Putumayo Indians.

The Indians of the Putumayo dis
trict of Peru, whose brutal abuse by
the rubber companies has aroused
the world, are described in a recent
issue OF Folklore by Capt. T. W.
Whiffen, who apparently lived among
them before they we're subjected to
the white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
a pretty hard lot themselves. For
example, they kill the second twin
at birth. and the mother always
browns a sickly or deformed child.
They kill their prisoners and eat
them. In fact they were still in the
stone age when Captain Whiffen
studied them. and, contrary to the
opinion of Doctor Martin, had never
been any higher in the evolutionary
scale. Their only social function was
a sort of dance, to which the partici-
pants and audience we're summoned
by the beating of drums so loud that
1t could be heard for a distance of
eight or ten miles. One Of the curl
Gus customs described by the captain
was their method of using tobacco.
The leaf was made into a "treaclay
decoction" and this was licked cere-
monially" by friends In the tribal
palaver, and also as a sort OF binder
like an oath-in making Q con.
tract.

she had one on her father. her mother
and the windmill. Then she invented
and dedicated poems to everybody for
five miles around, and when the per-
sonal field was exhausted she went
for the sun and moon and stars and
the bowling gales and balmy breezes.
Very early in her poetic career the
widow Drew was called fool and a
lunatic by most people that knew her,
and it was predicted that no man
would ever look at her with a view to
marriage No man in his sober senses,
they argued. could abide such a wife.
Sarah knew what the general feeling
was, and she took advantage of the oc-
casion to write:
They say I'm fool because I do write
Most beautiful verses by day and by
night;
They say / must live single because I'm
a poet,
But I'd like to know how in Sam Hill
they know it,
They didn't know it. They weren't
even good at guessing. After about
two years of widowhood and poetry,
along came cattle-raiser worth about
thirty thousand dollars and read one
Of her poems at the village inn, and
half an hour later he knocked at the
door.
I've taken a solemn vow to marry
a poetess or no one. viii you be
miner
And five minutes later she answered
him with:
Oh G. B. Smith would marry me,
And a fine looking man Is that G. b.;
I've said him yes, and we shall wed,
And happy be till both are dead

HAD LEARNED THE LESSON
Little Glory Saw at Once the Value Of
Tact, and Was Quick to
Use It.

Children" said Mr.. Timkins, who
had been suddenly moved to deliver
little sermon, as he swallowed his sec
ond egg at breakfast, whenever you
hear anybody say anything mean or
unpleasant, act as though you hadn't
heard it. Talk about something else
and pretend you didn't hear. That's
what we call tact"
Then Mr. Timkins took the s:13
train to the city. When he got back
In the latter part of the afternoon he
observed that somebody had strewn
his favorite golf clubs and all his golf
balls over the front yard. Summoning
his six-year-old daughter Glory, he
said sternly:
GLORY. did you get all dads golf
things out and put them out here
where anybody could steal them?"
Dad" replied Glory with perfect
composure, isn't 1t too bad our Ice
cream freezer's out of order-'cause
Mary can't make any ice cream? But
Mary's gone to the store to get some
Strawberries"
GLORY, did you dig up all this turf
knocking those balls around?"
"And Uncle Randolph came and
took mother for ride in his auto"
continued the six-year-old. when are
we going to have an auto. dad?'
But, Glory" said Mr.. Timkins, Il

Middle Names Once ILLEGAL.

People have not always been al
lowed the pleasure of having as many
names as they wished; indeed, 400
years ago not even a middle name
was allowed In England. 1t was lille
gal The old English law was definite
and admitted of no infraction of its
ruling. The only exception made to
this iron-clad regulation was in the
case Of persons Of royal rank. If they
really wished 1t they could boast a
middle name, but woe to the person
of ordinary rank who was sufficiently
unwise or obstinate to insist on hav-
ing more than two appellations.
For the first offense he would very
likely be tied to a whipping post
and severely dashed. For a second
offense he would endure some more
lasting punishment, perhaps the re-
moyal Of his thumbs or his ears. And
If he still persisted In his stubborn
ness he would be hanged
There is a case on record of poor
MANN all probability half demented
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. OF course he passed
through all the legal stages of pun
ishment until he was finally hanged.

