LICENSED TO MURDER.
Primitive Justice In the Early Days In
the Australian Bush.

Near by one Australian town,
long ago, a savage tribe had muir
dcred a family OF settlers in the
night ave one lad, who escaped
death by opportunity tumbling to
the floor between the bed and the
Eall, himself wounded, unconscious
and left for dead. What the provo
cation was nobody knows. 1t is
probable that there was no specific
provocation. 1t had doubtless been
undertaken upon savage impulse
and accomplished for nothing more
than the momentary pleasure Of
dealing death to some living crea-
ture. This was the inspiration of
many similar deeds-neither venge-
ance nor spoil, but the swift bes-
tial, wanton blood lust, INDUCED,
celebrated, laughed over for the
time and forgotten. And therein
lies a sufficient explanation Of the
terrible character of the retaliation.
Whatever the case, the boy, having
thus narrowly survived, made his
way to Brisbane, where he related
his story to the authorities, and to
such good purpose, as it turned out,
that he was given a rife and free
leave to return to the district and
shoot as MANY black fellows as he
could manage, being heartily assur-
cd that the law would not modest
him.
"You see," said our fellow travel
er, she was regularly licensed"
BY the department of game and
fsheries::" | scoffed.
SAh, come now" he replied. Il
am not joking. I do not NEAR to
say" he went on, shat the au-
thorities gave this boy an engraved
license, suitable for framing, but I
do assert that they commissioned
him to kill black fellows and that his
commission was not altogether sin
guar, out n OF q goou many. ana
he did kill black fellows-hundreds
Of them, possibly. He killed them
where he could find them, running
the bush or employed on the sta
tons, not even %hesitating in the
presence Of their white masters.
And by and by the thing became a
nuisance. It was awkward for the
station owners to have their black
boys disposed of in this way. There
we're complaints. l recall that one
station owner had his best black
servant shot from the saddle on the
road. He was very angry, but the
boy fourished his commission, anc
the station owner could do nothing
about it, Norman Duncan il

NOTHING PSYCHOLOGICAL IN CROP WEALTH

Our wheat harvest this year prom
Uses to smash all records, according
to the government report just issued.
A total of 900, 900, 900 bushels of
spring and winter wheat is forecasted.
There has been a deterioration of
only three per cent in winter wheat
since the previous months totals were
given and spring wheat shows a con-
dition of 95.5 per cent. Nothing
like this has been in prospect in a
decade.
Is it not to be wondered at that
prices of provisions have fallen in
all markets since the report was pub
lished. Such an out turn of wealth
coming in a year when oats, hay,
corn and other crops promise a beau
tiful yield, means a lower cost of
living, an enormous eXportable surplus
a vastly bigger traffic for the rail
roads, coming and going. and a real
quickening of business in all direc-
tions. We open the Panama canal
this year and the world is invited to
send its wealth through it. Our crops
and our manufactures a be made to
go to the uttermost ends of the earth
cheaper than even before with this
great world enterprise made avail
able and it is quite fitting that we
should celebrate the opening of the
canal by a production of wealth that
is dazzling.
In the face of this splendid outlook
who is there who will have the tenn
Gritty to scott and point to thousands
of idle cars on the side tracks. our
seemingly abnormal gold exports and
hesitate business in many directions?
1t is true these adverse factors exist,
but we believe they are in the process
of correction and that it will not be
long before there will be a reawaken-
ing along the line, rate increase or
none The country has been for a
long time sliding along on the mini

desire is to spread out. That desire
cannot long be kept in suppression.
How silly, in the face of the fine pros
poets ahead of US, for grown men to
suggest, as has been suggested this
week by Henry B. Joy, the automo-
bile manufacturer, a boycott by bust
ness men of those newspapers which
support the principles of the low
tariff act passed last year? JOY
would have business men withhold
advertising patronage from those
newspapers which are supporters of
the Wilson administration. w
childish to advance such a view. Joy
evidently hasn't the least notion of
the blessings that come from the
freedom of the press. He is a reac-
tionary of the worst type.-The

Barley Puddinq.

invalids do not throw the barley
away after it is strained off, but
with the following ingredients make
it into a pudding, which will be
both delicious and nutritious: Half

two tablespoonfuls Of brown sugar
and two ounces of %currants. Beat
one egg and one gill of milk; pour

chopped suet grated and a little
nutmeg and bake one hour in a hot
oven. This is a very wholesome
pudding for children.-Detroit Free

A Good Definition.

A foreign journal says that a
small boy who had been playing
nearly all day with a newly arrived
acquaintance of the family, a gem
tleman who had nearly reached his
fftieth year, said to his father when
the gentleman had gone away:
ssWhen will that young man come
again."

ther. Hes older than I am. viii
you please tell me what "a young
man, means to YOU"
"Why, a young man." answered
the boy-"a young man is one that
has a good time!"

GOODNESS OF ICE.
It Depends Upon the Temperature d
the Surrounding Air.

the Surrounding Air.
Is ice colder in winter than it Is
in summer? Many persons suppose
not. To the %unthinking ice is ice
and cannot be any colder or warmer.
Try it and see. Take a Their
hometer and bury it in a large cake
Of ice in summer or in a house
where summer temperature obtains.
1t will indicate 80 degrees. This is
not under all circumstances the
freezing point Of water.
Under normal conditions when
the temperature of the air is hover
ing about 80 degrees for several
hours the formation Of ice may be-
gin at hat exact degree on the
thermometer. On the other hand,
a bucket of water exposed during
the oncoming Of a cold wave may
not show a thin film of ice for some
times an hour or more after the
mercury has passed below the 80
degree mark.
But 80 degrees is the temperature
of melting ice. If a piece of ice be
thrown into boiling water and left
there until it is almost gone. the
small particle extracted will still be
at SO degrees. Ice can never be
got above that temperature.
Mixing salt with ice makes it
much colder. This is illustrated in
the making Of ice cream. The ice
in the freezer goes down to. near
zero.
But while ice never can be warm
ed above 80 degrees it will become
chilled as much below that point as
the surrounding atmosphere does.
Ice will cool down like anything
else on a cold night to zero or be-
low. What should prevent it? On
a day when it is just freezing tenn
perature a block of iron and a cake
Of ice in the open air will stand at
80 degrees. If the weather becomes
warmer the iron will warm up with
the weather, but the temperature
of the ice will remain at SO, al
though in the bulk it may diminish
appreciably in the melting process.
But with a falling temperature the
iron and the ice will become colder,
too, and the n just as much as
the other.
AS the ice grows colder it be-
comes harder and more brittle
This fact is observed by skaters on
the ice on a clear night when the
thermometer stands at 10 degrees
above e IT. or lower. They realize
there is something out Of gear
when they cannot with ease and
grace describe the figure S OF the
"hickory bend" as it is called in the
country. The ice has become too
brittle and chips.
Those who have been in the arc
tic regions tell us that water thrown
on the ice there will SILVER it like
pouring boiling water upon cold
glass, the ice being SO much colder
there than the water.-New York

This is the week before the county
fair and Langdon should trim up and
improve its general appearance before
the visitors arrive. One way in which
the town could be considerably i'm
proved in appearance would be if the
owners of the lots would undertake to
see that weeds around their lots are
moved down. This particularly
applies to vacant lots in the residence
portions of the city. 1t is not the
duty of the city authorities to do
this work but the duty of the individ-
ual property owner, and if it isn't
done by the owner" then it is up to the
city to see that it is done and tax it
up against the property. Now is a
good time to tidy up the appearance
of your lot.
