HEADHUNTERs.

HEADHUNTERS.
THE headhunters Of -Borneo are
! good example OF the fact that
morals are nothing but customs, and
that anything may become moral IN
der certain circumstances.
You naturally think Of a head
hunter as q terrible sort OF savage
As a matter Of fact. the headhunters
are very good savages. They are
kindly and reliable; they do not cheat
or lie. and they have much artistic
ability and good taste. They hunt
heads because it is a part Of their
religion to do so. When a chief dies,
every good dyak feels that it Is up
to him to go forth and Kill four or
five men. just as good citizen in
this country feels that It is up to him
20 20 forth and kill N case the gov
eminent decide5 TO have war
The Borneo headhunter is not eS-
cessive or brutal about his headhunt-
ing. He takes only few heads at a
time. and these he treats with the ut
most consideration. He drills little
hole in the skull Of each one and
neatly removes the brains. The hair
he takes off and makes into artistic
decorations for his shield. The rest
Of the head is dried before a great
fire, the eyes often being treated with
rosin TO preserve their life Ike ap-
eparance. Afterward the native
hangs this head in his house and
treats il with great reverence. He
apologizes to It for having taken It's
owners life, and he feeds 1t rice
through the hole which he has bored
in its skull He believes that in fu-
ture life, the owner Of this head VIII
be his servant.
Thus it is seen that the headhunter
does not cut off heads in rash OF
ruthless spirit. He honestly believes
that he is solving the servant prob
lem for distant posterity-

After she had walked along the road

know the way to certain point. She
answered him and then attempted to
let him pass. Instead of going on his
way the man grasped her. she said. and
pressing a revolver to her side, put his

say to the suit of fine clothes. Sit thou
there. that's for quality"
Benjamin Franklin once upon a time
propounded n theory that the language
Of the Bible was obsolete and therefore
the inspired volume was less popular
with readers than it might be.
The philosopher offered specimens Of
the first chapter of Job as he thought
it ought to be to make the Bible good
light reading.
Franklin's specimens follow:
Verse 6: And it being levee day
in heaven, all Gods nobility came to
court to present themselves before him :;
and Satan also appeared in the circle
as one of the ministry"
In the King James version this is ::
"And it came to pass on the day when
the sons of God came to present them
selves before Jehovah. that Satan also
came amongst them"
Frankln's translation of Verse :
/ And God said unto Satan: You have
been long time absent where were
NouE And Satan answered: | have
/ been nt my country seat, and in differ
cnt places visiting my friends.
As translated by the ancient schol-
ars: And Jehovah said unto Satan
| Whence comcst thou? Then Satan an
swcred Jehovah and said: From going
to and fro in the earth. and walking
up and down in it.
Verses 9 and II, Franklin version
And Satan answered: Does your
Majesty imagine that his (Job'sl good
conduct is the effect of mere personal
attachment and affection?
'Try him. Only withdraw your ia e.
vor. turn him out of his places. and
withhold his pensions. and you will find
him in the opposition"
! Which. in the King James version,
read: Then Satan answered Jehovah,
and said, Does Job fear God for
nought? But put forth thy hand now,
and touch all that he hath, and he
will renounCe thee to thy face.
Iierod and the Dancer
( DR.. Edward IIarwood, who wrote in
London in 11GS. made "A Liberal
Translation" of the Bible Dean Pen
niman gives this specimen:
"Thc daughter of IIerodias
n young lady who danced with inim
liable grace and elegance" (Matthew
| II 90.
In the original this reads: Tut

daughter of II"rodias danced in the

TRANSLATE the Bible into plain
l. language? Henry Ford may have
thought of it, as his testimony in his
81 900, 900 libel suit indicates. But he
certainly didn't think of it first.
"Wcrc you at ono time going to have
Mr.. Browncll rcwritc the Bible" he
was asked on tho witness stand at
Mount Clemens. Mich.
Il think Mr.. Browncll at one time
suggested to me to put the Bible into
plain language. said Mr.. Ford 1--WE
talked about it.
did you negotiate with Brownell
about putting it in plain language"
Here the court interrupted to re-
mark. ~ don't see how that is mate
rial in this case.
Many other men. years before Mr..
Ford rode to fame and fortune on his
popular priced motorcar, have sug-
gcstcd that. the sonorous phrases of old
King James scholars he brought up to
date.
Some of the historic attempts to re-
translate the Bible are mentioned in
the recently published "a Book About
the English Bible" by Dean Josiah II.
Prnniman, of the University Of Pcnnsyl-
vania.
They were serious offers of new
version that would be thoroughly mod
crn. The passing years have made
these translations of bygOnc ages look
more archaic than the classic English
of King Jamcs's transators.
Hypocrites and Fasting

brought this up to date as follows
"Whcn yp fast, don't put on dismal

of First corinthians, IL :51 "Wc

Adventures
With a Purse

THE jolly comical little kewpie dolls
l. have been put to another use-and
most novel one. They now are tai
cum powder holders! Standing about
six inches high with the usual irrcsisti
bic expression and beguiling smile,
they are to all intents and purposes
just plain kewpie dolls. But here is
their secret---while nobody would ever
seriously believe she'd find brains in
their heads, she nevertheless wouldn' t
expect to discover talcum powder. But
sure enough. right at the ending of the
place in their heads where l doubt not
the cerebrum or "antebcllum' ought
to be, 10 and behold there's a little
perforated top from which one shakes
talcum powder, sweetly scented. Filled
with powder and attractively boxed
they cost 81.
One shop is having special sale of
nightgowns, priced at $1.T5. although
originally costing more. These are
severely plain kimono nighties, with
just a Bit of hemstitching. There are
the well liked high wasted gowns with
rubber girdles, and there are others
sleeveless, with yokcs of all-over EN-
broidery. Most of them are white, al =

and see them, for they are exceptional

which has been copied from a S1TI

is only $3.50, it looks like much
more expensive pin. and would be most
effective on dark dress.
