A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
Cheerful New Guinea Custom Which
Causes Frequent Murders.

Causes Frequent Murders.
Everywhere in New Guinea the
traveller is continually brought face to
face with death and the natives are
devoid of the slightest pity or respect
for the dead or dying, although after
death they will often wall and
mourn for considerable time.
Murder is an everyday occurrence.
and nothing could be worse than the
morals Of the natives. In fact. they
have none. They thieve and lie with
a persistence and cunning which are
surprising.
The Papuans have cheerful Gus
tom which demands life for a life.
Should any one die at the first oppor
tunity they kill some one-they are not
very particular whom-to make up for
It. while we We're at Humboldt
bay" says Professor Pratt in the Wide
World Magazine. "a Malay died of
dropsy. He was the first Malay who
had ever come to that part. and the
Papuans greatly respected him.
VERY WE'LL they said. we must
shoot Malay with our bows and ar
rows to pay for his death And soon
err or later some innocent person would
be killed to square the account, when
everybody-eXcept presumably. the
victims friends-w would be satisfied"

could not scare up single sou

Mr.. Reid, with Judge Moore, was
on his way home when he plunged
his hand into his pocket. expecting,
as usual. to find the customary big

his friend. and produced the 10
cents which permitted them to
take the tube trip.

New Mexico Will End in

obtain admission to the Union as a
state"

bill providing for admission Of Okla

NOT MANY WAGERS ARE
LOST ON THE ELECTION

Either the people of Mississippi are
less sportively inclined than in former
years, or they were very much in
doubt concerning the result of last
Tuesdays election. According to cur
rent reports, smaller amount of mon
ey changed hands on wagers than for
any similar event held in the state in
recent years.
Despite the very intense interest
and partisan feeling shown in the
senatorial contest, the bets
placed was exceedingly few,
This was perhaps due in large meas
ure to the prevalent feeling that it
would be a close finish, with strong
probability of second primary. Few
expected the landslide for Vardaman
