After three or four nights Of quiet
and rc%stfulness another alarm was

after we had all been asleep and l &as

Imaginary robbers in the upper air, as
on the former occasion and, Fortunate
ly for me, one of the robbers uttered
a loud and piercing scream which was
heard by the inmates of the house.
[ felt assured that my shot, aimed
as it had been SO high in the air, had
not harmed anybody, and that scream
had resulted from fright or perhaps
was merely q mischievous mockery.

Early the pext morning we all went
out to investigate the situation about

no dead or wounded robbers, We found
blood stains on the grass and leaves,

heads OF decapitated hens I had found

be the blood Of anything else than
that of human hen roost robbers.
From that time forth I was a most
distinguished hero and my praises re-

A Case OF Fertilization.

[ cannot at this moment fix the ex-
act date of an occurrence we'll known
to old citizens Of Henderson County,
but am convinced the time was be-
tween 1885 and 1916. A Miss Byers,
who lived within two miles Of Fletoh-
er, N. c., a station on the Southern
Railway, married 8 man whose name
l cannot recall, and they moved to
Mississippi. After q nhort residence
in the new home the lady died. The
Byers family brooded over the mat
ter Of her burial in g far-of land and
four years later took wagon and team to
bring the remains TO the home bury
ing ground in North Carolina. When
the grave was opened IN Mississippi
the coffin was 80 heavy as to make il
almost impossible to raise it to the
surface. The body was completely
petrifed. Tho return journey was
made in two months. When the By
ers family made known the result of
the trip the whole country turned out
to see the petrifaction and easily re-.
cognized their old friend and acquaint-
snce. Every feature was natural;
there was no question about the ident.
ity of the former Miss Ryers. The
news spread abroad and so many curl
GUS people oame to see for their own
satisfaction the wonder in stone, that
the Byers moved the object (2) to the
cellar aud refused to show it to any
one. Agents from museums or chow.
men tried to purchase or lease it, but
nothing prevailed. After some time
q second daughter died, and later il
was tacitly understood by intimate
friends Of the Byers family that the
petrifed daughters body mad been
secretly lowered into q very deep
vault and probably was covered with
earth before the oasket Of the newly
dead daughter was carried to the grave
and buried in the presence Of thoee

the family feared the body might bo

Crucial Test For towards.

"The Indian has & queer way of
determining whether or not a man is

had some years ago out VEST said a
man who once made an educational
tour of the West. to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. "and the same little
experience convinced me that the In
dams system Of reasoning along this
lire is by no means a bad one.
"Stories had been told which
brought about a clash between the In
dian and the white man. Tie two
men originally had had nothing against
each other. The Indian had q bad
reputation-that is, he had the leru-
tation Of being a bad man, a desper-
ate, dangerous fellow, who would fight
a buzzsaw at the drop of a hat. Hs
was proud of the distinction n
whenever an opportunity arose he was
more than delighted to sustain th>
reputation. The white man, who
blew into the section, had in some
way gained a similar reputation. He
was said TO be a dangerous character
and a man who had never been whip
ped. We concluded that we would
have some fun. We met the Indian
and told him q long story about his
new rival and reminded him that his
laurels were in danger. We told him
ell kinds Of stories about the white
man and succeeded in getting his
pride stirred and his Indisn blood was
soon up TO the lighting point. Soon
after this we met the white man and
we filled him up with the same kind
of talk. He said he would take care
of the Indian all right in duo time
and, in short, woul3. make him take to
the woods. Shortly we met the In
dian again and told him the desperate
white man was after his scalp. He
smiled and shook his head.
IA few days later we wers talking
&c Tie white mau wher the Indian
came up to join the group. He had
spotted the stranger and knew him iby
sight. Without saying q word he
walked up within arms length and
struck the white man in the face with
q rough, heavy glove. He paused q
few seconds and hit him again.
'Ughl' he exclaimed, as he wheeled
around and walked away. The white
man looked at the Indian in amaze
ment, but made no show of resent
ment. Later in the day when we
asked the Indian why it was that be
did not follow up the insult with
blows, he told us the white man was a
coward. In explaining how he knew
it he said the mans Jaw dropped
when he struck him in the face the
second time with the glove, and that
this, with the Indian, was an uufail-
ing sign Of oowardioe, and he Maid
further that he was awfully sorry he
had hit the man at all, for Indians do
not like to impose ON men who, are
afraid to fight. The Indian held his
laurels all right as the most desperate
and most dangerous man in that SEQ
tion Of the West"

