 forma tories for both girls aud boys; and in some provinces the jails have specail departments for girl criminals.
 The Courts of India
 Indeed, law and order now mean more 1 in India than in any other country of Asia, with the exception, perhaps. of Japan. There are courts everywhere, and every native has the right to bring suit. The Hindus are fond of the law, and they spend freely in defending their rights. Something like 100000 civil cases
 are instituted each year. The officers of the courts number almost 5000 and the civil justices and the majority of the magistrates are natives. There are many
 trials by native juries, and the native
 lawyers, who usually are graduates of the universities, are both able and eff cient. There Is regular system of ap- peal courts, and in Madras, Bombay, Bengal and the united provinces there
 are supreme high courts, which have the right of appeal to the privy council in England.

this part of the world. Moreover, those
 who remain in the service for fixed
 length of time are retired on pension of
 Dc a day, and, therefore, can luxuriate for
 the rest of their lives.
 The Police Force
 In addition to the army, India has a
 large civil police. Every town has its
 local watchmen, and every city is patrol led by police with clubs lR their hands.
 The local village police aggregate some thing like 100000 men, and this would be
 hardly enough to give one to each village.
 In addition there are thousands in the cities and on the whole order Is fairly we'll kept The thugs and other castes.
 who, in times past made a business and religion of murder and stealing, have been wiped out, but there are still armed
 gangs who now and then go about com
 hitting robbery and housebreaking. The system of police work is excellent.
 The watchmen are under the eyes of the
 head men of their villages, and important
 crimes are reported to the districts. and in many cases the Watchmen are re- sponsible for losses or thefts.
 Every place has Its own police station and arrangements for patrol day and
 night In the larger towns there are police commissioners and at the stations lists are kept of released oonvicts. sus-
 pected Character and habitual offenders. Such patries are carefully watched and when they move their regulations go with them to form part of the black list of their new residence.
 Upon such lists are the descendants of the thugs and members of the other castes, who formerly made crime a
 business. There are many of these. The Kuru marus are professional thieves and pickpockets. They teach their chil- dren to steal and lie out of 1t. They
 burglarize, houses not through the doors or windows but by digging through the mud walls with instru-
 ments made for the purpose.
 The thugs have about disappeared, having been hunted down by the police like wild beasts. They were a caste or band of hereditary assassins who first
 strangled and then robbed their vic- tims. They had maps of the country with murder stations marked upon them at which places one could Kill
 with least danger of discovery. They killed by wholesale. In one of the trials a certain thug confessed that he had been engaged in 300 murders. | The road poisoners of today are said

 The Soldiers Loyal
 am told that the agitators are doing all they can to stir up sedition in the army. Anarchistlc publications are smuggled into the native barracks, and attempts made to create dissatisfac- ton among the soldiers So far this has been in vain. The soldiers are loyal and stick to the British. Nevertheless, they are thinking and thinking hard. The Japan Russian war was watche ed and discussed In the barracks, and it was a great surprise that the Japanese defeated the Russians. It was the de- feat of the white man by the brown man, and the question among the fight ing class Is, if the Japs were victorious why should not the East Indian be so in some great war of the future. On , the other hand the rajahs appreciate the conditions that would obtain should the army, as now constituted be dis solved. One of the northern chiefs, who controls a population larger than that of Great Britain, recently said: T should like to see the British | leave India. If they did I would take half a dozen regiments and within three weeks there would not be a two anna bit left on the plains of the Gan- ges We would loot the Bengalese and | capture their women.

A Good Habit to Cultivate

There is tremendous power in the habit of expectancy, the conviction
 that we shall realize our ambition; that
 our dreams shall come true, says Orison
 Swett Warden. in Success Magazine"
 There Is no uplifting habit like that
 of carrying an eXpectant, hopeful atti- tude. of expecting that our heart yearn-
 ings will be matched with realities;
 that things are going to turn out well and not i'll; that we are going to suc- ceed that no matter what may or may not happen we are going to be happy. There is nothing else so helpful as the carrying of this optimistic, expec- tant attitude-the attitude which al- ways looks for and expects the best. the highest, the happest-and never allowing oneself to get into the pessi- mistic. discouraged mood.
 Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do. Never for an instant harbor doubt of this. Drive it out of your mind If it seeks entrance. Entertain only the friend thoughts or idals of the thing you are bound to acheieve. Reject all thought enemies. all discouraging mo moods-everything which would even suggest failure or unhappiness

Ecpyright, 1910, by Frank G. Carpenter) Calcutta, 1910. THE troubles in India continue. All is quiet upon the surface but ! every now and then bomb is |hrown. a conspiracy unearthed that |hows the volcano beneath. Since I have leen here the anarchistic organizations lave made attempts upon the lives Of bany officials, trains have been wrecked | nd the most barbarous plots unearthed. keveral bombs have been thrown at the |iceroy, and no high official is safe. In he main, the natives are quiet, but the nrest seems increasing and any inter ational complication in which Great britain takes part may precipitate roube.
 On my way. here to Calcutta I trav- | led with General Pole-Carew, a well Inown British officer. In speaking of he army, he said:
 Our Indian troops will be loyal nough as long as England Is in the as- endancy and her power in the far East Iredomnant. If we should have trouble ! with any other nation, such as Russia ar instance, and should meet with de- eat, there would be a danger that the ndian army would fly to the worship of

SENATOR CURTIS CALLS
GORE CHARGE TOO VAGUE

TOPEKA, Aug. 5.-United States
Senator Charles Curtis left this after
noon for Muskogee to testify in regard
to the allegations made by Senator
Gore Thursday Senator Curtis VIII
take the stand either Sunday or Mon
day. He said before he left Topeka:
81 shall tell the committee that Presi-
dent Taft sent for Vice President Sher-
man and myself in order to discuss
this Indian matter, and as result of
that conference and acting on the ad-
vice of Mr.. Sherman and myself, the
president decided he would not open
the rolls nor would he further con-
slider the matter of placing his ap
proval on the contract with Lawyers
McMurray and Long for the big fee
claimed in the sale of the indian lands.
This conference with President Taft
should alone set at rest any further
consideration of the vague charges
made by Senator Gore in this matter.
We have proof beyond the shadow of a
doubt as to our standing in this case"
