Dainty Dish of the samoans.

The Samoans have dish called "pa-
lolo," which rises from the bottom Of the
sea to the surface. 1t is composed Of
countless thousands of worms allied to
the Nereid family. They vary in length
from an inch to yard and exhibit every
conceivable color as they wriggle and
twist on the waves. Whole villages of
Samoans go out in boats to collect this
native dainty and the feast that follows is
one Of the great festivities. "Palolo" is
wrapped in breadfruit leaves and cooked
in ovens. 1t makes its appearance from
the sea so regularly that the Inhabitants
of the Fiji group call November and Octo-
Der little and great Palolo, it being first
seen during the first named month, but
reaches its plentitude in November

made the victims of practical )ke or
deluded by their imagination. 1t created
such excitement that crowd Of twenty
FIVE persons was made up that night to go
down and Investigate, and If any joke WAS
being perpetrated to expose 1t, as many
residents Of that neighborhood had
been greatly frightened By what they
believed to be q verito5le ghost. When
the party came to within 100 ysr6s OF the
spot halt was called and 1t WAS sgreed
that five or six should go forward and
see If the "thing" made its appearance.
They rode forward and seeing nothing,
called for the crowd to come up. There
stood the tree upon which Page had paid
the last great penalty, but no ghost or
goblin wsg to be seen. The crowd were
sitting on their horses discussing the
whole matter, when suddenly some one
happened to lock towards the tree. An
exclamation Of surprise and horror broke
from his lips, for there, not twen'y steps
distant, hung the ghostly obi sct. A feel

his sensations: "The blood ran chill and

Which Bed Page Was Hanged in Madison
County
dence OF thu Gazette.
Z HUNTSVILLE, TEX, Feb. 1S.-Since the
of Red Page, one Of the horse
thieves of Madison county, last month by
8 mob of enraged citizens, various rumors
have come to the town Of Jacksonville,
about twenty two miles from here, to the
effect that ghost could be seen suspend
ed from the identical tree upon which
Page had been hung. Several parties re-
ported that on riding along the road,
which runs within twenty PAGES Of the
tree on which the horsethief YVES hung,
.taey had seen hanging In midsir a ghost
like figure at least eight feet IN length,
sud which emitted pale, silvery light.
At first, 1t is stated, the whole tale was
laughed at and the idea hooted that any
thirg OF supernatural character had
been seen. Finally on last Monday
three citizsns Of that county came to
Madisonville and reported that In COM
panY with two others they had gone down
to zee for themselves, IS they had heard
of Il and, not believing such thing, they
wished to satisfy themselvesin regard to
It. Upon arriving opposite the spot they
saw the unearthly thing Of which they
had heard. Sure enough, there 1t WAS

County Immigration Meeting-HeaVy snow

Correspondence of the Gazette.
HASKELL, TEX, Feb. l7.-Our Haskell
county immigration committee has just
had en- interesting meeting and resolved
to leave no stone ubluIned In the way Of
advertising the resources and advantages
Ct cur county if the necessary funds to
deiray the expenses of same csn be
raised. Haskell is one Of the finest
counties in Northwest Texas, # not in
the state, and our main object is to get
this fact known abroad, and then she will
settle up. But to advertise 1t as 1t should
be will require some outlay in cash.
Our home citizens have contributed con
siderable money to this purpose and
about as much as they feel able to at this
time, and realizing the fact that almost
all the lands in the county belong to
non residents OF the county and Of the
state, and that they are the principal ones
to be benefte by the immigration move
Dent, and an irfUx Of immigration to
this county, our committee passed e
resolution requiring the secretary to
assess one-half cent per acre on all lands
in the county and to draw on the owners
Of the land for the amount through the
banks, the amounts to be expended as
above mentioned. It seems Just and
proper that all men owning lanos In this
county should bear their pro rata Of the
expenses in getting people TO come and
purchase their lands, and 1t is to be hoped
that each one VIII honor the drafts, in
part at least. By go doing we will be
enabled to respectfully and intelligently
show up this fine country to
the world and thereby attract emigrants
and settlers, and thereby develop the
wonderful resources and treasures now
hidden beneath NATURES sod.
