A graduate OF Oxford university gave up
all his prospects in life some years ago to
become a social worker among the poor of
the East End OF London. In order to get an
Idea OF what it felt like to be really poor,
he lived for six days on IL cents. eating
nothing more than one tiny 2-cent loaf
each day. As a result, he nearly starved
and was i'll for a week afterwards.
ut would not have been very
trying" he said, "if I had not
seen food all round me-in the
bakers shops, in the restaurants, in
the butchers and in the grecn-grocers'

watching the people go into the restaurants
for lunch and wondering what they we're
going to eat.

II a maj spoke to me l trembled and could

pluck were gone"
After this experience the graduate in the
school OF starvation took keen interest in
discovering the sensations OF other men
who had gene hungry. He met many OF
them in the course OF his philanthropic
work, and he discovered that in no two
cases were their emotions alike.
starvation" he was fond Of saying, sis
a mental rather than a physical pain. Its
principal terrors are connected with the
mind and the imagination. The educated
and refined man, he who has seen better
days, is the man who suffers most when he
goes short Of food. The sunerings Of a
starving ma0sare really a matter of tem-
permanent. " he has not a highly-strung

- sessions in the West Indies, lis
the paradise OF the Hindoo c%oolle."
And there, too" added one OF his hear
ers, those same Orienta,s have created an
atmosphere that fairly reeks with romance"
The American or European who has spent
sufficient time in Jamaica or Trinidad to
become acquainted with the ways of the
thousands of Hindoo laborers on the plan
tations and the coolie tradesmen in the
towns invariably makes the same asser-
tions. To prove the first, he usually quotes
the case Of Ram Sal, and, as evidence Of
the latter, he tells the story OF a rajah's
son who turned coolie for loves sake.
Thirty years ago a Hindoo of low caste,
Ram Sal by name, living in a plateau town
Of India, found himself inextrisably in debt
to a bunnla-a usurious money lender. He
had been bound in his boyhood for the debt
Of his grandfather, and, after working for
nearly twenty years to clear it, he learned
to his distress that, instead OF becoming
smaller the obligation had steadily in
creased through all the years. owing to his
Insignificant pay OF scarcely 2 pennies a
day and the excessive rate of interest.
Ram Sal saw starvation staring himself
and his family in the face, and so, when
an European, coming to the village, told
OF a place across the BLACK water" where
a Hindoo could earn as much as % cents a
day and after binding himself to work for
eight years on a plantation, would be freed
OF both his contract and his debt, Ram Sal
straightway prepared to follow the coolie
contractor whittier he led and the bunnIa
commanded.
The ship that Ram Sal and his family
were huddled on bore them in course of
time to Trinidad, and there, by the terms
of the contract, Ram Sal was given quar-
tiers In a long, low coolie barracks, from
which he went out In the mornings to toll
until shutdown in the coffee and sugar fields,
the banana, orange and spice groves.
Thus he worked for six years, the planter
In the meantime feeding him on rice and
clothing him, and the agent OF the bunnIa
seeing to 1t that until every cent of Rams
indebtedness was paid not a cent of his
hire reached his pocket, but was turned
over instead to the agent by Rams en-
plOyer.
At the end OF the sixth year Ram Sal felt
the Jingle OF coin In his hands for the first
time, for the debt Of a few rupees that his
grandfather had contracted when he took
Rams grandmother to wife was wiped out.
TIL ring Of the coins stirred up a strange
desire in the coolies heart-it awakened
his ambition. and he vowed then and there
that he would be rich some day and a
planter himself.
To that goal, during the remaining two
Omaha daily bee., 1903-05-03

he had seen on the streets Of his fathers
capital that he laid aside all thoughts of
his own high caste and her equally low
condition and proceeded to WOO her. Every
thing went well with the lovers for weeks
until one of the princes retinue, spying on
him, found him keeping a tryst with the
girl. The rajah was promptly informed and,
enraged at his heirs loss Of caste, deter
mined to wipe out the disgrace that the son
had brought upon himself and his family.
With the craftiness of the Oriental the
old rajah received his son with all the af-
lection of a devoted parent until he discov-
cred, through spies, the next meeting place
of the lovers. Then, as they were seated in
a secluded pagoda, a band Of the palace
guards burst suddenly in upon them, and
without warning slew the maiden and then
turned upon the prince. But the latter was
too quick for the soldiers. SEEKING his
sword, he managed to cut his way clear and,
knowing every idiosyncrasy Of the palace
and grounds, escaped into the city, where
he hid.
During the weeks that energetic search
was made for him he kept himself under
cover, and not until the efforts of his
father relaxed did he dare crawl far from
his hiding place. Even then he was in great
danger, and, realizing that he could not
hope to remain in his fathers realm, he de-
cided to get as far away as possible. This
he did by Disgusting and presenting him
self to the nearest coolie contractor, and a
few weeks later he was on his way to
Jamaica.
He had worked as a common field la
borer for five years before his story acct
dentally became known. Over a certain
number Of coolies another coolie is usually
placed as overseer. One day the rajah's
son and his overseer disagreed over a
piece Of work, and the latter was on the
the plantations superintendent, a young
Scotsman, interfered.
The gratitude of the laborer was un-
bounded. For once he lost his Oriental
stoicism and tears came into his eyes as he
said:
master, you have saved me from a great
disgrace"
Tho superintendent's curiosity was
aroused, and although the Hindoo endeav-
ored to stink away, he was pressed SO hard
that he finally explained his remark.
you have saved me from a great dis
grace" he said. II, a rajah's son, to be
struck by a Hindoo Of low ~caste!"
Then the whole story, which the Scots
man verified later on, came out. The hero
Of it is still employed on an interior planta-
ton in jamaica.

