What's that? There's nothing the
matter with my shoulders" And it re-
quired considerable argument and
measuring demonstration to convince
him that his right shoulder was very
considerable higher than the left, the
explanation being found in the fact
that in shooting his right shoulder is
lifted much higher than its fellow.

deity, and the king shared his own
palm hut with him. The natives on
that island believe in feeding their god,
so Mr.. Roberts lived on the fat Of the
island. The daintiest fish, the rarest
game, and the earliest and sweetest
fruits were laid as offerings at his door.
Five dusky girls waited on him, served
him with food, and wove garlands of
flowers with which they crowned him.
Whenever he went to the seashore he
was followed by an admiring horde Of
natives He was the first man on the
island, the divinity of the natives, the
king of their king. Mr.. Roberts used
to say that he liked the alteration of
the South Sea islanders, but as the
months passed he grew homesick and
longed for the sight of white faces.
Civilization seemed very desirable
thing, but he accepted the situation.
At the end of eight months stay on
the island. upon awakening one morn
ing, he saw ship lying at anchor in
the bay. Pretending to the natives
that he wished to board the vessel to
trade with the sailors, they took him
out to her in canoe, and he climbed
up the side of an American ship. The
captain and crew were more than as
tonished to see a white man, and Rob
erts begged to be accepted as sailor,
a passenger, or anything, so he could
once more reach civilization. On this
ship he entered the United States for
the first time, for the sailing vessel
was bound for San Francisco. When
the natives learned that their white
god was going to leave them they put
out to sea in all their boats, following
the sailing vessel for miles, screaming,
crying, and beseeching him to jump
overheard and return to them.-San
Francisco Examiner.

The Luck of White Man Who Was Left
on an Island of the South Seas.
By the death of Joseph Roberts,
Californian pioneer, Santa Cruz lost
genuine Robinson Crusoe, for Mr.. Rob
erts had passed through in early man
hood all the thrilling adventures and
exciting life which endear Defoe's hero
to the reading boy and girl. Sixty
seven years ago, on st. Valentines
day, Joseph Roberts was born in
FalIirk. His family for years had
been seafaring people, so that as he
grew up he took TO the sea naturally,
and while only fourteen years of age,
while his playmates were still cabin
boys, he was made second mate Of a
sailing vessel. Before he was fifteen
he made his first long voyage from
home, and followed the sea until he
reached manhood. He visited many
foreign countries and the islands which
dot the ocean, but never landed in the
United States until he sailed through
the Golden Gate in 1851.
There was one of the many stories
of adventure which Mr.. Roberts told
which never grew stale to young or
old 1t was the story of the months he
spent on a cannibal island in the Pa.
cifc. Mr.. Roberts was on a cruise
among the South Sea islands on an
English merchantmen, and when the
land was sighted he went ashore
knowing that although the island was
inhabited by cannibals, they were
peaceable. But in his absence the cap
tain ordered the anchor up and al
sails set, and for eight months he was
left alone among lot of South Sc;
