Malietoa offered the sovereignty to-
both England and the United States
in his efforts TO escape German aggres-
sion and injustice. The British gov
eminent at that tins supported Ger
man eneroachments, in accordance
with secret understanding, and the
entire municipal control of Apia passed
TO the latter's hands.
Bismarck determined in 1886 to Gre
ate state of affairs that would lead
to annexation by Germany, even
though the reichstag had refused to
advance money to the Hamburg Com
nercial and Plantation company, sue
eessor of the Godeffries, the company
being involved by reason of its heavy
expenses in surreptitiously arming the
natives and creating wars. Admiral
Knorr was sent to bring about the de-
sired result, but he was brought up
with a round turn by the American
consul, Greenebaum, who declared an
American protectorate, to which the
English consul gave his support, ara

out. Bismarck determined on high

ships under Huesner, who seized the
government, tried to capture Malietoa,
declared war against him and pro-
claimed king Germany's favorite rebel,
Tamasase. Malietoa was captured,
held in German islands and finally in
Hamburg, and fully so of his chiefs
were banished. BY personal cruelties,

NEW OCCUPATION FOR A DOG.
He Was Being Effectively Used In
the Singular Role of
Scarecrow.

Bicyclists riding in the country not
many miles from New York have re-
Gently been startled by hearing the
barking of dog in fields which they
we're passing, says the New York Times.
They invariably put spurs to their ped
ais, as it were, and got out of his way
as quickly as possible. This had oc-
Cured TO certain party of cyclists so
frequently that one of them, holder
than the rest, dismounted to investi-
gate. He found in the center of a new
" planted field small shade thatch, and
near by a stake, TO which was attached
a rope, at the other end of which col
lie dog was prancing and barking.
There was not human being in sight,
and the dog could certainly not have
been confined there with the idea OF
soaring away tramps, for his antics
showed that he was overjoyed to behold
the stranger.
AS the sun was very hot in the field,
the bicyclist concluded to rest awhile
under the thatch, still marveling at the
situation of his canine acquaintance.
A few moments later lonesome "Caw,
cav, cav" was heard in the air. The
dog at once became attentive; he lay
close to the ground, with his head
cooked to one side. A family of crows
presently alighted In the field, but be-
fore they could begin their meal the
dog was up and at them. The mystery
was then explained. The collie was used
as a scarecrow, and a most effective one
he proved to be.

to finding answers to them. The an
swers were written on a slip of paper,
and the one handing the largest cor

dainty souvenir. The next feature was
the composing of original conundrums,
and for some time eighteen young
people sat in blank silence.
