SAVAGE TRIBE ON TIBURON
"WhIte CannibaIs" Said to Infest Pa
cIhc Island Believed TO Be
Rich In PitchbIende.

Tiburon island in the Pacific, four
miles off the Mexican coast, is inhab-
tied by a tribe Of "white cannibals"
who are said to be descendants of the
Dutch, Swedish and German prisoners
who escaped from Mexican prisons
several centuries ago. Yaqui Indians,
who live on the mainland, call Tiburon
the "Island Of Death" for the reason
that any person who lands on 1t is
shot by poisoned darts and then eaten
by natives, says an exchange.
In addition to poisoned arrows used
by the natives the cannibals also use
an ancient blunderbuss in attacking
their victims. They are supposed to
number from 500 to 1000 persons. OF
16 persons known to have visited the
island in the last few years, in parties
of two and three, only nine are said
to have returned alive, the others fall
ing victims of the flaXen-haired blue
eyed white Indians" as the Mexican
people call them.
TiburOn is said to have rich depos-
its of pitchblende, from which radium
Is extracted.

LADEN WITH SP0ILS OF WAR
Chinaman Who Worked With Allied
Forces in France a Wonderful
Sight When He Returna

Pick and spade heroes of the Chi
nese republic, who sOldiered so hard in
France for an allied victory, are re-
turning to the homeland with the
choice pickings of the salvage piles
of Europe on their backs. The Home
Sector gives this picture of the re-
turning coolie sports: "There are two
obvious signs which make it plain
that great things are stirring in these
hitherto unstirred parts. One of them
literally smites the eye as soon as the
returned warrior steps down the gang
plank Of the coolie transport at Using
tau or Shanghai. Dizzily arrayed in
the sartOrial pickings of all the earth,
they are a fearsome wonder to behold.

cox AND ROOSEVELT

After being in a deadlock for 43
ballots, the Democratic National con-
vention in San Francisco on the 44th
ballot named James M Cox, three
times governor of Ohio, as the partys
candidate for president. Until Palm
er released his supporters the conven-
ton was in a deadlock regarding him,
Cox and McAdoo. Franklin D. Roose-
welt Of New York, assistant secretary
of the navy and a strong adminiStra-
ton man, was unanimously chosen as
candidate for the vice presidency Mr..
Roosevelt is a fifth cousin of former
President Roosevelt.
The strongest thing about this Dem
ocratic ticket is the echo of the Roose-
welt name Governor Cox is of little
prominence nationally and his choice
by the San Francisco convention was
largely a thing deemed expedent by
Tamnany to cut off the Wilson wing
of the party.
With Cox at the helm, there is pos
itively no hope of the League of Ma
tions ideals being ever carried out sue
cessfully-for Notwithstanding the plat
form declarations the Democratic
bosses, in whose hands Cox finds him
self, are overwhelmingly against the
league plan
The adherents which the Democratic
party had among those who followed
the Wilson leadership are gone, and
these will find their greatest relief in
support of a Republican regime for
the next four years.

CONTEMPORARIES DEMISE
OF ]. B.-LANDS IN COURT
Dave Sheldon Makes Annual Renewal
of Acquaintanceship with His Honor

Dave Sheldon celebrated the first
anniversary of the demise of an old
friend, John Barleycorn, with such zest
that Officer Charles J. Shaw felt it his
bounden duty toward the rest of the
community to put stop to it on We'd
nesday afternoon Dave was given a
chance to reconcile himself to his be-
reavement in the county jail that night
and was brought into the Municipal
court Thursday morning.
In answer to the charge of drunken
ness Dave pleaded guilty through his
attorney, Ira II. LaFleur. But through
the same channel he also bespoke his
wish for leniency at the hands of the
court. His record for the past year
had been countless, he said, and a wee
little jollifcation, wholly personal at
that, should not draw upon him at his
Honor's hands the severity of the law
and involuntary transportation to the
workhouse 1t appeared that Dawes
last similar offense had occurred a year
ago and the present spree was just be-
yond the limit, then set by the court,
within which a second charge would
have meant the House of Correction.
And Dawes logic prevailed Although
he was saddled by fine of SIS plus
costs of $50 he was still saved the
ordeal of the workhouse.
In pronounCing sentence Judge Dick
ems warned the defendant that a re-
Dot;t;or of tho offauca MOULD r,,ao,, -,
all probability what Dave feared most,
the House of. Correction His patience
with him had been tried for twenty
years, he said, and while he consented
to leniency this time, it could not be
expected again And so he would
frame his records of the case Sheldon
dug into his pocket for his roll and
nonchalantly replied: q will not be
here again, Mr. Dickens; how much did
you say | owe you now? In the after
noon of the same day Dave went back
to his employment of dynamite expert
in the quarry.
All attempts to get Dave to divulge
the source of his supply were disap-
pointingly of no avail He just would
not go further than say that he had
imbibed too freely of several quarts
of sweet cider he had saved for the
occasion from the pre-prohib days. He
would not admit the hearsay of a pri-
vate stock of home brew, or his we'll
known individual connection of pepper
mint and extract. Nor would the
court credit the cider story

LAMENTS PASSING OF RUSSET
New England Journal Voices Regret
That Famous Apple Is Becoming
increasingly Scarce.

