forced to pay q full tax on all
of the land held by them in Chi
huahua, instead of a nominal tax. as
in the past. This will force the own

much of their land and to relieve the
excessive tax on the small owners by
paying their pro rata OF. the expenses

payments to the actual settlers under

Masks of the Marauesans.

The Marquesans of generation ago
were the most completely and artisti-
cally tattooed people in the Pacific. and
the practice of tattooing Is carried ON
among them to certain extent today.
The really fine pieces of work. how
ever, such as the famous right leg OF
the late Queen Vaekehu of Nukahtva,
are confined entirely to the very old,
and, what with wrinkles, deformlties
and the wear and tear of time, these
have lost most of their original sharp
ness of color and outline. None of the
new generation appears to have the
fortitude to endure the exquisite pain
incident to having Il whole limb picked
out In lacework OF geometric design
or the face barred and circled like n
coarse spiders web. Women are rare
~ tattooed at all now. aud most of
the young men are satisfied with a
broad band of solid black, not unlike a
highwayman's mask, which reaches
across the face from ear to ear, giving
to their never overmild looking coun-
tenances an expression of amazing fe-
rocity.-Lewis X. Freeman in New
York Tribune.

LEGAL DECISIONS

Shooting is Not Indecent. To shoot
justifiably is NOT acting indecently, ac-
cording to the court OF appeals OF
Georgia, as stated in Cummings VS..
State, 50 Southeastern Reporter, 9lS.
The testimony showed that defendant
when at point about half a mile
away from church was met by an
other person, who made an unjusti-
fable and deadly assault upon him,
whereupon defendant opened fire
with pistol to defend himself. He
was charged with a violation OF the
penal code, which makes it a misde-
meanor to disturb persons assembled
for divine worship, the states theory
being that he acted indecently in tir-
ing the pistol thus near the church
In question. He was convicted, and
appeals. The court holds that his
conduct was not such as to violate
the statute prohibiting indecent act
ing" for that term could not be ex-
tended to mean that person is res
tricted from exercising the highly es-
teemed right of sef-defense against
felonious assault. The court says:
Divine worship is sacred but so, also
is the defense of ones own life" The
judgment was reversed.

ANOTHER RAILROAD RUMOR.

Another movement in railroad build
| ing in this section of the country has
brought forth a new line of specula.
tions as to the purposes of the Bur
lington railroad in reaching the gulf.
1t has been generally accepted here
that the proposed extension of the
Mobile. Jackson & Kansas City road
from Midland, Tenn, to Jackson had
a meaning in this direction, but now
comes the report of another extern
sion, which is regarded as more in
line with the Burlington's plans. The
Courier-Journal refers 10 this latest
movement as follows.
"Tne Chicago, Memphis & Gulf rail
road is the somewhat pretentious
name of little raiload foty-two miles
in length, operating from Dyersburg,
Tenn, to the Kentucky state line. Re
Gently an extension of ten miles has
been started, which will bring the
road TO Hickman. Amended articles
Of incorporation were filed in Frank
fort a few days ago providing for the
further extension of the line from
Hickman to Paducah. This is an
indication that the little road has
some intention of growing up to it's
large name.
1.-THE Burlington railroad a few
months ago completed an extension
from Herrin, Ill.,, to Metropolis, H.,
twelve miles below Paducah. 1t isl
to bridge across the OHIO
river at Metropolis, after the com
pletion of which the road will be-
brought into Paducah, to which city
it is already operating freight trains
by means OF transfer boats. There
has been much speculation as to
what route the Burlington would take
on its way south, and the sudden ac-
tivity on the part of the Chicago,
Memphis & Gulf road has lei to the
surmise that it win be the connect
ing link by which the Burlington will,
be extended on its way to the Gulf.
''The Chicago, Memphis & Gulf runs
along the Mississippi river and ira
verses the entire length of Reelfoot
Lake. The proposed extension would
pass through the counties of Fulton,
Hickman, Carlisle, Ballard and Nc.

section and a territory that Is In

tension from the state line to Hick-
man will be completed soon and that,
trains will be running into Hickman

line that mas been projected in Jack
sons Purchase for several years, and
will be hailed with gladness by the
people of the several counties which
it will traverse" /

RAISING A BOOSTER FUND"

There is strong significance for
Cairo In some very pointed remarks
In yesterdays Memphis Commercial
Appeal on Nashville's sGs.000 Booste
fund, and on the attempt TO raise a
like fund OF $4,000 in Memphis.
These remarks will apply to Cairo, be-
cause, though it has more wealth to
the square foot than most towns OF
its size, it has been nearly year try.
ing TO raise a $4,000 booster fund.
Cairoites have been uniformly and
commercially generous in their res
ponses to appeals in which sentiment
was involved; but rather too slow
when propositions were presented
which had to do with promoting
Cairo's interests along commercial
and industrial lines The Memphis
papers comment on the situation
there may embody some suggestions
which can profitably be taken to heart
in Cairo, to-wit:
I'VE recommend to the people of
Memphis the splendid example OF
Nashville. Nashville Is going into the
advertising and publicity business.
sAt one sitting the sum of s6S,000
was subscribed. The people of Nash
vile intend to raise 100000 to be
used in bringing factories and PEG
pie to Nashville.
Behind the movement in Nashville
are the biggest property owners in
that city, and also behind it are the
biz lawyers and the big doctors.
Things the different in Memphis.
Some OF the biggest land owners
and some Of the biggest real estate
owners and some of the biggest rich
men have been conspicuous by their
absence from the meetings. at which
the fund OF $4,000 was sought to
be raised.
I'VE have been trying to rare
100000 for something lie a month,
and yet nave not much above the half
way mark.
THE Cumberland Telephone Com
pany does more business in Memphis
than il does in Nashville The Cum
berland Telephone gave $4,000 to
Nashville and $500 to Memphis.
Wouldn't that jar you?
ofDThe Nashville Railway and Light
Company, through Mr. Bradford. gave
$4,000 TO the publicity fund In Nash
Vile. The Nashville Clearing House
Association gave $4,000.
"The banks OF Memphis do twice
as much business as thebanks Of
Nashville. The Nashville Clearing
House gave $4,000.
Nashville seems to be a lively
town. Two or three lawyers sub.
scribed $500 and one doctor sub

more money than Nashville doctors
make.
