END OF WONDERFUL GUN

several friends were in the big
woods near Turtle Lake, guided by
Sam Sampson, famous hunter and
trapper. Same possesses gun with

HAS ITS ROOTS IN CONFIDENCE
So True Friendship eievates Two
Hearts Above sordid Struggles OF
Their Time.

As the love Of Romeo and Juliet eie'
waited their souls above the strife OF
their houses, so can friendship elevate
two hearts above the struggles OF
their time. though the individuals be
ever engaged in 1t: while those
friends who happily walk the same
path cheer and strengthen each other
by their mutual example; and since
essential confidence can exist be-
tween good men only, they propei each
other In the path OF virtue, for 1t Is
primary law of all intercourse, that
II two or more of the same inclina'
tor pursuit or character-good, friv-
olous or wicked-are brought In close
contact with one another, In the same
direction they will propel one another
still more rapidly. Friendship must
rest on mutually, 1t is one of its
essential qualities: for one Of its re-
quisites and blessings Is the en-
joyment OF Confidence luxury to
good men, and Aeschylus ~ right
when he says that kings suffer one
evil, they do not know how to confide
In friends: while the reason that was
! given of Trajan's having friends Is
! that he was friend of himself

ANCIENT CRIME UNPAID FOR
Murder 700 Years Ago Still Causes
Annual Tribute to Be Paid by
the Community.

Sever hundred years ago some shep-

yarra, we're murdered by shepherds OF
the Valley Of Bareton, in Bearn. the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Aries, in the Pyrenees.
II would have been difficdlt to bring
the murderers individually to justice,
and the Spaniards were Preparing 10

the French murderers had come, when
he French village proposed that peace
be maintained at the price of yearly
tax or tribute, to endure for all time,
and this proposition was accepted
without demur.
The payment of this blood tax

three cows OF a particular breed and
color-has been made ever since, the
custom-it is nothing more-having
survived even the great wars In which
both France and Spain have engaged.
and the storm OF the French revolu-

Yearly the representative men OF
the two valleys meet on the frontier,
at a certain stone, remote from any
town, and go through the ceremony
OF presenting and receiving the cattle.
The order OF procedure. which Is
elaborate and impressive. is fixed by

though the tax was paid hundred
years prior to that time.

Not by a great deal are all the old

The best of them we may strain all
our modern resources to equal and

into the history of mankind we find

often the superiors. of our very best In

luck Is not that we are superior to
them In our human material, but that
We have at our service an immensely
greater accumulation Of knowledge,
mostly about material things. Thanks
to that, we understand the laws OF
nature much better than our fathers
did, and that has helped us to make
wonderful machines, and put them to
