One juror told 'em that his wife said they should send him up for life; another said, "It would be wrong to lock a feller up so long, a lifetime sentence is too tough, a 30-year term is "enough." "You fellers ain't got any sense, the foreman says, "All this expense of boardin' him for 30-year on you birds' tax bills will appear. No wonder that we break our backs a-working hard to pay our tax, when right here in our county jail a lot of fellers^ strong and hale, is loafin' here day by day. They eat good vittles and we pay the bill for board' and room so them lazy loafers can get fat," When he got done with that there speech, they polled the jurymen, and each one voted it was his belief that they should turn loose that there thief. So they reported back to me and said to let the thief go free. "You ain't got any sense," I said. "You ought to go, to jail instead." It made me mad, but what's the use? .

WEST McHENRY, :: ILLINOIS J. W. WORTH PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT A&diia Systems Income and ! ; Inheritance Tax Matters Member of Washington, l"). C.--The tradition of the first effective a 11-American league of nations Is sinking before the rising tide of civilization. For 200 years members of the Six Nations of the great Iroquois confederacy have looked upon themselves as a distinct nation. Now, however, the remnants of the Iroquois tribes in Canada and the Senecas, Onondugas and others in New York find to their dismay that they are legally considered citisens of countries traditionally supposed by them to be their allies. Most of the old guard among the Iroquois, according to Arthur C. Parker, director of the Rochester municipal museum, in a report to Art add Archaeology, feel that for either Canada or the United States to legislate them Into citizenship was as futile as for those same countries to legislate China and Mexico into the United States or Canadian citizenship. The treaty signed by representatives of the Six Nations and the newly established republic of the United States in 1794 in Canandalgua, N. Y., is still as sacred to the Iroquois as the Monroe doctrine is to the State department. The more enlightened among their numbers, however, see, says Mr. Parker, ^nat this measure of assimilation is only economic necessity and that for Indians to seek to maintain economic Independence would be suicide. Was League to Enforce Peace. The Iroquois confederacy was a genuine league to enforce peace, but by force of circumstances developed into the most effective fighting body among the aborigines of North America. All the tribes that were not asked to participate in the confederacy were Jealous and strife naturally followed until they were subdued. The Iroquois, moreover, started and enforced the original Americanization scheme, according to Mr. Parker. Every nation that resisted its power was segregated and led to new homes and taught how to behave. Though their culture was not of a high type. In their civil and social structure they excelled. Their "consobbed I stitution" is said to be ideally adapted to the type of people for which it was designed. Women had__an important place and the council of women had the power of nominating all the civil chiefs. Women, being mothers, were regarded as more valuable than men and their ransom price when captured was twice that of a man. Iroquois Factor in Nation. In the Seventeenth century the Iroquois were an important Influence in determining whether this country would be dominated by the French or the English. Their Huron rivals in Canada looked to the French as a means of overthrowing their ancient enemy, while in New York the Iroquois looked to the British for the same end. Though the French were, on the whole, better liked, the Indians eventually found that the English were squarer to deal with. According to Mr. Parker the French forfeited the respect of their Huron allies by burning the fields and stores of corn in the Seneca villages. To burn corn, even that of an enemy, was to sin against nature, against the spirits that sustain life. Therefore the pillaging French soldiers were offending one of the vital religious principles of the Hurons as well as peek. Fate serves this dish in, its Iroquois, and so contributed their garden cup: the rain comes doWu and. share to losing for France an empire the seeds come up. Nature, ya know, has ta have a drink. Maybe a man doesn't stop ta think. Cut out the frettin'--'cause what do ya gain ? The most you can do is--just let it rain. __ In the new world.

Anna Howard ^ -- * • Tells How Irish Quit War to Pick Flowers Kilkenny, Ireland.--Even an Irish soldier will give up a fight for a flower, according to Lady Ossory of Kilkenny castle, who is once more laying out beds of azaleas on the grounds of her home overlooking the River No re. During the Irish troubles the castle was once in the direct line of attack. Lady Ossory attributes her escape from grave danger to the fact that soldiers of the Free State and Republican forces, coming from opposite directions, were distracted by the gay colors of her famous azaleas. Instead of carrying on their light they stopped to pick the flowers. The struggle is now locally known as the "battle of the flowers." Lord and Lady Ossory were besieg »;d by the rebels dufing much of the trouble. Lord Ossory inherited the property from his uncle, Lord Ormonde. . . * Americans'Launch Rival To Monte Carlo Sport Monte Carlo, Monaco.--For years humane societies have protested in vain against the pigeon shoots held in Monte Carlo under the auspices of the Casino. Thousands of birds are slaughtered to provide amusement for the sportsmen who congregate at the gambling center of Europe. Now a group of American, British, French and Italian marksmen have decided to do more than protest. They have formed a rival shooting club, with headquarters at £agnes-sur- Mer, halfway between Nice and Cannes. It is announced that the American clay pigeon will be used exclusively." This Is the first time that a definite step has been taken to rival any of the sporting activities of* Monte Carlo. fr;.'? ->£• Pigmentation of Man Attirib*t*d to Diet Man than one investigator holds the view that the ptfm«ntation of the races is due to feeding. It is pointed out that in the animal worlQ color is oftea determined by food, and it 1« contended that by chemical process the same results are shown in the different human races. According to this theory, then, the original man was black, since his chief diet must hare been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contain manganatee that ally themselves with iron, constituting "a dark brown combination." It la said that negroes who add meat and jQllk to their vegetables are never as dark as those negroes who eat only vegetables. Indians are red, It appears, because they have absorbed foe generations hemoglobin, the red substance In the blood of animals killed for food. Mongols are yellow by reason of the fact that they are descended from dark, fndt-eatlng races who penetrated Into the plains of Asia, became shepherds and lived to a great extent on milk, which contains chlorine and has a bleaching effect The Oavcasiaos were another branch who became stilt whiter by adding salt to their dietary. Common salt is a strong chloride and a powerful agent ta bleaching the skin. The effect can be seen, it is declared. In the case of negro cKlldren who have been reared on s "white" dietary.

In 1807 Rome was the only town In western Kansas snd its glory was that of a pioneer railroad community. The first house was s tent; then Buffalo BUI (W. E. Cody) built a handsome stone store where he did business for a time. Within e week there were BOO Inhabitants and soon this number Quadrupled--business men, soldiers, railroad graders, gamblers, hunters and outlaws. The stores did a tremendous business and saloons and gaming places were ablaze with activity at all hours. Then the railroad built an embankment that cut Rome off from the fort Hays City began to grow under the patronage thus thrown to Its stores, and a cholera epidemic soon drove out the last inhabitants of Rome. By 1870 the town was gone and today the traveler sees nothing but sunflowers where once was the metropolis at western Kansas.--Detroit News Dust as a Shield The British royal commission on mines has made some Interesting ex perlments on explosions of mixtures of coal dust and air. It has demonstrated that such mixtures are eminently explosive, and also that the explosions can be mitigated, or confined In area: by means of stone dust, which is not explosive. A coal dust area was placed between a dustless region and one spread with stone dust after which in explosion was produced in the coal lost by firing s cannon. The results •I>peered to demonstrate that the effects of an explosion may be transmitted to s considerable distance over a dustlesp zone by the coal dust driven before the air blast, but that the stone dust has a restraining effect--Washington Star.
