Complimentary to Miss Breneman.

The Southern Pines CORES
pondent of the Charlotte Oh
server, in speaking Of Miss
Breneman's evolutionary con
test given at Kings Daugh
ters hall last week, pays the
following tribute to Miss
Breneman as an instructor in
elocution:
Miss Breneman gave three
recitations, and pleased her
applausive audience in all.
Only one, however, was OF IN
terest to me. This was a Sc
lection FROM Eugene Fields
"Little Boy Blue" poems,
with musical accompaniment
by Miss Upper. The first
two pieces had shown me that
Miss Breneman has genuine
artistry. She is capable OF
approaching, better still, of
interpreting, the subtle moods
and meaning of a poem. And
her voice is a capable instru-
nent, answering adequately
the demands she puts upon
it. 1t is musical, flexible,
gracious; at times, hearing it,
you think of Viola. | should
like to hear that voice sound
the the colorful music Of
sYiRburne's verse, or chant
grim strophes of Rosette's
ly-beautiful poem, Sis
ter 7felen. ;"

RAT-KlLLlNG POPULAR.
The Inhabitants of the Pacific Islands
Make Sport of 1t.

In the old days, when unchecked, rats
literally overran most Of the islands of
the Pacific On moonlight nights hun
dreds have been often seen gathered to-
gether round the native quarters, feed
ing upon waste rice or bread thrown
out. A large bottle shaped hole was dug
in the earth in Mangala, and baited
with candle nuts, of which rats are eX-
cessvely fond, and when the hole was
pretty we'll filled with rats two men
would go down with knobbed sticks to
kill them. A hole which would contain
two men would ho,d goodly number of
rats Rat killing under these condi-
lions would seem anything but an en-
viable task. Keeping the rats within
bounds was a, matter of such import
ance with the inhabitants that in Fun
afuti, by law. each individual was at
times obliged to catch and destroy a
certain number for which purpose an
ingenious trap was employed.
The natives destroy the rats with an
other object, shooting them for sport.
Fanna gooma, or rat shooting, as prac-
ticed on Hoonga in the Tonga group,
apparently was an amusement reserved
for chiefs and was undertaken with
much ceremony. Attracted by bait pre-
viously distributed, the ras were shot
with formidable unfeathered arrows,
six feet long. The game was not an
individual but party affair, the side
first killing ten rate being accounted the
winners, and if the rats were plentiful,
three or four games were generally
played.-Ch2mbers' Journal.
