"HOW!"
From The Argonaut:

There are a number of ways in which
you can test a woman's beauty and prove
that 1t Is vain. You can see her after
she has danced until dawn and drives
nome in the cold, blue light. You can
drop in upon her when her neglige is
such in reality, and not a matter Of
ruffles and lace. You can see her rise
dripping from the surf, no daughter of
foam and fire, but a creature of dank
locks and purple lips. Or you can look
at her after she has gone twice round
the links In the blazing sun and the dust
fraught wind. All these are likely to
convince you of the deceitfulness of beau
". But some women are so fair as to
bear each and all of these tests. Yet If
you We're to put them in a smoky, close

tucson and Yuma, at the middle of an

crease your ugliness n bad temper to
be forced to look at them, When a
woman under these last conditions is still
pleasant to contemplate you may set it
down that her charms are real and en-
during.
Harrington did so in the case of The
girl in Section 2. He was in Section 6
himself, and her back was turned to him:
OUT she raced the beVelled mirror, so con-
siderately built in the end of the Cpr
and he sat so that he could watch her
reflected in it. Besides which he could
see her back hair, which was brown ana
looked soft, and which escaped in winps
that curled up tighter and tighter as Tie
day grew hotter and hotter. Harrington
thought about a French novel he had
once read. whose heroine had 'boueles
folles qui frissaient autour de sa nuo,ie."
He had always liked that idea. but had
never seen it realized until now.

NATIVES WERE EATEN

Not Used For Food Were Horribly
Mutilated-The Raids Are a Com
mon Occurrence. p

New York, Jan. 5.-A special to the
Times from Nashville, Tenn, says: The
Southern Presbyterian board of missions
in this city received letters today from
Rev. l.. V. Vass and Rev. H.. P. Haw-
kins. missionaries Of the church sta
toned at Luebe, Congo Free State,
Africa, giving accounts of the burning
Of 16 villages and the killing of 80 or
more natives by state troops. They re-
port that some of the victims were eaten
by cannibals and that the bodies of all
who were slain were mutilated, their
heads having been cut off. Mr.. Vass was
formerly of Newberne, N. c., and has
been engaged in mission work at Luebe
since February 10, 1899. Mr.. Hawkins
was formerly of Vicksburg, Miss. .
MI. Vass states that tidings of aiding
by the Zappo Zaps, in the Bena Kamba
country, have reached them, and the
work Of h missionaries being threat
ened. h Rev. Sheppard was sent to
make an investigation. He went to the
Zappo Zaps camp and found that IA viii
~plundered. He say At bodies lying
around the camp. From three bodies the
flesh had ben carved and eaten.
The chief said that 80 or 80 had been
killed and five persons eaten by his peo-
pie. Mr.. Sheppard saw 81 right hands
cut off and drying over a slow fire in
order to be afterward taken back to the
state officers. Sixty women prisoners
were confined in a pen and 16 men had
already been sent away prisoners.
1t Is stated h raid was ordered be-
cause the people could not pay the ex-
orbitant tribute demanded by the state.
The missionaries state that they report
ed the matter to he proper officials and
demanded the withdrawal of the troops,
and that the chief instituted a counter
prosecution on account of the charges
made. The missionaries further say the
zappo Zaps are a tribe kept by the state
for It's protection. They are sent out to
collect rubber, ivory, slaves and goats as
a tribute from the people, and can then

Policy Is Approved by the
Italian Government.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Tells Why That Nation Was Late In
Sending in Its A~nSWer-The Final
Form Has Not Been Decided
Upon Yet.

Washington, Jan. 5.--It Is learned at
the state department that the last power
to return an answer to Secretary Hays
overtures regarding the "open door"
policy that that government was more
prompt than any other in the negotia-
IONS. This is explained by the fact. that
the Italian government was addressed
on the subject some time after the other
continental nations had it under consid-
Grafton, owing to the act that our am
bassador, Mr.. Draper. was away from
his post on leave of absence in the United
States when the identical note Of in
structions were sent out, and it was re-
garded as best to make no departure
from the rule which has been adopted in
the case of the other governments of ad-
dressing them through the United States
representatives at the foreign capitals.
Immediately pom Mr.. Diapers return
to Rome, at a not distant date in the
past, he laid the matter before the Ital-
ian government, which, therefore, has
acted with more promptness than most
of the other powers.
The agreements have not vet beer re-
duced to their ina form, but the state
department will enter upon the task of
putting them into shape, and as in each
case the agreement to the principles in
volved in our invitation is returned in
unequivocal terms, according to the de-
partment officials, it is not anticipated
that any difficulty will be experienced
IN accomplishing this work satisfactorily.
endln the outcome, the state depart
ment does not intend to make any state
ment for the public as to the exact terms
OF the agreement, although it is admitted
that the o has been covered with
unusua! accuracy in the press reports
up to this point.
