he was thrown up on shore in safety
1t was night when he landed on the
beach and realized that he was safe.
Then he swooned away. The next thing
he knew he was on a comfortable cot
in n natives cabin, and around him
were a number of dusky barbarians
who, unaccustomed to seeing man
having n white skin, had taken him for
a god and were entertaining him as
best they could. In few days he began
to recover sufficiently to appreciate the
situation, and 1t is needless to say that
he enjoyed 1t. Favors Of every descrip-
ton were bestowed upon him. BY the
decree of the King palace was ap-
pointed for his habtation, and here he
continued to receive the attention of
the great chiefs Of the islands. In @
short time he learned the native Ian
guage and invented many contrivances
to gain and retain the homage of the
people. He soon became Il favorite on
the islands and in time became strong
ly attached to n young sister of the
King. Then followed the marriage of
the god and the princess. The union
was happy one, and in the course of
time daughter was born and she was
named Margaret. She was a beautiful
child, and naturally was the idol of her
father. He taught her to read and write
English, and when she had attained
years Of understanding he sent her to
convent school at Samoa.
Margaret pursued her studies in the
convent about four years, and during
that time she fell in love with hand
some young Samoan, who, at the COM
pietion Of her course, begged for an i'm
mediate marriage. The young lady
was agreeable to the marriage, but
asked the privilege Of returning to her
father at her old home before the cere-
mony should take place. The next trad
ing vessel that sailed from Samoa car
ried her to her old home.
She had only been there few weeks
when the King was taken suddenly Ill
and shortly afterwards died When
the grief of the nation had subsidized
the wise men and councillors began to
look around for a successor. There
were several sons and daughters of the
deceased monarch living but according
to a peculiar custom of the people the
eldest nephew or niece OF the late ruler
succeeded to the throne. Margaret was
the regular and legitimate successor &C
cording to this rule. She was we'll
aware of this, and at the first report of
the Kings illness had made an effort
to get away from the islands, but there
was no vessel by which she could es-
cape. She had promised her young Sa-
moan chief that in six months she
would return and become his wife
Now her prospects were blighted. She
was a prisoner although an heir to
crown. Although queen, she knew
her life would be living death. The
constitution of the islands consisted In
a code of unwritten laws, one of the
most stringent of which was that the
Queen could never marry or even look
upon the face of man. The palace was
SO constructed that one could not see
beyond its walls from within, and the
royal attendants were all maidens
Every day the wise men and council
lors sought the advice of their sover-

QUEEN AGAINST HER WILL.
A Tragic Romance of the South Sea
Islands.

The schooner Ocean Spray, Capt.
Luttrell commanding, recently arrived
at San Francisco from an extended
trading cruise in the Southern Pacific.
The Captain bore the news Of the death
of the Queen of the Muna Islands. A
stranger story never was told
According to special dispatch from
San Francisco to the New York Herald,
many years ago William Young, an
English sailor on little trading
schooner that had sailed from an Aus
tralian port, was shipwrecked and cast
ashore on one Of the Muna Islands.
Long struggling had swept away near
ly all his clothing, but he managed to

The heir to the throne of Belgium,

The heir to the throne Of Belgium,
recently travelling through our West
ern States in private car, said to his
host: Last year l was the guest Of
the Gear. When l took my walk 1t
was between two lines Of soldiers. who,
j feared, might shoot me by mistake.
1t was not so pleasant as this, and the
eating was not so good" Having thus

1t cannot be long before there will
be established In the United States
schools for such specialized studies as
will fit young men for commercial en-
ployment in foreign countries. The ex-
panding field Of American foreign trade
will create a steadily increasing de-
mand for trained men to represent our
manufacturers abroad and will offer
splendid opportunities for this class of
men. Germany has found the plan of
specialized commercial education of
great value. 1t has played very Inn
portant part in the extension of her
trade. PROFESSIONALLY the United
States would find 1t equally valuable.

Never Get Thirsty.

There are certain lucky creatures
which never feel the pangs of thirst,
for they are so constituted that drink
is unnecessary to them and they never
swallow drop of water in their lives.
Among these animals are certain ga
zelles of the far east and the lamas of
Patagonia.
Some naturalists believe that hares
never drink. but get enough liquid for
their needs in the dew on the grass they
eat, and it is certain that in the London
geological gardens n paroquet lived
over half a century without once drink
ing.
A considerable number Of reptiles
serpents, lizards and some batrachians
thrive in places in which there is alb
solutely no water. In France in the
neighborhod of the Losere there are
herds OF goats and cattle which hardly
ever drink and which, nevertheless,
produce the milk of which the cele-
brated Roquefort cheese Is made.

One Of the arts in conducting polit-
ical campaign Is for the candidate to
say all the good things he modestly
can about himself and his side of the
case without unduly criticising his OPP
ponent. In recent years there has been
distinct gain In American politics in
decency, though there is still room for
Improvement. A candidate who can
present the facts from his standpoint In
u clear, forcible manner, who knows
his case is not so desperate rs to call
for the aid of Singing, IS far more
apt to command the attention of the
public than the loudmouthed bawler,
who makes use of epithets that would
be out Of place in the family circle. The
gentleman in politics on the stump Is
not an ideal man. He is in many
places a reality, and the methods he
pursues are becoming more common.
1t Is fair and just to discuss all polit-
ical issues, which are those in which all
the people are concerned, fearlessly
and truthfully. If men are found to be
corrupt, it is proper to expose their
practices to the people, but the speaker
can do this without sinking to the level
of those who arc worse than he is. An
honorable candidate would not proper
ly represent the people whose suffrages
he is asking for If he did not expose the
enemies Of the people. The American
people like to see a clean, square, fear
less, standup fight in politics. The
man who loses such a fight cannot suf-
fer by defeat; the candidate who wins
by dishonorable methods Is robbed, in
the estimate the best people make of
him, of all the real fruits Of victory.
