We have since learned that two
years ago, when. we took the posi-

to an endorsement as, Senator, the
report was quietly circulated in
Benton County that we had "been
bought out.by the corporations!"
Funny wasn't it, for. the tools OF

In Woman Former
Slave

Indianapolis, Ind.-For the third
time in her life of SO years, the wife
of America Massey, former slave
who lives with George Laswell at Min
nesota street and Churchman avenue,
has turned from black to white.
The first 16 years of her life were
spent in slavery as housemaid and
as she can remember nothing about
her parents she does not attempt to
explain the mystery which has baffied
everyone who has seen her, as well as
numerous physicians who have exam.

Having completed the third transfer.
nation Mrs. Massey is now of a fair
complexion. Her skin is not light in
patches, but is completely white with
the exception of three small brown
spots on the right side of her face and
one on the left. A tint Of pink on
each cheek adds bit of color to her
appearance and the curly hair, which
is gray only in patches, brings add
tional contrast. When working about
the house she rolls her sleeves, show
ing arms whittier than would be ex
pected on a woman with a fair skin.
In making the first complete change
from black to white and then from
white to black, as well as in the sec
ond complete change, Mrs. Massey
says she noticed an itching sensation
of the skin before the appearance OF
the spots dark or light as the case
might be. IT,
Z Although she has not as yet noticed
the accompanying itching sensation
the appearance of the little spots on
the face has given her ground for fear
that the reverse process in the third
TRANSFORMATION may not be far off.

of their time.

PLAYGROUND ABOVE GRAVES.
Danvile FroIics Over the Tombstones
of Its Ancestors.

Danville, PAN the heart of this
borough there is situated a municipal
park beneath which are the graves Of
over 10000 dead. The park was for
merly a cemetery, established long be-
fore the revolution, when Danville was
a frontier post. In it lie buried all OF
the pioneers of this section. 1t was in
use as a burying ground over lOC
years and for at least 50,years was the
only cemetery within radius of 25
miles.
Comparatively few of the bodies
were removed to other burying grounds
when the graveyard became a park,
and on the remaining graves the
stones were laid fiat and covered. The
land has been graded and sodded,
trees planted. walks made, and the
play spot made a thing of beauty.
In the near future a monument to
the soldier and sailor dead of Nom
tour county, to cost $4,000, will be
erected in the park.

The city of Honolulu, looking from
the harbor, does not seem large,
though there is a population of $4,000.
The houses are SO EMPOWERED In lux
uriant foliage it is only occasionally
that roof may be seen peeping out.
As soon as the gang plank was out
q friend welcomed us with the beauti-
full but rather embarrassing Hawaiian
custom of throwing long wreaths
about our necks. These are made of
carnations, camelias or jasmine, with
glossy, green leaves. Women, who
make them, sit along the streets in
Honolulu with baskets of flowers and
completed wreaths beside them; their
fingers busily engaged in weaving
others. So universal is this custom
of wearing these fiowery adornments
that every native one meets has neck
and hat decorated with a fresh,
dewy wreath, Time was, no doubt,
when these were all of their adorn-
ing, but civilization has decreed few
additions to. such an airy, though, no
doubt, picturesque costume.
Our doubts as to the best method
Of seeing the sights were settled for
us by our friend, who had an automo-
bile waiting for us on the dock. The

subsequently anchored off the Nnbble
light while the promoters made good
business taking people out in Their
motor boats was towed out to sea and
dynamited.
Then came a surprise for the dyna
miters. The explosives went off all
right, but another effect than what
was expected followed, for the big
whale burst into sheets of flame. The
oil-soaked body burned fiercely al
night long, giving a remarkable effect
from shore, which was lined with spec
tators. The fire spent itself at late
hour in the morning.
