True Stories of Two women WI"

A woman who would consult her

really occurred the other day. The
woman in question belongs 10 that
class in which reticence is quality
almost unknown. and in which argu-

edged tenders. Think of the poor
man clinging to life and cherishing
hope that he would get better. and be-

Especial California letter.

" lived together in close proxim-
ity for may years in peace and
harmony, it is equally true that IN
many other cases there has been
great deal of quarreling and fighting.
With primitive people as well as with
those who are more advanced IN CIVIL
cation it is very true that tiny spark
will often kindle a great flame. n dead
ly insult has often been read into a
few insignificant words. The refusal
of the hand of maiden in marriage
has often provoked war. Hundreds,
nay, thousands, of lives have been lost
in disputes over tiny strips OF territory
that were practically barren and value
less. Whole villages have been often
DESTROYED because of fancied insults
offered to the gods.
The secret of the enmity between the
tribes that for centuries inha the
mountains of what is now San Diego,
Cal, and the Iumas, who dwell on the
Colorado river. l have never been able
to learn. Both people were wariike,
proud and brave. The former were
supreme in the mountains, the latter In
the desert and by the river. Again and
again conflicts took place between
them. Sometimes the Iumas roamed
too far over the desert to the east OF
the great river. and despite all their
precautions they were swooped down
upon by the mountain tribes and
driven back with great loss of life. AT
other times the San Diegans would APP
proach too near the river, and they in
turn would suffer defeat.
In the neighborhood of 40 years ago
the Yumas had been particularly ag-
gressive and had severely punished the
San Diegans on several successive occa-
sions. This aroused the national pride
Of the mountain tribes and they gath

Conversation.

When two years old Ben was noted
for intelligence and industry. One of
the herders remarked of him, one day,
that he could do anything except talk.
Moss became indignant.
Anything except talk!" he retort-
ed. He can talk. Why, we do lot
of talking on the prairie. He talks with
his eyes, with his ears, with his tail,
sometimes with his mouth"
The others laughed at this, but it
was true. The man and the dog, in
the hours of watching the sheep graz
ing, held lengthy conversations, Moss
sitting with his back against a big
gray rock, Ben with his head upon the
mans knees.

would ask.

out to the poor little Indian orphan.
The couple agreed to adopt her al
their own. 1t was not long before the
little one responded fully to the love
that was so generously given her, and
she came to regard herself as the
daughter of the white man and woman
Years passed by. The little girl
grew up to womanhood- She had been
educated as became the daughter of a
well-to-do citizen and was respected,
honored and loved by all who knew her.
Several children were born to the
couple, and as these grew up they were
taught to regard the Indian girl as
their own sister.
There is no doubt that had the In
dian girl desired to remain she might
have married some white man and be-
living to-day, honored and respected,
in or near the home of her adopted
parents. But, yielding TO that mysteri-
Gus impulse that renders us incapable
of denying our parentage, she felt an
uncomfortable instinct or desire to
return to her own people and become
one of them. In vain her foster BROTH
ers and sisters pleaded with her. Sor-
rowfully, but nevertheless with deter
mination, she decided to cross the des-
ert and GO back to the place of her
birth. When she arrived among the
Yumas they received her with suspi-
cion. She did not know single word
of their language, but so powerful did
instinct work that, with very little diff
ficulty, she won her way into their
hearts and soon was able to speak her
native tongue as if she had never
known any other. In short time she
married, and children were born to
her. Her husband, full-blooded Yu-
ma, has always regarded her as SUI
perior being, and throughout the tribe
her opinions are largely deferred to.
While she lived with the whites she
was known by the name OF Maggie.
When she went back to her people she
told the whites who came in contact
with her that her name was Maggie
Scott. When asked her why she as
sumed the name of Scott she replied:
"While 1 was in San Diego I read ,
great many novels, but there were
none that pleased me SO much as those

DUCHESS IN SLUMS.
Her Grace of Newcasf1e Lives In
Whitechapel, the Most DeErad-
ed Part of London.

The rich and handsome dowager
duchess of Newcastle, who lives by
preference in Whitechapel, London's
worst slum, has at last consented to
tell the story of her slum life. She's
not intellectual, at least she says she
isn't, but she tells good story of
her home in Whitechapel in the cur
rent number of the Pail Mall maya
zine, and, furthermore, she has given
us a few pleasant opportunities to
see how she lives. Her grace says
among other things that she thinks
there is more morality on the White
chapel side of London than In the
West end. She says she never be-
gan to know the value of money I'M
til she moved from Mayfair. She
thinks it would do society good II

the poor, the duchess was thought OF
merely as beautiful and rich won-
an. Ten years of Whitechapel life
have shaken her up considerably. and
the English have begun to take her
seriously.
While Miss Adams is student OF

pie to go 10 mass. She visits the sick

was as big as he is now. From this
fact, and from the observed rate of
growth of younger tortoises, it is in
ferred that he is more than 200 years
old.
A century ago these big tortoises
were common on ell the Galapagos,
SEYCHELLES and Mascovene islands in
the Indian ocean, but they were hunted
and slaughtered ruthlessly until only
few are left. These remnants now
enjoy governmental protection, but it
has come too late to save the race,

