Ilia Fearful Punishment by a Primitive " Maxican Triba. Speaking of primitive law among the Mexican Indians brings to mind a curious case that was told me some years ago In the state of Oaxaca by an old Zapoteca chief who had become a convert to Christianity. He said that a long while ago an American botanist was traveling through the mountains of Oaxaca studying the rare and beautiful flora of that region. He bad with him a mozo from another part of the country. He carried several gold pieces sewed In the lining of his jacket The mozo became aware of that fact, and one day when the botanist got down on his knees to drink at a little spring the mozo cut his bead off with a machete, took the gold pieces and fled to the higher sierras. Not long after the body was found by some Zapoteca Indians who had seen the botanist in former days studying the flowers and plants near their village. They knew that he was a harmless and good man because be loved flowers. All Mexican Indians love flowers. So they took the body to the chief and told him what they had seen and found. "What!" he said. "Shall the kind stranger with the white face who loved flowers and sought not our goods nor insulted our women come to such a dog's death among us and not be avenged?" He then dispatched four swift Indian runners in different directions with orders not to return without the murderer. After a week's time tbey returned bearing the malefactor bound In their midst. A council of old men was called, and the case was examined. The guilt of the mozo was proved, as he still bad with him the strange pieces of gold. ' Then the old chief gave the sentence. It was speedily performed. They led the trembling murderer to the center of the little plaza. There four green stakes were driven in the ground. The murderer was stripped naked and stretched by the wrists and feet in the air among the four stakes, to which he was lashed. Then the Indians made a great heap of unslaked lime under the wretched man's body, and when the heap touched his breast and sides they poured water over it until the scalding steam of the burning lime had cooked all the flesh from the bones. Then they took the bones and threw them into a hole on the mountain side. . .And so was the stain of the murdered man's blood covered and vengeance was wrought by the Indians In behalf of "the white stranger who was good and loved flowers."

TROPHHF HINT Hitherto Unheard Of Animal in Africa Captured by Roosevelt.

MIKE BLOWHARD KNOWS IT PROMINENT RESIDENT OF GRAND FORKS, N. D., STATES HE HAS BEEN CHASED BY ANIMAL IN MONTANA WILDS. London, May 12. The Globe's Na ples correspondent says Roosevelt's relatives have received news that the colonel, besides shooting lions, ante lopes, rhinoceroses and hippotamuses. has captured alive a remarkable ani mal hitherto unknown. It is described as being something between a zebra and a giraffe. Naturalists call it a zerafanias. NATIVE OF MONTANA. Grand Forks. N. D.. May 12. Former President Roosevelt's achievement in capturing a zerafanias in- British East Africa set the old hunters here to talking today! " ' Truthful Mike" Blowhard, when he heard of it, related his own experience -with a zerafan ias years ago while he was trying to "cop out" a quarter section of government land in Montana that had not been thrown open for settlement. He says he barely escaped with his life, and . when he had described the animal his auditors marveled at his luck. The zerafanias, according to Mjke, is a predatory animal, with a great wealth of tawny hair. It grows to enormous size. Its head is shaped like that of an octopus. Three horns project from its forehead. One, straight out in front, is shaped like a big stick. The other two resemble the tines of a pitchfork. A Peculiar Beast. The zerafanias is a peculiar animal in many ways. It is both carnivorous and herbiferous. Its temper is extremely violent and easily aroused, when angered it bellows incessantly and attacks everything within its reach. Its best friends in the animal world, says Mike, often have felt the weight of the animal's big stick as it charged about wildly, and knows" the keen points of its pitchfork horns. Mike says he has often discussed the zerafanias with faunal naturalists who have visited thi3 section. None of them, he declares, agrees as to the ancestry of the zerafanias, but all adrait that the animal is not unknown in: America. "As free us a bird in the air," we say. Now. of all the birds of the air the eagle is king and. therefore, of all birds he Is the freest. This fact, coupled with the eagle's independence, self reliance and. unconquerable courage, caused it to be chosen as the emblem of our republic. ARREST TODAY III PROVIDENCE CASE Divorced Husband of Murdered Woman Held Now For Examination. NO CHARGE IS MADE YET IT IS REPORTED THAT ERNEST ALLEN SOUGHT A RECONCILIATION WITH HIS FORMER WIFE BUT ATTEMPT FAILED. Providence, R. I., May , 12. Ernest Allen, the divorced husband of Laura E. Regester, who was strangled to death in a lonely glen in the cemetary of the Sons of Israel on the eve of her second marriage, . was arrested today and put through a, rigid examination by the police. , No specific charge is made against him although the authorities desire to learn his whereabouts on the night of the murder. Allen lived at Hope Val ley, forty miles away. Sheriff Barber, upon learning of his whereabouts, was whirled away t Hope Valley t.n an automobile and brought Allen back with him. On Revenge Theory. It is reported that Allen sought a reconciliation with his former wife re cently, but his mother-in-law refused to countenanco his advances. The po lice are working upon the theory of revenge because the girl had not been robbed. They asked Allen particu larly if he knew of any enemies she might have had. Allen seemed to accept his predicament cooly. ; While the grewsome de tails of the murder were unfolded he retained his sclf-potscssion and was ready with his answers as quickly as questions were asked.

New York. May 12 If any woman is so foolish as to think she is not a slave to fashion, let her understand right now that she has a grand mas ter. That is . the title of the head or the United Ladies Tailors' Associa tion of America, a brand new organization, which is going to do for fashionable gowns what Dr. Wiley has done for pickles and canned beans. That is the association of which Samuel Paull is the grand master, is going to make frocks honest by refusine hereafter to say they are made on Parisian models, when as a matter of fact, they are after original designs from Pawtucket or Altoona, U. S. A. It is not love of country or love of a narticular bust line that has insti gated the revolt so much as the re sentment of an artistic soul against the commercial necessity of having to repudiate its own creations and label them falsely. "Every woman in America, especial ly every woman in .New York." said Grand Master Paull today, "thinks she gets a French model when she has a new dress made. They are all labeled Paris befcause the women demand It, but not one gown in a thousand that is made in this country is after French designs.

an, which is straight and fine. The fashionable French woman Is skinny and stoop shouldered, because the Paris dressmakers, for generations, have been modeling clothes that would make her skinny. "We artists of America are not only determined to have the credit which belongs to. us, but to save the American girls of the next century from being skinny. It is a grand work. "Suppose somebody should say to Rembrandt, That is a fine picture you have painted. and he should have to lie and say he didn't paint it at all. but a Frenchman did it. That's the case with us exactly. "Did you ever see a French woman and an American woman without any clothes on standing side by side? No, pardon me, I mean with the outer garments removed.. I mean that the French woman cares all for her face and nothing for her figure. The American woman thinks first of her figure. Twice every year we are to have a convention of the model committee, made up from the tailors of every city . of the country, and the committee will issue an official statement as to what the styles of the coming season are to be."CCUKD TCI?
