LAST OF THE CARlB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred of Race
Which Columbus Found in West
Indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative of Lo, the poor red man, to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a liv-
ing race he has practically disap-
peared. A..
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt In the West Indies in 1892 is
largely a matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today it is doubtful
whether there are 100 pure-blooded
Caribs alive. Practically all of them
live on the British isle of Dominica, on
a reservation set apart for them called
Salybia.
The reservation is very difficult of
access, for there is no sheltered har-
Dor or landing place. The only method
of approach is by one of the coasting
steamers which circle the island.
When the steamer gets opposite Sa-
Lydia with anyone who wants to land
aboard, she stops and whistles. If the
weather Is good and the water smooth
enough, canoe puts out and takes the
passenger ashore. If the weather is
too rough the passenger must needs
content himself to go on around the
island and try again on the next round.

A Model Man,

Adam, the first, was a man of low
able disposition and a model husband
so l am informed by the recorders of
early events. Never once in the reco-
lection of his biographers did he speak
i'll of his beloved sOulmate in the pres
ence of human company, and according
to those who were able to know all
his private affairs he never kicked on
her cooking nor growled at her house
work.
Whether she wore her gowns high
cut or low in the neck was a matter
of little or no concern to him so long
as she was respectfully attired in the
fashion of the period. And when she
got fred from the Palm Garden for
nibbling apples without someone's con-
sent Adam did not sneak off to Reno.

grimace, feel that he had given me a

John made no immediate reply. The
world had turned topsyturvy with him.
Louise Maurel, and a great friend of
the prince of Seyre! He walked on
mechanically until she turned and
looked at him.
"WelI?"
Il am sorry" he declared bluntly.
"Why?" she asked, a little startled
at his candor.
II am sorry. first of all, that you are
friend of the prince of Seyre."
"And again, why?"
Because of his reputation in these
parts"
What does that mean?" she asked.
II am not q scandalmonger," John
replied dryly. 81 speak only of what

tematically neglected. He is the worst
landlord in the country, and the most

and in Westmoreland, have to work
themselves to death to provide him
with the means of living disreputable

"You see, up here we have not learned

She shrugged her shoulders.

"That is another matter" he con-

who were these men and women
who have lived and died here?" she
interrupted, with a little wave OF her
hand toward the graves.
"All our own people," he told her.
She studied the names upon the
tombstones, spelling them out slowly.
1.-THE married people," he went on,
"are buried on the south side; the
single ones and children are nearer
the wall. Tell me-" he asked, after a
moments hesitation, "are you married
or single?"
She gave little start. The abrupt
ness of the question, the keen, stead
fast gaze Of his compelling eyes,
seemed for a moment to paralyze both
her nerves and her voice. 1t was as if
someone had suddenly drawn away one
Of the stones from the foundation Of
her life. She found herself repeating
the words on the tombstone facing
her:
"And Of Elizabeth, for sixty-one
years the faithful wife and helpmate
Of Ezra Cummings, mother Of his chill
dren, and his partner In the life ever
lasting"
Her knees began to shake. There
was a momentary darkness before her
eyes. She felt for the tombstone and
sat down.

She glanced at him almost appeal
ingly, but there was no sign of yield
ing in his face.
Laws" he reminded her, "are made
for the benefit of the whole human
race. Sometimes an individual may
suffer for the benefit of others. That
is inevitable"
''And so let the subject pass" she
concluded; ''but it saddens me to think
that one of the great sorrows of the

He nodded.

had never seen my Australian uncle,
but as matter of fact, he has been

Service,

And the question always is whether
men shall serve, or merely be unhappy
because they cannot serve in certain
way. If the path that they would like
to tread is-thrOugh no fault of theirs
CLOSED to them, it is for them to
open another path, and walk stead
tasty therein. They may never win
fame, never gain the applause Of the
world, and may even be criticized by
the foolish for seeming to shirk, but
they will have the approval of their
own consciences.. and the good opin-
ions of all those whose opinions are
worth anything. Gifts, by their very
nature, are not things that can be a.

not given, there is and can be no re-

who had seemed from the first as IL
she were very far removed indeec

He set his teeth. The poignancy Of
the recollection was a torture to him
Word by word he lived again through
that brief interview. He saw her de.

her hand on his arm, saw the flash
of her brown eyes as she drew close to
him with that pleasant little air of IA.
miliarity, shared by no other woman
he had ever known.
Then the little scene faded away, and
he remembered the tedious present.
He had spent two dull days at the
house of a neighboring land owner,
playing cricket in the daytime, dancing
at night with women in whom he was
unable to feel the slightest interest
always with that faraway feeling In
his heart, struggling hour by hour with
that curious restlessness which seemed
to have taken permanent place ip
his disposition. He was on his way
home to Peak Hall. lie knew exactly
the welcome which was awaiting him.
He knew exactly the news he would
receive. He raised his whip and
cracked it viciously in the air.
Stephen was waiting for him, as he
had expected, in the dining room. The
elder Strangewey was seated in his &C.
custOmed chair, smoking his pipe and
reading the paper The table was laid
for a meal, which Jennings was pre-
pairing to serve.
Back again, John?" his brother re-.
marked, looking at him fixedly over
his newspaper.
John picked up ore or two letters

down upon the table. He had exam

months with the same expectancy, and
thrown each one down with the same
throb of disappointment.

