Alternately, who did not try to re-

several months later. Then he found
the uncle and aunt had moved from
Los Angeles, leaving no trace of their
whereabouts. Here began the long

OFTEN EATA SOLDIER FOR BREAKFAST
Conditions Are Terrible in North
Nigeria, Which Is Inhabited BY
One of Most Depraved Races.

One of the most depraved races is
chat which inhabits northern Nige-
ria, situated in Central Africa and
fronting on the Gulf of Guinea, an
arm of the Atlantic ocean. One of
these tribes is known as Wurkum,
and they occasionally capture and
eat a British soldier when the fancy
takes them. Recently they surprised
and killed seven English troopers and
then devoured them. For this a
punitive expedition was fitted out by
the British which revenged itself
upon the cannibals.
The country is supposed to be run
by the British, but occasionally the
savages take it into their hands to
do things to their liking, and as a
result they feast upon soldier of
the king The natives are of the
lowest type, filthy and sinking so
that a European cannot stand near
them more than a second or two.
They are nude and in every way dis
gusting. They eat one another when
pressed for food. Occasionally the
relocated conqueror rounds up the
foe and gives him battle, killing half
a hundred in this way and leaving
the carcasses for Nigerians to de-
your. Even when working in the
fields the natives are armed with
spears and shields. There is a great
deal of fighting among the natives
Nearly all of it is caused by the wo-
men, and the common practice OF
taking wives without payment. There
exists among certain of the tribes
custom of regular exchange of wives
which leads to many complications.
These pagans believe in the trans
migration of souls, a man being re-
born by the same mother after death
An evil mans soul becomes witch
whose fate is death by burning. II
some cases they worship a deity, who
at their religious celebrations, is rep
resented as armed with a long horn
which he blows at intervals. Some
times this deity is fully clothed, OF
other occasions he is absolutely nude
One of the pagan deities kills al
women who see him. At a place
called Bashima was seen an lro1

FINDS BOY STOLEN IN 1906.
An Incident Growing Out of the
Frisco Earthquake.


Clyde Alternately, the 6-year-old
son of d. M. Alternately, who was
taken from San Francisco after the
earthquake of April 10, 1906, was
recovered by his father the other day
in Chicago. The recovery of the boy
ended a search extending over almost
the entire United States and several
cities in Mexico and Central America
While San Francisco was burning
a brother of Mr. Abernathey's wife
took the child with him for asfe-
keeping. The brother promised also
to look after the mother, who was
injured, but in the confusion attend
ant upon the disaster the mother
was lost. When Mr.. Alternately
found her among the injured at one

conditions had assumed a normal

TAKE ANDERSONVILLE LAND
Is What the WOman's Relief Corps
of the. Grand Army Wants the
United States to Do.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Another
effort is to be made soon to have the
house pass bill authorizing the &C
ceptance by the United States gov
eminent from the Woman's Relief
Corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army
of the Republic, of a proposed gift
of land near the Andersonville Ma
tional Cemetery, Georgia. A similar
bill passed the senate previously, but
failed in the house.
The Grand Army of the Republic
in Georgia bought the grounds of the
Andersonville prison, containing sew
enty-three acres, and has expended
$1,000 in improvements. They then
offered it to the WOmans Relief
Corps, free of debt, and since that
time several efforts have been made
to have the government accept it.
The states of Massachusetts, Ohio,
Michigan, Rhode Island and Wiscon-
sin have erected on these grounds
monuments dedicated to the memory
of the soldiers from those states who
were buried in Andersonville GEM
etery. In the excavations for the
foundation for these monuments the
remains of many buried soldiers were
found.
Immediately after the holiday re-
cess a determined effort will be made
to have the house pass the bill now

ance of this property by the govern
ment, but it is likely that such au-

CONSUMPTION OF MILK.
The American Cow Furnishes co.
100000 Quarts Day.

The American Cow Furnishes co.
100000 Quarts Day.
Only one-third of the milk pro-
duced daily in this country is con-
sumed in its original form, the re-
mainder being converted into butter
and cheese, and yet we drink about
2O,000,000 quarts a day, states the
New York Times. This means that
the American cow furnishes us with
no less than 60,000,O00 quarts a day.
The significance of these figures
becomes apparent when it is consid-
cred that enough milk is produced
to give quart day to every five
persons. The figures also suggest
why it is that America is nation of
farmers. 1t takes a good many mil
lion farm hands to milk the cows
which give us 60,000,00O quarts of
milk day, and yet this is only one
branch of farm work.
In other countries cows milk is
not relied upon to the extent it is
in America. Thus in the hilly dis
tricts Of Europe goats milk is used
almost exclusively, while buffalos
milk is used in India; the llama S
milk in South America; camels milk
in the deserts; mares milk in the
steppes of Russia and Central Asia,
and reindeer's milk in the Arctic re-
giOns. The cows of the Channel is
lands are by far the best cream-pro-
ducing breeds, giving a milk rich in
