Samoan Gentlenesa In War.

War is savage In its very nature, and
one looks for war among savages TO
be peculiarly barbarous. That such
is not always the case among the peo-
pie of Samoa Is attested by a letter
sent from Samoa by an American gen.
tleman who recently visited Apia. and
who gives q description of Mataafa's
army In camp after a battle between
the rival claimants t the throne:
We went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
the next fight. 1t was a very peaceful
scene. for their arms were all conceal
ed under the mats. where the men sat,
and many of the soldiers were accom-
panied by their wives and children.
They were amusing themselves by
smoking and beating tom-toms.
THE Samoans are a most amiable
race Of savages. and white people are
always perfectly safe among them.
Everywhere VI are greeted with smiles
and friendly mods and the salutatioa
'Talofa,' which means Love to you.'
from men, women and children.
''One instance Of their friendly feel
ing occurred during the big battle. A
white man. who lived In the street
where they were fighting. saw that
two Of his horses had strayed out be-
tween the hostile lines. He did not
want to lose them. and he did not want
to venture out In the line Of fire. So
he stuck a white flag out of his win
dow. Upon seeing it. both chiefs Or
dered their men to stop firing and hos
tilities were suspended while the white
nan went out and drove his horses to
q place of shelter. Then the combat
ants went at 1t again."

Note the women you meet each day

you see even on young faces. Almost
all Of the wrinkles and FUCKERS are the
result Of conference.-the few excep-
tons are lines caused by pain and suf-

forehead are caused by the s~enseless
habit Of elevating the eyebrows. That
is supposed to give expression to the
face. when all 1t really does is to make
ugly lines which need quantities of cold
cream and gentle massage to remove
Middle-aged faces are often marked by
lines just owe the temples, while the
rest of the face remains smooth and

nual shows were mainly made up OF
Asiatics, Leghorns and Games, with
the Asiatics in the majority. In the

To the hono- of Gen. Maxine Gomez
II must be said Of him that while he
has had many opportunities to get rich
he is today a poor man. He can hard
~ scrape money enough together to
pay his modest current bills. Not long
since an agent of the United States

ment Of the insurgent forces and their
return quietly to peaceful ~avocations.
The negotiations eventually reached a
point where 1t was deemed best for the
Cuban leader to send a Geographic
message to President Mckinley.
You frame the dispatch and send
It," said the envoy. "and I will be
back In an hour"
At the time appointed he appeared.
Did you telegraph the president OF
the United States?" was his FIRST Ques-
ton.
Gen, Gomez hesitated a moment and
then replied: mo, I haven't. I have
prepared the dispatch. but have not
put 1t on the wire. Here 1t Is. Read
It over"
The visitor complied. and after read
ing the paper through handed 1t back

suggestion:

with bowed head said:
"Senor, I would have sent II ere this,
but the truth is. I did not have the
money and didn't know where to turn
to get It. I am deeply Inundated to
have to confess my poverty. but am
obliged to do SO lest you place a wrong
construction on my hesitancy."
There was no further delay In get
ting that dispatch OF to Washington.
and the visitor separated from the VEN

him than he had ever felt before. The
incident satisfied him that whatever
might be his faults. Gen. Gomez was at

The Columbus journal., 1899-07-26

An old veteran Of the civil VA. Col.
generous at heart. was much annoyed
by the boys Of the neighborhood. who
persisted in climbing upon and run
ming over the fiat roof Of his barn. an
unpretending structure sloping toward
the alley, and easily scaled from the
asabarrel.
The colonel threatened and scolded.
but to no purpose. He strung barbed
wire along the edge Of the barn. but
the boys wrapped old clothes around
it and climbed over It. He chained a
savage dog on the roof. and the boys
made friends with the animal and stole
It.
In desperation. he smeared tar all
over the roof ono day. and the boys
were temporarily baked. but before
they had decided upon a plan for cir
cumventing the colonel It CHANGED that
q teamster. In driving through the al
ley one hot afternoon. lighted his pipe
and carelessly threw the match up on
the top Of the barn. with the result
that the roof was ablaze In an in
slant.
The boys happened to be playing IN
the alley. Quick as q fash they sprang
to the rescue. With buckets Of water
brought from . horse trough in the
back yard across the alley they clam
bered up to the edge Of the roof, and
fought the flames 50 successfully that
they put them out before the wood had
time to catch IRE.
Boys" exclaimed Col. Gunson. who
arrived on the scene in time to witness
the triumph Of the impromptu fire brig
ade. and was full OF generous enthu-
siasm, tomorrow I shall I've what's
left Of the tar with sand. strengthen
the supports OF the root. and you may
play on It all you want to hereafter.
You've got the right stun In you!"
The colonel was as good as his word,
but will 1t be believed?-such IL the
perversity Of boy nature-that after he
had turned that roof over to them
for a playground. not q boy In tn
neighborhood ever set foot upon !
again.
