The Price of a Life.

According to Anglo Saxon law, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at a fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
offense by Il money payment upon 4
fixed scale. The life of a peasant was
reckoned TO be worth 200 shillings,
that of a man of noble birth 1 200 Shii-
lings, and the killing of 4 king involved
the regicide in payment of 200 shil-
nngs. 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne could thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine, according TO the scale, to the ex-
chequer, when his offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself, for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt
that these rough means were practi-
cally applied in the case of some rulers
of England in the preconquest period.

They Know Just What to Do and Do
1t Without Guidance.
Just so soon as a baby turtle energies
from the egg off he scuttles down TO
the sea- He has no one to teach him,
no one to guide him. In his curious
little brain there is implanted n streak
Of caution based upon the fact that
until a certain period in his life his
armor is soft and no defense against
hungry fish, and he at once seeks the
shelter in the tropical prOfuSiOn of the
gulf weed. which holds within its
branching fronds an astonishing album
dance of marine life. Here the young
turtle feeds unmolested while his ar
NOR undergoes the hardening process.
Whatever the young sea turtle eats
and wherever he eats it-facts not gen
orally ascertained-one thing is GER
tain, it agrees with him immensely.
He leads a pleasant sort of life, baSk-
ing in the tropical sun and cruising
leisurely in the cool depths.
Once he has attained the weight of
twenty-five pounds. which usually Oc-

Burdens That Innocent English Chill.

In England. a. in other countries
thousands Of people go through life
cheriShing Il grudge against their par

gruous names. II was most natural
that 4 demure and pretty girl in Il
north suburb should feel reSentful
when she had to answer 10 the name
of BusybOdy, given in honor of the
winner of q race fifteen years before
Among the names registered at Som
erSet House are Airs and Graces and
Nun Nicer, which were innocently
borne by two little girls who found
them most embarrassing in after years.
The appalling name OF Wellington
WOlSeley Roberts was borne by a
young man who, in disposition and ap-
pearance, was anything but militant.
and as little likely TO win fame on
the battlefield as his predecessors Ar
thur Wellesley Wellington Waterloo
Cox and Napoleon the Great Eagar.
However. even these names. inap-
propriate as they may be. are TO be
preferred TO Roger the Ass, Anna (sic)

OLD TIME GRIZZLIES.
They Were Indispensable Articles of
Wear In the Middle ACES

wear IN the WiCCic Ages.
In the middle ages at the girdle were
hung the thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in everyday
affairs. The scrivener had his inkhorn
and pen attached to it. the scholar his
book or books, the monk his crucitiX
and rosary. the innkeeper his tallies
and everybody his knife So many
and so various were the articles at
tached to it that the flippant began TO
poke fun. In an old play there is men,
ton of merchant who had hanging
at his girdle pouch, q spectacle case,
''punniard." pen and inkhorn and
a handkerchief" with many other
trinkets besides, of which merry
companion said, 1T was like q hab-
erdasher's shop of small wares" In
another early play a lady says to her
maid: Give me my girdle and see
that all the furniture be at it. Look
that pinchers, the penknife, the knife
to close letters with, the bodkin, the
ear picker and the scale be in the
case" Girdles were in some respects
like the chatelaineS of more modern
times, but they differed therefrom in
being more useful, more comprehen-
sive in regard both to sex and to ar
ticles worn, and when completely fin
ished more costly. 1t is partly for this
reason that we find girdles bequeathed
as precious heirlOomS and as valuable
presents TO keep the giver's memory
green after death. They were not in
frequently of great intrinsic value.

Willing to Be Reasonable.

"Do you believe in long engage

scented to be his.
Yes, dearest" she replied. Il have
always thought it was such mistake
for two people to rush into matrimony

each other"
"Well, about how long would you
wish the engagement to be?''
Let me see! Would you think il
was too long if we didn't get married

FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend and
Literature.

Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
In the literature Of all ages. In Egypt
ing sun, in boat surmounted by stars.
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as a COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls 81
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men of that early time it shone down
from the same position ana with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
a striking example Of the unchan-e-
ableness Of the heavens.
From the days of the early HinduS
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always stormy
character. illusions to its direful in
nuence are found everywhere among
the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss Of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was aScribed 10 the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing Of Orion. The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning OF
summer, its midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and its early even
| ing rising the arrival of winter, with
| it's attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
| great hunter or warrior. Its present
| title came into Greek astronomy from
! the Euphrates and originally signitied
the light of heaven.

 ernOr.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 21.-Hon. John H. Hinemon was in Little Rock Wednesday conferring with his friends about political matters. He says that the dis cussion in the state press re- garding the possibility of his be- coming a candidate for congress in the Seventh district has not been inspired by him, but has been initiated by his friends.
 He says he is considering the matter but has authorized no one to make any statement re- garding his intentions. He says further that there are some con- ditions under which he might consent to become a candidate for governor again. At the present time, however, he is not prepared to make any statement whatever about his intentions.

 Social intercourse between the editor of the Mammoth Spring Monitor and Salem Sun is apt to be dry hereafter. The Monitor says: Mammoth Springs went DRY last night by operation of law and saloons closed at mid night never to open again. Yes John jerhapse-ed." To which the Salem Sun replies: What do we care about your saloons ? If the town ever gets dry as it's newspapers it will explode with spontaneous combustion. We have drank whiskey, and never went behind a tree, or into a back room to do it. We have quit boozing, and you Brother Wallick, will have to buy your own bootleg whiskey.
