tSgY the history of Virginia, and Tor
whose courage and daring every
youthful heart is filed with admir-
alton. Though a young man when he came
to Virginia, he had already passed through
life of wonderful adventure in the Old World,
the narration of which sounds like the reading
of some chivalric story of old.
Having early in life exhibited restless DIS
position and a love for adventure, 1t Is not
surprising that soon after the death OF ms
father John Smith, though but lad, entered
the employ of a nobleman who was about TO
travel on the Continent.
But the dull, prosy life of retainer did
not seem to suit the erratic nature of young
Smith, who was discharged from his situation
at Orleans soon after with ample funds to
secure his passage home.
Meeting with Scotchman of similar dis
position to his own, he was easily induced to
go to Scotland where he expected position
under King James.
Being disappointed in his expectations, he
returned to Willoughby, in Lincolnshire, his
birthplace. But there had been changes
wrought in his absence; many of his old com
panions had died. and others had gone to
seek their fortunes in the world. So, finding
no congenial associates, and feeling his utter
loneliness, he withdrew, hermit-hke, to the
"OOus, NHGlG lG COnslEuClCu HiHlSSAi Il iuuS
hut. Here he devoted himself to study, prin-
cipally works on military art, and he was
often seen executing exercises with his horse
and lance. He gained great proficiency IN
using the latter and also the sword.
In 1926, Smith, being in his seventeenth
year, again began his rowing life. After wan
dering through Flanders and a part of France,
he fell in with party of pilgrims at Mar
seilles, and agreed to accompany them on their
passage to Italy.
They had been out but a little while when
a terrible storm overlook them. The waves
were lashed to fury by the shrieking wind, and
rose to mountainous heights, threatening at
each moment to engulf the frail craft.
So thought Smith; but imagine his horror
and sternation when the cry arose, Over
board with the heretic!" They seized him,
when several of the party interfered; but, in
spite of this and his struggles he was thrown
overheard into the boiling sea.
Several of the party being of an ultra sect
of religious fanatics, imputed the foul weather
to the presence of Smith; that God was dis
pleased with his presence on board, they felt
certain, so they determined to rid themselves
of him as Jonah was disposed of.
But unlike Jonah, no whale was at hand
powerful swimmer, he, after much exertion,
reached the island of st. Mary not far from
Nice.
Here, destitute and weary, he remained for
some time when he was befriended bv a shin
master, who took him to Alexandria; from
thence he coasted along the Levant where

NO RICE CHRISTIANS

school to be organized there. Mr. Ridg-

church in Salt Lake, and for many
years he was missionary in the Chi
nese Empire.
They were guests yesterday of Bish-
op and Mrs. Restarick. who drove them
about the city.
Mr.. Ridgley says there are no more
Rice Christians in China. His ref

that somebody is lin it for the bread

a person who espouses any cause for
the same reason, is said to be lin it
for the rice he gets out of it,

they work as many as five Sunday

do in America as it is possible to do
under the circumstances, in order to

used to say that he had no use for dead
missionaries and therefore wanted us
to live as near as possible after our
accustomed manner.
zone of the greatest revolutions we
force upon the Chinese pupils is that
they take a weekly bath. At first they
balk at it and some of the parents
make special request that the regula-
ton be not enforced upon their chill
dren for fear they will take cold. but
they all have to comply. They are also
required to take gymnastic and athletic
exercises, and at first this is contested
even more earnestly than the matter of
bath, for they think that a scholar
must necessarily be sickly and have
weak eyes. and other marks of an over

Ruins OF an Ancient settle=n snt

Edgar Cox, a miner, lately reach ed
Redding, Cal, after a hard trip across
the country from Bassen Buttes, 40
miles east of that place, bringing q
story Of strange discoveries of even
deeper interest than the great crater
and the springs and caves of the lava
fields. The discoveries are of bones
and implements denoting people and
state of civilization existing there
many centuries ago. 1t is believed,

