THE SKULL
CAME BACK

The reported finding OF the skull
OF DIR. oliver Fellows Tompkins among
the cannibals Of New Guinea recalls
the horrible story Of his massacre in
1901. The story Of the recovery Of the
skull was brought here by Bert Doyle,
who has been in New Guineta for sew.
eral years and who returned to Ameri.
en- yesterday on the liner Ventura.
DIR. Tompkins, in company with Rev.
James Chalmers, the explorer, James
Walker, Thomas Rathbone and IL d.
tive converts, started on a missionary
trip to one Of the small nearby islands
on the little schooner Niue. The ma
tives displayed great friendliness for
the white men, but, once they had en-
ticed them ashore, they fell upon the
small party aud made them prisoners,
The other members Of the expedition
were killed and devoured before the
eyes Of T%ompkins, Rathbone and
Walker, who, after being subjected to
horrible tortures, later met the same
fate as their companions.
Captain Sadenaker of the Niue man
aged to escape after a desperate run.
ming fight, aud took the story to Thurs
day island. A military expedition was
fitted out, and a war ship was sent TO
the scene. But although the natives
were severely punished, their villages
being RACED, and thousands killed, no
trace Of the missionaries could be
found save a few small bones and a
pair Of trousers.
The search for the skulls of the muir
dered men was kept up with indiner'
ent success until this spring, when six
natives who had confessed to partiei'
pating. in the cruel deed, promised the
return Of Tompkins' skull in exchange
for freedom. A white mans skull was
turned over to the authorities by these
natives, and they we're released. 1t ia

is that Of DIR. Tompkins,

eiously to the trees, and o form
climbing vines, which, after three or
four years, commence to bear. In the
fifth year the vine will be in full bear
ing, and will produce from Is to 40
beans, each bean worth from 8 to 10
cents Mexican (3.s2 to AIT cents Unit
ed States. In certain years the beans
have been known to sell as high as Is
cents $3.50 cents) apiece. The cured
beans command a much higher price.
It is only the experienced curer who
understands the process, which is a
delicate one, but easily acquired by
practice and observation.
It is estimated that a fve-acre va.
nilla plantation will yield sufficient
income to render its owner independ-
ent for the remainder Of his life. But
in order to succeed it is necessary to
give the tender vines personal and
constant attention as they pass from
stage to stage in their growth, and to
protect them from rough treatment, to
which they. are usually exposed when
left in charge Of hired help. Where
one planter has succeeded hundreds
have failed, owing to lack Of personal
care. This is strikingly illustrated by
visiting tho great vanilla districts,
where IL will be noticed with what ten
der solicitude young vines are nursed
by the French and Italian %colonists,
who have made such a remarkable sue
cess Of their plantations, and who
have grown wealthy following this
pursuit.
Vanilla cultivation is especially
adapted to women or persons who can
not endure exposure or hardships. The
vine is interesting, and its culture is
a seductive and profitable occupation.
Along the Tuxpam river and for 90 OF
go miles inland southwest Of this
place there is an extensive territory
well suited TO the cultivation of the
vanilla and kindred tropical products.

FOR
DAMAGES

f. Dewey, who on the evening Of
March 30, fell on tho sidewalk near
Cornelius & Hancock's livery barn,
has filed suit against the city Of For-
est Grove, asking damages to the
amount Of $295s. The complaint,
which was served on II. @. King, as
clerk, Tuesday alleges that on the date
mentioned the plaintiff fell at the place
stated, and received injuries and
bruises, and said fall was caused by
loose boards and rotten stringers in the
sidewalk, and which amounts to, to-
gether with costs for medical attention
and nurse hire, to 1858; and It further
alleges hat the injuries received
caused him to be unfit for manual la
Dor, which he was heretofore unable
to do, and his complaint prays for a
further sum Of $4,000.
The plaintiff is represented by j. N.
Hoffman of this city and M. b. Bump
of Hillsboro, and the city by Judge W.
II. Hollis.
At the regular meeting Of the coun-
ell in May, Mr.. Dewey presented a
bill for medical services, nurse hire
and damages, in the total sum Of 1908.
The matter was taken up and passed
to the ordinance committee for inves-
tigation but at the last regular meet
ing the matter wa ordered to be fur
Their investigated. Most Of the coun'
cilmen unoficially expressed their will
lingness to pay the medical and nurse
hire, which amounts to $53, but
thought adversely regarding the claim
for $3.50 damages.

Caustic view Of American Lady.

Caustic View Of American Lady.
Americans are credited by the Baba
Bharati, a Hindoo scholar now living
an the United States, with having Gre
afed a new type of human being-the
%AIndy." the Bahia, writing in Public
Opsnion on "what the East Can Teach
tho West" says;
sfT have not seen a single home in
two great American cities, though ]
Thzve visited many. The hearth has
been abolished, the radiator has taken
5ts place. The home is without its pre-
siding deity-the wise, affectionate,
slf-aacrifcinR mother, the true wife,
uuhose love for her husband was her
nsst jewel, whose. devotion to duty to
an nround her insured peace and har-
nngny, the very life of a home.
asAnd who has usurped the throne
of this domestic deityH A lady part
mer who has agreed, before a church
altar or in a registry Office, to live to-
srether with the man Of her momen-
1ary choice, as long as IL suits her or
che man, in a suit Of rooms Of a house
for tho purpose Of enjoying and hunt
sng material pleasures. IL is a lady
who has abolished the home as a relic
of a barbarous age, and turned II into
uiating, talking and sleeping rooms,
with comfortable or luxurious conven'
Spneea, who has made over the kitchen
pnd housekeeping TO hired cooks and
maidservants or housekeepers to escape
ahs bother or worldly voorhees, in many
.casps, abolished II along with the
home, preferring TO eat ready-cooked
feeds in hotels and restaurants. II Is
n lady who tries to expiate the sin Of
her share In race suicide by caring
more for a baby dog fed to square pro-
Vortions or a cat INDUCED out of all
spreportions than for a human being.
NJ is n lady who knows no more IF
Bringing up children than she knows
of keeping a house or cooking, both
of which she hates. Hence children
generally are either trained by nurses
