FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.
RVS ss.-Aus so....v. .sw veas e,-v.

It is learned that number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered In Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some OF the many friends
of Stevenson during his years In the
Pacific
The result of this research has been
the finding OF an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of 'Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South sea life. and =
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript. blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, OF considerable length. but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer Of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

APPEALED TO THE SOLDIERS
Bravery Of Young British 7uaIsr

Breast Of American Foe.

Courage is virile quality that ap-

ten shown the greatest heroism in the
face of peril, both on and OF the bat
tlefeld. How many know the story Of
the little British bugler who accom-

disastrous advance against General
Jackson's entertainments at New Or
leans hundred years ago?
A whitening fire Of cannon and
musketry greeted the British troops
as they charged the American redoubt
"a fire that for deadly accuracy
has rarely been eQualed.
The young bugler at once climbed
into small tree and straddled limb.
From this conspicuous position he con-
tinued to sound the vibrant call to the
charge. Cannon balls and bullets
killed scores of men beneath him, and
even tore away branches of the tree In
which he sat. But above the thunder

vided he is well enough of to pay the
nekyah or marriage settlement, which
he Is legally bound to hand over to
her.
The woman of the poorest classes
can go out alone. Custom does not
oblige her to wear her veil down.
Should her husband, in a fit Of anger,
wish to divorce her, he must first of
all produce the Nekyah, the dowry,
in ready money, not an easy matter
for a poor man.
The real danger to domestic happi-
ness in the great mass Of Turkish
homes is the growing tendency Of d.
vorce, and a divorce wholly favorable
to the man as against the woman.
The payment of the modest nekyah
arranged at the time of his marriage
is simple affair, and it Is seldom
enough to keep the divorced wife for
the rest of her days. She is forced to
take refuge with her parents or to
find shelter with some OF her friends.

In view of the decrease already &C.

enormous losses annually inflicted up
on the people of this country by the
ravages OF insects, and In view of the
destruction Of wild life which is now
furiously proceeding throughout Amer
lea, tho Mclean bill. which is now be-
fore congress, to provide for the FED
eral protection of all migratory birds,
becomes the most important wild life
measure that ever came before that
body. In view of the annual economic
loss that will continue as long as
federal migratory bird bill falls to
pass, it is impossible for anyone to put
forth one good reason-unless 1t be on
purely technical grounds-against that
measure. The Weeks bill, before the
lower house Of congress. is precisely
like the Mclean BILL and it matters
not which one passes first. 5
Unless the people Of this country
wish to shut their eyes to their own
interests, and pay out millions of dol
lars annually in the form of increased
cost of living due to the losses caused
by insect pests which would be
destroyed by the birds, they should
demand that federal migratory bird
bill be at once enacted into a law. 1t

senate calendar it is No. COG. We can

ONLY the Sultan Adheres to the Old
Style Oriental lnstitutIon-mod-
ern Turk Resorts to Divorce.

The domestic arrangements OF the
sultan are entirely different from
those of his subjects. Most Turks
have one wife; the sultan has no
recognized sultana. Turks of high
rank marry into their own class; the
sultan forms unions with women OF
slave origin. The ordinary man may
not look upon an unveiled woman ex-
cent she be his relation or servant;
the sultan has the right to talk with
any woman in the land face to face.
Turks of position model their house
holds more or less on the European
nlan. the sultan's household is orien-
tai. -
That does not mean that in the I'm
perial palace you would find women
slipping sherbet or smoking narghilehs
or clad in baggy trousers. On the
contrary, you would find them smok-
ing nothing more oriental than
cigarette. sitting on a European chair
and, yes, wearing corsets! But the
code of morals is entirely different,
saws the New York Sun.
The imperial harem is founded on
the old court system Of the Byzantine
emperors and has an etiquette and
law of it's own. The first fact one
must grasp is that the wives or
fayorites of the sultan have no i'm
portance at all. They are nobodies.
The daughter of a Circassian peasant
may be honored by the sultan's favor
and even bear him a child, but yet
