at home in districts through which he
has journeyed only once before. no
matter how hastily he may have pass
ed through them.
They are also almost as sharp as
animals in finding and following a
trail.
Thus he led a party of negro scouts
one morning. Just after daybreak
they came upon trail that was so
fresh that the Europeans in the party
were confident that the enemy had
passed that way only few moments
before But the negro scouts declared
without hesitation that the trail had
bene made before dawn; and when
they were questioned, they pointed out
that there was dew on the bent
grasses and leaves showing that the
trail had been left long enough for dew
to be deposited on it again.
Another time they found trails lead
ing from a water hole. AS the foot
prints were quite dry, the European
scouts argued that a considerable
length of time had elapsed since the
trail had been made. because there
had been time enough for the sun to
dry the moisture. But the negroes
felt of the foot prints and announced
that the trail was quite fresh. When
the white men said to them, But the
from the foot prints" the natives said,
yes. But the sun has not had time to
dry the moisture out of the earth.
The spoor is not an hour old" And
this turned out to be correct
The savages are extremely insen-
sible to outward pain. Thus they suf-
fer serious wounds with remarkable
stolidity and they will go without
food for days If the warfare demands
it. But sickness and other internal
troubles will terribly the negroes inn
mediately so that they lose all heart
at once.
A great obstacle to the white men,
and corresponding help to the saw
ages, are the thorny bushes that flour
ish everywhere.
The negroes are adopts at wriggling
through them while the white SOL
diers can hardly approach them with
out being caught.
The thorns are often three and four
inches long, and there are dozens of
them on every twig, each pointing in
a different direction. Only the most
skillful of scouts can wriggle his way
through a thorny bush that is fairly
dense. An inexperienced man who
tries it will escape only with loss of
all his clothes and with painful and
deep slashes and tears over his whole
body.
A really dense thorn bush. say the
Africans. is too dense even for a
snake. 1t is certainly true that snakes
are often found dead in such bushes,
having been caught by the trap of
thorns as they tried to crawl through.
The negroes crawl into the bushes,
and though they may lie only a few
feet away from the road, the soldiers
who pass are entirely powerless to get
at them except with bullets. They
cannot charge and drive the enemy
away.

Jump man to give the lady carrying a
little baby a good seat. Teddie never

neither did he even bark.
Each day the trip was taken with
the same result-a good seat and a
very quiet baby.
One day the doctors office was filled
with people waiting their turn, when a
lady turned politely to Teddie's mis-
tress and said. MY turn comes next,
but I win wait for you on account OF
your baby. 1t is so very tiresome to
wait with a baby"
The doctor opened his door at that
moment, and called them both in his
private office. He said: II will show

took Teddie carefully in his arms. He
threw back the white veil and disclosed
the dogs little pugnose and pert little

Teddie can see pretty well out of one
eye now. His mistress expected a
huge bill for the experts service, but
instead she received a receipted bill
from the good doctor with a note say
ing that as Teddie was the first patient
he had ever treated of royal dog blood,
he esteemed 1t a great honor to have
been the means of helping him.

found on lonely Easter Island in the
Pacific Ocean.
The mystery as to what these
stones meant was not the only puZ-
zle. The greatest puzzle was how
primitive people without knowledge of
engineering and without known appli-
ances could have moved and erected
such giant blocks, some of which
weigh as much as $50 tons. In many
districts where the great memorials
stand there are no stones of such size
to be found in the earth. Consequent
ly they must have been transported
from places long distances away.
For many generations, ever since
men have spent any time in thinking
over these matters, scientists have puz-
zled their heads over the monoliths in
vain Whether they classed them as
all being the same, or whether they di-
vided them into different classes, they
remained the same riddle.
Lately. hewever. there has been a
systematic study of all the monolith
memorials of the world, and as a. re-
suit a novel theory has been advanced.
1t is that one race-that of the Phoe-
nicians-erected all these monuments.
OF course, if this is correct, it means
that history will have to be revised,
for it would show that the Phoenicians
once knew all about the whole globe,
and that they had visited America and
Asia long before modern days.
The first thing that led to the as
sumption that the Phoenicians had
raised the monuments was the observa-
ton of M. Levisre, a French archaeol-
ogist, that almost all the monoliths
were to be found near the mouths of
great rivers or along their. courses.

