WarIlke African Tribe,

The Nasal are the most arrogant
and Harlike tribe Of all the native
tribes OF Africa and, man for man.
they are possibly the wealthiest PEG
pie In the world. Their wealth has
been acquired by waging ruthless war
on all the other tribes In the vicinity
and appropriating their worldly goods,
which are chiefly In the form Of huge
herds But, with all their warlike
tendencies, they have never risen
against the white man. Scarcely $4,000
In number, they held sway for genera
tons over millions Of their more
peaceful neighbors.
The Nasal are the exact reverse OF
vegetarians, for they live on nothing
but meat, considering everything
grown in the earth as despicable food
fit for monkeys, but not for men. Their
favorite drink is secured by tapping
| the large vein In the neck OF an OK
and drawing off a quantity Of his
blood, which is sometimes drunk
mixed with milk and sometimes
straight" The OK Is also their CHIEF
| food.

WAS MARRIED 70 BEST MAN
Odd Happening Recorded at Wedding
bridegroom Willing to Allow
Bride Time to Consider.

Not so long ago a strange error
occurred at a church wedding. In
some way the bridal party became
confused and at the close of the cere-
mony it was discovered that the price
had been married to the best man.
Further complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to the brides younger SIS
ter. The register had not yet been
signed, and there was nothing for
it but to perform the ceremony over
again. The mistake had arisen
through the best man undertaking to
make the necessary response for the
bridegroom, who was SO nervous as
to be unable to remember them him
self. At a wedding which took place
in country village a few years ago
the bridegroom, on being asked the
customary question, "Wilt thou take
this woman to be thy wife2 scratched
his head reflectively, and. turning I"
the bride, asked: VIII We clean my
boots?" The query was met IN the
affirmative, and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. A laughable incident once
occurred at village wedding. When
the bride had reached the church she
had forgotten her gloves, and fatty
refused to be married without them

SAVAGE Tribes Revered the Cross.

From the early days of the church
the cross was q usual emblem Of
Christian faith and hope. The first
Christians showed great respect for its
significance, with st. Paul "glorying
In the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
They used the gestural sign of the
cross extensively. Tertullian wrote in
the Second century: AT every step
and movement, when we go in or out
when we dress or put on our shoes, at
the bath, at the table, when the
lights are brought, when we go TO bed,
when we sit down, whatever 1t is that
occupies US. we mark the forehead WITH
the sign of the cross"
Even before the Christian era the
cross was en- object of religious venera;
ton among savage tribes. The deaea
Of Christ gave 1t q new meaning.

OF leaving them to starve. I have
Investigated that season, and I have
official statistics to show that nearly
twice as many elk died of starvation
that winter as were killed by the
hunters.
"The federal government drives
the elk back into the park during the
hunting season and allows them to
come out and starve to death during
the winter, and then asks why Mon
tana does not feed them.
I'm addition to the starvation of
the animals, the damage they do the
adjoining farms is incalculable. l
nave scores of letters, backed up by
testimony that has been investigated.
which shows that the elk raid the
ranches of the Yellowstone outside
the park boundaries and refuse to be
driven away, eating the hay of the
farmers and destroying range until
the livestock of the farmers die of
starvation and the elk themselves
are not saved. The national govern
ment lies down on the job and Mon
tana pays the freight, while the elk
and the farmers adjacent to the park
are the sufferers.
There are at least 10000 elk in
the Yellowstone park (the govern
ment caretakers claim 10000, and
the increase is at least 1000 per year.
I recommend that Montana kill off
500 each year and sell them to pay
the state expenditure, and also that
the Elk lodges of the nation or the
federal government purchase ranches
adjacent to the park for the purpose
OF providing winter range to keep
the animals from starving"
The committee will build a fish
hatchery at the Giant Spring below
Great Falls, at a cost of $4,000, of
which the Montana Power company
pays $4,000 and furnishes pumping
power free. A caretaker's house to
cost $4,000 is also under considera-
ton.

here rs Am EXPLANATION
OF NEW INCOME TAX LAW

Forms for making returns of in.
come for the year 1921 have been re.
vised and simplified, and contain in.
structions which is carefully followed
will be of material aid to taxpayers
In the avoidance of errors.
| Many OF these errors are due to
misunderstanding of the exemption
allowed a head of family, defined
oy treasury regulations as ''person
who actually supports and maintains
in one household one or more indiv-
iduals who are closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage or by adoption, or
whose right to exercise family con-
troll and provide for these dependents
Is based upon some moral or legal
obligation
The exemptions allowed a head of
family under the revenue act of
1921 are the same as granted a mar
ried person-s2,5OO where the net
income for 1921 was $1,000 or less
and $4,000 where the net income ex-
ceeded $1,000. Circumstances sur
rounding each individual case deter
mine largely whether a person is en-
titled to such exemption.
A single person-the term includ-
ing widowers, widows, and persons
not living with wife or husbands
the head of family If he is the sole
supporter of one or more relatives
living in the same house with him,
and II he exercises control of house
hold affairs. A married person living
with husband or wife, in addition to
the exemptions allowed such persons,
can not claim an exemption as the
head of a family, irrespective of the
support Of others in the household.
Whether person who does not
continuously live in the same house
with dependent relatives is entitled
to the exemptions depends upon the
character of the separation. If a par
ent is away on business part of the
year or child or other dependent is
away on visit, the common home
being maintained, the exemptions
may be claimed. If parent is COM
PEELED to maintain his dependent chill
dren with relatives, or in a boarding
house. the exemptions may still ap-
ply. II. however, the dependent con-
tinuously and without necessity
makes his home elsewhere than with
his benefactor, the latter Is not the
head of a family, irrespective of the
question of support.
