THE GRAND REPUBLIC.

Sam Howard, he heard Were afire!"
And he signalled back quick from
his post:
Don't worry; I'll stick,
Though the smokes getting thick
And | reckon I'm booked for a
roast"
Then he opened the throttle still
wider,
As the steamer rushed straight for
the shore,
And he stuck till the dock
She had reached with a shock;
Then he sank, limp and weak, on
the floor.
And they carried him out and they
showered on his head
Wild plaudits: but Sam, with a blush,
only said:
"Pshaw! It's better to die at your
post
And take what you have to with
grit
Than TO face the world after
And stand for the laughter
And scorn for the fellow who quilt"
That's pretty sound sense from Sam
Howard,
Good logic for one and for all
When faced by disaster
lust show you're the master;
Stick tight. though you see you
Z. must fall!
The world may not count you a hero,
May say 1t was all in your work;
but IL sure hates fellow
Who's any way yellow
And luathes like darnation a shirk.
So next time you're cornered just
clench your teeth tight
And think OF these words OF Sam
Howard and fight:
"Oh. it's better to die at your post
And take what you have to with
grit
Than TO face the world after
And stand for the laughter "
And scorn for the fellow who quit"

CANNIBALS PREFER
THE MEAT OF WHITES
David Paul Tells of Grewsome
FeastS in South Seas

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-Discussing the
story told at Victoria by DIR. Northcote
Deck, who found in the Solomon
islands remnants of the bodies of
Baron Won Norbek, the Australian
scientist, and his companions. eaten by
cannibals, David Paul of this city, who
has visited all parts of Australia, says
that cannibalism is still widely prev
alent in the south seas.
Since the Germans, French and Eng
lish have annexed various groups and
forbidden cannibalism the anthropo-
hagi are obliged to be more cunning,
and when they feast on human flesh
they retire to the mountains and leave
no trace of the banquet. Steaks are
cut from the, f1eshy portions of the
body and these steaks are fnclosed in
followed stones and roasted in Goals.
The arms and legs are stewed in pots.
The hands and feet are cut off and
thrown away and the head was for
merly suspended from a tree as dec
grafton.
Paul arrived at feasting ground in
New Guinea a short time after the
meal had been concluded and found the
bones of the arms, forearms, legs and
thighs of four natives picked clean.
The natives prefer whites as food, and
do not eat human flesh as a religious
rite, but because they consider it a
delicacy.