The russell apple seems to be In a
fair way to extinction. 1t used to be
the commonest of our New England
apples, but it is seldom seen nowadays.
In Rhode Island the principal varle-
ties are the Baldwin and greening-
both fine apples, easy to sell and easy
to keep" fine Of color and flavor. But
there is room for the russell, too, and
1t would be great pity If 1t should
continue to be neglected by so many
growers.
There is no other apple that has just
the russell tang. It somehow embodies
the pungent quality Of New England
life-its spice, its juice and its humor.
1t is not so snowy an apple as some
of its crimson, green and yellow COM
petitors, and yet there is nothing hand
somer in the apple kingdom after all
than a ripe russell, brown and yellow
commingling on its smooth surface, to-
gether with a faint blush Of red.
Perhaps there are localities where
the russell flOurishes as of old, but II is
out Of fashion in this neighborhood
Let its friends arise in its behalf, and
see that it does not wholly disappear.
Why not a Russet society, systemat-
ically bent on its preservation There
have been organized movements for
less worthy causes.
Apple lovers with only small tracts
Of ground might at least pledge them
selves to set out one russell tree. A
bearing apple tree is as good as money
in the bank.-Providence Journal.

FRENCH DEPUTY SPEAKS AT
OPENING OF FRENCH SCHOOL
Brings Official Greetings to Americans
on "The Fourth"

The opening ceremony of the French
Summer School was held in Mead Me
mortal Chapel on Sunday, July Fourth,
Prof. II. p. Williamson de Visme eX-
planned to the students and professors
the purpose and ideals of the school
and showed the progress which has
been made since 1914 He character
lied with great simplicity and clear
ness the essential traits of the French
spirit: Desire to seek for truth, intel
lectual clearness, good taste and good
sense. He then read the letter appoint
ing M. Edouard Soulie-, Deputy of
Paris as official Delegate of the French
Government to the French School of

rotary of Foreign Affairs and the Sec
rotary of Public Instruction and Fine
Arts. | am particularly pleased to be
here in your midst on this national
holiday, and to have heard this speech
so fine and true by H. Williamson de
Visme, whose work for drawing closer
together our two nations is highly APP
preciated in France by his friends and
by the Government At the time of
my departure from Paris NJ Alex

his desire to bring about a collabora-

come more and more effective, l wish
to say to you Americans, how much
we appreciate your simplicity, your
courage and your worth, and to repeat
with you: Long live America; long
life to the friendship between America

Catfish Made to Change Names.

Some catfish have been nosing
around in the mud Of the rivers to the
north of Rio Janeiro for 81 years
without knowing their right name.
They supposed their name was "Stein-
dachneria," under which they had been
baptized by Carl H. Eigenmann and
Rosa Smith Eigenmann in 1888. But
G. Brown Goode has given this name
to some other fish belonging to the
aristocratic gadoid family of Macru-
rids. Confusion and correspondence
ensued until Prof. David Starr Jordan
insisted that the catfish change their
names. Therefore their sponsors have
rebaptized them Standardization"
and the catfish can now nose around in
the mud of the Rio JequintinhOnha,
the Rio Doce and the Rio Parahyba
without fearing that the piscatorial
mail intended for them may get car
ried out to sea and delivered to the
Macrurids.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE TO
DR.. THOMAS FROM ASIA
His Words, 10 Years Old, Are Now
Current in Ancient Tarsus

Something over ten years ago Pres-
dent Thomas made a statement of his
idea of the purposes and ideals of a
student in the form of The Student s
Ten Commandments, which were pub
lished first in the independent and re-
printed in various papers at the time.
One of the agents of Armenian Relief in
the Near East is George W. Patterson,
Superintendent of Schools. Randolph,
Vt. Superintendent Patterson has sent
to President Thomas a letter written
from Adana, Cecilia, Asia Minor, on the
back of reprint of The Students Ten
Commandments issued by st. PauPs
College of Tarsus and printed at their
college press. Mr.. Patterson writes
that the paper was given to him as a
specimen of printing at the college
print shop and without any thought
that he would know the author of the
text.
The incident is interesting as showing
how ones words travel far and lnger
long, sometimes coming back after
many days tits also an Illustration of
how American ideas have permeated the
territory which used to be the Turkish
Empire. 1t is far cry from Middle
bury to Tarsus, the birthplace of St.
Paul, the no mean city of which the
Apostle claimed citizenship, but this
reprint makes it little nearer. An
other feature of the incident is that the
President of st. Paul's College is the
Paul Wilson whose name has been ap-
pearing the last few days in the dis
patches from Asia Minor as that of
the American missionary whose life has
been in danger because of the fighting
between the Greeks and Turks.
The Students Ten Commandments
which have been referred to are as
follows:
l. Thou shalt set the service of God and man
before thine heart as the end of all thy work.
2. Thou shalt inquire Of each study what it
has for thee as a worker for a better world, not
relinquishng the pursuit of it until thou hast
gained lis profit unto this end,
3. Thou shalt love the truth and only the
truth and welcome all truth gladly, whether it
bring thee or the world joy or suffering, pleasure
or hardship, ease or toll.
4. Thou shalt meet each task at the moment
assigned for it with willing heart.
&. Thou shalt work each day 10 the limit Of
thy strength consistently with the yet harder
work which shall be thy duty on the norrow
g. Thou shalt respect the rights and pleasures
of others claiming no privilege for thyself but
the privilege OF service, and allowing myself no
joy which does not increase the joy OF thy fellow
men.
7, Thou shalt love thy friends more than
myself, thy college more than thy friends, thy
country more than thy college, and God more
than all else
8, Thou shalt rejoice in the excellences Of
others, and despise all rewards saving the graft
tude of thy fellows and the approvafof God.
Q, Thou shalt live by thy best, holding thyseli
relentessly to those ideals thou dosi most ad-
mire in other men.
10. Thou shalt make for myself command.
mehts harder than another can make for thee
and each new day commandments more rigorous
than thine own laws Of the day before.
