The SERVANT problem" Is bad enough IN
America, and the experiences mistresses have
to relate are many and varied; but an Infinite
ly wider range of possibilities Is opened up
when mere mainland a bachelor at that
tackles the servant and other household prob
lens in an East African bungalow. Anything
can happen-and does happen!
Native house servants of a sort are plen-
tiful enough around the chief towns OF Brit
ish East Africa, Nairobi and Mombasa, and the
slightest rumor that the Muzungu (white
mani requires a boy or m'pezl (cook) fills
ones compound with cooks, generals" and
raw niggers, representing every tribe under
Africa's sun, a writer In the Wide World says.
The average bachelor contents bimself
with four servants-a head boy" a cook, a
toto (youth) to assist them, and a m'shenzi

ing, etc.
It is no easy task to make a selection from

documents, for 1t Is no unusual occurrence FOR

eminent. The coast territory Is formed into
the counties of E -,sa, Cape Palmas and Since,
with one superintendent each, and Montserra-
do, with four superintendent. The capital Is
Monrovia, named after President Monroe.
English money Is used, but American money
figures usually in the keeping of accounts.
There Is a Liberian coinage and a rather
large paper currency. The official language
of the country is English. The civilized In
habitants are orthodox Professionals, mostly
Episcopalians.
During the ffties and sixties of the last CEN
fury the Americo-L iberians did much to ex-
plore the interior and enter into treaty rela-
tionships with the native chiefs. But thirty
years ago their administration began to get
into financial difficulties. It is not an easy
thing to create a well-ordered, well-governed
state in tropical Africa without a consider
able capital to draw on. Consider for q mo-
ment what Great Britain has spent on Sierra
Leone since 1887, and on the Gold Coast wars,
the opening up Of Nigeria; or the outlay OF
France on Senegambia or Dahomey; and then
imagine how the government Of Liberia could
without any reserve Of capital bring law, order
and civilization into a densely forested terri
tory nearly the size Of England, with a prob
able population of over a million warlike saw
ages and semi-savages.
So long as Britain and France-the control
ling powers-contented themselves with the
mere occupation of a few coast towns on the
seaboard Of their West African dominions or,
protectorates, the Monrovia government could
afford to do the same. But when these great
European powers were compelled by force Of
circumstances to occupy and administer the
regions behind their coasts the Liberians
found themselves In a position of great diff
Guilty. They had been allotted theoretically by
France and England a considerable hinter-
land-more than $4,000 square miles-and
were held responsible for the doings of the
native tribes in that extensive interior. Now
these tribes had never been subdued by the
government of the republic. They were many
of them in treaty relationships with the Mon
rovia administration, and such Of them as had
heard of the civilized negro government on the
coast (aud it must be that much

tribes who for ages have been isolated in that
forest, and were-and are-quite ignorant OF
the world outside their tribal land) were quite
willing to regard the Liberians as the ruling
power on the seaslore. But they were very
disinclined to obey orders from Monrovia II
contrary to their own desires.
The tribes farthest inland looked upon the
British and French-the white men"-as az
gressors who were putting down by force a
most lucrative slave trade, who were forcibly
disclosing the secrets of sacred streams like
the Niger near It's sources, who, in short, were
not only to be opposed, but whose organized
territories offered a most profitable field for
raids and robberies. More than this: the i'm.
port of guns, .gunpowder, rifles (above ALI and
alcohol was being restricted or forbidden by
the Europeans. The Liberian coast, especially
where 1t was slenderly guarded by the Libe-
rian administration, offered the one loophole
through which these forbidden goods might be
smuggled. Accordingly a great trade sprang'
up between these uncontrolled hinterland
tribes and the Kru people on the coast, who
affected a sort of detachment from the govern
ment by the. ~American-Negro republic. : In
these ways the Liberian hinterland became a
positive source Of danger and expense to the

or other these free negroes and mulattoes-
growing impatient of being taxed without rep
resentation-nust be provided for. So several
philanthropists, remembering Sierra Leone,
thought to promote by private enterprise and
philanthropy"a similar colony across the sea
which might provide for the return to West
Africa (whence most Of them had Gomez OF
the freed slaves Of the United States. Indeed,
there vas a strong disposition to adopt Sierra
Leone for this purpose, with the assent of the
British government; but the local authorities
of Sierra Leon showed themselves very averse
from receiving American negroes, who might
owe a divided allegiance.
Accordingly the American founders Of Ill
IBERIA" (this name was not given to the infant
state until 1S24)-who were mostly white men
with a few mulattoes and egroes-selecte
the Grain Coast, Immediately to the south and
east of Sierra Leone, for their experiment.
1t was some weeks before the hostility Of
the natives, who were welded to the slave
trade, could be overcome, but in 1922 active
operations were begun. A thirty-acre tract
was allotted to each man with the means Of
cultivating 1t. The National Colonization soci-
ety's agents became discouraged at the diff.
culties that were met and returned to Ameri-
ca with a few faint-hearted ones; but the
others rallied about a determined negro, Elijah

larged by the addition Of new tracts. New
settlements were afterward formed at Cape
Monte and in the newly acquired Bassa Land,
in which, in 1884, a town was founded and
called Edna, In acknowledgment of pecuniary
aid sent from Edinburgh. Many Of the neigh
boring chiefs were received into the colony,
and others were subdued. Trials of many
kinds, deprivations and dissensions were the
lot Of the colony, managed by a society which
did not fully know whether it's aims were SEN
timental or practical. In 1S47 Liberia was
left to It's own resources and declared an indie
pendent republic. The colony Immediately be-
gan to show more prosperity, numerous
churches and schools were founded, newspa-
pers were established, and slavery in the
neighboring states was abolished. The first
president Of Independent Liberia was Roberts,
an octoroon. He was a most able and cour-
ageous man and the country made rapid
strides in civilization and other material lines
