The Law and the Rascal.

The millionaire caught in a trap is
no different from the ordinary culprit
when nabbed by a policeman. He
evades, he lies, he shifts his position,
he will commit perjury to escape. And
the rich scoundrel, like the poor one,
will try to cast discredit upon those
responsible for his downfall.
No thief e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
We sincerely believe that 95 per
cent of all the banks and big corpor-
atoms are managed with utmost
fidelity. This grand majority know
exactly where to put the blame for
every rascally act on the part of the
slim minority. And it will avail the
few crooked high financiers nothing
to go on preaching that most idiotic
doctrine about the White House being
responsible for their own misdemean-

cation. One i, Severity Cut

AS the result of an alteration
which arose at the Powers home
in Ewington township, just over
tho line in Jackson county, last
Saturday, between Geo. Uden, son
OF Henry Uden, and Orville Ander-
son, the former received four severe
stabs in the arm. body and face.
DIR. Henry Weidow was called early
Sunday morning to attend the in
jured man, and it took the doctor
thres hours to sew him up and
dress his injuries. The young
man nearly bled to death, and for a
time was in a critical condition,
but at last report he was in fair
way to recovery. His injuries we're
of a very serious nature. One cut
extended across the face, another
severed the biceps of the left arm
and another slashed the same arm
for several inches from the
shoulder down.
Very little could be learned as to
the cause of the trouble, but it is
said to have been over some love
affair. The two had been good
friends up to the time of the fracas.

when roasting sheep whole, as on the

freely in a socketed peg, while the
other, overhanging the water, is equip

anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem Of royal
ty, the sign Of Il H. JAN, so natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
a rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not part OF the
dress, but protection from the rain
or sun. Il necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might
as we'll ask European to take or
his waterproof coat. \ cody is not
bound to fold his umbrella when a
brigadier general rides past. But
mental generally closes down the UNI
brella on seeing his master, whom he
considers his king. But no Indian,
however humble, ought to fold up the
umbrella, even before a magistrate, be-
cause he is neither the master Of the
humble passerby nor his superior of1i-
Ger, nor is he bound to salaam him.
But if he does. no harm. In word,
natives generally fold the umbrella
before master or a superior officer
and not any other citizen, however
great, and this is no insult.
While. going to see native chief in
his palace TIVE native visitor or Official
takes of h; shoes If the reception
room has iAraSh and the rajah Is sit
ting on his muSnud. But If he is re-
ceived in the drawing room, furnished
after the European style, the shoes
are allowed. Tn some states no ma
tives can 90 to a rajah without pu-
gree. In others the pugrce Is taken
off and tossed at the feet Of rajah.
It is ridiculous in European from
the Hindoo point Of view to order
native to take off his shoes. This is
what we ask our priest to do, 80 that
we may touch the dust OF his feet
