necessary to tell you this. The

Whatever little there is left of
American liberty, dwindlcs away
under the poisoned breath of the

protector of the rights of the work
ing people stands isolated upon
the field Of battle the labor press.
And how deeply the labor press
is hated by the enemies Of the
working people is shown by the
attack lead against the freedom of
press, OF which you all know.
They are ready to gag the truth ::
they are resolved that no longer

Indebtedness.
Workingmen! Your American
lawmakers during the last few
years have welded against you
blow after blow, against which the
labor press has tried to protect you
to the best of its ability. The cap.

had intended for you many a seri
Gus attack, which was warded off
by you with the valuable aid of the
labor press: many Of those possess

their faces the mask of hypocrisy:

A LAND SALE IN BOLIVIA.
Survival Of a Curious Old Ceremony
Called "feoffmen."

Our remote ancestors did not sell
land as 1t is sold nowadays. the seller
merely giving to the buyer an ac-
knowledsed deed of the premises.
According to their customs. no land
title could pasS except by ''transmuta-
ton of possession" and this they ac-
complished By solemn ceremony.
called by an old term ''feoffment."
The seller and the buyer went on
the land together in the presence of
witnesses. usually most Of the village
folks. The seller took tuft of grass
or 4 clod Of earth and handed 1t to
the buyer, declaring with loud voice
his intention to transfer to him the
possession Of the land in question.
Centuries have elapsed since the
English race has sold land in this
way. and 1t has been supposed that
the practice had become extinct. A
few years ago. however. a New Eng
land lawyer, returned from Bolivia.
gave the following account Of land
sale within 100 miles of La Paz, the
Bolivian capital:
The American had climbed the An
des to height of 1,4OO feet. accom-
panied by a native Bolivian who had
agreed to sell some mining property.
The subprefect of the province and a
notary went with them. The Indians
living on the route were called out
rs the party passed along. until finally
the complete company numbered about
800.
When the party reached its destina-
ton the project called the assembly
to order, declared what was to be
done. and the notary wrote it down.
The seller then tore up dirt and
grass with his hands and handed it
to the buyer. who at once began to
run wildly about the land. turn somer-
assaults and cut up all manner OF
funny capers.
This. the notary told the party. was
to convince the native Indians that the
purchaser had actually taken legal
possession Of the land. and he further
stated that the Indians and their de-
scendants would defend the newcom-
er's title against any and all intruders
until he or his heirs should see At to
transfer the possession of the land
to still others in a similar manner

Su0ST SPo"tou
Among primitive peoples gifts are
made to the gods in the hope Of &C.

also, when a god does not respond his

Of this notion among Christians. how
ever simple minded they may be.
A very curious instance is contained
in a report flied in the Smithsonian
institution at Washington. 1t tells of
what happened in Arizona while un-
der Spanish rule and is amusingly
naive in its story Of how the people
of one department tried to threaten
the Deity and thereby make him give
