through the throat of a squealing fat
pig would bring result At other
times a dog would be sacrificed. In
really serious cases, as for instance,
when one king wanted the support of
the war god in knocking off the head
of the neighboring king, venerable
human being would be led trembling
to the hillside altar and there pune
tured by the priests until he ceased
to gasp. AS interisland warfare was
conducted on a schedule such as is
arranged for baseball clubs, there was
seldom time when dead civilian did
not lie at the foot of the royal idol
The skulls of those who died as sac
rifice were, after a time, fastened to
pole tops and set up on the highway
along which the gods were supposed
to travel to show that everything had
been done to propitiate them. Elk
Queen Liliuokalani, who was the last
of the crown-wearing class in Hawaii,
on one of her visits to this country
said:
From barbarism to civilization was
just a step for the Hawaiians They
turned from the one and accepted the
other without any long intervening
period of gradual preparation
This is indeed a fact. The Hawai-
ians saw the light; one by one the
idols disappeared. and in a compare
lively short time a chief arose whose
power and influence put an end to the
semi-barbaric warfare which had been
quite the common thing
Queen Liliuokalani, or Lilly of the
Sea- occupied the Island throne when
it was toppled over and monarchy got
its final setback there. She was a
woman of characteristic Hawaiian
features, copper-co1ored. educated and

CORPORATIONS NO NEW THING
People Have Forgotten That This
Company Was Settled by Cor
porate Companies.

1t is a fact, though people have for
gotten it, that this country was colon
lied by corporations, says Business. 1t
was set going by monopolies. The
colony at jamestown was planted in
1907 by the London company, which
was a corporation.
The colonists who landed at Ply
mouth Rock were sent out by the Ply
mouth company, which was a corpora
ton. The pioneers who settled Bos-
ton represented the Massachusetts Bay
company, which was a corporation.
And so on down the list of American
colonies.
Even after they cut loose from Eng
land the Americans created their state
governments after the pattern of these
British corporations. Whoever would
understand fully a state and its form
of organization must dig up the his
tory of the Massachusetts, Bay COM
pany and the other corporations that
fourished when George Ill was king.
But these corporation died out, or
were bought out, as the colonies grew
large and independent, and for time
there were practically no corporations
at all. In 1890, for instance, there were
only three banking companies of any
kind in the whole United States.
The first corporations were start
ed in a blaze of patriotism after the
war of 1912. At that time the United
States was mainly a farming country.
1t bought its manufactured goods from
| England. It's clothes, its boots, its
books, its tools. it's furniture, all came
| from England
This was an intolerable situation
when the United States and the Eng
lish were at war. and so a tremendous
| effort was made to secure Industrial
independence. Stock companies were
formed English goods were boycott
| ted Factories were built The frs
wave of business enterprise swept over
the young country and wherever II

THE ROMANCE
OF YOUNG
JAY GOULD

When she had obtained divorce she
lived for several years in comparative
retirement, devoting herself to the
education of her children About ten
years ago Mrs. Graham married HUI
bert Vos, the Dutch portrait painter.
Mrs vos's portrait in her Hawaiian
costume is familiar in exhibitions of
the painters canvasses.
Miss Graham, who, on April 81, in
ST. Thomas's church, will become the
wife of Jay Gould, is, like her mother,
of the exotic type of beauty. She is
finely educated and possesses mod
est fortune The language of Hawaii
is not unfamiliar to her. She knows
the story of the islands like a book
She knows the Hawaiian traditions
and it's quaint mythology.
Princesses have always been credit
ed with possessing mysterious infiu-
ence with the gods who, according to
the simple natives, rule over the ISL
ands of the sea. When Capt. Cook, the
British globe girdler, discovered the
Hawaiian Islands in the closing days
of the eighteenth century nearly every
island in the group had its own
breech-clouted potentate. They were
as fine lot of South Sea knights as
could be found anywhere. They wor-
shipped idols that were as ugly as
those of China. If the wind didn't
blow from the right direction or king
was annoyed with an ingrowing toe
nail or other ailment the attaches of
the kings household, supplemented by
a lot of copper-colored priests, would
say things to the idols, and if the idols
didn't appear surprised they would
know that the gods must be appeased
There were various methods of do
ing this. Sometimes thrusting a blade

ORIGIN OF CLASSIC YELL
"She Burns Green" Expression of
Aaron Winters Who Discovered
Borax in Death Valley.

