strongest, and most savory venison, to-
gether with the aboriginal potato and
maize. or Indian corn, for their chief
food.
In the autumn the animals migrated
to warmer climates, and with their de-
parture fresh meat was not obtainable.
This led to the provision by the ma
tives of a preparation of buffalo meat
which was preserved for a great length
of time, and called by the natives of
South Africa "biltong." by the Indians
of South America 'tassaga," and by
the aboriginal natives of North Amer

trees, lines, poles, or brush to dry

meat also was shaved or scraped In

pounded into fine powder. Carefully

NINE. SIMONE WILL PLAY
GREAT ROLES IN ENGLISH

the eight or nine plays IN which she has

problem plays Of the most emotional

Il SHOULD like to play a simple, dainty
part" Nine. Simone explained. lust to
prove my theory that an actor or ac-
tress who can act well In tragedy can
appear acceptably In comedy. just as
contend one who can act modern plays
well can also act the parts in the
classic plays. That Is why / wanted
to play Andromaque. and because felt
and feel still that the old classics are
being presented very badly by actors who
mouth their lines and declaim too much
at the tops Of their voices. This has
become the classical tradition here, and
believe II Is one great reason why
people do not go to see the classics acted.
They must be got to go. though. for
those plays are the foundations Of all
our drama and are really more interest
ing often than these moderntplays. only
they are played In an unnatural way
that carries no conviction and they be-
come recitations instead of plays. The
critics were much incensed with me be-
cause / did not make Andromaque al

the character Is that however tragic

had loved, and who In the end makes

Thinking In bed and worrying about
ones business or domestic affairs Is one
of the worst and. unfortunately, one of
the commonest nervous maladies Of the
present day. It is habit which OFTEN
takes twenty years of mans life.
This was the strong opinion expressed
by a well-known doctor apropos of

traffic director of the Hartman lines,
who has announced his intention, to re-
tire next year.

Hundreds of men-and women. too, In

through the habit of worrying at night"
said the doctor.
IT call 1t a habit because men begin at
first to think and worry over things In
bed quite voluntarily. They chew over
their failures and their successes with
something akin to pleasure.
This worrying introspection becomes a
nightly performance. and soon It develops
into a definite nervous malady. You can

ODD SAMOAN MATS.

Among the curious customs of the Sa-
means is that Of making heirlooms OF
mats. By some simple process of reason
ing the mat has come to be identified
with the family, as the hearthstone Is
traditionally sacred among the saxon
race
The Samoan mats are really fine speci-
mems Of art. The people esteem them
much more highly than any article of
European manufacture. and the older
they are the more they are regarded.
Some Of them have names known all
over the Samoan group. The oldest Is
called Moe-e Fui-Fui. or '"The man that
slept among the creepers." 1t got this
title by reason Of the fact that II had
been hidden away for years among tho
creeping convolvulus that grows wild
along the seashore. It. Is known to be
two hundred years old. as the names Of
its owners during that period can be
traced.
The possession of one of these old mats
gives the owner great power; In fact, It
Is a title-deed to rank and property. from
the Samoan standpoint, says Harper's
Weekly. 1t Is no matter II the mats are
tattered and worn out: their antiquity is
their value. and for some OF the most
cherished Of them large sums Of money
would be refused.

actor? Some day I think It will be like
that on the stage As It is now the great
actors and actresses from France 60 to

SO that few persons can understand
them and they cannot tell whether they
are great or not from their point or

Three plays have been decided upon:

been played in America, but which has
been translated into English under the

of them were false. as 1t happened, but
the Sultan seldom took the pains to
prove whether they were fact or flc-
ton. Perhaps he could not have done
so to his satisfaction, even If he had
wished, for he distrusted everybody,

was always credulous Of reports against

Abdul Hamid's wonderful. spy system

to appreciate the value of the subtleties

secrets too deep for the masculine mind.

of them Were mistresses of the art Of

cred as a mark of distinction to re-
ceive such a gift from the Sultan. But

SECRETS OF SULTANS
MUCH-FEARED PALACE

Sultan Abdul Hamid had installed a
new tobacco cutter in Yildiz palace.
His name was Mustapha-
One day Nadir Agha. the second eu-
much, went to Mustapha to get a box
of tobacco for the monarch. Nadir
took the box to a stuffy little room,
where he found the Sultan lying on a
couch, listening to a slave who was
reading to him from a blood-curdling
novel. every page of which seemed to
be filled with horrors.
The eunuch bowed low and held out
the box. Abdul Hamids thin, white
hand reached out. took it, and eau
tiously lifted the cover. But it seemed
that he did not care to smoke, for
after peering inside for a moment with
an expression of deep concern he placed
the box on one side
Something in his masters action
aroused the eunuch's curiosity. That
night he chanced to find the tobacco
box lying on a table. He peered eau
tiously about. There was no one near.
He lifted the cover and peeped inside.
"Ah"' he gasped. and drew back with

Agha approached him. You may have

majesty. Take it and enjoy IT."
No sooner had, the eunuch left the
royal presence than he again lifted
the cover of the box and timidly peeped
within.
TT is gone" he muttered. But I
have seen It. I know now what Mus

Mustapha's mysterious tobacco boxes
continued to be received by the Sultan,
and the willy monarch never failed to
peer inside with the liveliest interest.
But 1t was noticed that he never
smoked the tobacco they contained.
