a Style All His Own.
NEVER STARTLES HIS HOST.
He It Too Politely Deliberate For That
and the Compliment Is Faithfully
Returned —Ceremonies In the Houee
Have a Rather Abrupt Ending.
For a barbarian the Tarabumare te
a very jolite personage. In Ills language
he even has a word "reke." which
is the equivalent of the English
••please" and which lie uses constant
ly. When speaking to a stranger or
leaving a person, lie draws attention
to his action by saving. "I am going."
As he grows civilized, however, he
loses his good manners.
In spite* of tills lie is not hospitable;
the guest gets food, but there is no
room for him in the house of a Tura
il tun are. A visitor never thinks of en
tering a house without first giving the
family ample time to get ready to re
ceive him. When he approaches a
friend's home good manners require
him to stop sometimes as far as twen
ty nr thirty yards off If he is on
more intimate terms with the family,
he may come nearer, and make tils
presence known by coughing: then tie
sits down, selecting some little knoll
from which lie can be readily seen.
In order not to embarrass his friends
lie does not even look at the house,
but remains sitting there gazing into
vacancy, his hack or side turned
toward the homestead. Should the
host be absent the visitor may thus
sit for a couple of hours; then he will
rise and go slowly away again. Rut
under no circumstances will he enter
the home, unless formally Invited, “be
cause," he says, "only the dogs enter
houses uninvited "
Never will the woman of the house
commit such a gross breach of eti
quette as to go out and Inform him of
her husband’s absence, to save the
caller the trouble of waiting, nor will
she. if alone at home, make any state
ments ns to his whereabouts.
The Tarahumare never does any
thing without due deliberation: there
fore he may for a quarter of an hour
discuss with his wife the possible pur
port of the visit before he goes out to
see the man. They peep through the
cracks in the wall at him. and If they
happen to be eating or doing anything
they may keep the visitor waiting for
half an hour.
Finally the host shakes out the blan
ket on which he has been sitting,
throws It around himself, and. casting
a rapid glance to the right and left as
he goes through the door, goes to take
a seat a few yards distant from the
caller. After some meditation on
either side the conversation, as In more
civilized society, opens with remarks
about the weather and the prospects
for rain.
When this subject is exhausted and
the host's curiosity as to where the
man came from, what he is doing and
where he is going is satisfied, the for
mer may go hack to the house and
fetch some meat and pinole for the
traveler The object of the visit not
infrequently is an invitation to take
part in some game or foot race, and as
the men are sure to remain undis
turbed they generally reach some un
derstanding.
A friend of the family is. of course,
finally invited to enter the house, and
the customary salutation is "Assagai"
("Sit down.”i In this connection it may
lie noted that the Tarahumares in con
versation look sidewise, or even turn
their backs toward the person they
speak to.
After having eaten, the guest will
carefully return every vessel in which
the food was given to him. and when he
rises he hands back the skin on which
he was seated Should occasion re
quire the host will say: “it is getting
late and you cannot return to your
home tonight Where are you going to
sleep? There is a good cave over yon
der”
With this ho may indicate where the
visitor may remain overnight. He will
also tell him where he may find wood
for the fire, and he will brtng him food,
but not unless the weather Is very
tempestuous will he Invito an outsider
to sleep in the house.—From Carl Lum
holtz's “Unkuown Mexico."
New Dishes.
What new dishes have you had since
you have had your new French cook?"
asked Mrs Squire of a friend whom
she met one morning.
"Oh. u whole new dinner set," replied
the other, "and several pieces of cut
glass, and she's only been with us
about a week.”—Harper’s Magazine.
Not Impressed.
“I know no north, no south, no east
no west” declared the impassioned
orator
"You are also just ns badly mixed in
several other* respects,” commented an
old farmer in the audience.—Pitts

of murder. He imd a talk Wltb The
otfirial interpreter. "ho lu turn had
talked with the man in full, and that
earnest person assured the lawyer that
the prisoner was innocent: that at the j
time of the crime he had beeu miles
a way in a railroad camp. Later they
went to the Jail to have a talk with
the prisoner.
