A story is told of a high Bast In­ dian officer who was in the habit of soundly thrashing his servants when they displeased nim. One day he ordered his khansamah to go to a summer house in the compound and wait for him there, presently tam ­ ing up with a heavy norsewlup. He then addressed the offebder: "How, you scoundrel, I’ve got you in a place where no one can hear, and I ’ll just thrash you within an inch o f your life!" The servant, though a man -o f powerful physique, squirmed, na­ tive-like “ Sah, you sure no one can hear?" "Yea,you scoundrel; I’ve brought you here on purpose!” "Then, sah, I think I thrash yon!" And he did it to thoroughly that bis master was not visible for a week. •#** Before Prayers. An Episcopal missionary, says Lippincotfs, visited one of the out­ lying districts in hia territory for tne purpose of conducting prayer in the nome of a large family not con­ spicuous for its piety. He made known his intentions to the woman o f the house, and she murmured vaguely that she would go out and “ see." She was long in returning, and after a tiresome wait the mis­ sionary went to the door and called, with some impatience: "Aren’t you coming in? Don’t you care anything about yonr souls ‘Souls!’’ yelled the head of the family from the orchard. "W e haven’t got time to fool with our souls when the bees are swarmin'." r Hs Will Rsfsrm. A young man was standing at the gate waiting for hia sweetheart, and when at last she appeared he re­ marked kindly: "What a time you have kept me waiting!“ "Oh. desk roe, how fussy you ............... jserved. “ Why, 1 didn’t promise to meet yon until a quarter of 8, and it’e only two minutes after 8 now.” *Ab, Margie dear," replied the young man, “ hat you have made e alight mistake.

As the public do­ main has been shrinking in area the government has frown more vigilant in compelling ODaervanoe of the law relating to the manner in which such land may be secured. There wea a time, however, when it was comparatively easy for land bbers to get title to as much d as they wanted with the aid o f a few accommodating witnesses. The commissioner o f the general land office tella a story illustrating how this was sometimes done and showing incidentally that there are men who have a fine sense o f tech­ nicalities of the law. Under the desert land act it is neceasary, in order to prove up a claim, to produce evidence that the claimant has taken water on to ev­ ery legal subdivision of his entry. A certain claimant, says the com­ missioner, took a party o f in a buckboard to drive over his claim so that they would be able to testify regarding hia compliance with the requirements of the law. He was a conscientious man and wanted no one to swear to anything but the actual truth. He according­ ly tied a bottle o f water behind the buck hoard and then he punctilious­ ly drove over the land and every le­ gal subdivision thereof. This being accomplished, the witnesses were given blank forms to fill out, and they were about to make affidavit to the allegations therein set forth when one of them stopped and, pointing to the bottle, snowed his comrades that the cork had come out of it and that all the water had escaped. ‘ Gentlemen," he said, “ I can’t sign this affidavit. How do I know that there was any water in the bot­ tle when we drove over the claim ?*’ — Washington Star. R eel Estate Transfers.
