FRIGHT soRERED Mr.. FOUNDER.
Late Home Goer Unduly Alarmed BY
Suspicious Character.

He climbed off the car out in East
Cleveland the other night, or, to he
exact, the other morning, and proceed
ed toward his modest little home
down a pretty side street.
AS soon as he reached the sidewalk
he tried to walk along the edge and
ascertain If he was still able to navi-
gate along a straight line.
I'm tn only man that WIZ in the
bunch t'night that en- walksh straight's
that" he muttered to himself, with
pardonable pride when he found that
(: ne could move along first-rate.'
A moment later he saw sUspi-
cious-looking man following him.
THAT fellesh goin' t. try t. rob
muh," he muttered He felt in his
trousers pocket and found only a
crumpled two-dollar bill, but it was
all he had left after the evenings enter
tainment. and he didn't want to
lose It, =,
Then he reflected that probably the
stranger following him wasn't think
ng of robbing him at all. But to
make sure that they didn't have any
rouble he crossed the street. A min
ate later he looked about. The man
behind him had crossed over, too.
Once again the man with the two
dollar bill crossed the street. He
hated to look around for a time, lest
his fears be substantiated. When he
did turn his head his pursuer was
not far behind him. He had crossed
the street again.
The man ahead clutched tightly his
two-dollar bill, dear to him because it
was all that remained Of what had
been roll the size of a blacksmith's
forearm, and started to cross over
once more, for he happened to think
that he lived on the other side of
The street anyhow, but he hadn't
reached the middle of the stirred
when he looked back and noted that
his pursuer was also crossing over
He stopped right there, pulled out
his twodol]ar bill and watch and held
them out toward the man behind him.
Here's all I've got, old man." says
he, now Perfectly sobered by his
fright. Take it, but lemme alone.

RACE NEARLY RUN

Estimate Made That Another Century
Will See the Last Of Perhaps
the Most Ignorant Peo-

Inc req ln0lan In this country tS uS

OF dying people, yet the Indians have
increased rather than diminished in
numbers during the last ten years
On the other hand, several important
races are swiftly passing out Of ex.

or these the most interesting Is
perhaps, the race Of aboriginal blacks
Of Australia and the islands close to
the smallest Of the worlds continental
masses of land. Scientists estimate
that another century will see the last

AS far as religious feelings go the
Australian black employs devil wor-
ship In its crudest form. The devil, or
"J1ngy." as the native term the evil
spirit, Is constantly avoided and the
curious fact that the black never stops
in any one camp for more than three
days is based on the supposition that
the devil is always on his track hunt
ing him. The number is the mystic fig

for each dead native in order to fool
"Jingy." The body is placed in the
middle grave upon a thick bed of
leaves and the knees are tied I'D
against the breast with lashings Of
tree boughs and the arms are crossed
over the breast.
The head is turned toward the cast

OF Australia can count up to three,
but beyond that his brain seems i'm
possible to lead.
The race is anything but a hand
some one, and is made even horrible
in appearance by reforming customs.
The women show the left shoulder
and breast, which has queer Jumps
OF flesh, nearly white in color.
When a girl child is born the
women take it and with sharp finite
cash the left shoulder and breast and
white sand is put into the wounds.
On healing these gashes turn almost
white and form hideous Jumps. Those
are the distinctive marks of beauty
and fashion for the woman black of
Australia.
With the males their prime orna-
ment Is to wear the thin splinter
