siderable trade. with the rest of the
world. 1t was a great and sudden
change for the sailor boy Young, from
the forecastle of the fur trading ship
to the palace of the Hawaiian King;
from being bullied by the mate and
kicked by the captain to being placed
in a position of great power and re-
sponsibility But John Young was a
sailor who could stand good fortune,
and he proved great benefactor to
Hawaii, where his name is still remen1-
bered and places named after him.
A street in Toxic the capital of
Japan, is called Pilot street in men,
DRY OF one William Adams, a ship
wrecked sailor boy cast upon the
japanese shores three hundred years
ago. and supposed to be the first Eng
lishman and one Of the first white men
of any nation to have seen the coun-
try.
When young Adams found himself
lying on the beach with strange look
ing men about him, he thought his
time had come, and it really was a
toss-up with him between death and
being Prime Minister. However, the
Japs decided that before killing him
they would keep him awhile as a Curl
osity. and they took him away to their
village. The news of the arrival of
the strange being spread through the
country, and the Emperor, hearing it,
commanded Bill Adams TO be brought
before him.
The Emperor was much interested
in the sailor boy, and had him taught
Japanese When he could speak the
language of the country the sailor and
the Emperor became great chums,
and Adams taught the Imperial work
men how to build ships after the Eng
lish fashion, and lots of other things,
so that the Emperor took him into
high favor, made him rich, gave hin,
high position at Court and told him
he would better marry a Japanese wife
and settle down.
Bill said he thought he would rather
go home, but after awhile he married
pretty Japanese wife and settled
down on a great estate which the
/ Emperor gave him. The Japanese

and acquired the tools with which to
make living, he would bring to the
new house as his bride the young
girl to whom he had been betrothed
when he was little boy"
The Igorote boys do not skylark
and play like our Yankee boys, but
are dignihed and grave at an early
age. On entering an Igorote settle
ment one may see band of boys in
their teens pass by, each wearing a
white feather in his hair. These are
the police of the place, and very good
order they keep, too, and very solemn
ly do they go about performing their
duties.
One of the duties of the boy police
man is to watch out while the men
and women are working in the fields
to see that evilly disposed warriors
from a hostile tribe do not steal on
them
The Igorotes used to be head-hunt-
ers and took great delight in killing
an enemy that they might cut off his
head and stick it on the fence in front
of their houses. But the Americans
have pretty we'll stopped that custom,
though the boy policemen still keep
watch over the rice fields and the
vegetable gardens lest some of their
neighbors should suddenly revert to
their old habits and go on head
hunting expedition.
One of the duties of the little Igo-
rote boy is to shut UP the hens at
night. A part of the outfit of every
Igorote household is lot of wicker
cages with wooden bottoms. They are
slightly larger than bird cage, look
like overgrown rat traps, and have lit
tie wooden doors. Each hen, as soon
as she gets big enough to lay, has
one of these funny coops assigned to
her for home, and in it she lays her
eggs, sets and rears her young, and
sleeps at night Before going to bed
the little Igorote boy has to go around
to each hen cage, see that the hen it
belongs to is at home, and close the
little wooden door.
AS the invariab1e rule is one hen,
one coop, and as well-to-do Igorote
family keeps many hens, it is no easy
job to shut the "henhouse door"

sonage than the famous director of
the grand opera.
AS soon as she discovered this won-
derful fact, she felt satisfied that her
fortune was made; and her confidence
grew each day, for every time that she
was hung over the fire the operatic
director praised her song anew. He
never tired of listening to it.
Il never heard kettle sing so de-
| lightfully before" he said.
The tea-kettle now thought with
contempt of her humble companions
of the kitchen. There they are" She
reflected, content to shovel coal and
fry nasty fat meat and do the cooks
dirty work, all because they have no
ambition and lack the artistic temper
ament; while | will soon be on the
stage, where will hold thousands
spellbound by my song"
But one morning the operate direc-
tor said: We'll, we break up camp
after breakfast" And before long
everything was packed up; everything,
that is, except the operate tea-kettle.
Greatly to her amazement, no one
seemed to think of taking her along.
Goodbye, old lady," said the oper-
attic director to her as he departed.
I'm sorry that ] can't engage you
for the opera, but Pm afraid that your
singing would throw my other prima
donnas too much in the shade"
So she was left hanging on the tri-
pod till it tumbled down The birds
came hopping around her and sang;
but they only laughed when she said
to them:
Il am an operate singer myself"
Soon she became rusty and dirty.
Then who should come hopping along
one day but the same toad that she
had met on the day she ran away.
"Hey!' he said, with his usual vul-
garity. Il thought that you were
going to sing in grand opera?"
Il intended to, but l met with mis-
fortune" replied the tea-kettle.
We'll, | guess I'll have to move in
this time, said the toad rude1y.
And so he did He moved in that
very same day with his wife and
family.
And the tea-kettle often thought of
the clean, bright kitchen and said to
herself:
Alas! l see now that it is better
to be an honest tea-kettle and sing at
ones work, than to be a rusty, bat
tered toadhouse with the artistic tenn
permanent"

So that night the tea-kettle slipped
over the edge of the stove after the

the door that led out into the alley.
The next morning, when the milkman

lay waiting for an opportunity to go

From F0recQstLe to Palace

HE world is so thoroughly ex-
plored now that there seems
i little chance of ship
wrecked sailor boy being
cast up by the waves on some hardly
known coast to be taken in hand by
the King of the country and made
Prime Minister. In former years such
things could and did happen, and sail
ors got to be rather on the lookout
for it, SO that when one was wrecked
on the coast he fell to wondering
whether he would be eaten by canni-
balls or made the Kings right-hand
man.
When the Hawaiian islands were
savage islands, hardly known at all
to the rest of the world, the natives
captured and destroyed two American
ships which put in there, killing all
the members Of the crews except two
sailors-Isaac Davis and John Young.
Kamahameha the Great was then
King of the largest island Of the
group, and he had Davis and Young
brought before him. He took the
guns out of the captured ships and
showed the TWO sailors OtneT guns,
which he had got from Chinese ships
that had come there to trade for SAN
dial wood
The Russians tried to seize the ISL
ands and make myself great King
said the savage chief. Go you and
teach my people to Use firearms .
The two sailors did as they were bid,
which was about the only safe thing
they could do, and soon had we'll
drilled army of natives. The King
was so pleased with the sailors. espec-
tally with Young, that he provided
for them handsomely, giving them
great estates. Young he made his
Prime Minister, and before long Ka-
mehameha was master OF all the isl
ands. Upon the advice of Young, the
King built forts and ships, and the
Prime Minister began the establish
ment Of civilization which had made
considerable progress before the mid
die Of the Kings reign.
The Russians tried to seize the isl
ands, but John Young drove them off
and before long the islands had con.
