SupertiuouS domestic animals-to be
killed and eaten, or carried off in bag

curiosity to learn the method of
getting rid of excess babies, and

what-do-you-want nod of greeting she
gave us. -,
"Come ill.," he sreplied eagerly, and
led the way into the room at the end of

Two or three voices spoke out of

Samoa. l have protested against this
martial law business, and think it

that in the whole jurisprudence OF my
country there was no such punishment.
THEY HAD A PROCLAMATION PRINTED

the effect of stopping this. This proc
