For few days Stratton was glad
glad as you would be. Then he began to
find wealth a burden, and a burden 1t
has been to this day
Now he is tired of being a millionaire.
He is leaving Colorado, where he gained
his wealth. Practically he is running
away from his money and what it brings.
1t is driving him from one of his two
great interests in ltfe-his mine In New
York or London, where minionaires are
comon enough to excite no remark, he
will devote himself to his other hobby,
the relief Of poverty.
Stratton is an Indianian, fifty-one years
old. He worked in Colorado as a car
penter mining when he could afford it,
for mining is an expensive luxury. He
went to Cripple Creek driving before
him g donkey bearing his camp outfit
He located two claims, and struggled
hard to develop them. At the last he
made his great strike. and named the
mine Independence in honor of the day.
Stratton has brought 100000 in gold
out of the ground; he has paying shares
in dozen other mines, and the Inde-
pendence and its twin the Washington,
show no signs Of exhaustion.
Stratton is tall and thin. He has an
American face. He is accounted a firm
but kindly employer He lived in his
mine almost 1t was his hobby. Men
tried to buy it, but he always answered.
don't want to sell; 1 am having lots
Of fun with it."
Nevertheless he has sold it because
he cannot manage it from a distance. and
because he cannot longer endure the
consequences OF wea1th-the beggars. the
sehemers, the promoters, the social guides
who offered to bring him OUT in Lon.
don and New York for a percentage.
He is tired of being millionaire where
vast wealth is conspicuous, ana will hide
in some great city.

Rarotonga is the Hottest and most
striking of the islands in the Cook, or
Hervey, group. In clear weather it can
easily be seen sixty miles away. We
sighted 1t at fully that distance one Sat
urday evening, but the next morning,
fine as the weather was, there was not
a trace of it to be seen, and it seemed
as if we must have passed ii in the dark
We began to understand how 1t was that
Capt. Cook, when he discovered the other
islands of the group, missed it entirely,
and that John Williams, who heard OF
its existence from the people of Aitutaka,
cruised about for whole week in a sail
ing vessel in its neighborhoOd without
finding it. When he made a second at
tempt some time after he had a similar
experience and was just about to give 1t
up when suddenly the clouds parted and
melted away and showed him the island
of which he was in search not far off.
This was our experience about 9 o'clock
on the Sunday morning, and by 1890 We
were landing al the little stone pier at
Avarua, receiving an enthusiastic wei
come from a crowd of well dressed ma
tives and their missionary, Rev. ]. J. K
Hutchin.
The people are q stalwart and hand
some race, very nearly allied to the
Maoris of New Zealand, who indeed re-
gard them as elder brothers. Nature is
bountiful the climate is delightful, and
since the advent of Christianity and civ
ilization they have made considerable ad-
vance in at least the externals of civilized
comfort A good road circles the island
and fairly well-built cottages of European
form, many rooted with corrugated iron,
are found along It's course. Many Of
these are very bare of any comfortable
furnishing, but it Is not easy to find one
which does not possess a sewing machine
on its stand, and the missionary's wife
says the women show considerable skill
in cutting out and making their clothing.
They certainly also display considerable
taste in their choice and combination Of
coIors. Horses and wheeled vehicles have
been introduced during recent years, and
1t seems to be the ambition of every
householder to own an American four
wheeler spider and one or more ponies.
Unfortunately their love for horsef1esh
has not advanced to such a point as to
lead to kindly treatment or care of the
animals after they have purchased them.
Queen Makea herself lent me her vehicle
for use on one occasion, and the horse
turned out to be so lame that 1t was a
pain to sit behind 1t.
TRADE IN COFFEE AND COPRA.
The native population of the island is
only 1900 and that of the whole group of
seven islands 10000 but the trade in copra
and coffee Is large enough to make 1t
worth while for an Australian steamer to
call every four weeks. and interisland
schooners seem to have a considerable
amount Of traffic. The settlement at
Avarua, Rarotonga, boasts of two stone
piers, several trading firms and very
mixed population of about 100. At the
earnest request Of Queen Makea and her

In regard to the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. The public affairs of the whole
group are now managed by parliament
of representative members, the British
resident on Rarotonga being the adviser
of the legislature. Up to the present the
liquor traffic has been effectively kept out
of the other islands. On Rarotonga, how
ever, the needs of the foreign population
seem to the resident to make prohibition
impossible and a law was passed the in
tention of which, apparently, was to reg
ulate the traffic so that, while the for

ONE MORE JULIET.