let the price be three times that of
other cakes. Also let him mark the
date of the victory upon them and cry
out that those who eat the cakes shall
partake of the sweets of victory"
When this had been translated to the
lad his eyes shone, and with the dig
nifty of ten thousand years of ma
tional good breeding he bowed him
self down the steps, salaamed himself
across the wide court in front of the
hotel, and then turned and ran swiftly
to where the five small sons of the
dealer in jewelry lived with their pa
rents. OF these neighbors he secured
three, and soon his shop was turned
into candy kitchen. When the day
was ended they went upon the streets.
There was intense excitement every
where. News Of success upon land and
sea had reached the city. Thousands
were gathered at the war office, where
bulletins were being put out.
Here Koya made his first announce
ment: BUY, o most victorious peo-
pie, the rice cakes made by Koya, son
Of Toxic Sin, who is away from his
insignificant shop fighting the enemies

of Sih the soldier, offers you these ex-
Those nearest were touched with en-
thusiasm and began to inspect the
cakes and the date and symbol of vic
tory marked upon them.
Then, In the midst of his selling,
Koya heard the name of Sih. "Sih OF
the fruit shop" "Sih," "a brave man."
Most worthily DONE" were phrases
that reached his ears. A priest came
through the crowd.

worshipper in the Temple OF WISDOM"
he said to Koya- cit is bulletined that

and thy most amiable mother, indeed,

Then in praise of himself as well as
of his patrons at the altar of the gods
he told the crowd of the illness of the
wife of Capt. Sin, and the eager hear
ers bought the cakes the boys had
brought. When a few days later
Capt Sih returned home for a fur

This pointed to a people that used
ships.
Now the Celts were never strong on
the water. Their boats were primitive,
being made mostly of wickerwork COW
cred with hides. and they were unable
to move any distance from land in
these clumsy and unseaworthy contriv-
ances.
Consequently, when the question
arose as to what race was advanced in
navigation in that early time when
these monuments were put up, the an
swer naturally came that the only race
known to be a race of sailors and mer-
chants then was the race of the Phoe-
nicians.
And if they were the Phoenicians,
how did they come to reach America?
They had colonies on the islands of
the. Western Mediterranean, and even
in the islands of the Atlantic ocean,
as history proves. 1t is not hard to
imagine that they may have found
their way to America. Some archaeol-
ogists are even willing to believe that
they reached America by way of the
lost Atlantis, that legendary continent
that is now sunken somewhere in the
Atlantic ocean, If It ever existed.
At any rate, the theory that the
Phoenicians were the erectors of the
monollthS OF the world, to comment
crate discoveries or for religious pur-
poses. has gained strength through the
recent discovery of a great upright
stone near the River Loire, which has
Phoenician words engraved deeply on
1t, Translated. these words say, ION
this spot was slain our brave COM
rade."
In San Luis, in Bolivia, is one of
these stones which has on It the en-
craving of a foot print and a snake
with its head raised. The foot print
is well-known Phoenician symbol of
death, and is found on many stones
that cover ancient Phoenician burial
sites. And the snake with head rails
ed is another acknowledged Phoenician
emblem. 1t signifies a march forward.
Exactly the same symbols as those on
the South American stone have been
found on a stone in Central France.

SALLY'S RAINY DAY FUN.

"Oh. dear" said Sally, ct don't see
why it should rain to-day of all days,

When they arrived Mrs. Challoner had
cleared off the library table and had
spread a. big atlas on 1t.
Now" said she, this is the travel
game. You must each plan a trip
around the world, to go here and there,

west, starting from Boston. Susan
must go east from New York. Sally
will go east from Philadelphia. Each
of you must have her own programme

The three girls had been playing for
an hour when the sun came out, and
Mrs. Challoner listened. expecting to
hear them rushing out of doors; but
as the expected sound did not come,
she looked into the library and found
them, laughing and interested, porting
over the map, quite oblivious
of the sunbeams that fell on
the atlas.
"The rain has stopped" said she,
"and you can go out, girls
The girls looked up and then at
each other. Finally Kitty said: "rd

Sally.
