Weather that would have done jan

pie of Wayne county and particularly
of Richmond, during the month of
Mayt Instead of the mean tempera-
ture ranging near seventy degrees, as
has generally been the case in years
past, the mean temperature for the
month was -56' degrees 1t at all times
was rather risky undertaking for peo-
pie TO venture out without an over

ways changing. and for this one rea-
son. was probably more severe than If
it had remained about a certain point
during the entire month. The mean
maximum temperature for the month
was Gs.2 and the mean minimum ASS.
The highest maximum was May %.
when the Thermometer reached 81. and
the minimum on the 9Th when it sank
TO 30 degrees.
The Total Precipitation.
The total precipitation for the month
was three and forty two hundredths of

was on the 18th. when eighty eight
hundredths of an inch fell There
was no snow during the entire thirty
one days. There were eleven days
when more than one one-hundredth of
an inch of rain fell.
When it is said that only five of the
thirty-one days of the month were alb

hard To believe. but such is the case

Professor Reveals Color of Men.

Philadelphia.-Dr Ranke of the Ger
man Anthropological society has re.
Gently undertaken to describe the
physical characteristics of the earliest
men, as ascertained from the examina
ton of prehistoric graves. They were,
according to DR.. Ranke, of yellOwish
color, and had coarse hair. Their
heads were peculiarly shaped the part
of the skull that contains the brain
being large relatively to the face, while
the face itself was small. They had
other peculiarities, among which was
the rudlmentary or undeveloped cOndi'
ton of the third molar. or back grinder
tooth. The doctor believes that the
first men originated in Asia.

r POSTMASTERS.
!. CT zion Prevails In Many
Miss: ssippi Counties.

Jackson, MiSs--L. B. Moseley, feder-
nj patronage referee for Mississippi, is
having a hard time finding applicants
for fourth-class post Offices at the
smaller towns of the state. This sim
gular state of affairs in common
wealth where the Office has never
been known to seek the man, but gen
orally dozen or so men are hot on
the trail of the Office, is we'll nigh un-
believable, but it is nevertheless a cold
blOoded fact. Mr.. MOseley has several
pies to distribute, and there are more
slices than eaters.
There must be some reason for this
condition of affairs, of course, and it
is attributed to the fact that Mississ-
ippians are too prosperous to bother
with fourth-class postmasterships that
persons who are qualified for the
places, chiefly country storekeepers,
find that personal business affairs COM
mand their entire time and attention,
and they don't care to look after I'm
Gle Sans post Offices merely as a
matter of accommodation, and when
the salary or fees do not justify a
performance of the work.
Whenever a vacancy is about to oc-
cur, however, having salary attached
that is worth while there are always
plenty of patriots who are willing to
sacrifice their personal affairs to see
that the government mail is properly
forwarded and delivered.
1t is only the smaller offices that go
begging, and frequently Commissioner
Moseley is compelled to write letters
that are we'll nigh heart rending to
incumbents appealing to them to ac'
cept another term in the service of
Uncle Sam.
A year of so ago the government
refused to allow negro postmaster
up in Madison county to resign, as
there was no person in the commun-
ity willing to take the place, and the
inspector threatened to prosecute him
if he abandoned the Office. The negro
is still holding on to the job he doesn't
want, and fears that the government
will send troops after him if he makes
another attempt to quit.

GIVEN DOLLAR BILLS
HOW CANADIAN ND ms RE.
CEiVE THEIR ALLOWANCES
Agent Distributes S2co,oco Among
Tribesmen Each Year but Carries
Only $30,OCC-How He
Does It,

Seattle, WaSh.-SeVcral years ago
The Canadian government took from
the tribes of Indians about Athabasca
lake and river a large tract of land
and in payment for the same it gives
each year five dollars to each Indian
and $25 to the chiefs in one dollar
bills
The reason for this is that the In
dians dwelling in the district do not
know the value of money. A paper
dollar looks to him about the same as
blank piece of paper to baby.
Should the payment be made in sill
yer, the simple minded child of the
wilderness would punch hole in it
and wear it about his neck and thus
a great deal of money would be taken
from circulation. Should payment be
made in one dollar bill the Indian is
liable to lose it.
Once each year representative of
the Canadian government makes a
trip through the country and pays the
Indians. On this trip he takes $500
i'll one dollar bills and will probably
Pay out more than $200,000 The
natural question from civilization is,
How does he do it?
AS the Indian knows nothing about
the value of money his method of
financial trade is on the value of
skins. Everything he buys is reckoned
by skins, and when one talks dollars
to him, his face has the expression of
a blank cartridge. Fortunately for the
government, the Hudson Bay COM
pany has secured the entire conf
dence of the Indians during the cen
tury of dealing with them, and the
money paid to the Indians finds it's
way into the trading posts of the COM
pany.
Here is how the government pay
master does his phenomenal stunt of
paying 100000 or more with only
$4,000 in his pocket. He goes direct
TO district inhabited by perhaps q
900 or 5000 Indians; here he will pay
from $4,000 to $4,000 in treaty
money" Each Indian and his family
is given the five one dollar bills in
payment for his surrender of the land.
and each chief his $25.
After making this payment the pay
master takes rest for short time at
the Hudson Bay post nearest the pay
station Within a few days the In
dans have made a line to the post
and there purchased whatever looks
good to them. They whack the money
down on to the trading post counter,
order something worth perhaps so
cents and leave. The company agent
charges the red man with what he has
purchased and credits him with the
balance of the five dollars, so that in
the future he can trade out the re,
minder of the amount
Within a week from the date of
paying the treaty money every dollar
of the amount has been paid into the
trading post. The paymaster gives the
post agent a check for the amount and
starts for the next Indian settlement.

ASSESSORS ARE INSTRUCTED
Stale Tax Commission Rules On
Bank Assessments

In an important opinion equivalent
to instructions to assessors of the state,
the state tax commission has laid down
the rule for the assessment OF private
banks. instructing the assessors in act
ing in conformity with the law OF 1897
relative to private bank assessments.
to assess an amount equivalent to gen.
eral average Of money used by the Sri-
vate bank and to fix an arbitrary as
sessment if the necessary information
was withheld by the banker.
The 1897 statute was rendered some
what ambiguous by the law passed by
the last legislature exempting money
and mortgages. but the tax commits
sion holds that 1t Is not designed to
assess the money Of the banks but to
fix an amount upon the tangible as
sets Of the bank equivalent to the gen.
eral average Of money used. The term
private banks is used to designate an
unincorporated institution with no
fixed capital stock.
The opinion of the tax commission Is
further made interesting by the fact
that Commissioner j. f. Frost. while
agreeing with the argument Of the
other members. dissents for the reason
that he believes the 1907 law exempt
ing money from taxation is uncOnsti-
tutioral and void.

That automobiles may be rented by

appeared on the streets last Saturday,
with Il load of passengers and was ar
rested for violation Of the ordinance.
The testimony showed the Prestons
have one automobile which carried a IL

duty similar to that Of a cab about
town and that this one was chartered
TO take the party out to College place.
The argument made by the defense
that if such q vehicle We're made to pay
q license every livery rig in the city
would also be liable. was thought to be
reasonable by the judge after he had
looked up the legal authorities on the
question. hence his discharge of Law
