEW.
Instead OF taking unto himself an
other wife, Vibhaj decided that II
would be less troublesome TO adopt an
heir again. This time his choice fell on
hls nephew Ranjitslnhji, then a sturdy
youngster eight years old. Recognizing
that as prospective Jam the boy
would stand slender chance reaching
maturity amid the plots and in-igues
OF the palace. Vibhajl sent him to
RaJkumar college to receive his rudi-
mentary education and truining from
English teachers. Here the lad ac-
quired that taste for cricket which WAS
destined TO make him far more famous
than any other member OF the long line
or Jampot rulers. But in 1852. two
| years after RanNtsinhji had entered
haJkunar college, another OF the Ma
hoinmedan tiers gave birth 90 a son
IN the seraglO. Subsequently the nd
Jam quarreled with his brother, Ranjrs
Iatner, which eventually led him to
set aside Ran1ls succession In favor Of
/ MS own son. The dIsinherited Ranji,
meanwhile had been sent to Cambridge
university. where. fortunately for him.
ihoush by no means n duffer at his
books he displayed far greater aptitude
LOT cricket than for literature

after Ranji had been first nc
