"KING OF TANNING ISLANDS,
Father Emmanuel Rouoier, Known by
the Above Title, Said to Be
Worth 100000

Father Emmanuel Rougier, known
in the South Pacific as king of the
Tanning islands," was among the pas
sengers on liner from Honolulu.
The islands Of Christmas and Fan
ming were sold recently by Father
Rougier to A British syndicate for
100000.
Il am still interested in Christmas
and Tanning islands, which | sold to
a British syndicate. They are now
being developed for copra on a large
scale" Father Rougier is the owner
of other coral dots in the far south
seas, which are rich in cVpra and
phosphates. and which he appears TO
dispose of as a real estate dealer
might a corner lot.
Father Rougier went to the south
Pacific islands as missionary quar-
ter of a century ago. His life's his
tory among the natives has been one
of adventure and evangelical work
among the wild tribes.
Father Rougier, who is said to be
worth more than 100000, is known
all through the south Pacific and
the antipodes, where he occasion
ally pops up after a quiet so1ourn in
Europe.
The romance Of the south seas
clings to him wherever he goes, and
although he makes frequent trips to
the outside world, he always returns
to the isle dotted waters Of the trop-
les.
1t is said that Father Rougier knows
more about the strange islands that
jut above the bosom Of the Pacific
south OF Honolulu than any other
white man who has been in the wa
tiers. He knows their location and
has visited the majority Of them. Fa-
Their Rougier wears the garb OF his
clerical vocation, whether in the cap
itals Of Europe or in copra grove OF
some distant islet.

MEAT SUBSTITUTES.

Beans Of different kinds are rich
foods and may be made into most pal
atable dishes. Soak pint Of lima
beans over night in cold water to

ed water until soft. Again drain and
dry in a towel, then saute in butter
until brown. Turn into q hot serving

cups of tomato sauce: Cook a quart
can Of tomatoes with two slices OF
onion, eight pepper corns and bit OF

tablespoonfUs Of butter, add three ia
blespoonfuls of -four and stir until

Although the credit for the first

there. In the early 4O's he thought
of the Pacific railway plan when
railroads were in their infancy. In
his little shop he gathered many of
the townspeOple and told them of his
plan.
Later he corresponded with Andrew
stewart, the congressman from his
district. Stewart showed the letter
to his colleagues, who thought favor
ably of the plan. 1t was decided that
the suggestion should come from a
western man, and Senator Benton
did this. and a few years later the
