to that neighbors idea or justice when tho neighbor chances to be a native of africa would probably be beyond the capacity of the average man it would surely require an african mind to discover the jus tice of a claim nude by a native some years ago the story is told by doc tor grood and printed in the watch man a leopard was the cause ot the trouble the savage beast killed a fine call belonging to the rev william walker ofthe american mission in gaboon luckily for the missionary ho succeeded in driving away theblef before it had time to dovour fitto carry ce its prey it was in doing this that he acted unjustly as the sequel showed oa that same nlghftbo chief man ot one ot the little towns that make up gluon had a pie taken by a leo- pard it was natural tosuppooo that the thai was the same animal which the missionary had sent away hungry had ttu missionary allowed bis calf to be eaten the chief mans pig would have been saved to the african mind the obligation was plain the man came the next morning to mr walker asking or payment ot his pig and declarixir that the missionary was di rectly responsible for its death a still more wonderful claim was made on the explorer cameron not far nozn tho neighborhood of gaboon some of the 4angerji possessions proved unduly attractive to at native and he determined on transferring the ownership to himself he accordingly paid assothcr native two hundred dol lars to procure for him the covetted goods the assistant took the money and did his best to earn it but cameron bad perversely locked op the very articles that the fellows employer had sotniis ieart upon the man could not carry out his bargain and neither did he fol that he oould part with the money therefore he ran off with it what more logical than that the man who was the loser by two hundred dollars should expect- the explorer to make good the loss this ho assured ly did expect he went to mr cameron and tolll the five pair8 of twins li- polly polly polly tell
