Stories of the War
Vietors Feted In Africa.

A reception and dance was given to the British force by the King of Fun ban shortly after the capture of this province from the German forces, says a despatch from the British headquar- ters, FHmban, Kamerun, Africa The function was featured by speech from the throne and the taking of a photograph of the king and his 500 wives and 149 children.
 Soon after the last of the fighting in the province the conquerers ac- cepted an invitation from the king to visit the palace grounds which open on the market place Here they were met by the king dressed in new flowing robes of blue with a blue muffler tied around his neck. After the soldiers were lined up at seats on either side of the market place the king made 9 short speech, first in his native tongue and then in pidgin Eng fish, admonishing his subjects to be kind and courteous to the new con querers.
 Then the dance began. The orches- tra was made up chiefly of various sized drums made of hollow trees and stretched skins. The only other in- strument was a species of rattle with and with which they kept re- markable time. Six or seven men started the ball with native shuttle varied by few more energetic mo- tions. Some were dressed in what looked like blue overaIls and others were in red, the garments reaching from the heels to the tip of the nose. Each man carried on his head carved mask heads, all white and about two feet high. Round the neck of each mask was a large collar or ruff made of some wood fibre a foot thick. Round the ankles they wore similar ruffs.
 The men advanced to the king, rub bed their masks in the dust and then started the double shuffle. After do- ing this for some time the orchestra and the native audience getting more and more excited, six of the king ladies appeared on the scene. They were covered much like the men ex- cept that on their heads they wore curious masses of wood fibre topped by large punches of black feathers They went through the same motions as the men for nearly an hour before making way for the kings photogra- pher

 The junior crew won the class chan1pionship in the annual spring regatta on the harbor last Saturday afternoon and will consequently be sent to Harvard to race against the Harvard championship class crew on May 20. The first freshman crew de- feated the Springfield High school by third crews respectively. GaillaTd won the single scull event while the juniors cleaned np in the race between the second class crews. There was practically no wind whatever on the harbor all afternoon yet the regatta was not started until after 5 o'clock. Only two of the judges, MT. Swayne and Mir. Whitney, were present at the races and Coach Nickalls acted as referee, starter, and judge at the fn- ish as well. No times were kept. Only a small crowd witnessed the regatta and a large proportion of these were from Choate school.
 Professor William Allan Neilson of Harvard University was the guest of the Elizabethan Club in New Haven Friday. He delivered the first Eliza
 
 cum in the evening in commemoration of the three hundredth anniversary o1 the death of Shakespeare. His sub ject was Shakespeare and Religion The former, however, came in rather more than the latter in his illuminat ing and suggestive address. He first of all defended Shakespeare from the most fragrant and popular criticisms against his primacy as poet, that the eighteenth century produced. These he said were based on grounds rather philosophical than aesthetic. He con- tradicted the fragrant assertion tha'
 Shakespeare is remarkable among greater poets for being without z philosophy and without a religion and went on to show it's fa1sity a! based on the whole fabric of his dra' natic art and on a great number O I instances. from specific plays. Profes sor Nelson was much interested il the coming presentation of sTroilu and Gressida, by the Yale Dramati' Association. He spoke of it as a cour ageous undertaking and said that Yal should receive much credit for per 1 forming so original a service to tn drama in America.

Grain Prices Skyrocketing

The grain market has been
soaring during the past week and
close to the dollar mark is now
being offered for good milling
wheat while ninety cents or bet
ter can be had for the poorer
grades, These are local quota
tons and prices on the coast are
considerably above the dollar
mark. Oats also is coming into
its own and buyers are now anx-
ious to get it in large amounts al
81. 10 per hundred or better, while
earlier in the season it went beg
ging at around ninety cents.
Barley is steady at $1.15 with
only moderate demand. With
wheat near the dollar mark many
farmers who have been holding
their grain for better prices will
undoubtedly cut loose, but there
are always some who want just a
little more than the market offers
and later take considerably less
and 1916 will perhaps vary little
from former years in this respect,
The hog market is also grad
ually creeping back to where it
should have been for the past
couple of years and, with grain
and pork both bringing good
prices, this particular section of
the country will soon be enjoying
its share of delayed prosperity.

raaore,a Fame In India.

As showing something of Rub-ndra-
nath TugOre's fame in his native India,
Ernest Rhys tells the following story
In his biography of Tagore:
Mr.. Montague, the undersecretary
Of state for India, was on one occasion
riding through an Indian forest at
night when he came upon Il clearing
where two or three men sat around the
fire. Not being certain of the road"
says Mr.. Rhys, "he was glad to dis
mount and rest his tired horse. Shortly
after he had Joined the group poor
looking. i'll clothed lad came out of the
forest and sat down also at the fire
First one of the men sang Il song and
then another. The boys turn came,
and he sang song more beautiful both
in words and music than the rest
When asked who had made the song
he said that he did not know. they
were singing these songs everywhere.
Awhile after Mr.. Montague heard the
words that he had used again. this
time in very different place. and
when he asked for the name of the
maker of the song he heard for the
first time the name Of Rabindranath
Tagore."

Owing to the increased scarcity of
hides the last five years the prices OF
harness leather has increased from 20
to 25 per cent. per pound.
The prices of harness has increased
, in about the lme prop( rtion, and it is
safe to say the prices will continue to
increase in proportion to the increasing
cost of leather.
Rain, sunshine and dirt absorb the
animal fat that is in the leather. The
The only way to keep the vitality and
life of harness leather is to oil the har-
ness.
If you do not oil the harness do not
blame the harness maker il it does not
wear.

1t is the only perfect harness oiling
system now in use. 1t oils every part
of the harness at the same time.
