Snmon,s Talking Man.

Samoa's talking man. or "tOlafali, .
is q character. All the affairs of state
of the village in which he holds Office
are carried upon his shoulders. In or
binary he is the chief adviser. persuad-
en-. convincer and restrainer of the
leading chiefs.
Having the gift of eloQaence. he
makes the most Of it. He enjoys i'm
munity from many things. He cannot
be spoken of in ordinary terms. If it
should be necessary to speak of his
eyes or his mouth or his limbs. special
honorable words must be used. words
which attach to him alone and have
never been applied to the personal
parts of ordinary men.
AS he lands to deliver his soft. per-
euasive. mellifluous oratory. with staff
of Office in his hand and his fly buster
thrown over his shoulder. any one can
see that he is man of great impor-
lance. or If this is not apparent from
his attitude it may be gathered from
the attention paid to his utterances by
gray haired chiefs and by youths and
maidens. If the talking man is a cler.
T fellow and understands his bust
ness. he is the chief ruling power in his
tribe. although the nominal headship
Is always vested in chief or patri-
archal figurehead.

slow Suicide.

A source Of great evil among all
workers is the widespread habit Of
eating hearty meal hurriedly when
the body is in a state of exhaustion.
Too often. alas. the evil is enhanced
by the fact that the food is innutri-
dous. badly cooked and clogging in
itself. This is one species of slow sui
eide. causing long train Of evils
which are usually attributed to over
work. Now. 1t were better to go with
out food than to take 1t under these
conditions. Yonr dog knows better
than to eat when he is tired. and II
you will watch him you will notice
that he is always reluctant to be en-
dced into play after eating. Left to
himself he will take a nap. or at least
drop care for awhile and rest. HUI
manity might raise its standard Of
health by following the example set
By the instincts Of the brute crea-

The Cost Of 4 Duke.

A correspondent of London NJ. A. p.
tells story Of the Duchess Of Mont
rose. whose beauty is no less renowned
than her philanthropy The scene was
q bazaar where the duchess was selling
photographs. One old Scotchwoman
was very anxious to secure a photo
graph Of the duchess. but the price ask
ed was 5 shillings. The old woman
hesitated. She wanted the photograph,
but she could not well afford SO much.
'.You can have my husband" said
the duchess. with an amused glance at
the duke standing near. '.for 2s. 3D.
The would be purchaser looked at the
duke and then at his photograph con-
temptuously
.Half a crown!'' she blurted out. Il
wouldna give silver saxpence for
him. But she added insinuatingly.

The duchess was unable to resist
this. and herself added the other half
crown to the bazaar Golfers. or. as an
other version Of the story goes. the de
spised duke proffered the balance.

Mustn't Gown" Their En4incs,
The railroad engineer who owns
his engine is not in favor with his SUI
periors. Complaints about trivial mat
ters are likely to be made against him,
and soon he finds himself without a
berth. The phrase owning an engine
does not mean that the engineer has
acquired title to his iron horse. The
expression is used of man who has
been with certain engine so long that
he becomes part of it. He knows its
every popularity. he feels its every
protest against a heavy load. and he
nurses it and coddles it as If it We're
his child. He dislikes to run the en-
CINE at top speed Tor fear something
will happen to it. and in consequence
his train is frequently behind time. He
takes a grade at half the rate he should.
and he runs cautiously down hill. In
a word. he owns his engine.
OF course this is all very nice and
idsllic. end it is the kind of thing a
person likes to read about in stories of
the railroad. But plain. practical rail
road men look at 1t differently They
argue that the best engineer is the man
who never fails to run his train accord
ing to his running time. the man who
Is never behind and seldom ahead. So
it comes about that the engineer who
makes master of that which should
be his servant wonders who has a
grudge against him. But it isn't a
grudge: it's business. New York Mail

candidate for the Office of correspond
ing secretary. A story had come to the
Worcester delegates to the effect that
Mai. Leonard, who is now state secre-
tary of the Catholic Order Of Forest
ers, was to move to Boston, thus re-
moving himself from the Springfield
diocese. In this event, he would not
be candidate for reelection. and the
Worcester delegates united on Mr.. Lar
kin as their candidate. he having
served the union for IL years as re-
conding secretary.
Maj. Leonard told a reporter for The
Spy last night that he does not intend
to move to Boston this year anyway
and that he will continue to make his
home in Springfield. This definite
statement from Maj. Leonard will put
an end to any talk about a candidate
for the office he fills so well.
