surplus earnings to its stockholders. The

ORIGINATED IN DAINTY VERSE
Expression That Is Considered Slight ly Vulgar Today Traced to
 Poet CoWper.

Some of the crudest expressions in the English tongue had their origin in poetry. and even religious com mands. Among these the phrase, ito go the whole hog" is a striking ex- ample. Today it is~ looked upon as a vulgarism. Yet the words were ob- tained directly from poem by Cow per, whose tftle~is the pretty term, ~Love of the World Reproved" The poem is the versifying of an Arabian story that seems we'll founded in fact.
 Mohammed in giving forth his laws declared that certain part of the pig should not be eaten, but he forgot to mention just what part it was that he thought unclean. His followers, to make sure of not violating his com mands, debarred the whole pig. As there were many. however, who were dearly fond of pork, they met and agreed that one would eat the steaks, one the chops, one the feet, and so on, until the whole pig had been eaten. and thus but one of the feasters could be made to suffer for the sin. As Cow per says: 'sThey thought 1t hard from the whole pig to be debarred," and adds: with sophistry. their sauce they sweeten, till quite from tail to snout, 'tis eaten"

would soon be over with. The only thing that made her shudder now was the thought of being served at the kings Thanksgiving feast.
 After being carried about two miles through the jungle, the party emerged in an immense clearing dotted with bamboo huts, with an exceptionally large one in the center. The prison CTS were placed in hut on the out skirts and guards with spears sta- toned at the doors.
 ! Presently the black man who had been the leader of the captors ap- peared, cut the thongs from their feet and surprised the prisoners with these words of English:
 'Now me take um to king"
 In a short time they were ushered into the largest of the huts, in which was a rudely constructed throne, about which were grouped several natives in fantastic costume, made Of skins and feathers.
 The king appeared through the door, walking with a Broadway stride. He mounted the throne with majestic garet stared at him for moment in astonishment, then threw herself at him, eluding the guards who sprang to stop her, and clasped him in her arms.

THIS GRAIN TRULY AGoLDEN'
How Discovery of Prolific Gold Field Was Made in Mysore, State
 of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold fields at the present time is in the Kolar district (Mysore state) of India. Discovery of it was made in a curious way.
 In prosperous years, when the god9 favored the valley with an ample har- vest of rice, grains of gold were found now and then on rice ears. This great ly mystified the natives, who ascribed the gold to supernatural powers.
 What probably happened was that these grains, derived from the graveIIy soil, lodged on the young rice plants when they were being grown in nur- series (for subsequent transplantatfon to the felds) and flooded at intervals with water.
 The strange occurrence, at first deemed supernatural, led to the discoy. cry that the gravels of the valley were rich in gold, brought down from tho mountains. Since then the Kolar dis trict has contributed largely to the worlds supply of the yellow metal

 "Cannibals got him."
 While Margaret steadied herself against the wall growing deathly pale, he went on, talking laboriously:

I hurried and soon arrived at the scene of trouble. About fifty black men were dancing round him. shouting and singing, and he was tied to tree with thongs. I knew couldn't fight whole gang, so hid behind another tree and watched for opportunity to cut him loose. It didn't come, for they took him off into woods.

 Samson sank back in the bunk. sighed heavily and closed his eyes. All night he was delirious, and Mar garet's condition was not much better. She realized the unfeasibility of send ing the men ashore to fight the canni- bals, especially at night, but was de. termined that some action be taken in the morning. When morning came, however, the crew refused to go-all except Joe Larson, the cook, who said he'd be willing to wade a river of blood to help Ralph.
 The idea of one man and one woman against hundreds of cannibals did not seem practical, so she sat on deck and thought, and thought.
 Perhaps Samson went crazy and dreamed it." she told herself. May be Ralph will turn up all right. He's the most resourceful person in the world"
 But the inactivity drove her nearly to distraction. Finally she told Joe to get ready and row her ashore. The others protested, saying she was talk ing her life in her hands. But she was determined.

Yes, 1t was a gloomy Thanksgiving day, although the sun was shining blisteringly. Her husband had disap- peared, and the chances were 100 to l against ever seeing him again.
 She censured herself for agreeing to this South sea honeymoon. Why explore Kondo island when something inside her had consistently warned that she should not let him set foot on shore?
 She sat on the deck of the steam yacht Crystal and tried to reason way out of the dilemma-a happy way out. One course would be to hoist anchor and steam away. But that would not be the happy way, because 1t would leave Ralph in the clutches of the cannibaIs.
 The event that had brought her to distraction occurred the previous af- ternoon about o'clock. They had just arrived at the island and Ralph had insisted on going ashore.
 Margaret realized sense of fore boding as her husband set off in the little boat with Samson Brown, one of the sailors.
 Margaret saw her husband land and help Samson draw the boat where the waves could not touch it; then they both disappeared into the forest. She sat on the deck and watched and waited, still harassed by that feeling of foreboding.
 The sun was a half circle on the horizon when she saw Samson stagger out from among the trees and push the small boat into the water, leaping in. This action seemed to take the last ounce of strength, for he sank to the bottom of the skiff and lay there apparently helpless.
 That was sufficient excuse for Mar garet to sound an alarm that brought the crew of the Crystal stumbling and tumbling to the deck, where they at tonce comprehended the situation and set out in another boat to rescue Sam son, whose craft was being tossed back on shore.
 What's happening? Where's Ralph P breathed Margaret, as Samson was carried on deck, but he answered sim ply with a glassy stare and was taken to his bunk. He rolled his eyes queer ly and opened and shut his hands re

 Joe rowed her ashore and they fol- lowed a faint path into the woods. The underbrush was not so dense as it t'appeared from the deck of the yacht, and they made fair progress, present ly arriving at a clearing. Here they paused, for the ground showed signs of a struggle, with numerous prints from bare feet
 She was kneeling to examine these prints, when Joe suddenly cried:
 Look out!',,
 The next instant she and Joe were the center of bowling, cavorting vor- tex of black humanity. Their frms and feet were tied and they were carried into the forest.
