A Dangerous Man.


copyright, 1907, by q, d, DAniels.l
The colonel commanding the military
post Of Ghoorka, III the province Of
Nepal, India, had heard Of the strange
doings Of Ram Lal up In the Hima-
laya mountains TO the north. Ever
since the great mutiny the British in
India have been vigilant to suppress
any native seeking to be conspicuous
In way to appeal to popular super.
stition. Queer tales we're told about
Ram LaI. He had suddenly appeared
among the people, coming from no one
knew where, and be had performed
miracles. He had made 5000 people
believe that be was a god.
When things began 70 get bit seri-
ous, the colonel dispatched a detach-
ment Of cavalry with orders TO bring
Ram Lal into Ghoorka. he did not
run away when he heard OF their COM
ing. On the contrary, he met the rid
ers two miles out of the hill town
where he made bis headquarters and
waited for them on the banks OF a
creek. 1t was midsummer, and the
bed Of the stream was almost dry.
Ram Lal took his station on knoll a
few yards away from the stream, and
as the cavalry came up to cross he
stopped them with a wave Of his hand
and said;
you have come for me. Your sahib
colonel says that am a fraud and a
cheat, and you would take me to
Ghocrka and expose me. yeVyrwelA I
will CO."
When Ram Iaf was brought out the
colonel said to him;
81 have heard about you and your
doings. You are a fraud and an Inn.
postoh Your so called magic is all
nonsense. and ! am going to expose you
here and now and then have you whip
ped or the grounds

Wishes was the humble reply.
A fine big horse bought for the artil-
lery six months before had been found
utterly useless. owing TO his vicious
temper. He could not be harnessed,
and he could not be saddled. He had
killed two men and injured three. No
one would have him at any. price, and
while waiting on red tape TO dispose Of
the animal somehow he was kept chain
ed in stable. After the colonehhad
addressed Ram Lal the horse was
brought out. There were ropes around
his neck and four men hanging to the
free ends. The horse reared, kicked,
squealed and flung himself about and,
pointing to him, the colonel said:
eff you are a magician you can quiet
that East
Gram Lal called out some strange
words, and the horse dropped to his
four feet and whlned and stood with
ears working. The men were hidden
to let him loose, and at nod from tie
colonel they complied.

AUTOMOBILE DRIVING.


Since the season for sutomobiling
seems to have arrived, although late,
and inasmueh as the Legislature Of Yer
mont has tinkered with the law regulat-
ing the running Of motor vehicles after
the last season, it may be well to call
attention to some OF the changes
wrought BY the tinkerers. Perhaps the
most important section Of the amended
statute is that relating to limiting the
speed Of the cars. Under the new ar
rangements Automobiles are practically
put on their honor in the matter of
speed. The law states that mo motor
vehicle shall be run on public way or
private way laid out under authority Of
statute in d careless or negligent man.
ner. This applies to the use Of the ma.
chimes operated in cities or incorporated
villages. OF course, the determination
Of what shall be careless or negligent
manner does not finally devolve upon
the notorist himself but upon the au-
thorities, but it is reasonable to believe
that all due measure Of latitude viii be
permitted by the authorities. To meet
this liberality 1t behooves the motorists
to exercise discretion and care in oper-
ating. Careless and negligent driving
may be possible even under the ten
mile an hour limit Of the old law, de-
pending wholly upon the conditions,
whether the street has blind entrances
whether It Is q crowded thoroughfare
OF not, whether narrow or wide. All
these things must be taken into con-
sideration by the driver Of the motor
car, and in the first instance the new
law places the responsibility on him. In
the country districts it imposes set
limit Of 25 miles an hour.
There is nevertheless power confer
red on local authorities to make such
speed limits as they see fit, subject to
appeal TO the state highway commissioner
and this, too, makes it incumbent on
the motorists for their own freedom Of
movement, that they exercise care
Another important requirement Of the
statute provides that q registration fec
Of SO shall be imposed for each vehicle
of twenty horse power or less and So
for each vehicle of more than twenty
horse power. The operators fee is two
dollars. Arrests for violation of the
provisions Of the law can be made with
cut warrant and olrenses are punishable
either by fine or imprisonment,
The use OF automobiles in this Vi.
cinity promises to be considerably more
general than usual this summer and tn,
familiarity with the provisions Of Tho
law viii therefore be all the more nee
essary. The best advice to both tow
authorities and users Of the cars is Il
be reasonable.

