Bel7eaded by Mistake, Tibeten Is Of
fiei.!iy RsiEearnated.

fci@!iy RsiEcarnated.
A curious example of the Tibetan
| and Chinese idea of Justice and the be-
lie in restoration Of life through re
| Incarnation came to light recently in
! the case of n Tibetan Hotoolatoo, a
| high priest OF Buddhism. who lost his
! head when he incurred the diSDleasure
! of the since deposcl dalai lama. the
! religious head of the .Buddhists. who
| fed from Lassa the capital of Tibet
| The beheaded high priest was rein
| carnated ard his titles and wealth re-
stored. This was ordered in an imperial
| edict.
Tho edict sets forth that the Hotoo-
| katoo-that is. one of the saints of
the highest class-was decapitated
three years ago. The throne finds now
that it WAS deceived by the dalai
lama, who secured the execution on
the ground that the high priest had at
tempted the formers life by sorcery, a
profession in which these saints are
reputed to be especially gifted.
The process of reincarnation will be
similar to that Of a dalai lama In
fants of a certain blood displaying
signs that they possess the same soul
as that Of the deceased will be assem-
bled and their names written upon
slabs of wood and sealed. These will
be placed in a large urn of precious
metal, from which the high lama will
drew by chance one of the names. The
identity of the reiucarnated will be
greeted by the populace with shouts
Of joy.
The edict further provides that the
saint Dhood of the Hotookatoo shall
be restored and that his treasure con-
fiscated by the dalai lama shall be re-
turned to the infant Hotookatoo.

LAGRANGE Sleep walker.
According to the story of the four
brothers, Guy, Albert, Nathan and
Christopher, their brother was a sleep
walker, and it is their idea that he
walked from the boat while asleep.
They state that about a year ago he
walked out of a second-story window
at Des Moines and broke his right arm.
They think that he did not commit sui
eide, but that he simply walked off thu
boat in his sleep. They also state thai
Jesse Hall, who claimed relationship
with the dead man, was in fact no rela-
ton to him. They also state that Hall
was misinformed when he said that his

THE kNOckER.

She had a little hammer,
She used it with a will,
She knocked at everybody
They couldn't keep her still;
She knocked about her neighborS
If they were friends or foes,
She knocked about the table
And knocked about her clothes.
She knocked at hubby's smoking,
About his snoring, too;
She knocked about his whistling,
And so. perhaps. would you;
At last the Reaper claimed her,
Her course on earth was run;
Her husband then considered
Her knocking days were done.
But husband went one evening
To see a spirit show.
Where always in the cleaning.
The spirits come and go.
He heard a spirit knocking
'My wife," he said, I'll bet!
Now isn't she wonder?
Hear that! She's knocking yeti"

the time since the bank failure.

the city several months ago, 1T repre-
senting the amount of city's money
never paid back by the banks receiver,
for which the banks bondsman was
therefore liable. While either side YET
has the right of appeal from the dis
trict courts decision, no Such lntentloh
has vet been signified.
The old Snattinger bond, dating back
about 12 years, lay in the city's vault
for a long time before any one thought
of bringing suit upon it after the Dew
