A single oak of good size is said to lift 1913
tons of water during the months 1t is in

of the labor of a single oak we can gain

SAMOAN BELLIES GOWNS.
They Grow ON Trees and Arc Almo.
Ready for Uso Whom
Gathered.

Party gowns for Samoan eirls grow
on the tropical trees and almost ready
for wear. says the Indianapolis News.
When native beauty Of Samoa decides
to 60 to special entertainement she
enters the forest to look for her gala
attire. The native kiki, or kilt, is the
only addition to her ordinary costume
that the Samoan girl provides for spc-
cial parties. The material for the kiki
grows on the tree. 1t consists of rib
bon of bark few inches wide that is
stripped from the tree easily. While
damp the bark, which is very thin, is
crinlsled so as to form wavy outlines.
and the ribbons are colored all sorts
OF bright hues. The Samoan girl then
plaits waistband from the same kind
of bark and hangs the ribbons on it,.
Handmade flowers of the same material
IRE often added also.
When the kili is completed the dusllv
belle puts it on over her scanty laval
ava, or waist cloth, and goes to tho
dance or other entertainment, The
girls thus make their own party
dresses. and some of them show great
taste and skill Ia fashioning the old
garments, although the captious might
allege that they might. without being
overdressed, have Samoa on.

DID NOT KNOW HIS BRAND.
And the Result was That the NAV.
erick Cot In the Wrong
Corral.

It GIL happened in q church not over
q mile from the city post Office, says
the Washington Star. There was a
young peoples reception afoot, and
there was q programme upon which
appeared the name of tenor soloist
who is given to scrambled hair, SOM
breros and neckties that are vocifer-
Gus. 1t was getting well along in the
evening and the soloist had failed to
appear. 1t 80 happened that nobody
there knew him, and the lady who
had engaged him had also failed to ap.
pear. Presently one of the men active
in greeting the guests noticed large,
picturesque-appearing man enter the
church parlor. and after looking care
fully around him slide into seat, be-
side which he deposited big SOM
brero. 1t then appeared that his hair
quite answered the description, also
his tie, which was a screaming scar
let. The young manager approached
the stranger, sure of his prey, and.
bending over him, said, in his most
dulcet manner: THE audience has
been expressing regret at your non
appearance. Will you now favor us
with one of your songs?''
The stranger looked up at the
young man with rather startled air
and then blurted out: "Songi Mister,
you've rounded up the wrong critter.
l don't know G fiat from gewhiz. I'm
off the reservation, you see, and was
wondering what kind of a game was
on in here. and came in sociable-like.
IL reckon, mister, these folks amt
got my brand" and he fled into the
outer darkness.
