Major Rejoice Newton's Memory,

Major Rejoice Newton was one OF
the characters Of the Worcester bar
some years ago. One Fourth Of July
when he was quite an old man, he
met two brother members of the bar
who took him into the rooms Of the
Worcester light infantry. His SON.
who died some years before, was long
an officer Of the company, and the old
man was cordially welcomed and hos.
pitably treated.
Next day the captain of the infan.
try company met one Of the lawyers
who had introduced Major Newton,
and said to him: ''That was a very
remarkable old man you brought in
yesterday to our rooms. He stayed
there all the forenoon, drinking punch
and telling stories. He remembered
General washington distinctly. He
went home to dinner, came back in
the afternoon, drank more punch, and
remembered Christopher Columbus. u

ceptacles are highly priced by natives
not SO far advanced in industrial en-
terprise. On the other hand, the
Motuans cannot grow enough food for
their own needs, and on this basis a
regular custom has sprung up which
varies little from year to year. Every
season at the end of the southeast

leaves the Port Moresby district laden
with pots, tola (arm shells), toa

native commodities. Arrived at a
village, these articles are displayed
to the intending purchasers.
Everything is carefully examined,
and if all is thus far satisfactory a
villager chosen by the tribe goes
away into the brush and returns with
measurements in circumference of
certain limo trees, which are re-
quired for making the big canoes
(asi), of which the lakatoi is to be
finally constructed when enlarged for
carrying the heavy cargo of sago on
the homeward journey. AS soon as
the bargains are concluded (on a rec

layers fell the trees which the visit
ors have agreed to buy, and the Mo-

He had been watching her for nearly
half an hour as she sat beneath the
perfumed, tossing purple lilacs. Her
face was upturned, rapt expression
rested in her wide blue eyes, Her
thoughts seemed to be seeking beyond
the skies. He muttered impatiently
as a procession of perambulators pro-

next instant he caught her in his
arms as she sank forward uncon-

''Case of starvation" said the
physician tersely. "Go and get a

into one Of the small park pavilions
and she lay like a broken lily, her
blue silken draperies trailing about
her, her golden hair about her face.
HALEY ran for the soup and held
her frail body in his arms while the
physician fed her, cautiously, small
spoonfuls. Her lips opened gratefully
for the food and, after a while, she
opened her eyes languidly. With
quiet wonder she gazed from the doc
tor to HALEY, mutely asking ques-
ton.

wilderment to him since the day in
the park. when he had picked her up,
half starved, taken her home and dis

bewilderment had not been so deep

neck relaxed, my head Strengthened

punished me while used the old kind
