Two Kinds, Both Tired.

An agent of the Interior Depart

odd phases of the Indians character.

down the hoe or the rake as soon as
the masters back was turned, and,
selecting cool spot, they would lie
down in the shade and sleep the day

But one morning very tall, ro-

for work.
"'No,' said the white man; you

"The upshot was that the Indian
was engaged and put to work in a
corn-field. The farmer went away.
When he returned, an hour or two
later, the Indian was asleep under a
tree.
Here, wake up!' exclaimed the
indignant farmer. You told me that

OLD NEWPORT.
Historic Houses and Families of the
Modern Resort.

Historic Houses and Families of the
Modern Resort.
Old Newport is story of itself.
The Redwood Library is historic. 1t
was established in 1747 and is re.
pository of valuable manuscripts,
books and pictures, but how few of
the Newport crowd who frivol during
the six weeks of it's season know Of
its existence? 1t has been watering
place since 1929, and for years was
the summer home of old South Caro-
lima and West India families. There
are many remarkable old houses in
the town proper, and among these are
General Prescott's Headquarters, the
State House on the square, the Haz.
ard house, the Wanton house on
Broadway, the Bull residence and the
numerous beautiful Colonial places
on the Point, known as Washington
street and once the court end Of town.
Trinity Church, with its historic
eighteenth century organ and pulpit,
is now nearly 200 years DID, and the
mysterious mill, perhaps 500 or per-
haps a 1000 years its senior in age,
is always interesting to sightseers.
AS a rule, though, visitors clamor to
see only the houses of multi-million-
aires.
| Perhaps among the younger peo-
pie at Newport there are few who
have read Bret Harte's version of the
young woman in the days of the visit
of the gallant Rochambeau's fleet
she who loved and who was deserted
| by the officer who sailed away and
never returned. She is said to haunt
| an old mansion on the Point and her
| ghost makes itself known by the faint
| perfume of mignonette. There are
many romantic stories concerning the
visit of the French fleet and the
| gayeties at Newport century and
more ago Every one has heard of
the three beautiful Misses Hunter,
| two of whom made brilliant foreign
matches. The Hunter family still
resides at Newport, and during the
last week in May the venerable Mrs.
| William Hunter celebrated her eigh-
| ty-second birthday by reception.
Her late husband was a nephew of
the famous beauties, one of whom be-
came the Countess de Cardignan.
The Hunters are descended from the
| famous DR.. William Hunter. The
Rev. Mr.. Birckhead, the rector of st.
Georges in Stuyvesant square, New
York, is also a descendant. And then
it was Newport which gave to this
country the immortal Perry, the
great-uncle of the present generation
of Belmonts, The first Mrs. August
Belmont was the daughter Of Com
modore Matthew Perry, brother Of
the hero of Lake Erie. He COM
manded the first naval expedition to
Japan and was honored by the
Mikado with special privileges, OPEN
ing to the world the trade of this
wonderful nation.-Town and Coun-

A PROPOSED
EDITORS UNION
u " III
BIZ the Editor OF Life.

Editors are busy men. Their time
is oftentimes unnecessarily taken up
by would-be contributors.
In most cases it would be better II
the contributor did not see the editor
at all. His manuscript would re-
ceive more careful attention, because
the editor would have more time to
give to it.
There are many instances, how
ever, where it is profitable to a con-
tributor to see the editor. He re-
ceives suggestions, ideas, advice.
1t is almost always profitable to
contributor to see an editor. IL Is
almost always a loss to an editor to
see a contributor a loss in time, IN
nervous energy.
In view of these facts, why not
have it understood that editors
throughout the country charge an
Office fee whenever a contributor
wishes to see them? This will put
stop to all superlluous visits by
would-be contributors to editors. AS
a rule. would-be contributors are not
over-anXious to spend their money.
When they have to pay for an editors
time, they will do so only In cases OF
necessity.
If, for example, a contributor de-
clares that he wishes to see the edl-
tor on a matter of the utmost I'M
portauce," he should be willing TO
hack ND his assertion with cash. This
will at once place the whole matter
on business basis.
When this is done there will always
be a small proportion of would-De
contributors who are willing to pay
to see the editor. They will be sim
ccre. and probably worth seeing, be-
cause. when it comes to putting ones
hand in ones pocket, only those VIII
do it who have a pretty strong con-
yiction that they are going to get IL
back.
The following schedule of prices is
suggested
| For submitting manuscript In
person, not to take over tve
minutes of editors time. .$2.Oo
For an interview lasting fifteen
minutes. .''' o'oo
| For reading poem, in addition
(not over fifteen minutes) .25.0o
| All lady contributors, 81 a minute
extra.
| No interview to last over fifteen min
uteS.
There are about 5000 editors in
the country who are constantly trying
to avoid being interviewed by would
! NE contributors. Say that they are
visited by would-be contributors one
hour day for five days in the week.
| This would be on the average about
100000 a week-an enormous IN
come, almost sufficient to turn a
presidential election.
What shall be done with thls
, money?
Many ways suggest themselves.
Some of it might easily be set ASIDE
for the support of broken-down liter
att. Perhaps, however, the best way
the money could be used would be 10
create a fund for all persons VINO
wish to become writers, to prevent
them from doing it by contributing 10
their support.-Life.

Asbestos HOrseshors.

Asbestos horseshoes are an inven-
ton of a Honolulu blacksmith. There
has long been demand for such an
article, it is said. Visitors to the vol
cano near Honolulu usually ride from
the volcano house down into the pit
and across to the Halemauman pit
on horses. But the heat underneath
the floor of the Kilauea has been in
creasing to such degree that the
horses feet suffer, hence the need Of
non-heat-conducting shoes.-Kansas

Fortune favored me: before l had
been twenty -four hours in San Diego l
learned that one of the best fruit
farms in the State was to be sold 1t
lay in Elysium Valley, about twelve
miles back of San Diego, and was the
property of Colonel Kinks. On hear
ing this, I hired horse at once and
rode to the estate. The road ran be-
tween irrigated plantations Of lemons.
oitrons, oranges and other fruits that
perfumed the air: the higher slopes
were covered with vines. In the dis
tance before me were the snow-capped
peaks of the Sierra Nevada, ard turn
ing in my saddle as [ ascended the
gentle rise on which the house stood,
my eyes were dazzled by the beauty
Of San Diego Bay.
The house was large and we'll built
in the Italian style--a style not I'M
suited to that unclouded sky, and the
surrounding scenery. The view from
the belvedere was indcscribably beau
tiful, and indeed justified the high
sounding name given to the valley it
overlooked.
There were flowers everywhere about
and round the house; they festooned
the terrace fronting the facade; they
hung from the windows; they edged
the paths; they even twined from
bough to bough of the great cedar that
lent shade to the lawn.
''This is house worthy of Edith
thought. "Oh, that it may be mine
to offer her"
It would be time wasted to enter into
my business transactions with Colonel
Kinks Suffice it to say that my ardent
wish was realized, and that in less than
