According to the report there are
no illiterate persons in otero coun-
ty. at least no census Of them WAS
taken. although 1t is well known
fact that there are several people In

ably handicapped by the fact that
such people are loath to let such
information become known. In addi-
ton to finding out the number OF
school children in the county 1t
was necessary to get the number of
deaf mutes, blind children. and the
number of llliterates between the
ages of 10 and 81 and the number OF

no blind children and only five deaf
mutes-three females and two males.

KING GEORGE OF GREECE.
An Adopted Monarch Who Has Got
Alonu Very Well.

The Danish royal family was lucky
in securing thrones, but Prince Will
liam Christian Alphonso George, who
reigns in Greece today under the name
of George l., King of the Hellenes (not
of Greece, but of the Greeks), is the
luckiest of all, according to the East
ern and Western Review, for anarch-
ism i'm Greece is unknown and royalty
walks freely and unmolested.
King George has comparatively an
easy time of it. Gifted with no small
share of worldly goods, for besides the
civil list granted by the Greek gov
ernment he receives an additional
grant from the three protecting pow
ers-England, Russia and France-he
is therefore considered one of the
richest rulers in Europe. The court
expenses, both private and public, are
limited; no one could accuse the king
of undue display or of squandering
his royal estate.
Both he and the queen set an eX-
ample by their simplicity of living,
both at home and in their travels
abroad. They brought up their family
as becomes the democratic spirit of
the country.
Forty-t three years ago the king mar
ried the young and beautiful Grand
Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Rus
sia. The crown prince and his son.
Prince George, having been born i'll
Greece and brought up in the national
creed of the country, the Greek Or
thodox church, are looked upon as ma
tive Greek princes by the nation with
which they have wholly and entirely
identified themselves.
1t was difficult task for any one
coming to a country that had been
divided hy internal strife. after eN-
pelling it's ruler. to reign over a tur-
hulent race as yet unused to any
higher authority Happily the KING
adapted himself To circumstances, ana
aided by a natural gift Of foresight
and keen intelligence won the respect
and devotion of his subjects. He as
sumed for his motto, MY strength
lies in the love of my people. which
pleased every Greek heart

Il would shoot him If he called me
one or the other"
You have not answered the ques-
tion," said General Noble.
We'll" replied Herndon, Il would
rather be called anything under the
heavens than a Federalist."
What damages would you say the
defendant should be made to pay for
tbs libel in calling the plaintiff Fed
eralist?"
Il would say $1,000 at least"
Judge John H. Test, attorney for the
defendant, then took the witness.
Mr.. Herndon," he asked, what do
you understand by a Federalism"
My understanding Is that 1t means
a Tory, an enemy to his country" the
witness replied.
General Noble again took the witness
and asked him one more question.
Mr.. Herndon, would you feel safe
with Federallst by your side to meet
the Indians in a bush fight?"
have one of the hostile Indians with
his rifle and tomahawk by my SIDE"
There was a brief conference be-
tween the opposing attorneys; then
General Noble arose and said:
May it please the court, we have
twenty mine other witnesses that we
are ready to examine, but to save time
1t Is agreed by counsel that they will
each swear to the same facts as those
stated by Mr.. Herndon and that the
publication of the libel Is admitted"
No evidence was offered for the de-
fendant. Lengthy speeches were
made by the counsel on both sides,
covering in their range the history Of
the general government from its or
ganization. The charge was given the
next morning. The jury retired and
in a few minutes returned into court
with the following verdict
I'VE find that to charge a man with
being a Federalist is libelous, and we
assess the damages of the plaintiff at
$1,000, the amount sworn to by Mr..
Herndon and would have been by the
other twenty mine witnesses that were
not examined, as was admitted by the
counsel"
THE court is we'll satisfied with your
verdict" said the associate judge.
You are discharged to get your din
ners, as you have not yet had your
breakfasts"

sToLYPlN OF THE KIND HEART
Rules BY Cruelty But Because He Be-
Iieves il His Duty.

Iieves 1t His Duty.
Are my children safe?
That was Stolypin's cry when he es-
capped through the window Of his
pleasant villa, on the outskirts of st.
Petersburg, a few moments after the
greater part of the building had been
blown into the air by the explosion of
bomb.
AS he spoke his little daughter was
carried from the ruins, moaning with
main, and he saw that her feet were
crushed and bleeding. And the wild
cry, wrung from this man of iron, was
characteristic Of him. BY nature ne
is kind, good hearted and even sem
sitive
He is the supreme example Of
kind hearted man who is ruthless and
cruel because he believes ii to he his
duty.
First order; then reform" that was
the motto he adopted when he came
into power Had reforms been made
at once the revolution would have
ceased. Stolypin made the fatal mis-
take of a man without imagination,
and, instead of the constructive poll
tician he desired to be, he has been
little more than a police official. The
first part of this programme had been
carried out. BY placing almost the
entire empire under martial law, by
hanging, imprisoning and exiling, he
has restored a superficial order to
Russia; but he will be remembered as
the oppressor of his fellow-country-
men.
Sometimes of a summer evening I
used to go up to Neva to the islands
which form the delta of the river.
The little steamer passed palace
with smooth lawns sloping down to
the waters edge. Along the bank was
a high fence of tangled wires and
great arc lamps threw brilliant light
on the grass and on the walls and
windows. An armed policeman In
boat rowed slowly up and down close
10 the bank and within the wire en-
tanglements were soldiers with rifles.
This was the summer home of Stoly-
pin. the Elagin Palace, lent him by the
czar and the minister was a prisoner
within, with the fear of assassination
always upon him. Had he given the
reforms for which the whole nation
was yearnng, the CHASTITY precautions
would have been unnecessary. HIS
stubborn adherence to a mistaken
policy placed his life in constant
jeopardy.
That his healtn mas not DIoheh
down under the strain of nearly hVe
years i'm office is due to the fact that
he is a man of iron nerve and or
hearty habit. He has probably work.
ed harder and far more hours day
than any man in Europe, and his en-
durance is partly due to an unfailing
digestion. There are thousands who
desire to avenge the blood Of men and
women he has had put to death or
killed by the slow torture OF prison
and exile. one recoils before the
nightmare of the life from which he
cannot escape.-LOndon Leader.

AN OLD TIME LIBEL.
To Call a Man a Federalist Was an
Awful Offense.

In "A paper on Log Cabin Courts ol
Long Ago." written for Case and Com
ment, David G.. Baker tells the story
of an old libel suit in Franklin county
Ind, in which defendant was accused
of calling plaintiff "a ID old FEEDER
alist." The witnesses for the prosecu-
ton. thirty of them, were sworn all al
one time.
we will examine MIR. HerndOr
first" said General James Noble, lead
ing counsel for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Herndon, do you consider II
libelous and slanderOus to call mar
Federalist?" asked General Noble.
Il do" the old man answered.
Which would YOU rather a man
would call yOu-a Federalist or horse
thief?"

SPORT IN INDIA.
A Mornings JackaI Hunt With Hounds
and Terriers


While spending three months i'm In
dia l had sampled, as l thought, every
form of sport. A letter from an indi-
go planter friend, however, showed me
that l had not exhausted the possibil-
ties of Indian sport. Come by return

attenuated chicken and a plateful OF

takes the place of a hotel, l clambered

convey me the first fifty miles of my
journey.
Tired, hungry and just a trihe stiff

was greeted with shout of well

meet me, and in his cheerful society
the last few miles slipped by quickly
enough. Within half an hour of our
meeting we were canterng up the
mango avenue leading to his bungalow
