mustard obtained its name in a remark
ably curious way. 1t is said that Philip,
Duke of Burgundy, granted to Dijon
some armorial bearings on which was
the motto, "MOult me tdrde."
This was later carved in stone arch
way of the city, but as the years went
by the central word became effaced. A
certain firm in the city was engaged
In the manufacture of sinapi, which
was the former name for mustard, and,
wishing to label its products with the
city arms, copied the incomplete motto.
Thus, ignorant people seeing the
name "mOult-tdrde" on the Jars. fell
into the custom Of calling the contents
by that title. In time "mout-tarde"
was contracted to moatarde (mustard) l..

Granted in Advance.

The young doctor who had lately SET
tied in Shrubville had ample opportu-
mites to learn humility, if nothing else,
in his chosen field.
One day he was hailed by an elderly
man. who requested him to step in
and see his wife, who was alling. AT
the close of his visit the young doctor
asked for a private word with the man
"Your wife's case is somewhat COM
plicated," he said, "and with your per-
mission 1 should like to call the Brook
field physician in consultation"
Permission !" echoed the man, indig-
nantly. 81 told her / knew she ought

WHAT A SHEEP DOG KNOWS.
He Can Tell Right Animals by Sight
and Smell.

and Smell.
What a herd dog has first to learn Is
to know every one of 200 or 300 sheep
and to know them both by sight and
smell, says a writer in Harper's Maga-
zine. This he does thoroughly. When
Watterson was running sheep on the
plains he had young collie not yet
put to the herd, but kept about the
pumping plant. AS the sheep came in
by hundreds to the trough the dog
grew so to know them that when they
had picked up stray from another
band he discovered 1t from afar off
and, daring as hornet, nipping and
yelping, parted it out from the band.
At that time no mere man would have
pretended, without the aid of the brand,
to recognize any Of the thousands that
bore 1t.
How long recollection stays by the
dog Is not certain, but at least a
twelvemonth, as was proved to Filon
Girard, after he had lost a third of his
band when the Santa Anna came roar
Ing up by Lone Pine with a cloud of
saffron-colored dust on its wings. After
shearing of next year, passing close to
another band, Fllon's dogs set them
selves unbidden to routing out of it,
and rounding with their own, nearly
twenty head, which the herder, being
an honest man, freely admitted he had
picked up on the mesa following after
Filon the spring before.
Quick to know the wlllful and unbid.
dable members of a flock the wise col.
lie is not sparing of bites and, follow
Ing after a stubborn stray, will often
throw it, and stand guard until help
arrives or the sheep shows a better
iuind. But the herder who has a dog
trained at the difficult work of nerding
range sheep through the chutes and
runways into boats and cars for trans
portatiOn is the fortunate fellow.
There was Pete's, dog, Bourdaloue
that at the Stockton landing, with nc
assistance, put 800 wild sheep from the
highlands on the boat in eight minutes
by running along the backs of the flock
until he had picked out the stubborn OF
stupid leaders that caused the sheep to
jam In the runway, and by sharp bites
SIT them forward, himself treading the
backs of the racing flock like the pre-
mere equestrienne of the circus, which
all the men of the shipping cheered to
sec.

CHEROKEE SLAUGHTER DAYS.
Quick Trigger Work Turns Court
Into Battlefield.

AAAeSCE w OFA
Into Battlefield.
Zeke Paris, the full-blood Cherokee
Indian, is one of the most noted char
acters in the history Of the Cherokee
nation and was always a terror to
evil-doers that infested that part of the
territory. He lives near TaleQuan, says
the New York World.
Paris was for eighteen years dep.
uty United States marshal and one of
the most noted hunters Of outlaws ever
produced. Under the tribal form of
Cherokee government he was the Off
cial hangman. Out Of the fourteen men
executed In that nation Paris hanged
eleven of them. He is a nephew oc
Zeke Proctor, one Of the most noted
man-slayers and killers the Indian Ter
ritory has ever produced.
One Of the worst characters Paris
had to deal with was Bald Christie,
brother of the notorious Ned Christie,
who was captured in the Rabbit Track
country Of the Cherokee nation after he
had stood off the deputies for mary
months and after he had killed several
officers. Bald Christie was captured
only after his cabin was blown up
with dynamite.
For years Christie defied the United
States marshals, roaming over the same
ground now the hiding place Of the

gorge by Zeke Paris and forced to
surrender. Tom Bearpaw was anoth-
er dangerous outlaw for Paris to han.
die, and before he was finally run IN
had killed eleven men. This outlaw
was followed thirty-one days ana
nights before he was captured, SEN
fenced and hanged.
One of the greatest fights that ever
occurred In the Cherokee nation was
that made by Zeke Proctor, an unc,e
Of Paris, at the Going Snake court
house, some years ago. Proctor was on
trial charged with the murder of an
Indian woman. He had killed the
woman, but it was accidental, she b.
ing shot by Proctor while the latter
was trying to kill her husband. An
Indian court was usually table under
tree.
At the trial the husband Of the dead
woman attempted to kill Proctor, but
the latter was quicker on the trigger.
This precipltated general fight, and
when the smoke had cleared away II
was found that fourteen persons had
been killed or wounded, including the
Judge Of the court juror and six dep
uty marshals.
Proctor himself was badly wounded
but managed to escape to the woods
He eventually recovered from his in.

whereby the Senate non-concurred with
the action of the House in the adoption
of House amendment 81.
Mr.. MERRILL: Mr.. President. as I
understand this matter the House has
voted to abolish Office of State binder.
The difference now is simply, at what
time this shall take effect. The House
has passed to amendment providing 1t
shall take effect on the first day of jan

son, If we are going to abolish the Of

once instead of waiting until 1909.
Mr.. MILLS of Hancock: Mr.. Presi-
dent: / trust we will not reconsider the
vote whereby we non-concurred with
the House. The proponents of the bill
have only asked that the bill take effect
in 1909. They have not requested to
have it take effect in 1909. They have
not requested TO have il take effect be-
fore that date. The incumbent is elect
ed for the period of two years, and if
we are going to do it at ALL we ought
not to abolish il until his term Of Office
should be referred to the next Legisla-
ture because there did not appear to be
any special demand before the commit
tee that the Office be abolished. No one
came before the committee at the first
hearing and at the second hearing one
man came before the committee and
asked that the Office be abolished and
then the man representing a binding
house, which I understood is a bank
rupt concern, or has been recently
came before the committee and testified
that the prices charged were high and
that is the only evidence we have.
