The Caroline islands group includes
besides coral islands five mountainous
Islands of basalte formation, beautiful
aud fertile with rivers and springs.
Among the many queer legends of
these children Of the Pacific there Is
none more highly improbable than
their theory as to the origin of these Is
lands and their inhabitants. They
think they themselves were very strong
In the water-in fact. they lived In 1t.
The story goes that woman aud her
children were floating around on the
reef when a man appeared from the
west with a basket Of soil on his shoul-
ders. He had started out to make an
island with q mountain on II. One Of
the children cried out to him. Give US
little soil to make place for our
mother to rest, for she Is very weak
and cannot swim" He took out a
handful OF the earth and threw 1t
down, making an island. As the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyly made a hole In the has
ket. so as he proceeded on his way he
left q trail Of land behind. Suddenly
he became conscious that the basket
seemed light. and, looking around. he
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon 1t. and thus the Is
lands were formed.

WHEN PERIL COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger the
Test OF True Courage.

1t Is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile prop

when he knows that he must take
supreme risk in battle or In storm:
Il am powerless against the fate which
was deereed for me from the beginning
of the world. II my time has come.
cannot help 1t; II not. all the forces OF
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
70 harm me-" But when without an in-
stant's warning a rock crashes through
ships bottom and the waters rush
into the gap. when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard, when the fog Is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar OF the sea browns the sound OF
his orders a new test Is applied. Then
IT is that the courage which rests on
nothing firmer than negatlon gives
way. and In his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as \ madman.
There have been steamship disasters
In which men Of humble station. OF all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality of heroism. and there have been
those In which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans. have earned
eternal disgrace by their cOwardice.
The point we are making Is not that It
IL possible to draw hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
one race and another In the matter Of
bravery. but that the affirmative sense
of responsibility for ones own acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong.
between nobility aud lgnomlny and OF
the grandeur Of duty we'll done at the
sacrifice of self, IL far surer depend
enee In the presence of sudden peril

was especially engaged to hang the pic

excellent copies OF the worlds greatest
works Of art, and the man. an artist,
found his task labor of love.
With great care he hung the more
valuable copies In the roomy reception
hall and had just finished his task
when the lady returned.
Her eyes snapped as she surveyed his
work.
"Who hung those old chestnuts
there" she cried.
"Old masters. madam" said the star

'Old chestnuts. say; It's the same

theatrical combination, ''and the porter
had tucked US snugly in our berths,
when we were awakened to the con-
sciousness that our train was held up.'
The robbers marched lis out OF the car
and made us deliver. Fortunately not
one Of us had more than few dollars
in cash. But the man who held UP the
car porter gave yelp OF delight: See
what I've found! Put 'em back. Start

'In the carslsss porter's vest pocket
he had discovered a roll of bills as big
as the pocket would hold. 1t looked as
II there must have been several hun
dred dollars. We all knew Of the prof
table rapaciousness OF the Pullman
car porter, but never dreamed that his
accumulations were 80 large. Yet the
friendly human spark OF forgiveness
and sympathy was In our hearts for
the poor fellow losing so much at one
fell swoop. We were gathered In the

dates back to the year HOO A. ID. AT

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Ruled Steady, with Corn and
Oats Wenk.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Wheat ruled very
steady. The principal support came from
a prominent elevator firm. Traders were
influenced by this buying and worked on
the long side. On all the hard spots there
was plenty of wheat for sale and the
closing was none too strong. Liverpool
was unchanged to 1-Sd lower: Paris 1c
per bushel lower. Primary receipts We're
1lG.60o bushels less than a year ago, the
Northwestern movement showing a de-
cded falling oI. Clearances were 264,000
bushels. Cash people reported a better
enquiry from miilers. The export was
very slow.
Corn was weak. The principal feature
was the selling by n prominent local pro-
fessional The support was scattered.
Country acceptances were reported light
and the cash demand very poor.
Oats were easier, keeping pace with
corn. The trade was very light and fea-
tureless. Today's CARROTS We're 440. with
155 for tomorrow.
Provisions were firm early, with the
hog market and later the market eased
off on liberal selling of ribs by a Western
packer. together with moderate offerings
by miscellaneous longs. Local packers
were the leading buyers. The closing was
steady at the decline.

they have carefully and thoroughly inves-
tigated the running of the race and the
previous races of the above-named horses

that there IL not the least bit of a doubt
that the result OF the race was prear-
ranged so that the mare Lizzie Kelly was

MASSAGE pARLoRs RAIDED.
The Police Arrest Three Occupants
of IL House.

Policemen Stahl and Aud arrested three
women last night, because of alleged viO-
lation of the law relating to massage
houses. The prisoners are Anna Potter.
Ora Field and George e. Stewart. and
all conducted what are known mas
sage houses near Thirteenth and III
Streets northwest. IL is understood other
arrests on similar charges will follow.
The arrests We're made IN accordance
with the policy of the authorities to
break up massage houses where there is
any suspicion of violation OF the law. In
formation was given the police several
days ago, on which warrants We're based.
and last night Stahl and Aud served the
papers, taking the women to the First
precinct station. Each prisoner gave col
lateral in the sum of $50, and was re-
leased pending trial.
Complaints have been frequent lately of
the presence of the women In the resi-
dence section of the city. Both Major
Sylvester and Lieutenant Amiss have re-
ccived word that the law was being vio-
lated and these protests led to the ac-
ton taken last night In making the ar
rests. The women deny that anything is
wrong in the conduct OF their separate
establishments. Sergeant Hodges directed
the action of the policemen.
