delicate sprays of deepest crimson and
rose PINK.
A touch on your shoulder causes
you to turn and discover Soil, a pri-
vileged character, a stalwart half max
ed and prodigiously oiled Samoan of
six feet three in his bare feet, who has
noiselessly approached you. His hair
like the others is cut short but is tho
roughly plastered up with white lime,
undergoing the dyeing process. A
large red double hibiscus held in place
by the dry lime hangs above his ear,
and as he bitches up and retwists his
scarlet print lava-lava, you inhale the
perfume of pungent blossoms and Co
coanut oil with which he has anointed
his hands and arms.
Frankly smiling he greets you, and,
without trace of humility to mar his
admirable hauteur, he unties a white
silk handkerchief upon which are
strung a number of quaint rings made
of tortoise shell inlaid with silver, in
Characteristic designs, which, consid-
ering the stone implements used, dis
play marvellous workmanship and
skill.
You are interested and charmed with
these quaint and curious forms of Is
land jewelry, but fearful of the price,
you modestly select less ornate ring,
trying lC upon your finger as you IN
qulre the price. But when you are
told that It is only sixpence, or twelve
and half cents, you select three or
four at the price of two or three shill-
ings each wherewith to rejoice the
hearts Of your girl friends at home.

You lean over a trifie, anxious to
see what form temptation takes to the
Samoans, and see the steward holding
up a sun-burned straw hat and a shirt
which from its color and texture
seems to have been washed many
times.
(Which one you like?' he calls out
to the girl.
The man who has hitherto been
sitting motionless at the other end of
the canoe bends forward eagerly and
exchanges a few words with the girl.

finally, and the steward ties it to a
long rope and let's it down to the
canoe. The tapa is then tied to the
rope in its place and the bargain is
complete.

hpholds a basket of coral. One Of the
lady passengers who has recently join

man.
How much?" she inquiries, prob
ably more in pity for the woman.
She as surprised upon being inform
ed in quavering treble that it is
only one shilling, and opening her sat
chel she extracts a silver coin and ty
ing 1t in a corner of handkerchief
drops it over the side.
The canoes are chatting one another
now, packed in solid mass, The
coin falls into neighboring canoe and
is promptly delivered to its owner
Whereupon the woman extracts the
shilling, and after biting it once OIL
twice, slips it into the crevice of hel
ear, a convenient and safe pocket book
which cannot be lost or stolen!

into the basket of coral she attaches
it to the end of the dangling rope, anC
presently the steward arrives and pre-
sents it to your companion.

noses all turned toward the center.
Here is a picture indeed
Samoan men, graceful sturdy fell
lows, bare to the waist with gayly
lowered lava-lavas wrapped round
them from waist to knees, their hair
cropped short and brushed up on all
sides, and dyed a deep auburn, sit up
right in one end of their brown canoes
resting easily on their paddles while
smiling happy girls, or sullen women
squatted at the bow boldly or diffident-
ly offer their wares to the unlocking
passengers of the steamer.
The women are, for the most part,
large and majestically built, we'll pro-
portioned with a grace and bearing
entirely their own, and the soft ca
dences of their musical voices in a
gentle tone and strange tongue drift
up increasingly from below.
A steward in his white jacket leans
over the lower deck and shouts per-
emptory greeting to an attractive ma
tive girl who laughs unrestrainedly at
his banter, and lifts her eyebrows
naively at him in return.
How much is that big piece of tapa
down there?" he calls out pointing to
the edge Of it which hangs over the
canoe. mo, not that; the other one,
here this one right here" he explains
pointing at the tapa.
The Samoan girl only surmises, as
she notices the protruding bit, and
quickly spreads out the beautiful red
patterned table cover

below the balcony hang low weighted
with silver rivulets of rain which still
trickle down their unrent sides and
drop softly to the ground beneath. The
young cocoanut trees growing beside
them are fronded with sweeping, UNI
shattered, glistening branches, uniform
by violent winds, and dropping grace
fully on all sides. The breadfruit
trees are full leaved and wildly green,
their unblighted fruit weighing down
their branches, and family, almost inn
perceptibly, from the sweet damp
earth rises the fragrance of the wild
gardenia, while subconsciously the
spell of the tropics falls about you like
an enigma, and drowsy fascination
lures you as with half closed eyes you
look on over the span of water, with
the hushed breath of silence shroud-
ing the hills.

of two dollars, with his assurance that

hand and a sunshade in the other to-

You walk leisurely along the narrow
pathway almost trespassed by tangled

mountain side, while on the right the.
tiny riplets of the harbor wash Ian
guidly on the beach two feet away
from the road.
Now and then sharp ring of bell
gives warning of an approaching
bicyclist, and you step to one side in
order to let him pass. He may be a
U. S. sailor in his neat white suit and
nobby starched hat perched over one
ear, or a half naked Samoan, with his
print lava-lava tucked up round his
loins, and you cannot but smile at the
contrast as you resume your walk.
You pass, once, a well built pretty
home perched up above you on rocky
promontory, whose bare sides are en-
tirely concealed in tangled masses of
moss and trailing vines, which hang
down over every barren spot as though
nature would suffer nothing to mar
the exquisite beauty of the scenery in
these parts, and curiously seeking an
entrance to the abode on the crest
overhead you discover a tiny beaten
footpath between embankments of
tree ferns and star flowers which wind
hither and thither till it energies to a
neat gravel walk leading through the
garden. The home, you learn after

who has married a Samoan girl and
settled permanently for the remainder
of his days in Page Page.

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hanus were solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

That innate tendency on the part
of the fair consumer to flirt with fash

the uncertainties that have prevailed
during the month. There was such a
lack of confidence as to the ultimate

that buying was somewhat minimized.

RANGE CATTLE SCARCE
Minnehaha County Farmer Suggeste
Grazing on Shares

Sioux Falls-P. M. Thompson Of
Baltic was in the city yesterday en-
route to his home from visit with
his son at Hot Springs, S. D., where
the young man is in business.
While I was in the Hills" said Mr.
Thompson, Il met and talked about
the cattle situation, out there with
Thomas Ward of Dalzell, S. D., who
was formerly employed as foreman on
the G. X. Howard ranch, which prop
erty Mr. Howard has recently sold.
Ward told me that there are not
five hundred cattle left in the cattle
country, west OF the river. the cattle
men have been taking advantage OF
the high prices in the cattle market to
sell off their stock.
Ward also says that there is cause
for congratulation in the scarcity of
cattle in that section of the state this
fall, for the reason that there is very
little food on the ranges, the dry
weather of the early summer having
dried up much of the grass. 1t is a
good combinat on for the cattle man,
little food and high prices.
Mr.. Ward also says that if the men
in the east part of the state can ar
range with the owners of some of
that range land, to take cattle on the
share of the increase in weight plan,
and turn them loose on the ranges,
about the first of May next year, there
will be a great deal of money made
in the arrangement.
"Cattle would Craze for nothing, the
only expense being half the meat put
on each critter during the grazing
season. For instance if I send steer
out there weighing 1000 pounds on
the first Of May and after two months
on the grass she weighs 1900 pounds
l get the value of 1850 pounds of beef
and the man who owns the land upon
which he graZed, gets the value Of
$50 pounds, when the steer is sold
''It seems to me that the time for
we people who live in the eastern
part of the state to get into touch
with those men who own the grazing
land west of the river, is now and
that the farmers whose market VII

new packing house in Sioux Falls,
would want to take hold of the idea
of putting cattle on the range west