The official interpreter held a long
conversation, the lawyer giving
the questions. It seemed a1 i straight
and regular. The interpreter insisted
that the prisoner had a perfect alibi.
It was some weeks before tlit* case
was called, and shortly before that
time the lawyer wanted another talk
with the accused man. The official in
terpreter had disappeared. and so he
secured for his interpreter this time a
Chinaman who had been his cook and
who talked fairly pood Kuplish. They
went to the jail.
••Tell him." he instructed the inter
preter. "that 1 want him to relate to
me apnin the exact circumstances, ail
he knows about this, the whole truth
and particularly where he was that
nipht.”
The two Chinese jabbered topether
for fifteen minutes. Then the inter
preter turned and said. "He say after
he shoot the man he Inn down Mollison
'stleet an' thlow pistol in McGuire's
fish yard."
"Hold on!" yelled the lawyer. “That
can’t be true. Ask him apnin. Ac
cordinp to the other story be was miles
away and didn't shoot the man at all.”
There was another lonp conversation
between the interpreter and the prison
er. Then the interpreter said: “Oh.'
les; he shoot the man. fie say he shoot
him an' lun down Mollison stleet an'
thlow pistol Into McGuire’s fish yard."
“But.” insisted the lawyer. “I was
told he was not in the city at all that
nipht. but miles away in a railroad
camp."
The interpreter smiled blandly. “Ob.
les." he assented cheerfully, "he have
plenty witnesses to plove that."—Satur

WIT OF A MORO UMPIRE.
He Had Learned Our Language Fast
and Knew How to Use !t.„
Captain John E. Morris of the Sixth
infantry was at one time, some years
ago. stationed with his company in
some inaccessible Moro town. Morris
thought that if the Moros of his dis
trict could become interested in some
sporting stunt outside of head bunting*,
the United States insurance companies’
mortality tables could readily be read
justed so far as soldiers were concern
ed, so he encouraged his men to teach
the Moros baseball. When a man i'w
playing baseball he is not chopping ofy
heads, and Captain Morris appreciated
this fact.
Two baseball teams were organized,
a Moro team and a team from Morris’
company, and one day the first game of
the series was to be pulled off. The
question of the umpire was the gre.at
one of the moment, and after much
discussion a native Moro was selected
to pass upon the fine points of the
game.
In Filipino “umpire" Is properly ex
pressed as "mnkifula." and when Cap- <
tain Morris arrived on the scene of the
proposed hall game the Moro who was
to he umpire approached him.
"Mnkifula. me.” remarked the Moro.
Captain Morris looked at the native
umpire without in the slightest under
standing what he was driving at. "I'm
glad you are a ’makifula.' " he remark
ed. "but please inform me what the
word means.”
"Means makifula of Americans." re
plied the Moro. "Me learn American
language fast.”—San Francisco Chron
icle.
Counting a Herring Catch.
The fact that the record catch of
herrings was 320 era ns. is proof posi
tive that they were captured, on the
east coast of Scotland. On the west of
Scotland herrings are counted, not
measured. A "maze" of herrings is
five long hundreds, and a long hun
dred Is 123. At Yarmouth and Grims
by they are counted by the "warp,”
which is four, and thirty-three of these
make a long hundred. Ten hundreds
make a "thousand" and ten “thou
sand" a “last” Therefore, when is a
hundred not a hundred?—Loudon
Standard.
Pleas For Patriotism.
"You should be patriotic and contrib
ute your valuable services to your
country without thought of pecuniary
reward."
“I will," replied the official, "justYidj
soon as a whole lot of people get
triotic enough to quit sending theilfj
bills to me."—Washington Star.
Mutual Concessions.
"Bliggins and his wife seem to be on
the t>est of terms.”
"Yes. They make mutual conces
sions. He stands on the corner and
shouts ‘Votes for women.’ while she
cheers every time the home team
scores a run.”—Washington Star.
