any ola hats that you may have, you

any old hats that you may have, you
should take them to the Nicobar is
lands. There you will be received
with enthusiasm, for the people whe
live in these islands have quite pas
sion for them. Every one likes them,
and every one tries to get as many as
he can. On a fine morning the sea
roundabout these islands may be seen
dotted with canoes in each of which
is a savage, with nothing at all on but
a strip of cloth round his waist and a
tall hat, and the funny part of it is
that old hats are very much more
sought after than new ones. The Nico-
bar natives regard new hats with sus-
picion and dislike.

speech for the dedication of building
that had cost many thousand dollars
devoted to the reformation of bad boys,
he said, "If all this which has been
spent upon this building results in the

well spent" Somebody said to him,
"Mr. Mann. do you think one boy is

fire on them. The whites returned his
fire. about twenty shots being ex-
changed. 1t was miraculous that no
one was killed during the fusilnde. as
n number Of men and women were d.
rectly In the range Of Wright's pistol.
Another negro. who could not be lden-
titled. opened fire from the wing OF the
stage. and bullets whlstled In every
direction.
When the firing ceased 1t was found
that one member Of the company had
been shot In the leg: Clay Hunter had
received n scalp wound and Tommie
Walters. Wint Lewis. Hal Hunter. and
Miss AcLelland had bullet holes In
their clothing.

number quickly climbed the tree and
put a rope over n strong limb which
swept out over the roadway. A moose
was formed and slipped over Wright's
head. Half n hundred pairs Of hands
seized hold Of the other end of the
rope and drew the victim into the air.
Then the rope was wound around the
