The Inhabitants Of .Andorra. the little
republic which is wedged In between

of their blue blood and ancient lineage.
In their eyes a gavache (foreigner) OF
any description or nationality is mere
" an inferior being. sort Of mush-
room upstart In comparison with them
selves. During 1900 years they have
continually married and interInarried
to such an extent that at present all
the Inhabitants are practically cousins.
yet. strange to say, neither their physi
cal. mental nor moral qualities seem to
have suffered. Both sexes are strong
lirnbed. broad shouldered. bright eyed
hardy and long lived. retaining theiI
hair and their teeth to a green old age
They are also keen witted and intelli
gent. alert and happy hearted, sober
Industrious. hospitable and devout.

WANTS REPR|MANO
FOR JUDGE PETIT
Chairman Helms of Investi-
eating Committee Great
ed Big Sensation.
(American News Service)


Springfield. Ill, May 11.-Following
an opinion of the Helm committee re-
garding the decision of Judge Petit of
Chicago in freeing Edward Tilden,
head of the beef trust, George Bene-
dict and William c. Cummings from
appearing before the committee to
testify in the inquiry into the charges
of bribery in the election of Senator
Lorimer, Chairman Helm demanded
that Judge Petit be reprimanded. The
opinion was sensational and likely
will reopen the entire campaign
against Lorimer's election. Helm in
addressing the senate said: There is
no doubt in the mind of this commit
tee that the circuit court judge has ex-
ceeded his judicial rights in this mat
ter He has invaded the power of the
senate of Illinois. This is vital ques-
ton and before this body acts we
should carefully weigh the entire mat
ter. ! think, the committee thinks,
and many members think that the ac-
ton of this court should be repri-
manded by this body. The senate
should show its disapproval of the
conduct of this Judge. Still we should
not be carried away by our feelings"
The matter went over until Monday.

Even among the FIVE Civilized Tribes
there still remain many communities

together. following their own ideas OF
life. speaking their own language and
retiring before the whites with the
same strange reserve and pride thai
characterized them in their Wild state.
Although claiming the name Of sew
eral Christian denominations and fol
lowing certain beliefs with devout
ress. their ways OF thinking. their dis.
like of innovation and their aversion
to work have made them withdraw
tn the mountain districts. Whethe;
this so called reserve comes from pride
or a distrust Of the white man or II
midity or merely a stubborn conserva
tism. 1t produces the same result. the
backward and nonprogressive Indian.
There is. too. a certain mystic quality
that holds the Indian aloof. says the

there is little sympathy In our every

Original of FaIstaH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of ehakespeares Falstaff and in his day was continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolf's matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for. having married q widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own ufetme.-Lon- don News.
