From the South Pacific-from Samoa
comes a curious, pathetic story of de-
votion to the Lost Cause" says the
Saturday Evening Post, and even the
least susceptible reader must wonder VINO
the unknown eX-CCnfederate was and
what was his history.
The Samoans are expert at rowing and
sailing-from which fact Bougainville, the
French discoverer, called their country
the Navigators' Islands-and since the
advent Of the white man every Samoan
boat must have its flag Just what the
flag represents is not SO important
question
Sitting in the cool of his porch over
looking the hay one afternoon during his
term as land commissioner, ex-Chief jus
tice Chambers of Samoa, saw a boat
approaching the shore flying a flag the
sight of which struck m at once with
peculiar interest. 1t was none other than
the Stars and Bars of the Southern Con-
federacy. What could it be doing. wonder
ed he. in the South Pacific-and so long
after Appomattox? He determined TO
learn the history Of the flag and get pos
session of 1t.
But. meeting the boat as it landed, he
found the owner by no means willing 10
part with his flag. The offer of the
American chief" to buy it was prompt
ly though very politely, declined.
Then the justice tried a little dirlo-
macy; he took the boatman into a store
and bought for him bolt of calico and
then a kit of mackerel-which delighted
the Samoan to whom they were luXurfes.
But the native still insiS ted that he could
not part with his flag
1T would not be right for me to give
It to YOU" said he, in such manner as
TO show that some deep feeling was In
Volved
But why? Where did you get it? And
why do you value it 50 highly?" asked
M. Chambers.
"Wen, l viii tell you" answered the
Samoan. "A long time ago a man came
to Samoa from far off in America-where
you came from. He was a sail1r but
told me he had been a soldier. He was
my friend and lived at my house. But
after a while he got SICK; and one day
said to me:
Tasi, look in my bag there and get
out my flag. and put it up en- the wall
where I can see it
Il did so; and he would lie there and
look at it and look at it. Several days
afterward he grew worse. He called me
to him and said:
" 'Tasi, I am going II die. I am far
away from my home and my people This
flag is all I have in the world; you have
been my friend; I give it to you. Keep #
as long as you live. Don't give it to any
body-and whatever you do, don't you
ever let a Yankee have it
mo. my chief, I cannot part with this
fag-nOt till I die"

Ten years ago the following definitions
of kiss were published in the Sunday
Cincinnati Enquirer, and as a number Of
readers have asked that they be reprint
ed they were last Sunday reproduced,
being considered well worth the space
given them:
A kiss is an insipid and tasteless NOR
sci, which becomes delicious and delect-
able in proportion as it is favored with
love.
The sweetest fruit on the tree of love.
The oftener plucked the more abundant
it grows.
A thing of use to no one, but much
priced by two.
The baby's right. the lovers privilege,
the parents benson, and the hypocrite' s
mask.
That which you cannot give without
taking, and cannot take without giving.
The food by which the fame of love is
fed.
The flag of truce in the petty wars of
courtship and marriage.
The acme of agony to a bashful man.
The only known smack that will
calm a storm.
a telegram to the heart in which the
operator uses the sounding system.
Nothing divided between two
Not enough for one, just enough for
two, too much for three.

\ Strange story That Comes From

truth and nothing but the truth: 'I was

for hogs failed TO show up In the after

I lost my way. Night came on, it began
raining and I found it necessary to apply
to the owner of the log cabin for lodg-

the family consisted of husband, wife
and four children. Furniture was scant.

WHAT IS A KISS?
Womans Food Mans Luxury Boys Physic the Babys Right
the Lovers Privilege, the Parents Benson and
the Hypocrite's Mask.

A simple thing in which a whole world
of meaning Is sometimes hidden.
The stars in the armament of love.
The best plaster for the wounds given
in domestic tiffs.
The poorest mothers richest gift.
A cheeky application.
A kiss resembles a short sermon con-
sisting of two heads and an application.
Cupids sealing wax.
The essence of tulips (two lipS).
The only gift a generous lover likes
to get back again.
Temporary facial friction generating IN
stantaneous rapture and bliss.
The souls embassador,
The dew gathered from the lips of
earth's fairest flowers
A game for two, always in fashion.
A rock in the sea Of life on which the
good ship Bachelor was wrecked.
The cream of courtship.
That which is exchanged between two
persons is something while in the act OF
exchanging, nothing after the exchange
is made, and for which neither can show
value received.
Matrimonial bird lime. 0sF+F

knee, with shortening Of the limb This
is due to two reasons, the relaxation of
the muscular force on the one hand and
the consequent increased pull on the
other, the muscles which keep the limb
extended usually being the ones rar-
alyzed, while the flexors still act bend
ing the limb at the joints, these in turn
becoming shortened by a sort of com
pensatory atrophy. The action NAV be
compared to a set of guy ropes, one OF
which Is heightened and the opposing set
shortened. The extensor muscles In the
foot, for example, being paralyzed the
hexors are not antagonized by them and
still being at their normal tension they
pull up the heel so that the toes point
to the ground, and the patient walks on
tip-tce. but at the same time the muscles
of the lower leg and perhaps those OF
the upper leg have become shortened, and
the whole foot is lifted from the ground
Comparing this to a horse who walks
on the tips OF his fingers and toes his
hoofs corresponding TO nails, physicians
call this pes equinus or horses foot, and
sometimes cut the tendons in the heel

position, but II the disease still pro-
