The only conclusion to Toe drawn from

in the Sunday Star is this That, in the
opinion of the writer Of these hobdomedal

sumo 20 do anything but what he is told
20 do 10y the whito Republican bosses;
and, oven more important, that no negro

She {Baby) was sorry to seem dis

mare only 70 see what woman

looking either. You might take her to
be quite respectable unless you knew

Baby heard every word, as Miss Ros-
well meant she should. She stepped

hands hanging helplessly at her sides.
Norris likewise heard; he flushed dark
" and made as If to stand by his
sweetheart. But his mother was call

face raised to his and her eyes wet.
Instantly he flung back to them, but
Baby waved him away. When he had
gone and the carriage was out Of hear

hard breath: Poor Granville! ought

"A shining example Of private virtue

Of Robert Toombs Of Georgia given In
The Brothers War" Toombs was a
prominent character for many years
before the war and served in the two
houses Of congress about fifteen years.
He was afterward secretary Of state In
the Confederate government.
He had a wit and fneness Of ex-
preston. says the author, which made
his phrases and repartee widely quoted
and made him the delight Of apprecia.

A rival candidate, really conspicuous
ana celebrated for his little ability, In

would never leave his post during I

doing. Toombs disposed Of this ding

CUSTOMS OF THE cANNlBALs
Tribes of Savages Observe Traditions
AMONG Themselves.


Even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh. there
are differences" said Paul Pucci
young Italian traveller, at the Ra-
leigh. Some while ago, when ex-
pioring that country, learned a good
bit about the ways of the various
tribes. In majority of them can
nibalism is INDUCED only when the
LoGies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
uron friends or even upon members
of the same tribe. This delicacy OF
sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where
| noted the absence of any old per-
sons, learned that it was the proper
thing to add the aged inhabitants
to the local food supply. This con-
fined the population 20 the young and
hardy, for at the first signs of decrepi-
tude the boiling pot was called into
requisition. Washington Post.

The true heroine, of the accepted
type, must know the secret of weep

in moments of deep emotion she must
be prepared to bite her lips till they
bleed, and yet exhibit no subsequent
sign of swelling or Disagreement. The