woman is typical of the countless romances

ably he can starve. Some laborers who
nearly died Of exposure and lack of food
have told me that they hardly suffered at
all They soon drifted into a semi-con-
scious state, which dulled their physical
pain, and they had not sufficient intelli-
gence to substitute the psngs OF the mag
nation"
A direct negative to this theory is given
by a professor OF an Australian university
who narrowly escaped dying Of starvation
during an expedition into tie desert coun-
try of Central Australia.
Il am sure" he said, that felt the
pangs of hunger much less keenly thar my
black crackers and servants did. 1 had
heard they could go for long periods with
out food, but the second day we put our
selves on short commons they complained
bitterly and appeared to be in extreme
pain. At that time l suffered nothing, nor
did l suffer until some days afterward.
Indeed, although two or three OF my men
were almost dead from lack OF food by the
time we reached the nearest settlement, I
really suffered very little. The only UNI
pleasant sensations I can recall were occa-
sional bad headaches, slight pains in the
stomach, and now and then a feeling OF
faintness. At other times 1 felt excep-
tionally strong, although l had eaten hardly
a scrap OF food for days.
IF l were to judge by my own feelings,
l should say that the agonies of starvation
are much exaggerated. But the sufferings
OF my men were terrible enough. l asked
one Of them how he felt, when he was lying
on the ground one evening too weak to

OF a plateau village OF India. In the same
town Ram Singh lived, and Ram was en-
gagged to marry Iboran when he could se-
cure rupees enough to make the wedding
festivities. To that end he went to work
for an Englishman In a distant town. Two
years later he returned to his own village
with the money, only to find that Chundar
Lal and his daughter had followed a coolie
contractor across the BLACK water
Ram Singh was in despair. To his ques-
ton as to where Iboran had gone no one
could definitely answer him, not even the
contractors, who had sent the girl along
with hundreds Of others to the seacoast
to be shipped to any one of a half dozen
places-Fiji, Natal, Trinidad, Jamaica, Brit
ish Guiana, Montserrat.
Ram Singh vowed that great as was the
task before him he would find Iboran and
marry her. There was but one way to do
that. She had become a c%oolie; he must
become a coolie also.
Perhaps she has been sent to Fiji" the
contractors told him. So Ram Singh in
dcntured himself for a term of six years as
a coolie on a Fiji plantation.
Arrived there he set about hunting for
Iboran when he was not required to be in
the fields. But his search was in vain
she was not in Fiji.
For six years Ram Singh worked and
waited. Then maybe she is In Natal" the
plantation owner, who knew his story, told
him. And straightway Ram Singh bound
himself fer a term of six years to a Natal
planter.
Again it was six years wasted, six years
OF working and waiting. But on the day
that his contract was ended Ram Singh
signed away his liberty for a term of six
years and was taken in a coolie ship to
Trinidad.
Here he got his first ray Of hope. One
day as he was about his search, he ran
across 4 man who had Eeen a neighbor of
Chundar Lal, Iboran's father, and he told
Ram Singh that Iboran, mourning for her
lover. whom she never expected to see
again, had gone with her father from India
to Jamaica.
That was enough - cause the years
necessary to his release to pass swiftly for
Ram Singh, and then, with the money that
he had saved, he took passage to Jamaica
aud began his search with renewed heart.
1t was in an interior village that Iboran
was found, still unmarried, still true to the
memory of her lover. At first she would
not believe that Ram Singh was other than
a ghost, but when he had convinced her and
told of his worldwide search for her, the
wedding festivities were straightway
planned.
Today Ram Singh and his wife, Iboran,
the daughter of Chundar Lal. are living
back of their little silversmith shop in the
town where five years ago Ram Singh found
his sweetheart.
