 The flendish fury of the Bulgar is peculiar to his race-the Tartar. He has no place among European na- tions. He is of the same stock as the Huns and yandals that cverran Europe.
 For more than a thousand years, since he invaded and held the terri tory he now occupies, he has shown himself, once the surface of super imposed civilization is scratched, to be the ferocious blood-mad descend ant of the ancestors whose boast and glory was war, torture, pillage and rape, to whom the ideal of truth was a laughing stock and the oath of honor but a means of duping an enemy
 The same conditions pertain in | Central Asia today. Go find the Pc king Gazette and read the records of the Tai-Ping rebellion in China so awful that even the Kurdish offic- ials and the Kahns of India protest ed. The little brother of the Tartar does not affiliate easily with the rule of mercy and sef-control.

This paper had call yesterday aft
ernoon from Mrs. Redding, and she
said that the version of the Redding-
Miller-Hale affair printed in the pa
pers was one-sided and unfair, and
she asked us to print "tse ether

She says that the Miller children
had placed their goats in Mrs. John
NJ. Martins yard without that lady's
permission and very much to her an

her children took the goats away.
The Miller children resented this,
and with the aid of co1ored boy, be-

Mr.. Miller soon appeared upon the
scene and, Selling her boy, threw him
to the ground and stamped him.
She refused to tell Mr.. Redding
about it for fear that it might bring

him, and on his way home Mr.. Red

Ter to warn him against repeating the
performance in the future.
AS they entered the store she says
that Mrs. Miller and the Miller boy
were all in the store, and as soon as

to Mrs. Miller in German, when that

of the affair, as will be shown when
