SOME PRETTY TALL CORN

farms along the Neosho, northeast Of

Missouri may be able to brag on rails

the fact that it has corn ten feet high is
not remarkable. Kansas can give Mis-
souri, cards and spades and beat all its
corn stories. Corn IA feet high out along

comment among the farmers. tits still

Most of the early corn has been "laid

has revived the old-time corn stories
of the ck-and-the- Bean-Stalk type.

WEST INDIAN CAR|BS|
BUT FEW 1ENAIN OF THIS ONCE
WARLIKE PEOPLE.
Waged Ineessant Warfare on Span
tsh. French and English in Turn
Survivors Living in Is
land Of Dominica.

The indians ore not the only Ameri-
can aborigines that are rapidly disap-
peartng. The West Indian Carib, the
first people seen by Columbus when he
landed In the new world, have practi-
cally disappeared, only small number
OF them, scarcely 100, still remain in
the island of Dominica. There they are
under government protection and live
their primitive life on government
reservation.
The Caribs were at one time one of
the most warlike races in the western
hemisphere. They were more blood
thirsty, if possible, than any of the
North American Indian tribes. and in
turn waged incessant warfare upon
Spanish, French and English, as one
after another laid claim to and at
tempted to govern the islands.
Previous to the eruptions of Morne
Pelee and the Souffriere of ST. Vincent
there was another small band of Caribs
IN the latter island; all of these, how
ever, were destroyed by the eruptions.
OF the Dominican Caribs only about
one-half are of pure blood, or SO nearly
pure that no trace of negro blood is
discernible. The others are greatly
mixed, and it is difficult to determine
where negro leaves OF and Carib be-
gins.
In appearance the Caribs are rather
short and thickset, with yellowish or
coppery olive skin, stir. straight, blue
black hair and oval faces with distinct
~ Monaghan features. They are quiet
almost to taciturnity, Industrious and
peaceable, but, like "Poor Lo." every
where have an inveterate fondness for
strong drink, and also possess another
unfortunate Indian failing, being in
corrigible thieves. They profess the
catholic religion, dress in civilized
clothes. and dwell in neatly made but
primitive houses of mud, daubed cane
or waffle, matched with pandanus or
palm leaves.
Few, If any, of their members now
speak the Carib tongue, but many pos
sess limited knowledge of Carib
words. Strangely enough, the Carib
language had two distinct forms, one
OF which was confined to the use of
the women, the other to the men. This
state of affairs was doubtless due to
the fact already mentioned that their
wives were captured from other tribes.
Their mineral system was also rather
remarkable; they were unable to count
numerically above five. The word for
five was the same as for ''hand." Ten

work as laborers on neighboring es-
tates, and many are fishermen.
Their fishing boats are particularly
interesting. inasmuch as they have ap-
parently been patterned from the ow-
err spath Of the palm tree. In fact, the
boys use the natural spathes for toy
canoes. The real canoes are formed
from the trunk Of the gommier tree,
followed out inside and spread open by
means of heated stones and hot water.
To add greater freeboard to the shell q
plank is fastened to either gunwale and
the whole is strengthened by hand
hewed ribs and thwarts. These boats
are used throughout the islands, not
only by the fishermen but as passenger
craft as we'll, and when larger and
more stoutly built are even used as
lighters in loading and discharging the
steamship cargoes.
For speed, seaworthiness and rough
usage these primitive craft have few, if
any, equals. 1t is no uncommon sight

permitted private gold producers to
stamp a money value on pieces of gold

these pieces are octagonal in shape. The
then hazardous methods of transporting
currency from the east caused regular

years after the establishment of the

Some readers may remember ActAeoa,
the little white-tailed fawn, Which, aft
er having broken its leg, Was picked Mp
by . guide in the Blue Mountain forest,
and turned over to me to study. They
may remember, too, that the broken
bone knit perfectly, and that the fawn
became as tame as q kitten, remaining
close to the house At all times, and
occasionally even jumped through
the windows when threatened by dan
ger, real or imagined. At first. the fawn
was reddish in color and beautifully
spotted with white. but as the summer
passed, the spots disappeared, and as
the cold weather approached the red
dish coat was changed for thicker
and warmer grayish brown one. All
winter he stayed with us, coming on
the piazza every day to be fed. and

Early this spring, we decided to re-

this was simple matter. as the fence

den, whence we can enter it by gate.
So into the forest we went and with
