Mr.. Wilson had made long drive

close to the ear of a young Washing

used some emphatic language in ex-

Unaware of the identity of the man

HIS GRAVE KEPT FRAGRANT |
Samoan Islanders for Twenty Years
Have Held Robert Louis Steven
son in Loving Memory.

How many Of the lovers of Robert
Louis Stevenson-the modern who
was an ancient, the ancient who was
a modern, the contemporary who be-
came a classic because he translated
new things into thoughts for all time
how many of those millions who
have fallen under his spell know that
it has been 20 years since he died?
How many know that 10 years ago
the bronze tablet was erected over
his tomb in far-away South Sea isle
for endless generations to read and
wonder at?
It was 20 years ago next December
that Stevenson died at Valima, near
Apia. on the island of Upolu, in the
Samoan group, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Since then he has slept
in a distant grave, but not in a neg
lected one. For the natives OF that
island keep his tomb on the lonely
mountainside fragrant with flowers.
sThe Tomb of Tusitula,' they, call 1t
that was the great Scots Samoan
name
Stevenson went to live in Samoa IN
1887. He was a comparatively young
man. but he had seen the vanities
of the world, and, captivated by the
climate. the scenery, and the kindly
character Of the natives, he &C once
determined to live out whatever space
of life might remain to him in that
fortunate island. And there he did
live for seven years. Long ere he
died he wrote his own epitaph, and
that epitaph is engraved on the brass
tablet that was put there 10 years
ago.
It is carved on lasting bronze, but,
like Horace, he raised himself mon
ument even more enduring than
bronze. The natives who keep his
grave fragrant will all die, some day.
and their descendants will be benevo-
lently assimilated. But all the chill
dren who speak the English tongue
will pluck perennial flowers from the
child's garden of verses for that tomb;
and all boys will know Upolu as the
real Treasure Island.

Modern Greek.

A stranger came into our office and
graciously offered US some fruit which
he said he purchased downstairs in
the Greek grocery store. We asked
him what Greek grocery, and he said
the one right under US, in Holpos'
place. We have been here some time
and knew nobody of that name, and
to satisfy our curiosity we went down
stairs to have look.
Sure enough, there was what did
look like "Holpos" on the end of the

NAPOLEON ON WAY TO ELBA
Sad Journey for Man Who Had Al
most Become the Master of the
Civilized World.

A fresh letter arrived recently de-
scribing Bonaparte's conduct during
his journey from Fontainebleau to
Elba, says the London Globe of May
10, 1914. Subjoined is an extract:
In the early part of his journey
Bonaparte took his meals alone, but
when the unpleasant rumors from the
south and the tumult in most of the
towns through which he passed had
thoroughly convinced him that the
people were ready to proceed to the
most cruel extremities he saw that
his only chance Of escaping was to
assume the uniform of ain Austrian Of
hcer"
He then determined to also renounce
the part of emperor and to take his
repasts with the commissioners who
escorted him, and to whom he owed
the preservation Of his life
The decision, however, was preced-
ed by a flood of tears. The first day
that he sat down with the commits
sioners it was observed that he ate
nothing and that he secretly threw
aside the victuals which he raised to
his mouth. He was afraid of being
poisoned!
The following day he requested per-
mission for his own cook to dress his
dinner which was granted; and the
same man who the day before pre-
tended to be i'll fell foul of the dishes
with an eagerness bordering on vo-
racity.
Throughout the whole journey he
betrayed the strongest apprehension
and preserved a solemn silence But
as he approached the coast and per-
ceived the Mediterranean feet and
sails of the vessels lying il the road,
his heart expanded and he began
to talk with extreme volubility, but,
as usual, very incoherently.
1t is said that in his conversation
with Marshal Augereau he several
times observed: Tis all over with
me in Europe, but Asia wants a
man"

HOW He TURNED THE TRICK

Mrs. Mcrdecai Hammerfest turned
pale as her husband entered the din

surprise.
"But-but. you are in your-your

She passed the butter, remarking
nervously. But, Mordy. dear. as you
came in l saw you didn't have any
shoes on"
Well. what of it. Your hair is in
curl papers, isn't it?'
'Why-y-yes."
And you have on a wrapper,
haven't your"
YES"
Very well, then"
And he went on eating his break
fast in silence except when he asked
her to pass the butter. Then he went
upstairs and finished dressing, and the
next morning and on succeeding morn
ings she reported for breakfast in reg
ular clothes.

0y Vyb6&b1AtV tAs INIT OnOs
For the small family of simple
tastes, nothing could be more appro-
pirate for a residence than bunga-
low built according to the design here
shown.
This is bungalow designed in the
true western or southern spirit, but
SO modified as to make 1t a substan-
tial and comfortable residence for the
severest climates.
The exterior is sided with boards
seven-eighths inch thick, left with a
rough finish and stained soft olive
green. This style of siding is very
effective in bungalow work, and is
probably the cheapest of any Of the
styles Of siding. Shingles are just
about as cheap, so far as the mate
rial is concerned; but the high labor
cost, these days, for applying them,
brings the total cost of the job up
equal to that of finished clapboarding.
The extra thickness of this rough sid.
ing is in its favor, also, where warmth
and durability are of Importance.
The gable ends Of this bungalow
are finished with cement plaster,
which may be either of the natural
gray color of Portland cement. or
mixed with white cement If lighter
