Wise in HIS Generation.

An amusing reply was made to a
question propounded to a student at
the medical college by one of the lee
turers the other day.
The instructor had Just been giving
his class a few bits Of choice advice as
to what they should do In the event
they found themselves in position de-
manding prompt action, no person Of
greater ability being available.
Remember to have confidence In
what you have learned here and to
keep your wits about you," he had said,
"and don't show the least hesitation in
your actions, but proceed to apply the
lessons you have learned to-day.
"Now," he asked. turning to young
countryman in the class. "what would
you do II you should find yourself with
the care of man who had just fallen
victim to an accident of some kindT
The reply was conclusive.
'I'd send for DOCTOR" said the rls-
ing young edico.-MemphIs Scimitar.

Looks Like Mr.. Lincoln.

In the person of j. Wayne Amos,
San Bernardino, Cal, has a living
image of the late President Abraham
Lincoln. Like Mr.. Lincoln, Amos is
tall and spare, his shoulders slightly
STOPPING, his features kindly, but firm,
and his eyes keen. And he is ever so
homely. The likeness in all respects is
so startlingly apparent that it seems
hard to believe that 1t is not the real
instead of the double who stands be-
fore the observer.
Like Mr.. Lincoln, Amos is an inveter-
ate story teller, full of common-sense
philosophy and dry humor, fond of
practical joke, and is the embodiment
Of good nature. While by no means
awkward in his speech or manner he
gives one the impression that he is
double -jointed in spots, while his
length of neither limb irresistibly re-
calls the story Of Lincoln's inability to
lie at full length In steamers berth,
and his solemn suggestion to the ships
carpenter who came In to saw out the
partition that he saw part Of his legs
off instead.
Strange to relate, during Lincoln's ad-
ministration Mr.. Amos was govern
ment employe in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. He is native Of
Baltimore, was brought up in Ohio and
lived In Kansas for many years. In
that State his farmer friends sent him
to the Legislature, where he served his
constituents faithfully and ably. He is
a man of education, virtually self-made
and has had an interesting career. He
Is now 65 years old.

so heinous as failure to observe Sun
day with a strictness only to be match
ed in the Plymouth and Massachusetts,
Bay settlements of the puritans. Fine,
hard labor and deprivation of church
privileges await the offender who stays
contumaciously away from church, who
sings on that day other than hymns,
who tells stories except those in the
Bible.
Now, when the Americans of Tutuila
found that their first plunge into re-
publican form of government freed
them from the necessity of sending
their most treasured possessions to a
king in distant Apia they began to see
their way to another nibble at the ex-
cellent cake of independence, and the
Sunday observance was the next rally
ing point for patriots. The news was
carried from village to village and was
secretly discussed in every village and
every household. Except by the native
pastors, the idea met with a ready ac-
ceptance all over Tutuila and the vii
lage chiefs found themselves practic-
ally instructed on the point by their
constituents. In due time, and nothing
in Samoa is allowed to be damaged by
excess Of haste, the chiefs met at the
village of the high chief Maunga in
Pago-Pago. 1t was found that they
were unanimous that 1t was an outrage
to accept any longer the restrictions
which the faifeau had so long placed on
Sunday.
Despite their courage in declaring
their opinions. on this important matter
there was not d chief ia Tutuila who
dared violate a single one of the Sun
day observations. So they decided to
appeal to the governor. In what form
10 ask remedial action from the gov
ernor recent instance had taught
them. An early ordinance of the new
government, one really based on tenn
porary conditions of the state Of war,
had been but short time before re-
pealed and proclamation of that action
duly made. Accordingly the chiefs as
sembled in PagoPago invited Gov.
Tilley to debate with them on a matter
Of great Importance. There were the
usual concOmitants of such Samoan
meetings, the wearisome round of kava
drinking, of dancing girls, of baked pig
and other food and Of hours of compli
mentary speeches. Last of all, when
they got down to business, the chiefs
described to the governor the offensive
customs and besought him to repeal the
fourth commandment and they would
be happy forevermore.
1t Is not known whether the power of
naval officer in command of collier
like the Aborenda and colonial de-
pendency extends as far as this, nor is
it at all clear that the action could be
accomplished If submitted in regular
form to the Secretary of the Navy. At
all events Commander Tilley had given
no answer when last heard from.--New

DO NOT KEEP THE SABBATH.

America's New Subjects in the soutt
Seas Opposed to Sunday Laws.
Possibly no other naval man ever
had to take action upon so radical n
measure as that which has been pro-
posed to Commander Tilley by the new
est Americans Of all, the Samoan peo-
pie of Tutuila. After much debate the
native population have asked Com
mander Tilley, who Is their governor.
to repeal the fourth commandment.
They do not want to keep the Sabbath
holy.
American Samoans, those of Tutuila
and Manua, have lost no time in re-
linquishing their former monarchical
ideas and becoming what they are
pleased to consider the real thing In
the way Of fellow citizens Of the great
republic which in formal deliberations
they call the "Unaike Selake Meleke, /"
or Meleke for short. After the king
the only system Of restraint upon them
came from the church, or II not, from
the resident missionaries Of the London
Mission Society, at least from the far
less prudent and responsible native
ministers or "faifeaus."
There is no better job in Samoa than
to be faifeau of a village church. Where
all are idle he is conspicuously free
from all necessity to work. His duty
Is to conduct the village school at dawn
and sunset of secular days and to
preach three sermons on Sundays, and
one at the Wednesday evening prayer
meeting. In connection with his gen.
eral duties he considers himself spe-
cial officer Of the moral law, and at the
village councils he reports all offenders
and demands that they be punished. No
other offense, in his opinion, can be half

