Mr.. Storey's task Is to point out where
in legal procedure might be reformed
without changing the law, and also to
suggest one or two changes in the law
that might be made TO advantage. His
main contention. however. is that there
are too many laws as il is. We need only
apply common sense TO the administra-

ENGLISHMEN'S GAMES.

Quaint Hindu View Of the Beating and
Kicking Of Balls.
Some amusing descriptions OF Eaat
Indian life are given In Mrs. Penny's
book. "The Rajah." Here is a Hindu
servants opinion of the English de-
votion to ball games, given to four
ranis-princesses--w whom he was try
ing to enlighten:
"The English" he said. "all play ball
Some beat balls with iron shod sticks,
standing in the fields and striking with
sufficient force to break a mans skull;
some beat the ball with a long bit of
wood In front of three sticks that rep
resent their gods, some with corded
spoons over a net wall, some with
long handled hammers as they sit on
horses; some kick the ball with their
feet The balls are OF all sizes from a
small orange to a mans head"
by whose orders do they kick and
beat ballsT he was asked.
"By order of their pujaris," the syce
replied, "and he must know, because
he serves the writing sahlb."
"Why should such an order be Civ.

"They are fierce and warlike peo-
pie, those English, who must be al
ways fighting and beating some one.
II is by this means only that they are
prevented from killing each other"
"But the Missile Sahib-would she,
too, beat and fight?"

FEAT OF A MACGREG0R.
Wonderful Physical Strength That Was
Used to Good Purpose.

Used to Good Purpose.
Sir William MacGregor was the hero
of such an adventure as one expects
ordinarily to read about only in fiction
of a certain hue.
The steamship Syria, with lot OF
Indian coolies on board, struck on u
rock about twelve hours from Suva
the capital of Fiji.
DR.. MacGregor, then acting colonial
secretary, organized relief expedi-
tion, clambered over broken mast
that was the only path to the emil
grants and again and again returned
with man or woman on his back
and sometimes child, held by its
clothes between his teeth.
A man of vast physical strength,
MacGregor wanted 1t all for his final
feat Down below on the reef was "A
woman who had fallen overheard, had
got at the spirits and was mad with
drink The captain of the ship and n
police officer who had gone after her
were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid down a rope, caught the
knot of the woman's hair in his teeth
and with his hands seized the two men
and dragged them both into safety.
He went back to Suva in borrowed
suit of paJamas, having left all his
clothes and good deal OF his skin on
the coral reef.
Modest. like many heroes, Mac
Gregor left himself out Of his own re-
port, and II was FROM the governor
that the queen first heard the whole
story.-London Graphic.
