read the note in an undertone.
"I am coming borne, EveVyn. After

strategic points In the- South seas.
Dating back to the early part of the
year 1899, the two rival factions of
Samoa, the "Tunuia," or pftrty led by
Chief Mataafa, ami the Matua, or party
led by" Chief Malietoa, held a I
"fono" or mass meeting at Apia, on j

ject of this meeting was to settle ti.o 1
dispute and place the rightful king on f
tho throne, writes Eugene D. Park, 1
Jr., yeoman, U. S. N., in Los Angeles '
Times. The decision, when rendered,
leclared Maliotoa to .he the reigning 11
dng of Samoa, and this decision was
ipheld by the United States, Ger- u

Mataafa now became hostile, and K<

ngagements between tlie United

'ROPER FEEDING OF PIGEONS

Feeding pigeons twice a day Is suflllent
at all times of the year. \V'o

lornlng feeding, but this is purely a
otlon; eight o'clock Is a good tlmo
or tho breakfast hour.
The proper method of feeding is to
ave a board about 21 inches long and
Ight Inches wide, with strips nailed
round the four sides one inch high,
n which is placed grit, covering tho
ottoin about half an Inch deep, with
ood, nharp mixture. At the present

And They Wondered!
Judge Nicholas Long worth, who used
to sit on Ohio's supreme bench, looked
unnaturally grave, and a neighbor, in
recognition of Ills facial depression,
named a pet owl "Judge Longworth."
It was the very next day that an excited
maid broke up his wife's garden
party. "Oh, madam," said she. "Madam!
Judge Longworth has laid an
egg." ^

Another Tradition Exploded.
Two Englishmen were resting nt the
"Rod Horse Inn" at Stratford on-Avon.
One of them discovered a print picturing
a low tumbling building underneath
which was printed: "The House
In Which Shakespeare Was Born."
Turning to his friend in mild surprise
ho pointed to the print. His friend exhibited
equal surprise, and called a
waiter, who assured them of the accuracy
of the inscription.

Englishman, shaking his head dubiously,

A Bernhardt Trick.
Mmo. Sarah Bernhardt, who Is supposed
to bo something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon la Mie of her marvelous creations
to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust In view of
tho audlenco. This fairly electrified
uio critics, but when going Into rhapsodies
over tho technical skill la handling
tho clay which Mine, nernhardt
exhibited they showed that they knew
llttlo of llio artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, alio
docs nothing of tho kind. The bust
is modeled and baked, and over It la
placed damp clay of tho samo color.
This the talented actress merely pulls

head underneath.
