INDIAN PROVERBS.

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
Small things talk loud to the Indians
eye.
The paleface's arm is longer than his
word.
When a fox walks lame, the old rab.
bit jumps. ~, II.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There Is nothing so-eloquent as a rat
tlesnake's tail.
The Indian scalps his enemy. The
p~aleface skins his friends.
Two men Will live together In quiet
and friendship, but two squaws never.
When a mar pl;ays one day and steals
six, the Great Spirit thunders and the
evil one laughs.
There are three things 1t takes a
strong; mar to hoJd-a young warrior,
a wild horse and d handsome squaw.

JAPANESE INDIGNANT.
They Regard the Exclusion Bill Not
With Approval.


TOXIC, February 19.-The official text of
President Roosevelt's amendment Of the ex-
clusion bill has been published.
AS expected 1t has created the strongest
dissatisfaction among the interested par
ties, although the movements of procedure
have not yet assumed definite shape.
The Japanese residents of the Hawaiian
Islands have telegraphed President Roose-
Welt and the Hawaiian representatives in
the House indicating the seriousness of the
injury which will be caused to their rights
and interests by this legislation. The lead
ers Of opinion here are aware. however.
that under the circumstances the only al
tentative is to calmly resign themselves to
the situation. hoping that the government
can arrange with the American authori-
ties to reduce the sacrifice in the interest OF
japanese emigrants to a minimum.
They regret the new law lest the San
Francisco people. glorying IN their success,
should assume an 0verbearfng attitude.
News Of this kind would only tend to In
lure japanese susceptib:litfes. which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been specially careful
to avoid. Sheepish submission under OPP
preston Is something that the japanese
cannot entertain.

LETTERS TO BAssETT

READ IN oNAHA COURT.
se.ei.l ps.,stch to r. O..

speeial DISPATCH to IN ssR.
OMAHA, .Neb., February 19.-The most
intimate details Of turbulent married life
were brought out today n the continued
Of Mrs. Fannie Rice
Bassett in her divorce case. Scores Of let
ters she had written her husband, express
ing every graduation Of love. passionate
maternal. wifeiy, were read while the plain
tiff sat haughtily on the stand and glared
deiantly at her husbands counsel.
Neither Mr.. Bassett or Mr.. Fairchild ap-
peared in court today to brave the curiosity
Of great crowd that occupied every incn
Of space. Once the court threatened 10
clear the room when a general litter went
the rounds as an attorney by mistake ad-
dressed Mrs. Bassett as Mrs. Hunt.
Mrs Bassett identified all the letters that
were read They were indited to her hus7
band in the years following marriage. One
full of gushing expressions Of love referred
to Bassett as Curly head and called HIM
the dearest husband in all the world.
She said in it that she would rather be
your wife than have for a husband man
who Will keep me in the greatest luxury.
The fact was brought out that Mrs. Bas-
sett had been an extravagant wife and had
once been compelled to pawn her jewels
One of the letters showed that she had
borrowed money from Fairchilds In
money Mrs. Bassett borrowed to pay DEBT
of her own.
The Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt was faith
full friend according to Mrs. Bassett once
when she wished to go to New York to
consult an attorney concerning her troubles
with her husband the minister came to Al,
lantic City from Washington and cared
for her children until she returned. Bas-
sets lawyers tried to force the wife to
admit that she had received the money
for her hospital expenses when her nItn
child was born from Mr.. Hunt. but the
questions were ruled out by the court.
