From the curliest days of history war bas given Inspiration to the artist, und the work of his hands comes down to us on the walls of undent Egypt, worn with the passing of thousands of years; from the ruined temples of ou tline Greece, built centuries before the Christian era. The picture writing of primitive and savage peoples describes exploits of war; tunny archaic war pictures, brought to flew after ages of burial under desert snuds, bear much similarity to Indian drawings of our own near time and laud. Onee. years ngo. nway up on the Poplar river, in Montana, I hought barlered for, I suppose 1 should say, as the purchase was made mainly by the medium of tea. tobacco and sugar a "painted" robe right off the back of the war chief of a band of Vaiiktonnals Sioux our troops bad "rounded up" and brought into the agency. The skin was a line "black bull," tanned on tho undersldo to the softness of tho tinest ehamois leather and decorated with naive pictorial representations of the deeds of war of old Kill-Tliem In a-riule -as the soldiers translated the iiatno given the chief from some episode In his murderous career which In color, In grace and firmness of line were cu riously like pictures from the pencil of some artist of the Egypt of old. Tho glory of war Is the theme; the exultation of the sovereign, the con queror, forms tho chief motive of the war picture of antiquity. Tho monarch was the hero before whoso terrible sword nil foes gave way, to whom vic tory camo through his personal might and prowess. The warriors of the Greeks are shown ns timdels of virile strength and grace: their attitudes in the fury of combat lost nothing of artistic beauty In the realism of the rendering. Tin lnf!nenet of the (Jreek masters of their art Is evident In battle pictures t a time twostore and more centuries lat-r. Unfits Kalrcbild Zog bautn In Sriihner'a. MEDIEVAL PUNISHMENTS. Quner Old Laws of England That Hava Never Eocn Rcvskecl. Althuii'.'h the stoeks, like the pillory and the (bieUin.? stool, have been dune away with, a it of punishments sur vive In England whleh are every bit as medieval. Tli.' most ludicrous of these exist tn tti" two services tin army and navy which were renowned In the past for the cruelties praeth-ed In them In the name of Justice. "Keelhauling" as car ried out In the navy nsefl, of course, to ntuomit to execution by (drowning, while In th? army 'running the gant let" was i. popular way of punishing troublesome sul!leis. Here Is another queer punlshmem which never Ins been removed from the st itute imol:. It you are motoring or driving in England beware lest you run over anybody, for If you do so am! cause bis death your motorcar or car riage can be coniiscated. Even a fall lug tre that caused the death of a hu man being can be taken from Its owner The strangest punishment which still survives under modern law In England Is that of "outlawry." Only a few years ago in 11)00 t l exact a law yer chnrged with forging u check was 'outlawed" In the Glasgow high court, By this sentence the persou of the w cused Is declared forfeit lie cannot bear testimony in n court nor sue nor defend nti 'ictlon. He cannot act on a Jury nor vote ut an election nor act as tutor ur guardlau to unothec person. If any one robs him tie bas no redress. If any one kills him it seems rather doubtful if that person can be banged. Pearson's Weekly. Ona of New York's Tiny Streets.