Had a good time?"
''Not very. Have they finished the
barley fields, Stephen"
"All in at eight o'clock"
There was a brief silence. Then
Stephen knocked the ashes from his
pipe and rose to his feet.
"John," he asked, "why did you pull
up on the road there?"
There was no immediate answer.
The slightest of frowns formed itself
upon the younger mans face.
"HOw did you know that l pulled
up?"

The Essentials of GARDENING.

The essentials for successful gar
dening on a small or large scale are
soil, water and cultivation. Much de-
ponds also on the grower, the season
and the crops selected.
The soil is the storehouse Of plant
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rotted material in
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about 30 per cent of
ordinary earth is not soil at al. but
consists of air and water.
Water makes plantfood that is pres
ent freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain ammonia.
The magic Of soft water on the plant
world is one of the miracles Of good
gardening. as everyone who has con-
rasted the effect Of rain with that
produced by sprinkling with a hose
realizes. Plants are succulent and
contain large amounts Of water which
they have to draw from the soil.

KOBE HAS WESTERN FLAVOR
Big Busting Japanese City Seems
Proud of Having Occidental Rather
Than Oriental Appearance.

When you arrive at the hotel In
Kobe the management informs you
proudly that they have the biggest
dining room between Calcutta and San
Francisco. This is a foretaste of a
string of disappointments that await
the tourist who is in search of the
real japanese flavor. Kobe is big,
bustling prosperous city, but it is proud
of being up-to-date and Western rath-
er than being curious and Oriental.
The hotel is full of European travel
ers and business men, the streets are
full of people in Western costumes,
and on the whole you are likely to de-
eide that you might have stayed in
Kansas City.
If you refuse to be disappointed,
however, and extend your explorations,
you will find that the enthusiastically
Japanese quarters of Kobe are the big
gest part of the city and it is still
going about it's affairs in the Japanese
way. Here are the narrow crowded
streets, the bounding rickshaw men
who pull up and grin good naturally
at each other after averting a fatal
collision by a hairs breadth, the rows
on rows of little low shops with their
big, incomprehensible signs, and the
incongruous groves and forests of tele-
graph poles.
The telegraph and telephone pole to-
day is really more q feature of the
Japanese landscape than Fujiyama, the
sacred mountain. The modern jap
anese fan should show a line Of
conventionalized telegraph p2Ies dis
appearing in impossible perspec-
tive rather than the cherry blossoms
and fan-wielding maidens who belong
to past age. For some reason Japan
has proved a fertile soil for the tele-
graph pole. The wires run under
ground and apparently more poles are
used than there is any necessity for.
The poles are the most conspicuous
feature of the Kobe landscape.

three months before he had ridden to

FooIino War Photographers.

One result of the use Of wholesale
photography in the war zone has been
to introduce the new element Of de-
ceptive scenery and dummy gun posi-
tons into warfare. Such false posi-
lions are built exactly to resemble real
gun emplacements. It Is said that in
France today out of four objects that
are apparently concealed batteries as
recorded by the camera, only one con-
tains real guns. The others are set up

It is a movement in direct support of the bond movement in aid of the copntry's war arm. and it's success will assure that the sons of America will not go hungry in Flu rope or on the seas, and that there will also be plenty of food for their allies in arms. With this high incen- tive to aid and the tremendous en- deavor that is to be put in the na- tion campaign next week from coast to coast, there is considered to be no doubt but that the movement will en- list large and enthusiastic support from the beginning and prove at the end of the week the quickest piece of big work put over since the beginning ofthe war.

TOMORROW IS THE
 DAY; BOY, PAGE
 MR. H0HENzOLLERN!
Liberty Loan Holiday" to
 Meet With Big Response in Bisbee and Warren District.

Tomorrow's the big day! A new national holiday will be ushered in at midnight--not a permanent holiday, perhaps; indeed, this may be the only time that it will ever be observed in the country's history But just the same, Wednesday, Oct. A, nineteen seventeen, IS a holiday; and Bisbee and the Warren district will prop erly observe it.
 Everything Closes.
 The mines are going to close, and at 12 o'clock, noon, everything else in the district is going to close; and after that people can do anything they want by first purchasing that privi- lege through a Liberty bond. Oh. yes, 'tis necessary to sign for a bond be fore feeling real holiday about life, In fact, if President Wilson didn't feel that you WERE going to buy a bond he wouldn't have ordered this holiday at all, and where breathes the man that won't stand by the pres ident when the president comes through "fifty-fifty" with day O rest in the middle of the week?
 No Escape.
 And don't think you're going to es- cape by diskuising yourself in a hunt ing jacket and hiking to the hills about daybreak. All passes to and from the district will be closely guard ed and if you have that bond receipt in your pocket you may, possibly, "get through" but if you haven't, you're going to be strung up to the nearest tree without benefit of clergy or bene- fit of anything else-even the doubt.
 Come Across
 So come clean. The nation needs about three billion dollars of your money tomorrow, and don't pike It's much more pleasant to loan it to nice. bewhiskered old gentleman named Uncle Sam at 4 per cent in terest than to keep it in your pocket until the kaiser drops in some after noon and rudely takes it away from you. There are your two choices. You are between the devil and-no, not the deep blue sea, but the best busi- ness proposition that has ever come your way in the past, or that will ever come your way in the future.
