hybrid people in their wake in whose veins the su-
perior blood is deterorated by its association The
Anglo-Saxon mongrel has even physical strength
and IS short-lived, that our race has not even
physical survival in hybrid form
The pure Spanish, French and Italian blood in the
tropics is not transmitted, with unimpaired quality,
from generation to generation. Statistics OF Euro
pean marriages in French Guiana show survival OF
children OF 8I6 married Europeans, and every one
OF them dwarfed wrinked and with physical and men
tai infrnities This is everywhere in the tropics
where altitude does not nulify latitude. The same
rule covers the domestic animals OF the temperate
zone, which degenerate in the tropics.
1t is wise to tempt Americans from Maine or
Florida to go home seeking under vertical sun.
William Paterson tempted the lowland Scotch in his
Darien scheme and lured them to death When the
Acadans banished after the OF 1862 thirteen
thousand OF them perished by the climate in French
Guiana, whittier they had gone to seek homes.
The Chronicle has now discovered that the Ha
waiian Islands natures chosen refuge for white
labor though situated in the tropics But few years
ago that paper thought otherwise When the Scandi-
navians induced go there as aborers
the sugar plantations, the Chronicle said: The
same inducements everywhere held out the emf
grant, easy labor in sunny island where the wind
never blows rudely, where the sea breaks muscaly
paln-shaded Shores where every prospect pleases
and only is vile" The result told by the
Chronicle, taking typical case OF strong young
man of twenty-five: When he arrived he set at
work at Hilo region where the rain falls nearly
every day. In few months he was reduced from
strong youth Of twenty-five, weighing two hundred
pounds, to condition Of decrepude that brought his
weight down to one hundred pounds and his appear
ance to that Of huge mummy" As for the North
men, the Chronicle said: The hot climate enervates
the hardy Scandinavian, and adds his discomfort
and restlessness."
Yet that paper now speaks of Hawaii: with eli
mate to which the white readily adapts himself,
without inconvenience or menace to his health, these
beautiful islands Of kindly welcome and perpetual
spring present obstacles an easy and noiseless
adjustment to political system"
But il Hawaii were what the Chronicle said it was,
what is to be said OF the Philippines where the Amer
lean from Maine Florida would have to do his
blowing under two feet OF water with mud buffalo,
under a vertical sun that poisons every breath he
draws and every drop he drinks?

AMUSEMENT
THAT ENDED
IN DEATH.

though gauChe Iaundry girl KISS tne
wounded arm of her lover, Lafebvre, they
little thought that the wound her lips
saluted was real one; not one placed there
by paint brush and cosmetics, but one
imprinted by the stern touch of a rifle ball
as a fitting makeup for the drama Of war.
The incident in the life of Harrington
Reynolds, Frawleys leading man, which
gave him the wound that he now uses in
his impersonation of the character of La
febvre will bear telling,
Mr. Reynolds comf 5f family of Brit
ish soldiers. Two oihis uncles died in the
Crimea. His fathef was several times
wounded in the same campaign, his BROTH
er has just been invalided home with an
ankle and kneecap shattered as the result
of little excursion he took recently with
General Kitchener, and Mr.. Reynolds bears
the scars of no. less than three nasty
wounds to remind him of the days when
he was a captain in the Thirteenth Hus-
sars and went campaigning against the
savage Kaff1rs in South Africa
The incident of the wound in the arm
is connected with the first attempt of Mr..
Reynolds on the stage, and is as follows:
While in the African bush the officers were
wont TO divert themselves with private
theatricals when things grew dull. One
evening a play was to be presented called
THE Area Bells and Reynolds and an
other young officer, named WATT were cast
for the part of women because of their
youth. A stage had been rigged up In the
jungle and the costumes were provided by
the regimental tailor.
The entertainment was progressing sat
isfactoTily when it was interrupted by the
sound of heavy firing. The pickets came
hurrying in, firing as they retreated
Boots and saddles were sounded, and the
young ladies" of the piece had to mount
costumed as they were and go into a
charge wherein they lost eight officers
and ninety men out of total number of
about $50 engaged. Reynolds came out of
the fight with his sword arm shattered
and useless. The body of his companion.
Watt was found in the brush next dav.
1t was literally hacked to pieces The
character of a dashing soldier is not en-
tirely a new one to Mr.. Reynolds.

REMEMBER JOHNSON.
Continued from Third page.

Island county were aroused. The
night in particular was recalled
when Mr.. johnson walked the floor,
trying to discover some means
of still saving to the Woodmen
order and to the people here a
victory which he had fairly and
repeatedly, won, but which it seemed
was to be suatched from him by
methods wholly outside the control of
any lawyer. In the life of every pro-
fessional man there are milestones
that signalize certain stages of adj
vancement, there are monuments
marked victory" but in all of the
professional career of the honored
guest of the evening, Mr. Sturgeon
said he did not believe there had been
an experience, or would come again
an experience that would so challenge
his skill and ability as lawyer.
MIR. Sturgeon said that talk was
cheap, however, when it comes to
properly expressing ones apprecia-
ton of another. The friends and
neigh bors in Rock Island of Mr.. John
SON had felt that they desired to do
as well as to say, by way of remem-
brance.
The Presentation Made.
Mr.. Sturgeon then spoke of the
pleasantest part of the duty he was
commissioned to perform, and, step
ping to the side of the room, drew
forth from its place of concealment
behind a door, a table on which
was displayed beautiful tea
service of solid silver, enriched
with gold lining.
1t is an old saying, Mr.. Sturgeon
said, but a trite one, that there are
times when words are feeble factors
to express what we mean and feel,
but there are some words in the
English language that poets have
tried to wreath laurels about, and
rhetoricians have planted in figures
of rhetoric. but in all ages no one has
yet arisen who has been able to add
strength to the simple words-love,
friend, neighbor. home. Take this
gift said Mr.. Sturgeon, from the
hands of loving friends and neighbors;
take it to your home, sweet home,
and wherever your jOurneyings may
be hereafter, remem Der that you will
always find a hand extended to greet
you in Rock Island