Miss Eugene That's LawtOn, Who
Halls From Louisville.
This seems to be a Juliet year New
Juliets are springing UP all around. You
can hardly reach out without putting
your hand on a recent Juliet. The lat
est in the Juliet line is at the old home
of Mary Anderson. and it is said the
people of Louisville, KY, are as much
excited over the promise of young wom-
an of that city, Miss Engenie That's Law
ton, as they were over the lanky girl
who years ago made her debut there and
afterwards became the most famous ac-
tress in the world.
Every once in a while Louisville has a
debut affair." but never has she been able
to produce another Mary Anderson. Many
of those present on Miss. Lawtons recent
debut night, however, went away pro-
claiming that this latest Louisville Juliet

be said, is not a personal name, but is the
patronymic of the royal house. We had
several opportunities of seeing Queen
Makea subsequently to this and were i'm

fore we left the island we paid her a spe

Miss Lawton was graduated only last
year from the Louisville female high
school. In her school days she had shown
great Evolutionary ability, and it was
generally understood among her class
mates that this one of their number had
histrionic ambitions that contemplated
international success. Miss Lawton i'm
mediately began studying for the stage,
and her recent debut as Juliet was mark
ed with the appreciation Of the public and
the press. She is only nineteen years
old, and 1t may be that great things will
come of her. She is the daughter of one

A STRANGE PROCESSION.

The mats were followed by a process

white straw hats, all trimmed with plue
ribbons, and the men In white suits, with
blue sashes and neckties. Then second
company came, whose colors were pink.
They were followed by third, whose
colors were pink and blue. Each COM
pany had a couple of enormous drums,
made from sections of the trunks Of the
barringtonia, the heads being of goat
skin. They also had a number of the Or
binary wooden drums and several tin
washing basins and paraffne tins which
served the purpose of adding to the
noise. As each company approached our
seats the members stepped out In turn,
shook hands and presented a small gift,
usually q handkerchief full Of green
coffee. Then the three companies ranged
themselves in front of us and we ad-
dressed them briefly, dwelling especially
on the question Of temperance Songs of

"Oh. Easter morn. blest Easter morn

"Oh. Easter morn. blest Easter morn
OF thee. of thee we sing.
The Christ is risen, the Christ Is risen.
New life is on the wing.
Just fifty happy faces, just one hun
bred sparkling eyes, participated in
the Easter services at the Divine
Science Sunday school last Sunday af-
ternoon. 1t not often falls to the lot
of reporter to see more happy gath
ering, and the promptness and happy
way in which the responses were made
was evidence that their little hearts
were in the work.
A beautiful and simple program was
arranged for the celebration.
Supt. o. b. Rolwage presided with
that grace and simplicity which soon
gains the confidence of the little ones
and when he announced the opening
hymn, the little voices sang out sweet.
ly and confidently.
The Lords prayer was then repeated
by all, after which Mrs. Norton ex-
planned to the children why Easter
was celebrated.
"Christ is Risen " "a concert exer-
cisel was the title of the program for
the Easter services, consisting of flow
Ell songs and recitations. Ten little
girls and boys represent the lily,
primrose, buttercup, crocus, daffodil,
pansy, tulip, spring beauty, violet and
anemone, and as the leader, represent
ing glorious Easter morning, brings
each flower to the front, and introduces
them in song and dialogue, the school
takes up the chorus, and as their little
voices swelled out in praise of the
glorious Easter day, the echo came
floating back " of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven"
The program was beautifully carried
out, and enjoyed by the great and
small. After the services, the chill
dren formed in procession, and repaired
to the beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. w. Norton. and all INDUCED in an
egg hunt. Enthusiastically colored eggs
were hidden in every conceivable place,
but the sharp eyes of the little ones
soon ferreted them out. The shouts
and laughter and scampering of the
little ones became catching" and
some of the older ones became "a
child again just for the day." and
among them Hon. o. B. Rollwage and
Col. Ed Landvoigt, showed that age
had not dimmed their vision, an
egg apiece rewarded their search.
AT 5 O'Clock the company were dis
missed, and parti-colored egg shells
marked the paths of the little ones on
their way home from the happiest oc-
casion of the year.

Fordyce cows are dying from
eating Cape Jessamine vines. No
such bad luck as this happens to
the Clarendon cows. Our wise city
fathers found out that rose bushes,
sweet peas, geraniums, garden truck
and Cape Jessamine vines were un-
healthy as COW food, and passed an
ordinance requiring that cows be
confined so that they could not get
at these deadly things. Fordyce
might try an ordinance forbidding
the culture of any sort of flowers
and shrubbery in the front yards of
its citizens known to be poisonous
as COW food.-Clarendon Sun.
Or, for that matter, the Fordyce
council might require persons who
are so foolish and extravagant as
to have Cape Jessamine vines and
flowers in their yards, to build q
brick wall around their premises
high enough so that the cows could
notjumr it, and with no openings
and requiring them to keep lad
ders for the convenience of neigh
bors with cows, who run over oc
casionally to borrow a little coffee
etc. I" Variety is the spice o
lite, and We see no reason why
the cows should not come In fol
some of the spice. They shoulc
certainly be protected against sucl
dangerous risks to their lives.