Although the prospector Is generally
supposed to be associated with the
search for precious metal his attention
is by no means confined to that. A
writer tells of a group Of valuable
claims in the Silver mountain mining
district, which includes the whole of
Black mountain.
1t was long considered worthless un-
til an up-to-date prospector recognized
it as Cement rock" the principal in
gredient from which portland cement
is made.
Another example is furnished by the
discovery of borax in Death valley,
one of the most valuable strikes ever
made in California. The discoverer,
Aaron Winters, was at that time living
in a lonely little shack on the Amar-
gosa flats at the south end of the val
ley.
Thither, attracted by the light, came
one night vagrant prospector from
Nevada. He had with him a sample of
borax brought from a small deposit
across the border. This Winters in
stantly recognized as being the same
curious stuff which he had seen 1y-
ing in great beds in Death valley,
but of which he had never known the
name.
Adroitly questioned, the wanderer
explained to Winters the simple but
little known test for borax- No Soon
er was their visitor safely gone than
Winters and his wife, carrying food
and water, a pick, a saucer and a bot
tie of alcohol, set out on foot north
ward into the valley. At nightfall the
next day they arrived at the frat of
the strange beds.
Without even waiting to moisten his
parched throat Winters fell upon it with
pick and bare hands till little of the
surface crust was removed. He scraped
up handful of the loose stuff, piled it
in the saucer, moistened it with al
cohol and struck match. An instant
later he hurled his hat in one direc-
ton, his pick in another, and Selling
his wife, waltzed that astonished lady
round the strange, Pickering flame
| whooping:
She burns green, Rosie, She burns
greeni"
Winters realized a fortune from his
| discovery. Even today the man of the
valley lighting upon something new
| heralds his find with the classic yell:
'She burns greenI"-Los Angeles

Dare to Be Happy,

Let us never be afraid of innocent
joy; God is good and what he does is
well done; resign yourself to every
thing, even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, of detachment, of
remuneration, and above all, for the
spirit of joy and gratitude, that gen.
uine and religious optimism which
sees in God a Father, and asks no
pardon for his benefits, We must
dare to be happy and dare to confess

according to the royal who's who of
Hawaii-of the last reigning family.
Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii,
is her remote cousin. She is the
daughter of Princess Kaikilani. Her
father was Douglas Graham. The mar
rage of Graham and the princess was
something of a college romance.
Young Graham was student at
Princeton, and among his classmates
was Hawaiian prince who was NOV
ing toward the theological field. The
elder Graham, who was junior partner
in Hartley & Graham, the famous firm
of gunsmiths, took an interest in the
young Hawaiian and arranged with
him to become a companion of his
classmate in a tour of the world. Nat
urally the tourists visited Honolulu,
where the youth was received by the
royal family. He was presented to his
classmates sister. the young and beau
tiful Princess Kaikilani, and they fell
in love with each other. Before an
other year had passed the Princeton
youth had proposed to the Hawaiian
maiden and she accepted him.
How are you going to arrange it?''
asked one of Graham's college chums.
.sShe is a princess. and YOU
tAnd l am Princetonian," he inter
rupted. THAT makes it all right Any

Following the marriage. which was
attended by representatives of the
royal family of Hawaii, Graham and
his island princess came to New York
to live Their home for some years
was in the fashionable old part of
West Twelfth street Whenever
Hawaiian dignitaries came to New
York they were Hospitality entertained
there, and on several occasions Mrs.
Graham gave little parties modelled
after native celebrations, to which

The rest was easy.
OF course, Jay Gould didn't know at
first that the pretty maid in the flower
booth at the Actors Fund Fair was
little princess. He wasn't bothering
his head about that, but he did know
right away that her black eyes snapped
roguishly, that she smiled sweetly and
that her voice was like music in his
ears when she asked: Who'll buy my
roses?" He very promptly assured
her that he'd buy 'em. Thereupon he
became a regular, almost persistent
cash customer. He purchased bouton-
nieres, bouquets and baskets, singly

entire week he lived in the perfume
