Mr. Ray Thomsa. of Birmingham,
Is spending sometime here with

Walter Goodfelinw, wlm led ;

Guinea, aaya of the very primitive
people found there: “The uativer
wear no clothing, but this needs tn
be qualified in the case of widows in
mourning. At such time a woman
is very much covered up. She wears
elaborate grass clothes, like a long
mantle, and has a thing resembling
a huge poke bonnet over her head.
She also paints her face with yellow
ocner. The natives mourn for men,
but not much for women. At the
moment of death a great wailing
or screaming is net up, and every
body covers himself with mud. The
dead are always buried in the morn
ing about an hour before daylight.
Daring the night the whole village
evidently ait up wailing. One would
start off in a quavering voice high
above all the other voices, and they
would keep this up for hours and
hours. The dirge or wailing song
which they chanted was most im
pressive during the silence of the
night, and the tap-tap-tap of the
tomtom accompanying it added to
the effect. About an hour before
daylight they would take the body
off to bury it, and one heard this
wailing with the regular tap-tap-
tap of the tomtom gradually dying
sway in the distance.
‘Tn their huts they preserved the
skulla of their relatives. Dr. Wol
laston and I went down another
river and visited a very large vil
lage where we desired to collect
aome skulls. It wns always rather
difficult to establish trade at first,
but after tho first shyness had worn
off we found tha natives only too
ready to sell the skulls they had.
One woman brought out the skull
of a child which she snid was her
own child and wished to sell it to
us. Presently the whole village
street looked like a Golgotha, all
the people having put the skulls
they owned outside their huts,
They did not ask us to buy them,
but they evidently hoped we would
do so, Every house had three or
four skulls eet out in front of it
Another time a man brought the
skull of his young wife to sell. It
struck mo aa being a particularly
grewBOmo sight, becauso ho stood
chere for a long time with the skull
under his arm.
“The natives seem to attach no
importanco to the lives of the wo
men. We once saw ■ man drowning
a woman and rescued her. We got
her on to tho bank, where she lay
for aomo time before aho was suffi
ciently recovered to get up ahd
crawl away to the village. I could
cite other examples to show that
this is not an isolated instance of
cruelty. Cannibalism is not prac
ticed by the Mimiks people as
general custom, but enemies killed
n warfaro are eaten.” — Chicago

Returning th« Compliment.
A pompous laird advertised for
a man tn do odd jobs, and an old
fashioned Scottish worthy applied.
The laird interviewed him person

“And whnt is your name, my
man ?” he asked.
“My nnmo is Tammas Jocms Pit-
tendrigh, sir.”
“Oh, but that’s too long a name!
I’ll just cull you old Tom.”
“Well. well, sir." said Tammaa,
"but fat due they ca' yereel’, noo?"

A massive rook formation re
markable for jts resemblance to a
dismantled battleship is all that
now remains of an ancient mesa
which, with the exception of one
thin wall, has been washed away by
the storms of centuries. It is a
well known landmark of tho north
Arizona desert. The place has long
been locally known as “Steamboat
Rock.”—Wide World Magazine.

“Ah, Mr. Blink8,” said the fair
one lightly, “1 sec yon wear your
heart upon your sleeve.”
Mr. Blinks looked bewildered and
hastily pulled down his cuffs.
“I guess maybe it waa my red
flannel underwear you notice,” he
lamely remarked.
200 CASES IN SEVEN WEEKS
Solicitor M. D. Dickerson, One of
Busiest Attorneys of Georgia
Probably no new solicitor general
in Georgia baa had aa busy a period
the flrBt week of olfice as has
M. D, Dickerson, of Douglas, solici
tor general of tbe VVaycross circuit.
Nine murder cases have been
tried by blm, seven resulting in con
victions, two acquittals. One of the
two men that came clear was In
Ware superior , court. Tho others
cases handled by tbe solicitor have
been more or less Important, the
total number going slightly over
the two hundred mark.
In Ware County tlie grand Jury
working with the solicitor returned
ninety-nine true bills. Tbe work of
tho court has been complimented on
for the rapidity with which dockets
were cleared. In no caso where ft
It was possible to bring cases to
trial was a postponement allowed.
By getting tho heavier cages tried,
tho lesser ones handled by the su
perior court or transferred to the
city courts for trial, thus getting
the court In better shape than for
years.
In his seven weeks Mr. Dickerson
has covered the whole of the Way-
cross district.

There will be a meeting of the