far remote period from the mouth of
the grim old crater.
party of timber surveyors investi-
eating their way over the rough coun-
try south of Noodles pass found within
four feet of the surface human bones
half petrified. They evidently had
lain in much greater depth, but ero-
sion had thinned the crust of earth
above them. The skeletons were in
various postures, as though death had
come suddenly upon the ancients,
striking them down as they were en-
gagged in the daily routine of life. Next
the searchers came upon rude spoons
and bowls. They were apparently of
stone. but they bore no resemblance
to the Indian relics which the traveller
sees often in that region. Instruments
which perhaps were used as hammers
and chisels were found. They. too,
were totally unlike the known imple
ments of the Indians. Some of the
stone articles were of such design that
they could not be classified at all.
The surveyors became convinced that
they had CHANGED upon relics of race
that antedated the known Indians so
far as to have little in common with
them.
1t was the conviction of the party
that the ruins of settlement or city,
possibly engulfed with its inh abitants
by an eruption of the long extinct vol
cano. lie beneath the lava and can be
reached with comparative ease from
certain points where little lava re-
mains.

Some Quains Customs OF the Young
Women Of Russia.
Russian girls frequently amuse
themselves by attempting to discover
what sort of husbands VIII eventually
lead them to the altar. A favorite
manner Of doing this is by so called
divination.
The girl who is tired Of q single life
sits in the mystic hours Of the night
between two large mirrors. On each
side she places candle and then
eagerly watches until she can see
twelve reflected lights. If the fates
are propitious she ought also to dis
Germ the husband she desires portray
ed in the glass before her.
Another method of diyin0tion is to
have supper laid for two. If the
young lady is fin luck the appariton Of
the future husband VIII come and sit
down beside her, but in order TO Sc
cure success the girl must not divulge
to any one her intention of thus at
tempting to dive into futurity.
There is q story told to the effect
that the daughter of a rich farmer
was I'm love wi,h a young Lieutenant,
and he. suspecting that she would
probably have supper laid for two,
climbed the wall Of the garden and,
sitting down by hsr side. partook Of
the prepared banquet, the girl being
under the impression that it was his
appapition and not the real simon pure.
on leaving the room the officer for
got his sword. which he had unbucl1led
before he sat down to supper. The
girl. finding the weapon after his de-
parture. hid it i'm the cupboard as a
memento Of the visitor.
Eventually she married another
sutton. and he. fancying that there was
some rival who supplau,ed him i'm his

ing the sword. was confirmed in his

VIM. r. HEARST

Those who have been accustomed to

Treatment Of Germans
in the South.

Division Passenger Agent J. W. LuT-
ton Of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad has received a letter from
the First Vice-President of the road,
quoting a cablegram printed recently
in The Eerlinger Taggeblatt, a daily
newspaper Of Berlin, Germany, in re-
gard TO emigration to the United
States. in which there is a slanderous
statement against The South.
The cablegram was sent from New
York and was as follows:
New York. July 2S. 1905.-(Private
Cablegram.) The emigration broke
the record last year with 1,02I42l
persons. Austria-Hungary has the
largest number. then follows Italy,
Russia. Great Britain and Scandina-
via. The Morgen Journal warns the
Germans not to emigrate 70 the
Southern States, as they are forced
to work by rev0lverS and are treated
worse than slaves.
This IS not only a SANDER on the
South, but &c is so Numerically OBJ
posed TO the actus conditions as they
exist here that it calls for immediate
attention from every southern news
paper and every southern interest.
The Morgon Journal is published in
New York and It has a wide circula-
ton among the German people. con
seQuenuy a statement of the kind at
tributed to it wiz have more or less
influence with them.
such a. statement could not be the
result OF a mistake--it IS a deliberate
attempt to prejudice German settlers
against the south and to injure this
section for the. purpose Of building
up some other section.
II is a fact well known to anyone
who knows anything about it all,
that law-abiding. industrious immi-
grants Of every nationality are
not vel treated in the south,
but they are welcomed here
everywhere and at all times.
The south. in fact, wants them and in
many places special inducements are
held out to get them to locate here.
There are thousands Of Germans 10
Gated in che south and there are sew
eral almost exclusive German settle
ments here. They are amongst Ouc
best citizens and they have done a
large part in building up the pros
porous industries Of this section
The statement of the Morgan Jour
nal about the treatment of Germans
in the south is repudiated by every
German citizen in the southern states
and that fact should be put prominent
~ before every person whom the New
York papers libel is likely TO reach
of influence.
