When Eiliston went from London to

was known to scarcely member of

asked who that man was.

THREE YEARS LATE.
A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.

neCCFC "eQdl.
A train of Il railway system in the
southwest once arrived at its destina-
tion nearly three years late. The cir
cumstanceS We're these:
The train left Bolivar. just across
Galveston bay from Galveston. on
Sept s. 1900. and was caught in the
great storm that SO nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar is seventy
five miles from Beaumont. which was
the point of the trains destination
Before the train had Travelled far on
its journey it was caught in the storm.
Thirty miles of the track were washed
away. and the train was left stranded
on a sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge in the
train. After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers.
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway.
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1908. Had not
the road suffered so seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
of great value few months later.
when oil was struck at Beaumont. In
1903. however. the road underwent re-
pairs. when the train was drawn into
Beaumont. where it was greeted by a
cheering crowd.-New York Press.

LAWYERS Nm GERMANY.
Ihey Cannot Advertise. and Their Fee.
Are Fixed by Law

Inc German law fixes the exact fees
winch German attorney has to claim
Tor all kinds of professional work. and
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less
lhese fees apply to all matters of
the civil code and of criminal cases
1he amount. according to the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
OF the object of contention.
II Is an old though still unfulfilied
WISH or German lawyers to have a
new fixed list of fees. not made after
the old and low standard of the year
1873. but made with consideration to
the changes-the numerous decided
which have taken place since
that year.
The rechtsanwalt is attorney and
counselor at law all in one dn England
solicitor and barrister). The rechtsan.
walt can never be a business man. as
Is the case in the United States
The exercise of the law is not to be
considered a calling of profession. but
Is to b" looked on more as public
office. According to the lawyers code
of the LIST of July. 1878. II lawyer is
charged publicly with certain duties.
He is obliged to have his residence
in the town or district where he is ap-
pointed $50 called residence dutyl.
Further. he must conduct himself fn
and out of office in a way betitting his
professional aud social standing-i. e..
duty due to his rank. Thus lawyer
is forbidden to advertise in newspa-
pers. by canvassing. etc, or to buy
or take over "A practice already made
as being unworthy of his calling.
His position in society is between
officials and scholars. and through Gus
tom and law he is compelled to keep
the position to the last degree. This
compulsion to keep ones rank has
given rise to the existence of com
mittees called anwaltskammern. whose
duty it is TO keep a strict watch that
no lawyer dishonors his calling. These
committees have strict code of pun
ishment. ranging to complete eNpul-
sion from office. In this way the law
yerS in Germany have good and hon
ored position. In fact. there is scarcely
a country in which the lawyer enjoys
more respect and confidence.

TASMANIA.
Nieknames Applied to tho Ono Time
Convict Settlement.

Tasmania is perhaps the most inter
esting of the states of our common
wealth." remarked the Australian. '.lt
is large triangular island lying to the
south of Melbourne and was once a
convict settlement.
The climate is delightful and the
soil remarkably fertile. The island is
practically one large orchard. where
peaches. apples. cherries. etc. are
grown in sufficient quantities to keep
the adjoining continent supplied. with
some left over for export to England
AS fruit trees do not require much
tending. leisure is a notable character
istic of the inhabitants. and Tasmania
is known throughout the antipodes as
the land of lots of time or the land of
sleep lot 1t is also called the jam
country and its natives familari!
termed Jam eaters This is on account
of the presence of an enormous can
merry in the island. where some of the
orchard products are converted into
jams. jellies and preserved fruits.
But this by no means ends the list
OF Tasmanian nicknames. Two Dutch
explorers-Tasman and Van Dieman-
had to do with the discovery of the
island. and. although the name of Tas
man is now used. it is often referred
to in old school books as Van Dfemans s
Land. We find it amusing to twist
the latter name bit and call the Tas-
manians demons which is shame.
as they are the mildest and best fel-
lows in the world. They speak OF
themselves rs TASTES. and that may
be accepted as their unofficial designa-

ARAB ENcAMPMENTs.
Crowded Tents In Which the
Shepherd Warriors Live.

Arabs are true lshmaelites. Their
lie is constant wandering. They
i've entirely on the produce of their
herds. Their tents are quickly taken
down or put up and easy of transport
They are made of camel's hair. loosely
woven. supported on poles or long guy
ropes. They protect the occupants from
the hot sun. but not from the rain.
and in winter the encampments are
uncomfortable places.
The interior is crowded with all the
belongings of these shepherd warriors
camel saddles and gaudy saddle
bags, rifles and ammunition. hunting
dogs and falcons. The women occupy
one half; the men use the other. par
titioned off by a brightly colored cur
tain The whole of the front of the
tent being open, there is no privacy.
The average tent measures twenty
yards by six.
The chief of the tribe, however.
owns many tents. and he has for his
own use one giant structure, some
times spread over a length of thirty
six yards In his other tents the chief
keeps his numerous wives. who have
n certain proportion of their masters s
fiocks and herds to look after. Hav-
ing separate tent for each wife. he
thus does away with all chance of do
nestle quarrels.-Argonaut.

The Green Forest tribune., 1910-07-01

then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned all the land and distributed it among various favored vassals
 The sovereign in the same way regarded the new world as if it had been won by the sword. The most extravagant ideas prevailed with regard to the wealth of the American lands. It was at one time soberly believed in England that gold and silver and precious stones could be had for the taking and that the natives were the possessors of fabulous wealth. The king gave the charters in most cases with the idea that he would profit great ly from mines which would yield enormous returns to the royal exchequer.
 When the colonists came here they found 1t necessary to make good their titles either by peaceful bargains with the Indians by force of arms From the very first the spirit of independence fostered, for fefs which had to be maintained by constant vigilance and negotiations and by show of force did not carry with them a deep sense of obligation. Indeed, even at that early day, although for the throne the colonists entertained feelings of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd idea abroad that the king did not really own the land which he had bestowed by his charter. The conquest of nature and of the savages be got a rugged independence which the years went by became more and more distasteful to the authorities in England
 Yet the idea of separation from the crown was of slow growth. The forefathers main tained that they British subjects, al though not living within the ream as indeed was specified in some of the royal charters. The Massachusetts charter, for instance, sets forth that the coonists shall be considered "as if they and every one of them were born within the realm of England" As British sub jects then, they maintained that they should be entitled to representation, and therefore each colony had it's assembly, which deter mined upon all matters of the common veal and established rates of taxation. It was one of the principles expressed in the Magma Char ta that the common council of the kingdom "was to assess an aid or to assess a scutage"
