FIJI ISLANDERS MAKE
KING OF A COWBOY
Cowpuncher with star-Tattooed Face
Returns Home--His Mate Is
Created a Prince

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2O.-Joe Carr
and Edward Burns, after being gone
six years. passed through here on
their way to the Texas Panhandle,
where they expect to return to their
cowboy lives. In their absence OF SIX
years they were cowboys In Australia
and shipwrecked on one of the FIJI
the other prince.
That they will never forget their ex-
perience among the savages is evil
denced by the fact that Carr. who was
made king, has stars tattooed on his
forehead, chin and both cheeks. Burns,
who was simply a prince, has single
star on his forehead.
Six years ago two adventurous cow
boys, firing of the life on a Texas
range. decided to go to Africa. From
South Africa they went to Australia.
They enjoyed the herders' life on the
big cattle ranges there, made some
money, but finally decided to return
to the country of their BIRTH
They took passage In a tramp vessel.
When near the Fiji islands their
vessel was wrecked in a storm and
they found themselves in a boat with
two sailors. Two days later they made
land and were received by grotesque
assembly of savages.
The quartet of whites had rifle and
three revolvers and several rounds of
ammunition handy, but they soon as
certained that the attitude of the ma
tives was friendly. The savages rallied
them as superior beings, and, taking
this as their cue, Carr was bowed 10
by his companions who also bowed
to Burns. This established the class of
Carr and Burns.
From that time on Carr was the
king of the island and Burns was the
prince All four were taken in great
state to the village half a mile from the
beach, where a big feast was held in
their honor. Carr was seated on
throne and was presented with feathers
and bits of metal.
II had a happy reign so far as alb
sence of trouble was concerned" said
Carr at the union depot. "The natives
were as obedient as the best reared
children. We had plenty of fish and
game for food, but with nothing to do
but watch for sail the time certainly
was lonesome.
1--WE kept a signal flying by day and
for the first few months we kept bea-
cons burning at night. 1t was almost
two years, though, before tramp ship
came our way. Both Burns and 1 by
this time had been decorated with tat
tooing such as you see on my face
which indicated our rank.
"Our skins were almost black and
when the boats crew came ashore they
had to examine us closely before feel
ing satisfied that we were really white
men. 1t took us several months to get
back to this country, but here we are,
and here we are going to stay"

Charcoal the
Great Absorbent
AbsOrbs and Removes Stomach and
Intestinal Gases and Makes
the Breath Pure

The able researches of DR.. STEM
house, published about the middle of
the last century, excited considerable
interest In charcoal and its wonderful
absorbing powers. His experiments
were directed to the deodorizing as
well as the absorbing qualities of char
coal, and he succeeded in proving be-
yond all question of doubt that its
properties of destroying the offensive
odors of putrid vegetable and animal
matter depended, not alone upon It's
antiseptic power, as had been gener-
ally supposed heretofore, but also on
its quality of absorbing and oxidizing
elfluVia or noXious eXhalations from
the putrefying matters
Many other noted physicians have
since that time investigated this abb
sorbent and oXidiZing action, and one
of them, DR.. Hunter, has also published
an account of his experiments, show
ing the relative amount of the vari-
Gus gases taken up by the different
kinds of charcoal.
Both Stenhouse and Hunter expert
mented with charcoal made from pop
lar lockwood, cocoanut shells, willow
wood and various other woods, and
thew found that charcoal made from
willow wood possessed by far the most
power of absorbing, deodorizing, oXis
dizing and destroying foul gases. 1t
may De auueu lSI6 liil eliillAlti SAol
coal, which is employed so extensively
as q decolorizing agent, is very in
ferior to wood charcoal as an absorb
ent and deodorant.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are COM
nosed of charcoal made from tho nm
est willow wood, the very best OF all
woods that can be used for this pur-
nose. The addition of pure honey to
these lozenges renders them so pala-
table that no one can possibly object
to their taste.
When they are taken into the stom-
ach they do not lie inert and inactive,
but get busy at once in the good work
of absorbing and oXidizing all foul
gases. destroying disease germs, pre-
Venting the further formation of gases,
stopping fermentation. flatulence and
decomposition of food and cleansing
the stomach walls Of catarrhal mucus.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are in
troduced into the system by being al
lowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth
where their cleansing action begins,
wandering the breath pure and sweet,
destroying any germs existing in the
mouth and removing tartar from tne
teeth.
cali up your druggist over the phone
and ask him his opinion OF the power
of charcoal as a stomach cleanser, gas
absorbent and breath purifier; then
request him to send you box OF stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges for 20 cents.

