Mock Marriage Proved Legal.

Wagner.-Four young people of this
city are much wiser at this time in the
ways of the world and especially the
justice of the peace powers. Thinking
that they could have a little fun at the
expense of a city justice and pull off
something for a joke the parties
framed up a mock marriage with the
justice as the leading actor Of their
drama. The young people after going
to the justice entered into a marriage
contract, which, according to the at
torneys, is binding, and as a result are
supposed to be married. Much indig-
nation has been aroused by the con-
duct of the justice while the opinions
of others is that the young folks re-
ceived a punishment, which they de-
served. One of the young men depart
ed on the freight for parts in the east,
and indications are that he will not
modest the scenery around this city
for some time to come. The result
seems to be that the joke is on the
jokers.

When you come to think of 1t. there
Is really no excuse for any man pay

G~lASS-MAKING BY MACHINERY
Inventors Were Long in P%erfecting
Process, But Their Persistency
Has Overcome All Obstacles.

1t was only within recent years that
the art of making window glass by ma
chinery was mastered, the old crude
hand methods which had been the
only means known for hundreds of
years dying hard and slowly. Inven-
tors and skilled mechanics found all
their efforts resisted, not so much be-
cause OF any particular opposition on
the part of the hand-workers, but be-
cause they were unable to perfect the
correct form Of machinery for their
purpose. Even now a considerable
quantity Of window glass is still hand
made, but machinery Is everywhere
displacing the process. Until about
twenty years ago a man with a blow
pipe represented tie only method Of
producing window glass. and the
sheets were limited to about two feet
by three feet, even then containing
defects which could not be avoided
BY the perfecting OF the cylinder and
sheet-drawing process 1t has recently
become possible to manufacture glass
of good quality and beautiful clarity In
about the same name that paper Is
made-that Is. in a continuous sheet.
Machinery does everything, taking the
glass from the molten mass in the fur
mace. handling 1t automatically through
all its changes until it is delivered on
a table, ready to be washed. cut and
boxed for shipment. These machine.
made sheets have already been made
as large as five feet wide by ten feet
long, and apparently the size is limited
only by the size Of the machine. The
first commercial factory for making
continuous sheet drawn window glass
was built In Pennsylvania In 1907.

London.-The rising among the
tention to one Of the most remarkable
Of the native races in South Africa.
Basutoland is a s~elf-governing native
territory under the aegis of the Brit
ish crown. The spirit of British pol
icy toward it was strikingly revealed
recently by Lord Gladstone when be.
fore thousands of Basutos he first
proclaimed GrifIiths the future king,
and then, as the servant Of King
George, saluted the new ruler OF the
Basutos.
Thirty years ago Great Britain
started upon the experiment Of help
ing the Basuto nation to govern itself.
Today no matter what test of progress
is applied to that country, half as
large again as Wales. the response is
conclusive. There is loyalty to the
crown, racial peace, national vitality,
religious amity and economic sta
bility.
The critics Of 80 years ago pre-.
dicted disaster, and not without somo
reason. The Beers had tried to con
quer the Basutos and failed, British
expeditions ended in disaster, British
sovereignty was proclaimed and aban-
doned. The Orange Free State de,
clared war against the Basutos and
received such a hot reception that
they had to give up. The Cape parlia-
ment too tried to govern this distant
territory, but failed and abandoned
it.. Then a new era dawned, the ad.
ministration OF Basutoland by the
Basutos and for the Basutos alone,
under the guidance of q British adj

The chancellor Of the. e%xchequer OF
Basutoland must be a happy man, for
he has never faced a deficit. The
taxation in Basutoland is about four
shillings six pence per capita per an
mum upon a population OF 400, 900 and
every year the budget shows a sur
plus. The country has no debt, but
ends the realized surplus to other ma
tive territories or places large sums
on fixed deposits in the South Afri-
can bank. The accumulated surplus
standing to the credit of the Basuto
administration is more than $3.50, 900.
Before the commencement of the
British experiment Of home rule I'M
der the Crown Basutoland was seldom
free from wars, rumors of wars and
tribal fights, which gravely prejudiced

while many tropical and sub-tropi-
Cal territories are feeling acutely their

with extraordinary rapidity. In 1891
the population was 218,324 and in 1901

next decade, 1911, to something over
