Queen Mother,s oIft Bible.

Cpon one of his journeys during the
Lhtarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage TO the smallest possible amount
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library (provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind II was decided
with reluctance that this also must be
abandoned.
AS the Bible contained on It's fly leaf
n message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the fly leaf was cut out, also the
page containing the Twenty-third
psalm. and the chapter in the Book Of
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end of the journey and brought
back 10 this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society TO be
sold on behalf OF its funds.

KEPT HAWAIIAN FLAG FLYING
Natives smeared Pole With Thick Coat
Of Grease When French Frigate
Threatened to Capture Fort.

How the Hawaiian flag was kept ny-
Ing at great odds Is the subject of a
story told recently, says the New York
Herald. II relates to an Incident In
1S40, when the commander Of the
French frigate Poursinvante threat
ened to capture the old fort. The
French admiral demanded the return
of about $4,000 which had been paid
to the Hawaiian government by the
French government for an unlawful
seizure of ten years before.
When the fort and Honolulu were
threatened with gunflre. r. G. Wyl-
lie, British subject, advised Kane
heme III that The French could not
sink the earth, and so the French
money was buried in the public square.
Also that while the fort might sue
coed in sinking the French war ves-
sci, it would be best for the safety
of HIS people not to make armed re-
slstance.
Wyllie then visited the fort, where
he conferred with Colonel Mahuka,
who was In command. He told the
colonel to call all his men in line
and then asked for the best seaman
among them. From out Of the lines
stepped former whaleman who was
ordered to climb the fiagpole with a
grease pot and tie the flag securely to
the staff. Then as the whaleman de-
scended the pole he smeared 1t plen-
tifully with grease.
After this there was an honorable
retreat to point of safety, while the
French marines were put ashore to
enforce the demands of their COM
mander. However, as none of them
could climb the creased pole, the Ha-
waiian flag continued to fly, and. as
the French money was safely buried,
they finally had TO depart empty
handed.

for all but the old people. In those

HELPED ITALY INTO WAR
O'Annunzio, Poct-Aviator, Alleged to
Have infiamed Minds Of People,
Declaration Following.

Perhaps more than any one indl-
vidual. D'Annunzio, the poetuyiator
helped to bring Italy into the war. This
Ia an aspect of his career not by any
means generally understood, says the
New York Evening Post.
In the spring of 1915 Italy was still
uncertain as 10 her final decision. Clio
nth, advocate of peace, while no longer
In control OF the government, still re-
tanned enormous political power. The
action of the country was as yet
doubtful, when this maker OF over
wrought. sensuous poetry and prose,
this writer who had been termed the
last word In decadent and dollhouse
literature. landed on his native soil
after five years absence, and COM
menced his crusade. The ostensible
reason for his visit was an address he
had to make at Quarto, where 10 years
before Garibaldi had embarked with
his valiant thousand :" the real object
his desire To drive Italy into the war.
From Quarto his trip To Rome was n
triumphni progress, punctuated with
impassioned oratory. He arrived in
Rome just in time to forestall Giolitti,
who had forced the Salandra cabinet
to announce its resignation.
One hundred and fifty thousand
people welcomed D'AnnunziO in rhe
Piazza dele Terme. In the chamber
Of deputies he was hailed as the coun-
try's savior, and the Italian parliament
answered his appeal with declaration
Of war. Surely strange Tyrtaeus.

on behalf of his country.