MYatlclam of the East.

You hear a great deal of the "Mys-
ticism of the east" writes Ed. W.
Howe in his Travel Notes. This mys-
ticism is as foolish as the doggerel
used by children when they count the
buttons on your coat: Rich man,
poor man, beggar man, thief" and so
on. Mysticism never means anything
The west solves riddles and discov-
ers how to produce a hundred bush
els Of corn to the acre; the east pays
great attention to mysticism and has
more poor. dirty and ignorant people
than any other part of the world.
When the plague breaks out in the
east, as a result Of foolish pilgrimages
to Mecca or Benares, the pilgrims say
the plague is part of the mysticism
of the east, and continue to drink
holy and dirty water But the men
of the west have a better doctrine.
It's chief tenet is, "Clean Up" and the
plague disappears before it.

SETTLED THE JUDGES DOUBTS
Naive Statement Of Convicted Muir
derer Removed All Question as
to His Guilt.

When Judge Stewart of Vermont
presided at the trial of negro charged
with murder of another of his race he
admitted afterward to friends that he
had serious doubts of the prisoners
guilt until he began to pronounce SEN
tance.
The negro had pleaded not guilty
and repeatedly, on being questioned,
had asserted with much emphasis, 81
didn't do it," The evidence was not
convincing. and the judge was sur
prised when the jury brought in ver-
dict of guilty. His doubts vanished
when, after reminding the negro that
he had been tried by a jury of IL men,
etc., he said: 1T is my duty to warn
you that your days on earth are num-
bered, and it behooves you to avail
yourself of the little remnant of time
allotted to you to make peace with
God"
Just there the negro broke in with
the exclamation, "Ah done dat already,
jedge, befo' All went out ter kill dat
niggah!"

many changes, largely effected by him
self, in his Balkan kingdom since he
ARRIVED there in 1866 after an adven-
turous journey in disguise from Ger
many. Notable among them are the
changes in his capital and in his own
palace. When he made his triumphal
entry as the country's new prince the
carriage reached a house before which
Ia guard of honor was stationed. What
house is that?" he asked. That is
the palace" replied General Goleski.
The prince. thinking he had misunder-
stood him, said: Where is the pal
ace?" And the general was SO embar-
raised that he could only point silent
lily to the one-storied building. The
principal feature Of the view from the
windows on one side was a gypsy en-.
campment, with swine wallowing In
the main road before the palace!

Rebate on HIs JAN sentence.

A San Francisco lawyer tells of the
following quaint administration of
justice in sparsely settled district
in Arizona.
A man was sentenced to pay fine
of ten dollars or spend ten days in
jail. Inasmuch as he possessed but
three dollars, the court accepted that
amount In lieu of three of the days
of Imprisonment
Now, by some carelessness on the
part of the jailer, this person was
detained In the lookup for the full ten
days. Naturally the man filed claim
for redress.
When this was presented to the
court the presiding Judge admitted
that the man should have some "al-
lowance and return" but his honor
could not see any way to accomplish
this. But after due reflection he
made the following suggestion:
you might get sentenced again for
something. Then we could give you
three days for kind Of rebate That's
the only way l see to Ak up the
matter

Josephus Daniels, Jr., son Of the
secretary of the navy, has been re-
ceiving nearly all of his fathers
presents to the exclusion of the 9TH
er sons In the family. Because his
initials are the same as those of his
distinguished father, he has a sort OF
a right Of eminent domain to the
property.
Recently the secretary of the navy
received gavel which Josephus, Jr.,
was about to appropriate by and with
his fathers consent
This will not do" announced Mrs.
Daniels.
The secretary Of the navy inquired
why.
Because" said Mrs. Daniels, Il
don't want you to forsake your life
long principles and establish a close
corporation in the family at this late
day."
Josephus, Jr., gave the present to
Worth Bagley Daniels and the close
corporation was forever broken.
