The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-06-07

From Linpincott's.

Two youngsters in dirty lavalavas
come and sit on the veranda, waiting
until the trader finishes his breakfast.
They keep up a constant chatter, as
children do the world around; they
explain to one another out of their
ignorance what the white man does
with all the strange gear about his
room. Time is no object to them; not
for any Samoan does time exist. They
could be content thus waiting for
hours. When the trader has finished
his corned beef or his salmon, when
he has chopped the navy plug on the
corner of the table, and has broken
it fine for his pipe by grinding it
in his left palm with the ball of his
right thumb, when his pipe is alight,
ne is willing to traffic with his small
customers. Take this as a sample of
native speech and native custom:
What is it. then, that you two
want" he asks in the native speech,
that you sit on my portico begin
ming at sunrise and ending at all
day."
20 Apa, it is thus, and we two
will declare the truth to Thy High
ness"
Use not the high sounding words
of the talk of chiefs; call me not
EXcellency nor yet Highness, for by
that I know you two are come to
beg. That thing do you two tell what
you want, and quickly"
20 kpa, smooth out the wrinkles
from thy heart, but listen. In the in
significant hut of the family of us two
there is tobacco, and we two have
plucked the dry leaves of the banana.
But there is not fire. That thing have
we two come to ask of Thy Excel
lency, afford to us two the fire scratch
er, just one box. for great is the pow
erty of the family of us two"
20 PAy- faced, it is the lie, and you
two ctAle to beg. it, is true. 1t is
right that you two buy fire-scratc h-
ers; l do not give away the articles
of wealth. lest 1 too become poor
while you two have all things"
Thou knowest. O Apa, the great
poverty of all this Samoa, and that
we two are poor people and of no
account. We have not wherewith to
buy. But because great is the love
of us two to Thy EXcellency we two
give to thee the loving gift of the
fruit of the hen, one"
Not so is it true, Dirt and Pigs.
If you two love me. you give me fruit
of the hen, two. Give them now to
me and my black-boy thing shall look
through them at the sun, and he shall
spin them on this floor. and he shall
float them in water lest they be bad"
20 Apa, thou art wise to drive a
hard bargain and Samoans are fool
ish Here then are these two fruits
of the hen; now give to us two the
box Of fire sCratcherS."

terson, giving his address as Chicago,
and better known in the West as
Bat" Msterson; James c. Sullivan of

that information had been received

ern gamblers, who have recently be en-
operating in Chicago, Cincinnati and
Philadelphia, had come to this city,
but nothing definite connecting ne
men arrested to-day with this infor-
nation was given out. The men we're
arrested, according to the police ac-
count, at boarding house up town,
where a faro Layout" and a quantity
of alleged marked cards were seized.
Masterson denies any connection
with any gamblers, and says he and
Sullivan came to this city for the pur-
pose of taking passage to England.
BAT" Masterson is a well-knOwn
character in the West and was at
one time United States marshal in Col
orado. Sullivan is said to be a horse
owner of some repute in oregon.

Knoxville, Tenn, June ga special
to the Journal and Tribune from Bris-
tol, Tenn, says:
The miners in the Wise county, Vir-
ginia, coal mining region will likely be
included in the strike ordered to be in
auSuIated tomorrow. If the strike be-
comes general it may be a course of
great worry to manufacturing inter-
ests. The Virginia Irons Coal and
Coke Company Is the largest
individual factor now operating in the
Virginia coal fields. A general strike
might result in forcing this company
to shut down every one of nine iron
furnaces now in operation. Such a
suspension would throw hundreds out
of employment.

WHAT Mr.. o. A. CLEFT SAYS.

A few months ago Mr.. o. A. Cliett
of Powersville, one of the most exten.
sive fruit growers in Georgia, said:
More than six years ago 1 suffered
terribly of dyspepsia. 1 could not find
anything to relieve me for any length
of time. l was restless. nervous, could
not sleep, all 1 ate disagreed with me.
In warm weather this ailment was a
greater source of annoyance. 1 cured
the dyspepsia by taking Graybeard. AT
the time 1 gave a testimonial to that
effect. Now, six years later 1 want
to renew that testimonial and add that
have not passed a sick day from this
cause since. 1 have not been compelled
to take any more medicine for dyspep-
STA, because l have not been troubled
with it since. 1 am in better health.
and feel better every way, and l want
TO say that 1 attribute it all to Gray
beard"

WHAT Mr.. MARTIN SAYS.

Mr.. w. c. Martin of Lenox. LowndeS
county, who went from near Valdosta,
was for years and years afflicted with
both rheumatism and eczema. He could
not afford to lose time, and in his ca
gerness to get rid of these ailments
took almost everything which is sold
over the counter of drug stores A
great many of the preparations bene
flied him some, but the ailments always
returned. In spring and summer these
ailments were worse. Finally he got
hold of Graybeard and it cured him.
He was so delighted with the medicine
that he told his friends far and near Of
it and said: II would not take $500
for the benefit derived from few bot
ties of Graybeard. 1 was afflicted with
rheumatism and had a touch of ecze-
ma, and was broken down generally,
and Graybeard restored me to health.

Intended Going to Dallas Reunion,
But Bad Cold Prevented.

Wheeler, in a letter to a friend in this
city, explains his failure to attend the
recent Confederate reunion at Dallas.
He says:
1T was very kind in you to say what
you did in reply to the very unjust
article which was published

the Dallas reunion. There Ger
tainly was no justification
even if 1 had determined not to go,
but in fact l did intend to go and
went as far as Washington, but when
l reached that city my cold was so bad
that it would have been very impru-
dent to have continued the Journey"

WHAT CAPT. WILLIS SAYS.

y Capt. Willis is a prominent cigar
dealer in Atlanta. His statement is
that every spring he was annoyed by
fostering and troublesome sores on his
hands. He applied local applications
all of which benefited him, but they
were not permanent. Said he: after
using everything I could think of
began to take Graybeard. Less than
two bottle stopped the sores and gave
me just splendid health. 1t is the
greatest medicine 1 ever saw"
In spring bad blood manifests itself
in skin eruptions, in itch sores, in
rheumatism, and general breaking
down.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and even
dyspepsia all come from it.
Graybeard is a superb remedy for
these ailments, and now is the time to
take it to stop them.
1t is worth $100 a bottle at drug
stores; bottles $500.
Graybeard Pills are little treasures.
You should have box of the pills, 25c.
