CALLED OFF THE CONFESSIONS
East Indians Took Easy Way Out OF
Position That Seemed Some
what Difficult.

AT a recent meeting of the British
Royal Geographical society, Sir Percy
Sykes told a good story concerning the
natives Of Bandar Abbas, in India.
The first airplane to fly over that
part of the country gave them a great
deal of alarm. They all believed that
the Day of Judgment had come, and
turned out in vast numbers onto the
plain and began cOnfeSsing their sins
in a loud voice, among other things
relating how they cheated one another.
When the airpIane landed without
doing any harm they were in an awk-
ward position, because they all knew
how they had cheated one another
So they thought over the question for
a few days, and finally held a solemn
meeting, at which they all swore that
whatever they had said on that occa
sion was privileged.

A peculiar case once presented itself
for settlement or the west coast Of
New Ireland. A boy of nine was
brought In for Trial, accused Of the
murder Of his grandmother. He had
been taken aside, so he said, by a
party OF the elders of his village, who
said:
"Why, you are growing up now to
be a big fellow! 1t Is certainly shame
full that you should be a drain on the
food stock Of the village. We have
altogether too, many people dependent
