Tn. Deceased wifs's Sister.

The law against marrying a deceased
wife's sister. which caused SO much
discussion In England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbfdding IA
ther to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for q shilllngs Of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her IL she would not 50. As civil law
1t was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be
came supreme a misreading Of some
Scripture text was used TO put the
sister of mans wife among the pro,
hibited degrees OF relationship. This
was the act of 1541 C32 Henry vIID

wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin. London

Some kinds Of lizards break In two
when suddenly startled. In the bush
in Australia the traveller often comes
across number of these little silvery
reptiles basking on log or piece of
old bark. AS soon as they perceive
the invader there is a great commotion.
They dart hlther and thither so quick
ly that the eye can scarcely follow
their movements. The effects of the
shock are evident from the quantity Of
wriggllng tails lying about which have
been cast Off in the hurry, while the
nutllated owners may be seen scurry,
ing away to safety still wagging the
stumps that remain.

in their retreat Just in time to have them captured, the whole town and county turned out to do him honor, and with one voice they declared that the re- ward-$1 ,0O0-was to be paid to Andy Simpson and to nobody else. And Andy, somewhat against his will-for he had not worked with the reward in view was forced to consent to accept it.
 Well, If daddy's hand has to be ann putated on account of the wound we'll have something to go into business on," he said solemnly, shaking his curly head. But the only reward wanted was that that gang be caught and turned over to the law. And I hope all the money was found, so that it may be put back into the bank. If daddy's hand gets well and the law settles with the gang as they de serve being settled with-why. that's better than the reward"
 And Andy's father, who was present when his son made this statement, said: ''Andy, boy, Pm prouder of you than can tell. You've done that which 6 sheriff and posse failed to do-you ran to earth band of outlaws that was Q menace to the country"
 And from that day to this (which has been one year this month) Andy Simpson has been called the hero of Old Solitaire.