one of the ENJOYS to France In 1898,
seeking more perfect amity between
the countries; entered Congress in
1893, becoming one of the ablest men in
that body; was Secretary of State and
of War and in 1901 became Chief JUS

in 1885.
Chief Justice Marshall maintained a
commanding position in the Supreme
Court. The most important decisions,
especially those on international law,
We're pronounced by him. His decis-
ions are to-day regarded the standard
authority ON Constitutional questions,
and in the words of a biographer have
"imparted life and vigor not only to
the Constitution, but to the body pofft-
ic." He is regarded as one of the
worlds most eminent jurists.
The centennial of Marshal's installa-
ton was observed not only at Rich
mond but at the national capital, where,
under the direction of the Supreme
Court, with the cooperation of Con-
gress, commemorative exercises were
held. The day was also observed In
American colleges, law schools and
public schools.

reached her early womanhood and her
condition caused the greatest anx iety

the matter caused considerable excite.
ment in the neigh hhorhood and, when
questioned by reporter, Mr.. Loucks
made the following statement:
About two years ago my daughter,
who was then in her 10th year, was in
bad health. She was pale and thin,
without strength. or vitality. in fact her
condition was that which is generally
called all run down. We were, of
course, worried about her and employ
ed the best physicians to attend her.
They studied her case and although
they did everything possible, gave her
no relief which was permanent. The
late DIR. Angle had first called my at
tention to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my wife had heard
they were fine tonic, 30 we decided
to try them for my daughter. We did

health, strength and flesh.

If they are lot cured they throw it
aside as no good, or take it spasmodic-
ally. We believe in tair trial in
strict accordance with directions and
our faithfulness was rewarded for she
was greatly benefited by them. Her
color came to her cheeks and she con-
tinued to gain in weight and strength.
We have told great many people
about them and have been glad to do
so."

yesterday that only about one in ten will
get a homestead, for there are only 1900

ranged that it will be almost impossible
to practice any collision on the part of
the men who will conduct the drawing
ard the clique of land spectators who
are said to be on the ground. The draw
ing will take place July %, but the en-
tries for the land will not be recorded
until August 6, and then it has been so ar
ranged that not more than 125 will be al
lowed to make their entry and pay their
fee on the first day. thus preventing, as
far as possible, any great rush.
In other words, after all the tickets

successful homesteader must take his
turn according to number, as he cannot
make flS entry until the Scneduls con-

Only soldiers and sailors can be repre-

The principal reason for adopting the
lottery scheme was to check as far as
possible the litigation which has hereto
fore grown out of the opening of certain
reservations to settlement. Assistant See
retary Ryan said yesterday that under
the old system of opening the lands
fights and riots sometimes ensued, and
the weak were trampled under foot by
the strong. And often six or seven would
claim one homestead. Only the other day

out of the opening of reservation some
eight or nine years ago was finally set

spent in the courts by the claimants

AT CHASE'S NEXT WEEK.
ga Day and n Night the Last of the
HOyt Comedies.

With the presentation of "A Day and
Night" at Chase's all of next week, the
season of the musical comedy stock COM
pany will come to an end and the house
will be closed until September l6. The
season of the company has been sue
cessful one throughout. The players have
attained a popularity which is almost un-
bounded. The selection of "a Day and
Night as the final production is
happy one and probably the biggest au-
dtences of the summer will be present to
enjoy the rare fun of the piece and give
their favorites a hearty farewell ovation.
Elaborate preparations are being made
for the presentation "A Day and a Night
was one of the biggest Hoyt successes in
New York and other metropolitan cities
and the selection of the piece as the
fourth production in the series of mid
summer presentations will undoubtedly
prove to be most popular one.
Day and a Night" has been seen
in Washington but once. 1t is keenly
witty and Is marked by a typical Hoytian
plot-not heavy enough to weigh on the
mind, but sufficiently coherent to retain
the interest to the end 1t is an elastic
plot. too, and will give the desired op-
portunity for the Introduction of an un-
limited number OF speciaties. The now
city features of the programmes at
Chase's during the reign of the stock COM
pany have been the most delightful parts
of the performances. In that line of work
the players forming thu Chase company
seem to excel. Their versatility Is marked
and next week will bring the favorites
out in new roles. new specialties. and new
and elaborate costumes. All of the popular
Chase players will be in the cast includ--
ing Otis Harlan, John w. Dunne Little
Chip. Tony Hart, David Andrada, Mary
Marble, Henriette Lee, and all the other
pretty girls and clever men, including the
now quite famous chorus.
