A Fiiian Chiefs Rebuke.

A frivolous visitor to the Fiji islands
said to a Fijian chief: ut is really a
pity you have been so foolish as to lis
ten to these missionaries. No one now
adays believes in the Bible"
The chiefs eyes flashed as he said:
"Do you see that stone? There we
killed our victims. Do you see that
oven? There we roasted their bodies
for our feasts. If it hadn't been for
the missionaries and the Bible you
would have met the same fate"

One of the most remarkable pieces Of
nature sculpture in California is the
George Washington rock about thirty
five miles northwest of Los Angeles, in
the Santa susanna mountains, says the
Sunset Magazine. 4 chiseled monu-
ment could hardly bear truer likeness
to George Washington than this chance
picture in the ragged contour of huge
bowlder. Viewed from one point, and
only one, it stands out sharp and dis
tinct against the sky. From all other
points the rock is a shapeless mass.
The image measures full twenty-five
feet from chin to brow and is close to
the top of the hill. In the vicinity have
been found Indian relics-ovens, stones
containing Indian writings, arrow
heads, mortars- and many traces Of a
settlement Of aborigines.

A good-natured young fellow was at
a rustic picnic, and rashly spoke to
young lady without the formality of
an introduction. He happened to see
fat caterpillar crawling on her collar,

But the young lady waved him off

Asks to Be PardOned for
Killing His BenefaCtOr

in the vicinity Of the crime when Lney
saw coming toward them a man WheelE

some miscellaneous articles of wearing
apparel. He answered completely the

Upon questioning him they noticed that

reason, exactly certain that he was thu
man they wanted. :
He was taken to the station and a.
brother Of the murdered man was
summoned. He had seen this man.
Nicholas XII, with his brother, and
though 1t was at distance, he was
certain that the prisoner was the man.
AS he looked at the fellow more closely
he suddenly exclaimed:
why, those are Jacobs boots that
! he is wearing!" This caused no small
degree of CONSERVATION and then tho
other articles and the trunk were ex-
amined. They were found to be the
property Of the murdered man. The
assassin was even then wearing Kohn's
WATCH and 1t was presumed that the
money they found in his pocket came
from the same source. He stoutly de-
MED the deed, denied the ownership Of
the clothes, denied everything.
A medical examination was made and
he was pronounced to be insane and
sent to Rochester for an indefinite term.
No one ever knew who he was, where
he came from or anything else about
him. All he would tell was that his
name was Nicholas XIII.
A few years later he was pronounced
cured and when brought before the jury
was found guilty of murder and sem
fenced to Saltwater for life.
This is the man who murdered his
benefactor and who will ask the par
don board at its next meeting for q
pardon.

Life Has Its Troubles
Even in the Pest House

at the st. Paul pest house. Light, nour-
ishing foods are prescribed in the early
stages Of the disease, and this course
is only departed from when all marks
of the disease have been removed. Milk
enters largely into the diet prescribed,
and it is used in such large quantities
that the weekly bill for the tactical fluid
furnished is one of the largest items Of
expense of the health department.
While an enforced term at any pest
house is not exactly to be desired those

haps the worst feature Of the whole
thing, but during the period of incuba-

tients are supplied with everything that
will tend to relieve the monotony.
For the male patients cards, smoking
tobacco and good literature are sup

should there be any, amusements that

SALE OF FLOWERS
BREAKS RECORD
Florists Stock of Easter
Lilies and Other Bios
SONS Exhausted.

Never before IN St. Paul were sales
Of Easter flowers SO heavy as yester-
day. In nearly ever case the florists
expressed themselves, long before the
day was done, as practically sold out.
For days before extra help was secured
and hard at work preparing the bloom
for the hurried exchange that always
marks the Easter season.
When seen last evening L. L. May
said: We're all sold out. Practically
everything is gone, and in many lines
We were short at o'clock in the after
noon. OF course, the weather all along
base been unfavorable for the trade and
this has much to do with the shortage.
One thing 1 noticed was greatly in
creased demand for palms. Never be-
fore have we sold so many. And I think
the churches decorated more than ever,
for snilaX and such stuff as that was
all practically gone last night.
Many flowers were introduced this
season. One carnation, the Enchan-
tress, created quite a little furore In
flower circles. This blossom was orig
mated and is sold by only one man in
the trade. He is a florist of Joliet, Ill.
1t Is very light pink, what is known
as "daybreak" color. The President
Roosevelt, very deep, dark red, with
stems from three to four feet in length
is another"
Holm q OlSOn-We have never seen
such a trade. The novelty and fancy
basket trade is exceptionally good, in
fact, the whole trade has been splendid,
but this basket side of the matter is
something of which people seemed to
have heretofore been rather wary. Our
cut-fower stock is entirely cleaned up,
and the lilacs, of course, went with
them. Oh, yes, of course, the outflow
er trade is always the largest. In that
+ line the carnation sales today were the
largest we ever had.

as the best sale day we've ever had.
Early in the day we stopped trying to
keep track Of the sales. 1t takes US all
our time to keep the deliveries clear,
and we will be busy at that until far in
the night.
All the department stores were
crowded. Cards, novelties, hats, bon
nets, toys and such matters had the
preference, but splendid sales in all de-
partments were reported. One mer-
chant in an interview said:
"Of course wouldn't like you to say
I said this, but I consider that such
prosperous times were never seen In
the Northwest before. It's something
wonderful. Every one seems to have
money, and, what is the best of it, they

HaYe you ever noticed the aversion
of the man with a pitted face to olive
oil? He probably met your tender Of
the long-necked bottle with a remark
that was hardly complimentary.
Well, he has a good reason for his
aversion, and if you had been bathed
in the Shiny, sticky mixture daily for
six days probably you could sympathiZe
with him.
Olive oil, be it known, has other uses
than that Of an adjunct to the COM
FOUNDER of salad mixtures, and it IS the
unfortunate that has been hurried to
the confines of a smallpox detention
hospital that knows it. Daily during
the prevalence Of the unsightly blotches
that make the disease such q horror,
the smallpox patient has seen it, felt 1t
and smelled it, and his aversion ever
after can only be natural.
Every smallpox patient taken to the
st. Paul detention hospi Val on Dale
street must take an olive oil bath, not
only on his entrance, but daily until
every mark of the disease has disap-
peared. 1t prevents pitting, caused by
the in 'ense desire to scratch, and if he
is sens bile, he will enter no protest, but
submit without murmur.
Whel. a smallpox victim has been Sc
