daughter.
put into the port OF Nagasak ia
September. 1909. said the captain.
"and bought the doh in a bazaar. soon
afterwards We were obliged 70 anchor
in Geelwinck bay. New Guinea, for re-
pairs.
For about fortnight we had daily
intercourse with a tribe OF Papuans
on the coast, and Z became very friend
" with a man named Tarvar.
This aroused the anger of the
chief. Katiak-Kho, who looked on our
friendship with Jealous eye. Tarvar
was very fond OF exploring the ship.
and was struck with admiration for
the doll the first time he came into
my cabin
CAS- the young fellow had been very
useful to me ] made him a present of
it, intending to buy another on my
return to Nagasad. Tarvar left the
ship with manifestations OF exuberant
JOY.
"On the following day I heard some
very sad news. The chief Of the tribe
accused the young warrior OF theft,
and split his head open with an ak.
He then fed into the interior with
the rest of his tribe Fearful of los
ing the precious fetish, Katiak-Sho
hid 1t in the folds OF his cloak.
But the warriors noticed that their
chief secretly left them at night to 90
and worship the little doll by noon
light in the forest.
One night they followed him and
caught a glimpse Of the chiefs mar
Vicious doll
He was not popular and a plot to
kin him was soon on foot Katiak-Kho
was strangled at the foot OF the tree
where he was accustomed to COM
mune with the idol.
THE groans Of the dying man at
tracted the attention of his brother
and some of his friends, and terrible
battle ensued. Five men were killed
and the victors ran farther into the
recesses of the forest.
After days of wandering they found
suitable site at the foot of a noun
tain and built a new village. They
thought themselves In safety, but the
reputation Of the idol came to the ears
OF the Alfakis, warlike tribe, who de-
termined to secure it at all costs.
"The war between the Papuans and
the AlfaIis lasted for many months,
and the little Japanese doll passed al.
ternately from one camp to another.
Three hundred lives were lost in
these battles, and the doll is now in
the possession Of the victorious Alta.

work is carried out on the Fougerolle
system, which allows of working for
short periods at a time. The process
consists Of dividing the tunnel into
e00-foot sections. each section being
pumped dry in one hours time to
allow work to be carried on for one
day. when the canal is again flooded
to give passage to the boats. The
pumping is done from two boatlike
caissons. one at each end Of the sec.

WHALING curiosity.

A whale without an ounce Of oil IN
its carcass is surely curiosity. The
crew of the New Zealand Whaling
company's Bakiura relate that whale
so feet long, rather bedraggled look
ing. but of fair size. was brought in
by one of the company's vessels to
Russell to be boiled down. The Gus
tomary cutting-up process was gone
through and the parts put into the
boilers. But not an ounce of oil could
be obtained, and It turned out that the
whale had marks on it which suggest
cd that 1t had been shot on a previous
occasion, and that it was suffering as
a result from some form of blood-poi-
soning. which rendered it's flesh and
fat useless.

ORIENTAL DRAMA "KISMET'
Otis Skinner at Academy Of Music
Baltimore Next Week.

"Kismet, " the wonderful oriental
drama by Edward Knoblauch, will
be the attraction at the New Acad-
emy Of Music, the week beginning
February H. This production by
Klaw and Erlanger and Harrison
Grey Fiske is described as "An Ara
bian Night and the words conjure
up to the imagination a very definite
idea Of the plays dramatic, poetic
and pictorial charm. 1t is not, how
ever, a dramatization of any one of
Schechezade's remarkable stories.
Rather it is a paraphrase of all Of
them.
The plots, the incidents and the
characters are all original with Mr..
Knoblauch, yet so thoroughly did be
saturate himself with the wondrous
tales thst their flavor permeates the
play from beginning to end. The
intrigue, the humor, the lightning
quick changes of fortune. the spleu-
doris and barbarities, the pomp and
pageantry, the craft and cunning and
wit of oriental life as revealed in the
Arabian Nights are all present in
"Kismet, and are woven together
into dramatic tapestry as rich and
gorgeous as the Sacred Carpet of the
Mosque of st. Sophia itself.
The central figure in the maelstrom
Of incidents that make up the plot of
the play is Hail the Beggar, a rascal
OK much wit and resource who passed
his life asking aims at the door of
the Mosque of the Carpenters, in the
ancient city of Hagdad. The drama
deals with but one day in the career
of Haji--a day in which fate or
'Kismet. raises him from poverty to
momentarY affiuence; delivers into
Ais hands his two enemies; gives to
him power, admiration and love;
grants to him the felicity of seeing
his beloved daughter wed to the
Caliph, aad then, at the end Of the
day, fate strips MIN Of his gorgeous
raiment and places him upon his beg
gar's stone at the door of the Mosque.
The role of Hail has been called the
best acting part, in point of variety

is particularly suited to the versatile
genius Of Otis Skinner. In is imper-

EnoIand's One Real Iumorist.


Perhaps England has had no real
humorist since George Savile, mar
quis OF Halifax died. and that was in
1895 Halifax was the man who said
that "if you think your place is be-
meath you. you certainly viii be be-
meath il" And he wrote an essay
once, which has lately been republish-
ed in exactly its original form. in
which he congratulated the women
who had fools for husbands.
A wife. he said, 'often maketh the
better figure. for her husbands max
ing no great one, and there seemeth
to be no reason why the lady that
ehooseth a waiting woman with worse
looks may not be content with hus-

San Francisco Chronicle "Hcw clever
you are" he exclaimed. What Is
your latest?" "In the first place, she
began, Il hold a skein of wool over
my arm, tie one end OF the wool on a
reel, place the reel on the gramophone
and then start the machine. The wool
is wound up in no timei" The fond
husband gasped in admiration But
that's not all" she continued. 'Tomor-
row / shall place little bath brick
on one end of the records, start the
gramophone and so clean the knives.
He is still gasping.
