1t is superstition of these natives
that should they use the language of

The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species of tree has a spirit or
guardian angel that presides over its
affairs. this spirit being known by the
name of Bisan. This divinity's resting
place is near the trees Then. too, the
spirit of the camphor tree is held to be

How an Old Banker Used Diplomacy
10 Get Rid Of an unweleoms
Visitor.

cussing William Winslow Sherman,
the old banker, who died not long

"He had the coolest nerve of any
man / know" said one. 'Three or
four years ago, when Sherman was
an old man and partially crippled BY
reason Of a fall from a horse, he en-
tered his bedroom late at night to
find a masked burglar r~anaacking it.
"The thief had a big gun raised on
Sherman in a minute. The banker
just waved it aside with a tired
hand. Put that away he said ir-
ritably. let us discuss this matter
like gentlemen The burglar was
so surprised he laughed. Now, you
could hurt me if you wanted to, and
might get away with some little
knick-knacks,' said Sherman. But
you might be caught, and there's a
slight probability that you could dis
pose of my toilet articles profitably.
What would you consider a fair cash
proposition to go away?' They talked
it over in all peace.
"The burglar thought he ought
to have ten dollars, but Sherman,
after inquiring into the mans
habits, said eight dollars was enough.
You see,' he said, you're a known
thief. If this were your first Of
Tense I'd pay you your price, but
now the police have your picture you
ought to be glad to accept any fair
compromise and run no risk
"The burglar finally agreed to
take eight dollars. Sherman pulled
out a ten-dollar bill. Give me two
dollars change said he. And he
got it before he paid"
