Son of Former Confederate Expresses
Sympathy for the Aliens.

Hillsville, Va, March 28.-The pos
Sc of detective scouts who are ranging
the mountains for the Aliens are scar
ching for another person also. This
is John S. Mosby, Jr., of Washington,
d. c., son of Col John s. Mosby,
He is a magazine writer and being
familiar with the hill country he start
ed out on muleback Monday to see If
he could find the Aliens single handed.
Reports from houses in the wild
places visited since by detectives have
reached here and show that Mosby has
been letting everyone know his mis-
sion. According to the detectives he
has been "seditious," and they say he
has expressed great sympathy for the
outlaws and great contempt for the
detectives. Therefore the posse is
looking for him, too, with the avowed
purpose of driving him out of the
country. T. L. Felts, head Of the ag-
ency, seriously considers having Mos
by indicted on charge of impeding
the course of justice"
Two members of the Allen band Of
Hillsville courtroom assassins, one
dressed as woman, are believed to
have been seen Tuesday, in the Ida
neighborhood, among the foothills Of
the Blue Ridge mountains, in Page
county, according to dispatch from
Luray.
Before daylight Tuesday morning,
an ida farmer was awakened by the
barking of his dogs. Two strangers
were at his mountain folk be-
yond doubt. One Of them, the youn-
ger, wore petticoats but several days
growth of beard on his face made his
disguise absurd.
They wanted oil for lantern, and
declined the hospitality that is always
offered strangers in the mountains.
The oil being provided, a small dark
lantern was brought forth from va
Use. When the valfse was opened the
farmer saw that it contained several
revolvers and a plentiful supply of am
munition.
The strangers gruffly refused to an
swer questions, nor would they wait
for breakfast. The oil was all they
wanted, and having received it they
struck out again for the crest of the
Blue Ridge.

Hidden Women Of Persia.

Should the women Of Persia ever
get q vote, they will doubtless see
to It that the lot OF their sex Is con-
sidersbly improved. for at the pres
ent time they are regarded as non
entities. A husband In Persia never
speaks OF his wife to his acquaint-
ances, and, Il obliged to mention her,
it Is by some other term than wife,
as mother Of my son." Of my house"
She must not exist for anyone but
her husband and from all others she
must be hidden-non-e1isting. For
this reason when the harems of gov
errors or very high personages pass
through the streets of Persia the men
whom they meet either turn their
backs or slip down by-street or
into some convenient doorway.
On passing European, II sure that
one of her co-religionists see her, a
woman, particularly If she be young
and good looking, will often raise her
veil, from under which a pair Of dark
eyes follow the stranger with a curl
GUS gaze.

tanned BLACKS BY KINDNESS
Remarkable Success of Englishman
Who Manages an Island on the
Australian Coast.

J. Cooper, manager of Melville IS
land, on behalf of E. 0. Robinson, the
lessee, was in Melbourne this year.
Thirty-two years ago he went across
the Australian continent, south to
north, with horses. Ever since he has
been in the north, prospecting, stock
hunting and buffalo shooting.
Has shot and skinned countless buf.
falos. Lost count years ago as to how
many thousand. In the earlier days
all this hunting was on foot but now
it is on horseback Horsemen dash
into the herds and lay out the buff
faloes.
Cooper has administered Melville
island for many years. He has for a
long period been the only white man
on the island among numerous blacks.
Yet those blacks we're reported to be
desperately ferocious Sir G. Bremen
tried to make an English settlement
there in 1924 He had soldiers, but
the natives drove the party away.
In 1892 Robinson leased the island.
Subiugated by Kindness, and indeed
had practically no other weapon The
island is of 100000 acres, together
with Bathurst island, separated by
long narrow strait, forbade at one
end. At the other there is harbor
fit to receive a war fleet. Bathurst
is about five hundred thousand acres,
and the natives roam over both.
They number about five hundred
They have successfully repulsed the
Malayan and every admixture- Ap-
parently a separate type to the Aus
tralian in many respects.
About seventeen thousand buffaloes
on Melville island, and at least two
hundred thousand on the mainland OF
Australia. All descend from sixteen
buffaloes placed by Bremen on the IS
land and sixteen on the mainland.
II is stated that buffaloes has swum
across the intervening thirty miles.
Melville island is only that distance
from Port Darwin. What use
force could make of it! The natives
had never touched buffalo till
Cooper came. Now they have as mucn
beef as they can eat.
The island is splendidly watered
with ever flowing springs, which give
rise to fine creeks, and there are
couple of rivers. Altogether well
erased and timbered, with numerous
fertile valleys and much arabic land.
All experiments with tropical plants
have succeeded, but little has been
done beyond shooting about thou
sand buffalos every year for their
skins.-The Imperialist.