SMALL Pox QUARANTINE.

Small pox, unrestrained, is not q
pleasant thing to contemplate. There
fore, it win please the people Of the
state to see the quarantine lines at
West Berlin drawn taut as possible
during the next few weeks. If any peo-
pie try To break the quarantine regula,
tions, let them be made to answer fol
it. The health Of the entire people il
worth more than the convenience Of one
or two, or even more, individuals. Re
cognizing that fact, let's live up to ths
quarantine.

the animals back, and the Lad rode
about for FIVE minutes

colonel, 'sand he win not He viii be-
the most obedient Of horses in the fu-
turen
There were murmurs of establishment
md admiration from the soldiers and
the natives, and the colonel ground his
teeth with vexatlon. Instead of dis
gracing Ram Lal he had been made
an object Of ridlcule. The major gt
the post had an English bulldog that
had to be kept chained up most Of the
time. lie would permit a few native
servants to approach him, but the
presence OF a stranger would make him
furious He was brought out and halt
cd for couple Of minutes within ten
feet of Tho magician. He flew into d
passion at once. Indeed, the man pro
voked him by gestures and taunts
When the chain was slipped, every liv-
ing man on the ground expected to see
the native torn to pieces. The dog
sprang forward with good intent. but
of d sudden the man was not there,
1t seemed as IL the earth had swallow
ed him at gulp The dog ran about
looking for him for moment and then
dropped his tail and began to whine
Then Ram Ial was seen again. He
took the dog by the tail and dragged
him around. He stood with his foot
on him. He beat him with stick
and sent him to his kennel In abject
fear.
There was great shout Of admira-
tion, and the colonel became white
faced with anger. In q voice vibrating
with passion be ordered sergeant's
guard to load their carbines and step
to the front Then, turning to Ram
Lal, he said:
lyon who can do such great things
should not fear the bullets Of my
troopers"
Surely, no. was the reply.
Il shall order these men to nre on
you"
VERY well"
The troopers were making ready
when tho colonel was suddenly missed.
Thousands had SEED him standing
there. and now thousands looked for
him in vain. The frlag party was or
dered back into the ranks, and the
multitude was hushed when the colo
mel was seen at the other end OF the
parade ground.
There were no more experiments.
Ram Lal went back to bis hill town,
but few days later he disappeared.
He was not kidnapped and imprisoned
or murdered, but with a large sum Of
British gold IN his pocket be left the
country forever. He had been bought

SAM SCHENCK IS
GOOD SAMARITAN

The unusual spectacle of police
board giving veteran officer a chance
to make a final effort to reform was
seen last night at the city hall.
Latham Edwards, formerly a SER
geant, through worrying over being de-
rated for no openly made charges, per-
mitted liking for drink to interfere
with his work and he lost his job. He
put in an application for reinstate-
ment. making manly Acknowledgements
of errors, but promising to sin no more.
Commissioner Sam Schenck, who has
seen a dozen friends aided by certain
course of treatment which conquers
the craving for liquor-none of the old,
exploited cures--told Edwards last
night he would agree to see that ne
took this treatment If he cared to.
Edwards accepted the offer with
thanks.
on that promise the board reinstated
him, superior officers giving their con-
sent.

There are forty-seven In all and the
collection is the most artistic that has
ever been offered at any of the exhi-

cups with one handle, cups with two

all in the purest silver.
The small boy with bag of candy
in one hand and tattered cap in the
other loudly proclaimed his choice to
the world at large, while slender high
school students expressed their prefer

Amateur photographers, oblivious to
the fact that the entire north end of

glass front of the store, snapped their
kodak shutters and then rushed home
to develop reproductions of what ap-
peared to be street scenes; the cups