WRAY TAYLOR
VISITS BISHOP
RESTARlCK

Wray Taylor, who left Honolulu as
uary 3 last and never returned, lately
called on Bishop Restarick in New
York An account of the visit has been
received by Mrs. Restarick from the
Bishop.
| According to the account of himself
he gave to Bishop Restarick, Taylor
had just returned from England. He
could not tell how he had got to En-
gland, his mind having been a blank
from the time he left San Francisco
until he found himself across the At
lantic. It is said that his father and
one Of his brothers were subject to this
peculiar form OF mental alteration. .e
After 1t became evident here that
Taylor was not coming back, an in
vestigation showed that shortly before
leaving he had drawn $500 from the
Chinese fund. This had been under his
control from his occupancy formerly
of the office of secretary of the Board
of immigration under the Republic of
Hawaii.
Wray Taylor went to San Francisco
ostensibly on business of the old Blu
reau of Agriculture, having leave of
absence from Governor Dole. After his
arrival over there he did transact bust
ness with State Commissioner Craw OF
California. He also called on Prof.
Koebele. Territorial entomologist,. in
Alameda, who, in writing about him,
said Taylor seemed to act strangely
An indictment for embezzlement was
found against Taylor and A. Lindsay
Jr. was dispatched to the mainland to
apprehend and bring him back. Part
ly for lack of funds, the special officer
was recalled. Nothing had been gained
beyond reports that Taylor had been
seen in New York and Boston.

may necessitate the presence of the
squadron at a still greater distance
than Honolulu. The latest of these is
the Panama Canal. We are, of course,
scantily supplied as yet with all the
details of the situation there, but last
accounts agree that the Colombians,
outside of the successful secessionists
officially recognized as the new Re-
public, are by no means reconciled TO
this sudden extinction of all their
hopes. The reports said that they pro-
posed to stir up a formidable opposition
among the disconnected in the South
American Republics and might be sue
cessful in organizing such a movement
South and Central America are always
willing to take n chance in a new
revolution, where the victors grab the
spells, and it is within the bounds of
possibility that some such movement
is contemplated. The movement would,
of course, be directed against the Pa
mama Government, but fortunately the
integrity of that government has now
been guaranteed by the United States,
ana mus IL DeCOiileS IL peculiar care ol
the American Government to suppress
any such manifestation. Naturally a
South American revolution on the
broadcast lines against America would
fail in the end, IL 1t ever arrived at the
stage of organization, but it is well to
be prepared for such contingencies and
easier to nip them in the bud than in
some measure of fruition. Therefore II
is possible that the Washington Gov
eminent may consider a naval demon
stration on South American coasts de-
sirable at this time, with a view to in
spring a wholesome caution in rash
ly belligerent minds.
These are speculations only, but
should be reckoned with in considering
this departure Of the U. S. Asiatic
Squadron from these waters. The date
for its leaving is not settled and even
Yet the present plans of the U. s. Navy
Department may be altered but at any
rate il will be hoped socially that the
leaving date will be postponed as long
as possible. From Rear-Admirals Evans
and Cooper down the line, the officers
and men of the American fleet have
made many warm friends in Japan.

Contented Hawaii.

Hawaii, our island protege in the Pa
cific, has new governor in the per-
son of the Hon. George r. Carter. Gov.
Sanford B. Dole, so long and ably
identified with the affairs of Hawaii
under successive regimes, has been
transferred by President Roosevelt to
the important office of Federal judge.
Under the old monarchy, Mr.. Dole was
the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
and he left the bench to take charge of
the provisional government and served
as president of the temporary Hawai-
ian republic. Mr.. Carter, the new gov
ernor, is the son of the well known
Henry A. p. Carter who was so long
Hawaiian minister at Washington in
the old days. Governor Carter Is n
His early education was in Hawaii, but
his college course was at Yale, where
he graduated in 1883. He was a foot
ball man and an all-round athlete in
his college period. For n number of
years past he has been very active in
Hawaiian politics and in large business
affairs. Governor Dole's annual re-
port, extracts of which were published
in the newspapers last month, contains
many interesting observations. The
white population shows tendency to
relative decline, and there is much in
termarriage of the native Hawaiians
with members of the various other
races living in the islands. There is an
increase in the production and export
of sugar, while the coffee and rice
crops hold their own fairly well.-Re-