Adams, far removed as her life is
from Journalism.
But tine two are in some ways alike.
The duchess is much older than Miss
Adams, although she looks nearer
20 than 60. In expression, these
women resemble each other closely.
They seem to have absorbed the same
calming influences from their contact
with the slums. In fresh coloring
they are alike and in full figure,
while / was struck by their similar
ity of taste in dress. The last time
/ saw Miss Addams she wore a Sc
verely plain tailor-made gown, from
which the duchess might easily have
copied the dress she has had on
every time 1 have met her. The Eng
lishwoman and the American are
both simple of manner and gentle
voiced. Each is fired by the same mo-
tive-an overwhelming sympathy for
the worlds under dog.
The dowager duchess of Newcastle
has been twice married. Her second
husband. a musician and a man with
out a title, died before her grace
went into philanthropy. She kept
her title by courtesy. It's a title. by
the way, that May Yohe might one
day have had If she had stuck by
Lord Francis Hope. For Lord Francis
is heir to the present duke of New
castle and is the younger son of the
woman who looks like Jane Adams.
Journalism is q fad with most Of
the Newcastlers. The little lame
duke is high church Anglican, al.
most q Roman Catholic. like his
mother, who left the English church
to 20 to Rome. The chapel attached
to Clumber, the family place in the
north of England. is the finest private
place of worship in England, but the
uninitiated would think it Roman
Catholic, not Anglican. The duke has
some democratic tendencies. For in
stance, he taught his little nephew's
xoverness to ride the bicycle, ano
trotted along beside her day by day

nil, moreover, was neither young mol

least generation or more. Again, for
days. the warriors assembled around
the dance fire, where the chiefs ex-
horted them to brave and heroic deeds
and the women melted them to acts OF
valor. When the time came for the
march they stole as cautiously as pos
sible across the desert, and, on nearing
the main camp of the Yumas, sent out
their scouts ahead to determine how
and when the great attack should be
made. Fortunately for them the Yumas
were in the worst possible condition
for the encounter. Their hunters had

and all. were SO gorged to repletion as
to be unable to fight. After full con-
sultation it was decided to steal upon
them at night and fight at close quar-
tiers with battle hammer, battle ak,
dagger of sharp deer's horn, and the
few steel weapons they had obtained
from the white man.
Stealthily they crept upon their un-
suspecting foes. The latter had not
only eaten to excess, but many of them
were stupefied with drink they made
from the root of a bush called mo-
mump. The root of this is sometimes
taken and chewed. For few hours it
produces an exhilarating effect, some
what similar to that produced by
hasheesh. Then the victim succumbs
to a deadly stupor from which it takes
him several days to recover.
1t can we'll be imagined what con-
dition the Yumas were in to receive
their foes. The San Diegans fell upon
them and slew quite number without

victory, after scalping their dead foes.

women I have never yet been able to

case, they became wives of their cap

members of different tribe, but with
the little girl it was different. She had

LEGEND FROM CHINA.
1t Tells How . Beautiful But n ha ply
Princess Was Changed Into
tAe First Cocoon.

Once upon a time there was king
who had no sons, but one daughter.
1t was a great disappointment not to
have a son, but those who cast the
horoscope of the daughter told him
that his daughter would be great
blessing to the kingdom while she
lived, and at her death would bequeath
untold riches. As this story was wide
ly known the princess had many adj
mirers who sought betrothal with her.
And the king was greatly distressed
as to choice of the right one. When
she was grown she was very beautiful
so beautiful that myriads Of pill
grims came to the temple to beg for
the gift of beauty and to burn incense.
This brought prosperity, and thus the
prophecy of her birth was fulfilled.
But the king could no longer delay the
betrothal of his daughter, as so many
princes desired her that the kingdom
was continually in trouble with other
kingdoms. One day the princess IA
Their was out hunting, when power
full king surprised him and carried him
away captive to far-away kingdom.
The prime minister and privy coun-
cilors met and issued an edict saying
the hand of the princess would be
piyen to the man who rescued the
king.
High up among the clouds was
demigod who loved the princess, but
sine, she was a mortal woman could
not we'd her, but when this trouble
came he entered the body OF the
kings favorite horse, which broke
away from the grooms, went straight
to the king and brought him back.
But the prime minister. being horri-
fed when the horse brought back the
king. ordered the horse to be killed at
once. But the king who had carried
away the father of the princess was
very powerful, and came again and
again against the king. And it was
finally decided by the king and his
councillors that it was best to betroth

cess protested. but her protestations

When the hour came for the wedding
she resisted. weeping, struggling val
;antly with her attendants. A servant,
hearing the outcry. came into the
courtyard dragging with him the skin
Of a horse, which he was about to cut
into strings. But the soul OF the demi-
God lover in the skin of the horse
awoke and he wrapped the skin
around the princess and she became
