A Story of Feejee-

to use it. So Telebu left the ship with a
rife and good supply of ammunition
Now, Telebu had a mortal enemy, another
chief named Kombawa, to whom he sent
word that he was coming to fight him. That
was perfectly satisfactory, KoRibawa assured
the messenger, and. picking up his war-ciub,
he gathered his followers together and was
soon on one side of a ravine, while Telebu,
armed with his rifle, stood on the other,
very fluent speaker and had at his com
mand choice collection of epithets, which
he applied to Telebu. -
Waving his war-club above his head, he
told Telebu that he was a coward, that he
was afraid to fight with brave men, and
that ne lKombawa) proposed to kill him.
Telebu listened very quietly, and, when his
adversary had got through, he raised his rifle
to his shoulder, took steady aim, fred, and
Kombawa fell dead -
The affair made a great sensation ON the
islands, and doubtless if a newspaper had
been published there, it would have been full,
OF the story; Public opinion condemned the

KombGwa, but, what was much worse, he

deadly combat; he might be killed as Kom-

gone forever.
Telebu now led a very wretched life. He
was jecIed at by the islanders. and even his
own followers upbraIded him so persstentIy
that seeing no other way Of getting rid of
them, he died. But thai was the end of

Odd Tales About
Animals

@0 ONE who knows nothing of big
game n is amazing to see how fast
moose can run, his stride being
much longer than a horse. A light
- freight train was running on the
Northern Pacific in the upper part
of Minnesota, when the engineer saw a big
moose standing directly on the track, and
as soon as the ANIMAL saw the engine he took
to his heels down the track. There was n per-
-fectly straight run for four miles. and the
engineer determined to test the speed of the
moose, of which he had frequently heard.
At first the gait of the moose was a sort
Of a trot, and even when the engine gained
speed the animal did not seem 10 exert itself.
Faster and faster sped the engine but still the
moose trotted ahead, and all the power
of steam could not prevail over this monarch
of the forest. At last. after covering four
miles and turning a curve, they came upon a
moose leaped the track and was lost to
view in the forest.
There is a strong feeling of pity among
birds, and sometimes they are rs charitable as
men. A pair of robins had their nest in a
fence near a house, while a pair of catbirds
had buit theirs in a bush close by. The two
pairs Matched out their young at the same
time, and for a while everything went along
snioothly Then At was noticed that the rob
was that they had been killed. The young
robins dependent on their parents for food,
appeared to be starving, and when the cat
birds came with a worm or bit of food for
thelT young, the robins would thrust up their
heads and make great noise Presently it
was observed That the catbirds were feeding
The hungry orphans. and every night. while
one OF the catbirds covered its own Young.
ITS mate performed the same service for the
little robins. In this way both broods were
reared, the robins growing up as strong and
lively as though they had been cared for nv
their own parents.

- civiizing them, at one time there
were bitter feuds among the chiefs,
and, strange to say, they were brought to an
end by the introduction of firearms.
This may sound contradictory because we
know that when the red men of our own
country succeeded in arming themselves with
rifles they fought Oftener and became more
dangerous than ever. Exactly the opposite,
however. occurred in Feejee, and this is the
story:
The islands are greatly cut up by deep ra-
vines. and when feud between two tribes
was in progress, chief Of one of the tribes
would stand on one side of rayine and his
enemy on the other, their followers backing
them up in great numbers. Then-the chiefs
would start in and abuse each other in the
most vigorous Feejean, and challenges and
counter challenges to mortal combat flew
back ana forth across the ravine.
Ii was an awe inspiring sight when the
chiefs brandished their war-cmbs and leaned
ints the air, with yells Of defiance. Their
eyes flashed and their visages became fero
cious; but, as they could not get at each
other across the rayine, no blood was shed
and war would sometimes last six months
without anybody being hurt
One day, whaling vessel anchored off the
islands, and a chief named Telebu iumncd
into his canoe. and went out to the sbD to
see the captain and find out if they could do
any trading
The captain had some rifles on board
which Telebu looked at with much interest
He offered to buy one, and the captain
agreed to sell it. and showed the chief how

make some disposition Of the children.
From South Dakota there came an
uncle Of the children. The Judge who
had Jurisdiction In the matter. ordered
that North Dakota man be appoint
ed guardian OF the children. The uncle
knew only Mr.. Frasch. having been ac-
quainted with him in South Dakota
Accordingly the latter was notified by
phone and he went to Underwood. The
six children ranged in age from 3 to 1e
years. 1t was decided to place the
children in the homes OF relatives In
South Dakota. Then the older chill
dren refused to go, and the neighbors
wanted to keep them there. However,

WHAT'S IT WORTH
DRIVE OUT Bugs?

Minot. N. d., Dec. 11.-How much is
1t worth to drive bedbugs out of a ho-
tel?
This is one of the questions involved
in the suit of Olaf Olson VS.. Jourgen
Olson which il on trial In the district
court.
Olaf is suing Jourgen for something
like $1,000 for rent, while Jourgen
was proprietor of the hotel, and Jour-
gen has put in counter claim for
driving the bedbugs out Of the hotel
and similar services.
Olaf claims that Jourgen's charge is
excessive, and the court will probably
have to determine the reasonableness
or unreasonableness OF the charge,
bearing in mind the rule of reason laid
down by the supreme court of the
United states.
