Dnrinp the nine years of our life in Samoa neither my mother nor myself ever had the slightest fear of the Sam oons, though we lived through more than one war and a very exciting panic. During the troublesome times of 1893-94 there were constant rumors of an attack upon Apia by the rebels of Atna. Our house, Yailima, lay on the 8 20 road three miles behind the town, on 2 10 I Branch doling. 1 ovot«, 1 00 Ri.S.

Thougli we were well known to be Mataafa sup porters, the Tauma-saga men would greet us cordially and willingly accept a breakfast of tea and ship's biscuits. Then the family would assemble on the veranda to hear the news, and there would be much joking antl a lively cx chauge o'f badinage, for the Samoan is a cheerful p.erson aud easily moved to laughter. Though not afraid of the men, I must' confess to looking with considerable alarm upon their weapons, rusty old guns and rifles loaded to- the muzzle and pointing in every direction, as they sat cruss-legged on. the mats hospitably spread for them and drank their tea.. When they finally departed, with a friendly "Alofa," the feu de joie they fired off in honor of the family was truly terrifying, as the bullets flew in all. directions. During that time I often went alone or: with a party of native girls into the forest to get a certain plant. We would cut. off the leaves, and sitting by a pool of water, strip the stalks into long white ribbons that we afterward wove into fans and baskets. During these excursions we often encountered bands of warriors, hunting or traveling par ties of. Samoan men. Instead of being afraid, we made them useful, begging them to carry our bundles of stalks or borrowing their terrible head-knives to- cut more. Late one afternoon I was riding up fro-m town alone and met a war party coming down the forest road. They were in fighting trim instead of the graceful lava-lava that reaches to the knee they wore little more than- a breech- clout- covered by a girdle of leaves on their broad brown shoulders were garlands of. green, which they also, twisted about, their ankles tall, sinewy men they were, polished with freshly scented oocoanut oil-until.their bodies shone like bronze. On' their heads they wore scarlet turbans of the Malietoas, and they were armed'with rifles and "dead tooth'.' knives. I drew my horse to one side in the shadow of the trees to let them pass, saying: "Alofa, Ali!" (Greeting, O chiefs), to»which they all replied with the single* word. "Sula," that the dic tionary defines as-, a term of admira tion for wealth or beauty, and smil ingly and^courteously passed on.. Twice I liave visited Mataafa's camp im wartime,- and' it is not surprising that we should be well received there, as it was known far and wide that our sympathies were on that side, and Mr. Stevenson and the grand old chief were friends of long standing. But to reach the camp we had to ride through Malietoa. villages crowded with armed men, who knew our errand. On one of our-excursions, as Mr. Stevenson, my mother and I reached the last town on. the outskirts of the Taumasaga, we. whipped up our horses and passed'at a good pace. On reaching the turn'of the road I heard an exclamation from Mr. Stevenson, and looking back we saw my mother far behind us in the center of the village, surounded by a crowd of armed men. With some alarm we turned and galloped back to find that her saddle had turned, and that these gentlemen had come to her as sistance. Another time,, during a brisk skirmish between the two forces, I wanted to make some sketches, and mj" mother and I walked over alone to the camp of the Malietoa men. We wan dered about without the least fear. The native houses are like huge bowl shaped roofs set on short stilts, and are open on all sides to the gaze of the pub lic. We could see the soldiers looking out at us, occasionally greeting us with friendly "Alofas" and invitations to enter. We accepted the hand of a handsome brown girl, who ran out and led us, like little children, into her house, and ofTered us freshly gathered cocoanuts to drink. A young man, I remember, was sitting on the floor fill ing cartridges, and he looked at us somewhat resentfully, but no remark was made except the ironical one of a passing~soldier, who-asked as we were leaving if we found the Malietoa men so much handsomer than the Mataafaus that we'came here "shadow-catching," as they call drawing and photography.- It is not. that the Samoarts particu larly respect, white ladies they are kind and considerate to their own worn enkind. They have many words in language of compliment tb the fair sex. Aolele, the native name that my mother is known by, is a term of ad miration meaning "beautiful, as a fly ing cloud." There are Suta and Agale lei, and many others also, they have words of respect for the aged, which are carefully taught to well-bred chil dren. The dictionary defines one as "a deprecating address, jn asking a favor of an old person," and "an affec tionate address to the aged," and many more of respectful esteem.—Providence Journal.
