CATTLE SHOT BY SETTLERS
War Breaks Out Again and Ranchere
Suffer Lcss.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Sept. 1.-The
bitterness existing for some time be-
tween the few remaining cattlemen
and the homesteaders residing In the
vicinity of Quinn, one Of the new
towns between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills, in Western South
Dakota, has been intensified by the
recent shooting by unknown persons
of thirteen head of cattle belonging to
John Hart, prominent cattleman.
Six of the animals were killed out
right and the others have since died.
It is believed the shooting was done
by homesteaders who were incensed
because their corn crops had been
destroyed by the cattle.

NEW OATH IN ENGLAND.
Kissing the Book to Become a Thing
of the Past.

If the oaths bill is passed-and it
has obtained a second reading in the
house of lords-"kissing the Book" the
present insanitary and undignified form
Of oath taking, will practically become
thing of the past. Every witness
will lie sworn with his hand uplifted,
unless he voluntarily objects to being
sworn in that fashion or is physically
incapable Of so taking the oath.
The witnesses who will avail them
selves of their option to kiss the
Book" will be even less numerous than
those who have been accustomed to
exercise their right to be sworn with
uplifted hand. The right has not been
exercised, our contemporary adds, be-
cause the majority Of witnesses, how
ever great their dislike to the insani-
tary oath, have been unwilling to make
themselves conspicuous in court Of
justice by making an unusual request.
With the abolition of kissing the
Book" in England the insanitary oath
will practically disappear from the civ
ilized world. In France the judge
says: You swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth?" and the witness, lifting up his
right hand, answers, Il swear" In
Austria the witness says, with uplifted
hand, Il swear by God the Almighty
and All Wise that will speak the pure
and full truth and nothing but the
truth, and answer to anything l may
be asked by the court" Where the
Bible has it's appointed place in the
ceremony it is touched by the hand
and not held to the lips.
In Italy the witness placing his
hand upon the open Bible says, Il
swear to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth" In
Spain the ceremony is similar, though
rather more elaborate. Even among
less civilized peoples the ceremony Of

An Intelligent COVE. L. Evans
gives us story this week that Is rich
In the extreme. A few night ago he
went home and found cow in his
yard. He drove her out. He then
went into the house and later heard
the animal in the yard again. He
drove her out the second and third
times. Ted Evans, his son, came
home later and found the animal In
the yard and drove her out. Mr.. Evans
then made an investigation and found
the cow got in by wading around the
fence on the river side. He hung up
a lantern to deceive the COW as she
came in, and the next morning, so he
says, he found the cow in the yard
with the lantern hung on her horns,
using the same to hunt out the best
grapefruit in his grove. Say what
you please, but that was an intelligent
COW. And the story Is true-of course
it is.-Fort Myer Press.

He Knew Two Verses.

Little girls with yellow plaits and lit

Then came the fall which invariably
follows pride.
Turning to a bullet-headed, freckle-

about to carry off his head like an

verse from the Scriptures, but her only
answer was a vacant stare.

ROMAN JUSTICE.
How TechnicaIities Were Avoided In
the Courts.

How TechnicaIities Were Avoided In
the Courts.
The bar was an open profession In
ancient Rome; the litigant enjoyed the
utmost latitude in the choice of an ad-
vocate, whose right to represent his
client in court was fully conceded.
Slavish imitators Of the Greeks in lit
erature and art, the Romans asserted
their entire independence in the domain
Of law. Their innovations had the
stamp of originality; but these did not
comprise any close connection between
bar and bench. 1t is noteworthy that
during a very long period in his his
tory Of Roman law there was no exact
counterpart of our judge. The magis-
tratus was a public official charged
with the administration Of the law;
the judex was a species Of referee ap-
pointed by the magistrate to hear and
report upon a particular case. Then
there was an arbiter who acted alone,
or with others, in arbitration cases
(arbitria). Finally, there were recu-
peratores who assisted in international
questions.
The hearing before these various
types Of judex was called the judicum,
as distinguished from JUS, the hearing
before the magistrates properly so
called. The names of citizens qualified
for serving as judices were inscribed
in a public record known as the al
bum. Moreover, litigants had the right
Of objection to a particular judex. Not
only so, but this right was extended
during many centuries to criminals,
who were tried before centumvirs and
decemvirs, sitting on the permanent
tribunals. If the Roman Bill Sykes
never thought Of putting forward the
demand of his English congener that
I'VE all ought to have voice in MAX
ing the laws as we suffer by" yet we
may be we'll assured that he would not
fail to take a sporting chance, make a
prime favorite of the judge who was
most reversed on appeal, and stren-
uously object to the others.
The point which calls for our special
attention is that none of the men who
discharged the various judicial or
semi judicial functions described were
drawn, except in most exceptional
cases, from the advocate class. Nor Is
it possible to conceive any arrange
ment better calculated than that in
force in Rome to exclude their narrow,
professional technicality from the set
tlement Of civil cases. The presiding
magistrates of the great criminal tri-
bunals were seldom or never men who
practised at the bar. Even in later
times, when the distinction between
JUS and judicium had disappeared, and
the functions of magistratus and judex
were merged in one official, there is no
evidence that the bench was recruited
from the bar more frequently than be-
fore.-Westminster Review.
