Indians Of the Andes Mountains XIII
These OF Race Who Reach
Fateful Limit.

High In the Businesses Of the Andes
mountains Of Peru there lives race
which sets an age limit and kills all
Of It's people who reach the fateful
mark. In each village an official IS
appointed to terminate the careers Of
persons who live too long.
Different communities, however,
have different ideas as to what limit
should be placed on human existence.
In some places the only duty of the
eNecutoner appears to be to secure
the presence Of man at his own fu-
neral in the title role" If a person
becomes so III that his funeral becomes
certainty in the near future. a date
is fixed for the same, and if the lead
ing figure shows disposition TO be IN
punctual, the village executioner takes
the matter In hand.
The Andes natives are of Indian
descent, possibly from the Quichau
Indians, according to scientists They
live in adobe novels and are said never
to remove their clothing They are
very shy aud have no diversions aside
from chewing coca leaves, from which
modern scientists extract cocaine.

British Courts of Ancient Origin

Among the courts of ancient origin
in Great Britain, most interesting
one still exists at Bristol, the last one
remaining Of the Pied Poudre courts
which were established more than 200
years ago at places where large fairs
were held, and attended by foreigners.
The courts were provided, especially
IL the fair was at Il seaport town, TO
deal with differences of opinion which
were likely to arise between people
who could not understand each others
speech. They were called Courts or
Pied Poudre or Dusty Feet, from the
dusty feet of the travelling bagmen and
pe0dlers whom II was intended to help.
In time the Pied poudre became
Pye Powder court.
