POETRY COST TWENTY MARKS
Extraordinary Case Of Filming a West
phalian Miner for Insulting .
St-ike-6reaker.

The strike in the Westphalian
mining district has been over for
months, but Beleidigung prosecu-
tions against the strikers are still
occupying the courts. Readers will
remember some cases Of hard justice
meted out there: How the mother Of
nine children went to Jail for week
for saying, "Ffui, Strike-breaker :"
and how a mother and her nursing
baby occupied a cell for several days
for a crime of no greater import.
The capsheaf, however, appears to
have been put on in case just de-
cided. A striking miner was accused
of calling out to a strike-breaker a
line of an old poem, "Three words |
name, Of import grave Of adding
these three words, "Ui. wau, pauz. ="
In these words Of import grave the
vigilant prosecuting attorney discoy-
cred a severe insult, and the court
adopted his view. I'll" said the
learned judge, lis unquestionably
the last part Of 'pfui.' 'Pauz' APP
pears to he likewise the concluding
syllable of slang expression some
times applied to strike-breakers. We
are unable to determine exactly what
'wau' means in this connection but
regard the insult as established by
the other two words" The unfortu-
nate quoter Of poetry was fined 20
marks.

LIJRlNG MONKEYS TO DEATH
Certain African Natives Know Their
Language and Use II to
Kill Them.

A surveyor who has returned after
spending three years on the upper
Congo believes that some Of the ma
tives Of darkest Africa know the
monkey language He saws:
1T was when we were going down
the rivers that we made the acquaint-
snce Of the monkeys. We could hear
them in the forests, chsttering to
each other and calling plaintively,
almost like human beings. AT first
] could hardly believe they wee
monkeys: | thought they we're tribes
Of natives, and some of their cries
we're like those of children who had
been frightened.
ut was the weirdest thing to see
them swinging along one of the
boughs of the trees, hand in hand or
Qrssping each others tails. They
would swing together in this fashion,
forming a bridge right across the
stream, and then our carriers would
get quite excited. They we're very
fond of monkey flesh. As we APP
preached the animals the natives
would ship their paddles and sit
quiet, while the best marksmsn
would hold a gun so that he could
have a good aim. As he rule, he
would bring down one of the mon
KEYS with a scrpech, and "a sOon as
the result Of the shot was seen some
of the men would jump overheard
and swim to the body, bringing it
back to the boat in great glee.

MOTHER WINS BABY

Accompanied by Attorneys and
Deputy sherlfis, lnvades Rail
Maonate's Home.

Los Angeles Mrs Virginia mellow
ell Clark-Tanner took forcible posses
sion of her infant son. J, Ross Clark II,
whose legal custody had been grant
ed her by Judge Robert Clark, but
whose actual custody was denied by
the grandfather. j. Ross Clark. vice
president of the Salt Lake railroad
A dramatic scene was enacted at
the Clark home when the young moth
er appeared accompanied by two at
torneys and two deputy sheriffs and
armed with a hastily drafted order by
Judge Finlayson giving her immediate
possession of the child
Several times during the day Mrs
Tanner had gone to the Clark home
and demanded the child, in accordance
with the court order, and each time
was refused.
MIR. and Mrs. Clark and their attor-
neys contended that the court order
had given technical custody OF the
child to Miss Margaret Hebron, the
nurse, and that as Miss Heffron had
become suddenly i'll and could not be
moved without cndangering her life,
the child would have to remain there.
Mrs. Tanner and her attorneys then
searched the city for Judge Clark.
That iurist had returned to Ventura,
and Judge Finlayson was appealed to
He Immediately gave an order to Sher'
if Hammell to secure the boy and de-
liver him to Mrs Tanner.
Admittance to the Clark home was
denied the party until the order was
shown. and a locked door to the nur'
sery barred the way after they had
entered the house.
The officers demanded that the door
be opened, or they would break 1t
down. and when it swung open Mrs.
Tanner rushed in and seized the sleep
ing child from its cradle.
Despite the protests Of the grand
parents and their attorneys. the Tan
ner party departed with the child and
the-nurse, who was said to have been
threatened with appendicitis, dressed
herself and accompanied them.
