HREAT Britain's demand for repara-
~ ton to the widow Of William S.
Benton. who was murdered in Mexico in
February, 1914, has met with favor
able response, and the widow is to re-
ceive sum of money which will keep
her in comfortable circumstances the
remainder Of her life. 1t doesn't pay
for any nation to take the life OF q
British citizen. John Bull is on the job
to protect his sons and daughters. OF
course nothing effective has been done
by our State Department looking to re-
parations from Mexico for the several
hundred murders Of American citizens
who were peaceably conducting their
affairs in Mexico. Americans have
been given to understand by the present
Administration that if they entered into
business in foreign lands they did SO at
their own risk, and the protection OF
the Flag was renewed from them.
After March 4th the American abroad
will not have to hustle into hiding, or
seek refuge in foreign legation every
time the country he is visiting, or in
which he is doing business, is taken
with fit Of homicidal mania. We are
going to get back to the plane where
we were when Roosevelt told the Mo-

per with the freedom and threaten the

Indiana Still Use Blow Gun.

The blow gun is still popular for
hunting birds among the Koasatl In
dlans in Louisiana. This weapon con-
sists of tube, usually of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth on the In
side with an implement made for the
purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along a third of It's length with
thistledown or cotton to make 1t fit
the inside of the tube. The hunter
places a dart in the tube, which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at his game; then
with a quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with sufficient
force to impale and kill a small bird
or squirrel.
