No Moro wild Men In Borneo.

Lammerts Van Beuren, manager OF
one of the great tobacco plantations i'll
British North Borneo, came over from
Japan on the Bel9ic and is on his way
to his native country, Holland. The
plantation of which he has charge Gov
ers about 10. 900 acres.
Mr.. Van Beuren states that, contrary
to the general impression abroad, Bor-
neo is u safe place for foreigners to dc
business in. The native race, though pi-
ratical in its dealings with Chinese, is,
or the whole, friendly to the whites.
The only industrial work the aborigines
do is to raft bamboo and rattan down
the rivers for the use Of the estates. The
most civilized class among them are the
Dyaks, who used to be head hunters, but
are now of some use to the British gov.
erLment in the local military service.
Work on the plantation is done by the
Chinese, Malays and Jayanese.
In the intervals of tobacco farming
Mr.. Van Beuren does a good deal Of
hunting, and his description of tie game
resources Of Borneo will be Of interest
20 sportsmen. There arc plenty of rhi-
noceri, Of which he has killed seven, and
of wild cattle, Of which he has shot oven
60. The ourang outang and & long nosed
monkey peculiar to Borneo abound.
There are also elephants in tie north
western part, but these are protected by
the game laws. San Francisco Chroni-

york-An Ancient Prophecy.

The suggestions that the city and state
Of New York shall drop the prefix
NEW" and be called simply York y
recalls an ancient saying which has long
been prevalent in the north Of England,
in Lincolnshire, if not in Yorkshire. II
runs thus:
Boston was, London is and York is
to be the greatest seaport of the three. -
The age of this prophecy is unknown,
but is undoubtedly dates back to time
when Boston i'll Lincolnshire had recent
~ been rival of London as q seaport.
In 1904 its shipping was next to that of
London, and nearly as great Perhaps
not very long before that time it had
exceeded the shipping of London.
But how tYcri was yet to be" the
greatest seaport was a difficult problem
until the settlement Of America and the
foundation of the New York in the new
world. The English York is an inland
city that has no facilities for commerce.
1t is nearly leo years ago when some
Lincolnshire people, recalling this an
Gent prophecy, decided that if York was
to be a greater seaport than London it
must be the American or New, York,
which commanded the most important
harbor on the entire Atlantic coast
Monroe i'll New York Sun.

hearted conservation to the work.
The great temperance problem first
appeared in 1903. Before this date
scarcely ripple had been seen or
heard. First, a petition was taken
before the legislature by an Indian
chieftain; he said the white mans fire
water was hurting his people,
In 1926 alcohol was RECOGNIZED as a
poison.
In 1888 was held the first national
temperance convention. Three years
later wine and cider were included in
the pledge. In 1856 the stand was
taken that liquor traffic was morally
wrong, and that the evil could not be
restricted as long as the sale was al
lowed.
A few years, and the voice of wom-
an was heard pleading for the over
throw of this great evil, pleading be-
cause of the love they felt for their
homes and their children. The women
have now come to the front, and have
come to stay until prohibition shall
carry sway.

is remarkable for the rapidity with which its

absolutely harmless, and the instantaneous
relief which it affords to the nervous and

Pauline Hail. the empress of song, is cee-

ton of her new operate comedy, "Dorcas,' -
achieved the sncc-Ss of her evenUful life. In
a conversation with representative of this

character in presentation is generally con
ceded to be a sufficient undertaking for any
one person, but in tDorcas' L assume three,
all different, and I might say dia critically
opposite to each other.
THE terrific strain naturally resulting
from such difficult work, which is a and
direct departure from anything [ have ever
presented to the public before, naturally had
a very distressing effect upon me, and I
