1t was III MucGuwan who some

which floating fields aud gardens nre

At Times He Makes 1t Unpleasant

A young woman who sings In n church
choir in this city was In one Of the de-
partment stores the other day when
the detective employed there stopped
besSlc her and, pointing 10 a woman

The singer snw the woman take two
articles from the counter when the
shopgirl was not looking and drop
them into her bag.
"Why, she is stealing" she said.
yes" said the detective, ''and II you
VIII follow her to the next counter with
me you Will see her take more things"
The singer was Interested, and she
walked along with the detective. Two
more articles were dropped in the bag,
and then the detective arrested the
shoplifter. She madc the usual scene
and protested her innocence The de-
tcctive asked the singer If she would
step back TO the Office with him and
corrobOratc his charges, and she went,
unconscious of further trouble. There
was no doubt as 10 the shoplifter's
guilt. She came of respectable fam
lily. and she convinced the singer TINT
she took the articles not because she
needed them or the money that they
would bring, but because she had the
shopliftlng habit.
When these facts were settled, the
detective thanked the singer for her MS.
sIstance and told her that she must be

only fifty-eight persons in the whole
tribe, so it is probable that il has de-
creased largely during the centuries.
The island is thirty miles away
from the nearest point ON the shore of
Hudson Bay, where there is n colo
ny of Eskimos, and it is only once in
very long time that this strait freez-
es over. The tribe cherisheS a tradl-
ton that about seventy-fve years ago
this happened, and two hunters from
the mainland visited them, though the
visitors We're as much astonished as
their hosts TO know that there were
other men on earth. Each tribe be-
lieyed that they We're the only people

PASSION PLAY REALISTIC.
The Eject of the Acting Upon One
Etomnn's Nerves.

In The WOman's Home Companion
Lillian Bell writes Of her experiences
NJ Oberammergau and Of the impress
sions made upon her by the great
Christ drama She concludes with
these vivid words:
AS to the play itself, 1 wish | need
say nothing about 1t. Ny mind, my
heart, my soul have all been wrench
cd and twisted with such emotion as
IS not pleasant to feel nor eXpedient
to speak about. 1t was too real, too
hoartrending. too awful. | hate, /
abhor, myself for feeling things so
ncutcly. / wish / were skeptic,
scoffer an atheist. | wish | could put
my mind on the mechanism OF the
play. | wish ! could believe that 1t
all took place 1900 years ago. | wish
/ didn't know that this suffering on
the stage was all actual. | wish /
thought these people were really Tyr0-
lcse peasants, wood carYers and pot
tcrs and that all this agony was only
II play. | hate the women who are
weeping all around me. hate the
men who are letting the tears run
down their checks and whose shout
ders are hcaving with their sobs. 1t
IS so awful to see n man cry!
"But. no; It IS all true. 1t is taking
place now. | am one of the women
at the foot of the cross The anguish,
the cries, the sobs, are all real. They
pierce my hcurt The cross, with It's
pltoous burden. Is outlined against the
real sky. The green hill beyond IL
Calvary. Doves hutter In and out,
and butterflies dart across the SHIFTS
of sunlight The expression on Ghrlsts
face Is one of anguish, forgiveness and
Ilty unspealtablc. Then his head drops
forward on his breast, 1t grows dark,
the weeping becomes lamentation, and
as they approach to thrust the spear
Into his side, from which, ! have been
told the blood and water really may
be seen to pour forth, ! turn faint ana
sick and close my eyes. 1t has gone
too far | am no longer myself, but Il
dlsorganlZed hemp of racked nerves
and hystcrIcal weeping, and not even
the descent from the cross, the rising
from the dead or the triumphant ascen-
sion can console me or restore my bal
nnce. The Passion play but once in

They speak a dialect different from
that of amy other known tribe. Their
huts are built Of the skulls aud jaws

In the middle of Their primitive

Among the Greenland Eskimo this

made of HAT piece OF limestone,
around the edge of which narrow
pieces Of limestone are glue !. Their

The dress of these people also differs

Delegate Wilcox, who says that If
Congress does not give Liliuokalani a

so. With a program of city and coun-