BABIES RULE ROOST
AT BROADWAY STORE
NEARLY 1000 LITTLE ONES
RECEIVE SOUVENIRS
Small People Realized That They
Were Having a Good Time
and Did Not
Cry

It was baby" day at the Broadway
department store yesterday and nearly
two thousand babies, from wee bits
of humanity to strong, lusty-lunged
youngsters, with their mothers were
guests of Arthur Let's at his annual
doll tea"
1t was a pretty scene as the babies
seated about in a veritable toyland
"goo-gooed" and clapped their tiny
hands in expectation and admiration
of the dolls and other toys dear to the
hearts of youngsters.
For a few minutes there was a hush
as the babies gazed with awe, mingled
with fear and bashfulness, at the be-
wildering display, but soon the novelty
wore away and the youngsters realized
that the occasion was arranged for
their benefit and entered into it with
enthusiasm.
To many Of the youngsters it was
indeed a rare treat, the first time they
had seen toys in such wonderful va
riety, or perhaps toys of any kind.
After feasting their eyes on the large
stock Of dolls recently arrived from
the east, the babies feasted on cookies
and delieacies and slipped tea, while
the mothers partook of light refresh
ments.
The happiest moment of their little
lives was when each one was present
ed toy as a souvenir of the Broad
way department stores doll tea"
A wonderful feature of this great
gathering of nearly 1000 babies
was the absence of crying or uneasi-
ness, for the little people seemed to
realize it was their day and that they
should be happy, and as more than
OF Cha IaFf
the store, "If the babies would only be
as good every day in the week, the
mothers would indeed be happy"
During the afternoon selections were
rendered from "Babes in Toyland" by
carrico's orchestra.

mother of State Senator Patrick H.
MeCarren collapsed today on learning
of the death of her son, and this after
noon her physician said her condition
was critical. Mrs. McCarren is S4
years old.
Keen interest in the choice of a

NEIGHBORLINESS.

That neighborliness has become
practically a lost art as far as large
cities are concerned seems certain.
Where people are packed in the dense
centers of population and daily mix
in the hurry burly of modern life
they have little time and little incli-
nation to become acquainted with
neighbors When the subject of
neighborliness was discussed recently
by Chicago Woman's Club it was
decided that its decline is due to the
conditions of city life rather than to
any change in the character of the
people.
Happily in towns and small cities.
people still have an opportunity 10
become acquainted with and TO as
sociate with fellow residents. One of
the blessings of life in a little city,
such as Pendleton, is this very thing.
People like to be sociable. They like
to know their neighbors and to be
known by them. The average man or
woman is willing to go part way at
least in following the scriptural ad-
to love they neighbor as
thyself.

FRIENDS AND FOES.
> 'sssssssssssssss =

Following their usual course OF
distorting the truth, the legislators
and papers opposing the normal
schools now try 10 lay at the door of
the normal school people the failure
Of the legislature to pass a bill main
tanning the schools until June.
In an interview with Senator Cole
the local morning paper places the
blame for the defeat of the mainten.
ance appropriation upon Representa-
tive Barrett. The interview passes
lightly over the fact that the senate's
maintenance bill provided for the
complete killing of the entire normal
school system at the close of the
school year By opposing the SEN
ate's doctored measure the friends of
the normals saved the schools from
death.
Under the circumstances it is de-
cidedly bad grace for Senator Cole or
for the morning partisan organ to
charge Representative Barrett with
being unfaithful to the normals- He
was faithful to the normals first, last
and all the time. So was Senator
Smith. Representatives Mann and
Mahoney were also normal school
men.
But not so Senator Cole. Though
a senator from this county, though
the Weston normal people expected his
full support, as they had a right to
expect, he went back upon the school
when the hour of trial arrived. In
preference to representing his own
constituents he Joined hands with the
Oregonian- -Bowerman clique in Will
flying the normals and in trying to
kill them off That this attempt did
not succeed is due to the good work |
done by such men as Senator Smith, !
Representative Barrett and other leg
islators who were friends of the nor
mails through thick and thin.
The attempt to muddle the situa-
tion by making it appear that the nor
NAL legisltors were responsible for
the defeat Of the maintenance bill
will fail. The normal school people
know their friends and they know
their foes.
