CALLED JUDGMENT OF GOD.
Theirs Death at Hands of Child
Whose Parents He Had Robbed.

The New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Budapest sends it
the following account of a recent
tragedy in the village of Kaposvar,
Hungary:
Janos Verga, stock farmer, sold
some oxen for 900 crowns and con-
cealed the money in his house.
Ferenez Gal, a ne'er-do-well of the
village, knew of this transaction and
determined to get the money. He
watched the house until he saw
Varga and lis wife leave it. Then
he entered and had no difficulty in
finding the money, which he peck
eted.
AS he was about to leave he no.
ticed sitting in corner, staring ST.
lently and intently at him, the Vargas
six-year-old daughter. Realizing that
she had watched his theft, he deter
mined to get rid of this witness
against him. He threw rope over a
beam in the ceiling and tied moose
in one end of it. Picking up the little
girl, he tried to persuade her to put
her head into the moose, saying it was
a nice game.
''How?" she asked.
'TlI show you,' said the robber,
laughing.
Gal put down the little girl, drew up
a chair. stood upon it and put his
head through the moose.
Like. this" he said, again laugh
ing, is if it was all game he was
playing with the girl.
The child pulled the chair away
suddenly; the robber fell, his neck
in the moose and was strangled to
death.
The child watched her victims
death struggles until they ceased,
then went outside to await for her
parents. When they returned she
took them to the room where the
dead thief still dangled and told
them in great glee what had taken
place. The 900 crowns were found
in the pockets of the robber and the
six-year-old child is now the heroine
of the village, where the event is
called Judgment of God"

Fine Health In Open Air.

The healthiest persons In the world

living out OF doors They never go
to bed with the draft blowing over
them, but have free circulation around
them, yet protected from rain and

Value Of the Thumb,

Solomon says thumbs up" because
the thumb is said to be worth fully
one-third the entire value Of the hand.
The different fingers are far from
having all the same value before the
eyes Of the law. Much Of the i'm
portance among them is the thumb,
for without It the hand no longer is q
pincers but merely . claw. The
French court allows in damages Is to
35 per cent. value for the right and
ten to Is per cent for the left thumb.
The Austrian schedule gives from 10
per cent. for the left to 35 per cent.
for the right. In Germany 20 to 20
per cent. and even as high as 1873 per
cent, has been awarded The per-
centage Is based on 100 as the total
value of the hand, industriously
speaking, before the accident.

ARAB sTEEDs SANS SPOTS.
Man Fresh from Desert Shattered FOND
Tradition of Circus.

Homer Davenport, who is described
IN the woman's Home Companion as
fresh from the Arabian desert de-
clares there Is no such thing as a
spotted or piebald Arabian steed.
"Circuses are perhaps more to
blame for the Misrepresentation OF
the Arab horse than any other source, -
says he. "A friend of mine owns a
circus, and | saw his posters a few
years ago, claiming to exhibit Is or
20 of the only Arabian horses brought
to America
He said they were captured with
great difficulty and brought to New
York by a special permit of the sui
tan; that they were of the family
known in history as the Eagle Feath-
ers horses, so mitch priced in the
Queen of Sheba days; that they were
snow white. with big markings in
their spots of the tip of eagle feath'
ers.
I'VE don't have to believe every
thing we read on the circus posters
In this case am mighty certain these
spotted Arabians' were bought at Al
bany, Ore.
The most peculiar part of this spot
fed horse business is this. and it Is
not a very strange reason when you
know 1t, that spotted anything is ere
ated by mixture of different races
OF different breeds, and that likely ac
counts for the fact that the Arabian
desert in all it's history has never pro
duced a spotted or piebald horse; pos
sibly from the fact that there is never
any mixture of blood
