Men Who Walked on All Fours.

In the kingdom of Poland there was
formerly a law according to which any
person found guilty of SANDER was
compelled to walk on all tours through
the streets Of the town where he lived
accompanied by the beadle, as a sign
that he was disgraced and unworthy
Of the name Of man. At the next pub
lie festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon hands and
knees underneath the b%anqueting ia
BILE and barking like a dog. Every
guest was at liberty to give him as
many kicks as he chose. and he who
had been slandered must toward the
end Of the banquet throw a picked
bone at the culprit. who, picking 1t up
with his mouth, would leave the room
on all tours.

PEPYS' LITTLE FEAST.
At Which the Disrist Jared Better
Than He Did on Washday.

MI. Samuel Pepys, of the famous
DIARY" had rather more than his
share of human weaknesses and frail-
ties, but had he been a better nan it
is certain that his DIARY" would have
been a duller book.
1t Is. for example, an undoubted fact
shat Mr.. Pepys was something of a
lormand-was rather fonder of the
table and Of the delights thereof than
a really wise man ought to have been.
1t is to this trait in his character and
to his curious habit of jotting down
rough notes of what he had had for
dinner that we owe u thousand little
details regarding the table of well to
do Englishmen In the reign of his
memory.

ing for a nice, dainty little mealf 1t

When the present pastor. Dr.. F. A.

Many Expressions of Sympathy

While 1t can be safely calcu-

TWO AMERICANS
WERE MURDERED
At Least 1t Appears So,
From Evidences at Ranch
Near COlOnia OaXaca.

Douglas. Ariz.. Aug. S.-That two
7anore American lives have been added
to the already long list OF murdered
foreigners in Mexico. is the opinion Of
the friends of GOrdie Boyd and j.
Boyd, owning the Carretas ranch, 20
miles east OF C0lonia Oaxaca- The
Boyd brothers with their father, J. j.
Boyd, have been located at the ranch
for the past 20 years or more. Re-
Gently the two boys have been alone
at the ranch with a Chinese cook.
The last known Of the two was on
July 80, when they made a trip TO
Ojitas for their mail, leaving there to
return to the ranch Two days later.
a pack train reached the camp OF
Gen. Sanjines from Bavispe, having
passed by the ranch house.
Tie house was found wide open and
deserted. All of the ranch horses
were missing as well as pack of bear
hounds, owned by the brothers, Lying
about the house and inside were be-
tween 500 and 40e empty cartridge
shells, showing marks of having only
recently been used. The Chinese cook,
who had not been known to leave the
ranch for years had also disappeared.
The matter was reported to Cen
SanJines, who Immediately sent an Of
ncer to make an investigation. The
officer returned to camp confirming
the story told by the packers but I'M
able to add sny details.
The report that the boys had been
murdered was denied today by the
father of the boys.
