of a family. His private secretary, the
clerks, doorkeepers, messengers and
steward, and three other servants,
cost us $50, S65 year. Then there is a
contingent fund of $4,000 a year which
the president may use according to
his discretion. In furniture and repairs
to the white house the sum of $4,000
more, to be used by the direction of
the president, is provided by the ma
ton and is always expended. For fuel
alone $4,000 is allowed, and for neces-
sary repairs to the greenhouse there
is $4,000. Altogether the presidential

snug sum of $6i,S65, nearly $4,000 a
year more than his salary. The two

But the worse offender is the serious

Kipling'S verse and tries to treat it in
similar language, but from an oppo-

does not approve of white supremacy
over semi-savage peoples, and he seeks
to refute Kipling with butchered YER

The excitement was maintained to
the end, for not until the final hurdle
had been passed could any one tell
who would be the winner. One canoe
might be well in advance when its oc-
cupant would upset it by bad jump
and be passed by those in the rear.
Then the difficulty for the swimmer
began. The canoe had to be righted
and baled out. The next trouble was
to get aboard without upsetting it
again. In some cases the canoe shot

strokes Of long bladed paddles they
shot through the water with such We
locity that the eye seemed following
a quickly speeding projectile. But the
swimming and preliminary canoe races
were of minor importance; it was not
for these, but for the great event of
the day, the race over distractions for
a long distance, that the eagerly
expectant spectators had reserved their
enthusiasm.
Stakes were driven in the mud, and
a third securely dashed between these
two uprights at height of two feet
above the water, while others were
placed higher so as to allow a space
of three or four feet. These fences
were so arranged that thirty of forty
feet of clear water interviewed between
distractions. In the case of those of
lower elevation it was necessary that
the contestants should leap them, ca
noe and all; in the higher ones the
paddler was obliged to shoot his canoe
beneath the bar, while he vaulted over
the hurdle and landed in his canoe
without upsetting it. The mode of
jumping the canoe was this: On ap-
preaching the bar the paddler knelt
raise the bow well out of the water,
and at full speed rush toward the
hurdle so as to send the canoe part
the way over. TheN, before it could
slide back he would leap into the bow,
and the weight of his body would
carry it over the obstacle.
AS the bottoms of the canoes are
rounded, nine times out of ten they
heeled over and precipitated the oc-
cupants into the water, who then were
obliged to return and repeat the at
tempt until the obstacle had been
passed.
The passing of the higher hurdles
was a more difficult operation, and
proved sufficient to retire all but few
OF the more skillful from the race.
The spectators on shore meanwhile
maintained a terrible din, shouting out

creatures retired to spots where rocks
overhung a stretch of smooth sand to
doZe.
The native at the stern of the canoe
in which 1 was padding espying one
of these sleeping monsters, climbed
over the edge of the canoe and let
himself quietly into the sea. With the
moose of rope in his hand he dived
to the bottom, slipped the moose over
the tail of the fish and returned to the
surface. When he climbed into the
canoe we all three seized the rope, and,
despite the struggles Of the shark,
pulled him out, hauling his tail clear
of the water and rendering him help
