witnessed strange duel on one Of
President Crespo's big cattle ranches
in the interior of Venezuela. Two
vanqueros, or cowboys, were enamored
of the same dark-eyed little Indian
girl of the great Orinoco plains and
they decided to settle by a duel with
the lasso which of them should take
her to wife. A dozen fellow vanqueros
assembled to witness the fray.
The lovers, says the Florida Times
Union, soon appeared mounted on
mettlesome mustangs, each with a
long, powerful lariat of tough cow
hide. They were both experts with
the lasso, and their craftsmanship was
a marvel. They approached to within
forty and fifty yards of each other,
then began to maneuver for deciding
cast. After several feints the lariat of
the younger of the rivals, handsome,
sun-bronzed fellow from Carabobo,
went whizzing through the air SO
swiftly that the eye could scarcely fol-
low it. The other sank his spurs deep
into his mustang. The animal sprang
forward just in time to save his master
from the moose, and as he did SO the
second lasso rose in the air and settled
around the shoulders of the man who
missed. pinning his arms to his sides as
in wise. He was jerked. headlong out
| of his saddle.
His successful rival drew him along
hand over hand, half lifting him from
the ground by the tenacious thong,
and put bullet square between his
eyes. He then turned and rode direct
ly to the camp where lived the cause

vIue VI the curious practice of the hill
women of putting their babies heads
under a spout of wa ter to send them to
sleep and keep them quiet. When the
new cartroad was first made, there
was village at halting-place where
rows of such children might be seen in
a grove close to the road.
The water of a hill spring was so ad-
justed as to furnish series of little
spouts, each about the thickness of
ones little finger Opposite each
spout was kind of earth pillow, and
little trough to carry away the water.
Each child was so laid that one of the
water-spouts played on the top of it's
head, and the water then ran off into
the trough.
I can testify that the process was
most successful. There never were
such quiet and untroublesome babies
as those under the spouts. The people
were unanimous in asserting that the
water did the children no harm, but
on the contrary, benefited and invig-
GRATED them. In fact, they seemed to
think that a child not subjected to
this process must grow up soft-brained
and good-for-nothing
Certainly their appearance showed
no signs that this singular method of
bracing the intellectual part of their
bodies had done them any harm.

bounty and. Hawaii becomes part Of the
limited States the sprcckels family will
cot several millions every year on that
account. 1t Is, therefore, as clear as any
thing can be that the so-called revolution

object, and that is the putting money into
the pockets OF the rich planters and their
satellites. TO oblIge them this country Is
to be burdened with a most undesirable

more than our own worlsingmen probably
oven suspect now.
But we must keep the islands out Of the
hands Of an European power, and partic'
ularly out Of the hands Of Great Britain
This much the American people will un'
doubtedly concede. 1t is very evident
however, that before they conclude ON the
necessity OF deciding In favor of annexa'
tion they will do some very serious think

The request of the Hawaiian revolu-
tIonary government for the annexation OF
the island to the United States Is most
embarrassing, to say the least II pre-
sentg problems of most far reaching
character, which can not be solved on
hand.
Were the islands inhabited by homo
genous population of race akin to our
own It would be difficult matter enough
to decide what to do. but when the pure
natives themselves number only about
one-third Of the total and the Chinese
and Japanese form another third, 1t Is
extremely perplexlng to even those who
believe that commercial and national In
terests require us to exercise control over
the islands.
The total population. according TO the
census taken In 1890, is only $4,000 OF
whom 5000, are males and only $1,000 f.
males This disparity between the sexes
--ia--a,lA- 10 the. large number OF Chinese and
under contract. or the 1850 Chinese only
TO were females. and Of the 1900 Japan
ese all but 1000 were men.
The importation OF these laborers from
Asia has been going on steadily since,
and II is estimated that the 1900 Of the
census of 1890 has grown to over 10000 by
this time. so that the Chinese and Jap
anese males outnumber both the pure alld
mixed native Hawaiians OF both sexes,
two to one, and actually form nearly ons-
half of the entire population.
There are about 5000 natives Of Ha-
wall born OF foreign parents. and these,
with the 1000 Americans, $500 British and
1000 Germans. scandinavians and French
form what is practically the ruling class,
There are besides. some 5000 or 5000
Portuguese. who may be counted on to
acquiesce in what tho native whites anal
the Americans and other Europ- |
cans may do. SO that there are some
thing like 10000 whites to control the
forty odd thousand pure and mixed Sand
wich Islanders. and nearly the same
number OF Chinese and Japanese coolies.
To talk about admitting this heterogen-
GUS population into the Union as a state
is absurd, and to take them in and fur
nish them with o territorial government
win be no easy task Our laws forbid the
importation OF contract laborers and a
special exception would have to be made
to enable the planters to keep those they
have now.
Those who overthrew the native queen'sl
rule did SO for financial reasons pure and
simple, and this is another complication.
