Next year Monte Carlo Is to have a

1900 rooms, which will be anchored
off the port of Monaco, says a special
cablegram to the ST. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat Naturally only an American
could be guilty of such q freak. This
American was recently annoyed be-
cause the proprietor of the hotel at
Monte Carlo, where he had been ac-
customed to stay every season, re-
fused to let him have the rooms he
usually occupied, as they happened
Just then to be in the possession Of an
oriental The American was furious
and offered to buy the hotel. This was
also refused. Then he said that he
would have his revenge.
Next season he would transport bodi-
~ some big hotel to Monte Carlo and
would take away half of the customers.
He found, In fact, big transatlantic
liner which Is being built for an Eng
lish company, but had been refused be
cause there had been some mistake In
the lines. The unfinished ship was
just the thing for the American mil
lionaire. He purchased her for spot
cash, and next year she will float as a
luxurious hotel off the harbor Of Monte
Carlo.

New York Times In fact, fame has
tagged him SO closely since he got a
two dollar reward for returning $780,

had his number changed to prevent

front Of ]. F. Morgan e. Co.'s Office on
a recent Saturday. Inside was an en-
velope marked with J. T. Morgan &
Co.'S name and SO many hundred dol
lar bills that the boy didn't stop to
count them. A peep into the envelope
showed lot of drafts totaling more
than $4,000.
Without hesitation "1462" took the
wallet into Mr.. Morgan's office 1t
didn't belong there, but the cashier
easily identified 1t as the property Of
the Mercantile National bank. He ad-
mitted, the messenger says, that the
cash totaled $1,000 and called up the

Of worry. They asked him to forward
the wallet and the honest messenger
at once.

CAKEWALK IN AFRICA.
Kongo First Home of Southern
Dance, Says Starr.
HAS ALL THE FANTASTIC STEPS,
Chicago University Professor, Back,
From q Years Trip, Says the Dance
In Accompanied by Ragtime Music
and Hand Clapping - Eating of
Travellers Merely q Joke, He Claims.
Many Curios Brought Back.


The cakewalk Is not Of American
origin. 1t had its beginning In the
wllds Of Africa, not upon the sunny
plantations Of the south. 1t Is dance
hundreds and perhaps thousands Of
years old and was an requirement Of
the negro before he ever set eye upon
America.
The origin Of the cakewaik has been
unearthed by Professor Frederick
Starr of the department Of anthropol-
ogy of the University Of Chicago, who
returned to Chicago recently after an
absence of sixteen months, year of
which was spent In darkest Africa"
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Practically the only American addi-
ton to the dance Is the cake, and it Is
not at oil certain that there may not
be some prehistoric antecedent for this,
he says.
II always had supposed the cake
walk to be Of American origin" said
Professor Starr. "The natives of the
Kongo Free State have dance that
has all the fantastic steps, all the
elaborate attentions, oil the eloquent
attempts at grace, the salutations, the
carrying of the cane and the light, airy
movements that we know here In Amer
lea In the form Of the cakewalk. The
dance Is accompanied by sort of rag
time music and handclapping, but
there is no cake"
Professor Starr also exploded the
missionary cannibal joke. 'The man
who made up that perpetual piece Of
humor had lively imagination" said
the explorer. II was among many
cannibals, for there are many tribes
In Africa which still adhere to this
custom, but none of them ever express
ed desire to eat me.
"The natives are not in the habit Of
eating travellers. dare say that few
white people have been eaten, but
very few. The particular variety Of
meat that may be served at canni-
balistic feast is strictly limited In each
tribe. One tribe may eat only the old
people, another the children, II they
should die, and still another those who
fall In battle Etiquette Is very strict
on these matters.
"Nelther Is 1t dangerous to travel
through Africa. The greatest danger
is not from the natives or from the
wild animals. but from the fever. lf
you approach the natives in the proper
attitude you will not be harmed. But
the fever Is an enemy. My companion,
Manuel Gonzales, suffered from twen-
ty attacks, while had about ten.'

Last Thursday, Velma Dilks, 20 year old
daughter OF Thos. Dilkes, near Evan, star
ted to walk to Mullica Hill to visit her sis
ter, Mrs. Leon Coles. Becoming weary she
sat down by the roadside. A negro came
up from behind and grabbing her by the
arm, said: "You come with me- Miss
Dilks screamed, and about that moment a
young man drove over the hill and appear
ed on the scene, and the negro fed. The
young man drove Miss Dilks to her sisters
at Mullica Hill. Miss Dilks did not know
him and he declined to give his name.
The negro went to Evan and hung
around there all the afternoon. He has
worked for John Crawford, Lewis Mood
and other farmers in the vicinity. He is
from the South and this is his first season
in this section.
