One OF Atlanta's most prominent
bankers has a young son who has al
ready developed surprising faculty
for business.
His father gave him IS. and instead
Of spending 1t he handed 1t back to his
father to deposit for him in order that
he might draw the interest.
A few days later. however, the
youngster saw something he wanted
more than he did the interest. 80 asked
his father to please return the money.
This the banker refused to do. ex-
planning that the son had no note for
the money. and unless he could prove
IN black and white that the money had
been handed him the IS was his.
The youthful financier looked both
puzzled and unhappy, then his counte-
nance cleared. He called the colored
butler.
John, did you see me give father IS
the other dayY
He was answered In the affirmative.
Then he put the same question to his
grandmother.
When she, too. said yes, young Ma
chiavelli turned to his father trfum-
phantly:
There. father, have 1t In black and
white"
Needless to add, he got the money

HOW THE INDIANS VOTE.
They Arc Very Deliberate and Thcn
Have IA Simple Method.

The ChicknsNw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way tho
white man does 1t. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chiekasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarrled
citizens have tho right Of suffrage.
They go Off TO themselves and have Il
powwow. They decide for whom they
VIII vote after considering tho matter
for twenty four hours.
The polling place Is quite unlike that
OF the white man. There Is great
sheet of paper, white. yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet of paper are
vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled OF with pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet of paper are
placed the names OF all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down TO
precinct officers. At the top of tho
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that Will be required for the names OF
tho voters. The Judges of election sit
by and pass on those entitled to vote
and there IL n certainty that no Illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian Is thoroughly deliberate.
Ho takes his time when It comes to
voting. He proceeds TO the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he IL ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records It on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names OF the can
didates for governor. Tho voter delib-
crates awhile, calls out the namo Of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote Is recorded. and the
names of the candidates for the next
office arc called out. and 10 on through
tho list, TIL all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus It is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
his ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions ana no quarrels over
differences OF opinion.

"The Kanakas of the Hawaiian Is

waters as we have Of one-month-old

who recently returned from the Aslatic
station by way of the islands, zone
morning couple of months ago, when
our ship was lying in Honolulu hnrbor.
a big banana barge, propelled by three
muscular, fine looking, nearly nude
Kanakas, pulled alongside of us to
peddle the fruit among the men for
ward. Just as they got the barge close
to the ship the three Hanakas began TO
language and TO feel OF the edges of
tho knives suspended by lanyards
around their necks.
"rhe eyes of those Kanakas were
kecner than ours, and they had seen n
big shark asleep directly beneath the
lighter, the water being 30 clear down
that way that objects can be seen
through 1t TO Il great depth. 1t didn't
take those three giant muscled Kama
out of their few clothes. Then they
removed the strings from their long
knives, grnsped the knives In their
right hands, stepped gently over the
sldo of tho lighter, hung to tho gun
wales of tho lighter with their left
hands for moment or So and then,
altogether, they gave that queer diving

surface. We couldn't see them going
down on account of the commotion
and consequent bubbles they made In
the water.
within about ten seconds after they
disappeared the bubbles that came to
tho surface began to take on the hue
of blood
"'That about settles one Kanaka, Il
not the whole three of them said we
on the gangway. Tho next thing we
saw was gigantic shark thrashing
tho water crazlly on tho port side of
tho lighter and incarnadInlng tho sea

blood. Then tho three Kanakas came
up, all In bunch, like trio of Jacks
in-the.box, with contentcd smiles on
their faces. Tho shark thrashed around
for five or ten minutes. and at the end
of that time he was as dead as any
salted mackerel IN n barrel, the entire
length of him. The three Kanakas had
tackled him altogether as he slept, had
driven their knives into his vulnerable

pull himself together he was as good
