~ SAD EXPERIENCE,
kafir Lad Found Out Just What a
Beating Meant.

Just as Kafir is slow in locating
rain which is being experienced in his
own body, SO is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering. A grown
up Kafir related, says Mr.. Dudley
Kidd, in Savage CHILDHOOD" that
when he was child his father threat.
ened him with a beating if he did
something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort of thing a beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his Imagination was
unable to work on the sight and re-
construct the experience of these 9TH
ers into terms of his own senses.
When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea of how a
beating really felt 1t took a very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries Of his knowl-
edge
Swift retribution followed the I'm
pardonable sin Of showing disrespect
to his father. AS the children go
about entirely bare, there was no de-
lay for preparation. The father took
a stick and applied it vigorously, "ac-
cording to directions" and with entire
success.
When the tears and smarting were
over said the Kafir in his old age, 81
sat down and thought 1T over. Well
said to myself, now I know what IA
Their means by beating. 1 don't know
what is the reason of it, but anyhow
know what sort of thing a beating
Is l often laugh when 1 think how
stupid l was before that."--Youth's

Francis Powers then member OF the

FINDS HER HUSBAND

Mrs. Susan B. Luke in Suit to
AnnuI Wedding Tells of
Meeting No. l in East

was related in Judge Sturtevant's court
yesterday. Mrs. Susan B. Luke. who
married Richard Luke in 1902, took a
trip east last summer Accidentally.
and at the house of friend, she met a
Mrs. Luke. Comment was made upon
the fact that they bore the same name.
The other woman asked Mrs. Luke of
San Francisco the name of her hus-
band. Richard" was the reply. Why.
Richard is my husbands name" re-
Joined the questioner.
Then Mrs. Luke of San Francisco
drew her watch, opened il and showed
the other woman the picture of her
husband inside the case.
He is Ny husband, and can not be
yours" declared the eastern woman.
She explained that she had separated
from the man some 10 years ago.
Mrs. Luke returned to San Francisco
and taxed Richard Luke. who is a car
penter, with having former wife. He
admitted il, and said he honestly
thought she was dead when he remar-
ried. Mrs. Luke then filed suit for the
annulment Of her marriage. The case
was partly tried. and Judge Sturte-
want put il over for the deposition OF
the other woman TO be obtained.

native uprisings excite sympathy every-
