The American Colonization Society pro-
posed to him about this time to take
charge of ship which it intended to
send out to Africa to procure new terri
tory for It's colony of blacks. The first
colony had been planted in an unhealth-
full spot and all the coionists had per-
ished. The United States was the only
nation that had declared against slave
trading. Portugal and Spain were es-
pecially active in the commerce of human
beings, taking great numbers of negroes
from Africa to Central and South
America.
To go to Africa and establish a black
republic just suited the adventurous
young man, and he sailed away to Sierra
Leone. There he was informed that sew
eral hundred miles away there was a
fine, fertile upland country, but in the
possession Of warlike chiefs Many ef-
forts had been made by various nations
to obtain possession of it by purchase
or by treaty. but without avail. When
Stockton reached this territory he found
1t all it had been described. The natives
were ruled by head men. and the head
OF these head men was known as King
Peter. The natives made raids into the
interior and proved upon their less war
like neighbors selling them into slavery.
Stockton disguised the real object of
his mission and began trading with the
mead men until he got on good terms with
them. Then he gradually presented to
them the advantages of having the coun-
try inhabited by civilized negroes, who
would bring commerce. civilization and
comforts to the land. He made so good
an impression by his arguments that he
finally got to a point where a meeting
was arranged between him and King
Peter, but when the day for the meeting
arrived he was told King Peter had gone
to his stronghold, twenty miles in the in
terror. The only word the king left was
that Stockton might follow If he dared
The only companion Stockton had was
a missionary who acted as Interpreter,
but he did not hesitate a minute. The
way to King Peters stronghold Law
through swamp and Jungle Stockton had
all the difficulties Of tropical travelling
on the trip. but finally he reached King
Peters fort. The king received him
harshly demanding to know why Stock
ton had followed him. The king said
he considered Stockton had offended
against royal dignity and should be chas-
tiSed.
In King Peters retinue was muIatto
who had travelled to the United States
and elsewhere and who was more in
telligent than King Peter or any other
of the head men. He was chief adviser
to the king.

He was a great admirer of Andrew Jack

he got to act like him. he got to think

man September 1. 1911, when he was
fifteen years old. and was ordered to

February IA. 1872. There We're all sorts
of rumors of war in those days. Great
Britain and France had taken men OF
American vessels and were impressing
them into their service. The whole coast
of the United States was patrolled by
British warships. The President cruised
along the coast until June / and then re-
turned to New York.

Telephones in the AdIrondackS.

New York is using the telephone this
season TO protect the beautiful Adiron-
dack region from the forest fires which
last year proved very disasterous in the
upper part of the state, and to afford
greater degree of convenience to the
many city people who find the Adiron

has charge of installing the protective
mountain telephone system which, il is
believed, will be a great benefit 10 that
section.
The idea of using telephones as nm
aid in fighting forest fires Is by no
means new one. The United States
Government already has an extensive
system Of mountain telephones in the
National Forests, over which IT holds
sway. Already many disastrous fires
have been checked by the aid that has
been brought through the use of the
telephone in the National Forests Of
far west. The Governments system
of forest telephones was installed by
the Western Electric Company, which
is also furnishing the telephones and
