BAD, BUT STILL o o

A judge from one of the English
African crown colonies, now home
on leave, is telling this story: 1t
is the custom in the local courts to
administer to the natives the form
of oath which they consider most
binding. One day a Christian colored
gentleman, of whose good faith the
judge entertained some doubts, was
about to give evidence. At his own
request he was allowed to take the
oath Of a Christian. Then the judge
intimated that he must also be
sworn in the native fashion. The
m6l was visibly disconnected. 90!

THE FARMER D

1t has been supposed that making
farm life easier would reduce the
tendency to morbid mental condi-
tons, says the Washington Times.
But, while the telephone and the
daily mail and the trolley have, of
course, solved some problems, in
recent years the difficulty of getting
farm help has with many people
c%ounteracted the benefits. There
has been the grinding necessity Of
staying at home and doing the work,
day and night and Sunday, years
without end, simply because nobody
could be hired to do it. The farmer
has been getting richer and more
independent, but he has at last, it is
suspected, become too independent.

FOUND REVOLUTIONARY GUN.

John Morgan and other fishermen
were surprised the other day when,
upon reaching shore, they found in
their net an old fintlock gun. The
brand shows the gun to be of Eng
fish make, and it was no doubt used
in the revolutionary war or some of
the colonial wars.
A silver plate on the gun is as
bright, seemingly, as if it had been
placed there but yesterday. The
flint had been placed and the ham
mer drawn back in readiness for fir
ing.
The gun was found near the
mouth of Toussaint creek, a few
miles west of the state rifle range,
and is in a remarkably good state of
preservation, considering the length
of time it has probably lain in the
water.-Port Clinton Correspond

THE A HARlTANT.

The rural population of French
Canada is unlike that of any other
country. The habitant is the result
of peculiar conditions.
Transplanted originally from the
north of France, the stock has been
modified and transformed by the
environment of the new world. 1t
retains the simplicity and poetic
temperament of the old stock, COM
bined with a measure of the vigor
and self-reliance Of pioneer life.
And, with it all, remarks a CORE
spondent of the nation, in an appre-
ciative tribute to the patois poetry
of the late DR.. William Henry
Drummona, the habitant remains to
this day almost untouched by the
influence of modern civilization, liv-
ing his life in his own sufficient way,
oblivious of many things that the
rest of us think indispensable.

BEFORE FAME ARRIVED.

Signor Puccini says when he was
writing his first opera de Villa"
he lived for four months on credit
at a little restaurant called the Aida,
in a Stun in Milan.
'My dinner usually consisted of
a piece of badly cooked meat and a
cup of more or less sour wine, |
can still recall the half ashamed
manner in which | used to tell the
waiter to chalk up the bill, and then
| sneaked out of the place because l
had no money for a tip. And l can
also recollect my humble diggins,
where | tried to exist on the few
francs a week allowed me by the
government as a charity pension.
Two or three of us lived together.
and we often had to pawn our I'M
brellas and overcoats and boots in
order to get a little ready money for
immediate requirements"

WAR ON OLD HORSES
British Columbian Ranehmen Forced
In Self-Defense to E%xtermlnate

Ranchers, timber cruisers and
prospectors along the Washington
boundary have gone into the hills of
southern British Columbia to round
up several bands of wild horses

latiye assembly of the province

tifying horse owners so that tame
animals could be claimed.
Range riders say there are more
than 1000 wild animals in the
bands.
The nucleus of the herd was
formed early in the fifties, veteran
frontiersmen say, when the explor-
ers and prospector5 rode on horse
back from eastern and southern
states. Many Of these pioneers
persisted in the search for gold, but
their horses survived.
When the gold fever was at its
5eieht in the Cariboo district, in the
sixties, many horses were brought

well-dedned roads it was the easiest

ADVISED A HAIR CUT

"Iondon is a true bohemia for

HE WANTED REAL MONEY
slean New Sheets of Bills Did Not
Look Like the Real Thing
to Him.

The National Bank of Sabetha
gets its paper money from the gov
eminent in large sheets. After the
bills are signed by the officers of the
National Bank Of Sabetha each bill
is cut off with a pair of scissors and
the paper becomes currency.
Some time ago Jason Mailman
went over into Missouri to buy a
farm. Desiring to have the money
in convenient form, he got the bank
bills in the large uncut sheets. He
went to Missouri and everything
went smoothly. Negotiations for the
farm with the old farmer were soon
completed, and when it came time
for Mailman to hand over the
money he pulled out a couple of
sheets of bills. Getting a pair of
scissors from the farmers wife he
began to cut off the bills with which
to make the purchase. The farmer
looked at the operation, mouth open
and eyes bullying. After Mailman
had cut off a few of the bills the
farmer stopped him.
"Now hold on here, brother" he
said, 81 want you to know that l

The payment was soon made in
hnother way, and Waltman brought
fhe sheets back to Sabetha with him.

THE STOVE DID 1T.

The details of a tragedy in an up
town apartment-house are just com
ing to light. One day a number of
the Other fat-dwcllers noticed smoke
issuing from the windows of a sec
ond-foor apartment; the people in
the flat above saw tiny lines of
smoke coming through little cracks
in the floor Of one of their rooms
everybody was frightened, but no
sound came from the smoking
apartments. Down the stairs rushed
the upstairs jewellers, too frightened
to wait for the elevator; some car
rled a few valuables, two carried
canary birds; pandemonium reigned
as the upper floors gave forth their
quota of frightened inhabitants
reused by the cry of fire.
On the second fiat stood the fa-
ther of the family which had its
Lares and Penates in the burning
apartment. He was waving his
hand amicably at the descending
crowd, looking so benign that every
body thought at once that the mis-
fortune had turned his head.
Its all right; don't be fright
ened. Our stewed tomatoes got
burned that's all"
