The PangWes, a cannibal tribe Of
Africa, had an odd way Of settling
disputes with roighboring tribes.
When they wished to settle a point
they sent word to the tribe with
which they had dispute, and the tribe
selected 20 men, the Pangwes a sim
liar number. These constituted the
armies" that were to settle the dis
pute. Both armies" then repaired
to an island in the river, set their
canoes adrtft, completely cutting them
selves off from any assistance, and
went to it. They hunted each other
down through the trees and fought
until all but one man was killed. The
tribe to which this sole survivor be-
longed was the victor, and to it be-
longed all the dead on the island. The
victorious tribe then carried off the
dead, friend and foe alike, and feasted |
!or eight or ten days.

on "l English words and English

invasion of that year, there began to
come into EngIapd Il language which
was not English in any sense-but
French. Now, French is a kind of
Latin-it is Latin with the ends Bit

Latin is the language of the people

was Rome. Latin is the very essence
the basis and the staple of the French
language; but it is nothing more than
considerable contribution to our

influence on the build of our sentences.

Miss Hill Is considered one of
the prettiest women on the screen.
Her height, however. keeps her
from playing many leading roles.
She is five feet nine inches tall,
two inches taller than the accept

lady. .
This has led to her being cast in
strong supporting roles, usually
adventures or vampire parts.
Her success IN these roles has
been exceptional. partly because

'The 9nming Aeart
by Edwin Markham)
(By Edwin Markham)

1t was ages ago in LIES first wonder
found YOU Virgia, wild seaheart;
And twas ages ago that went asunder,
Ages and worlds apart.
Your lightsome laugh and your hairs dark glory,
knew them Of old by an oceanstream
In far first world turned to story,
Now faded back to dream.
saw you there with the sea-grs fleeing
followed you fast rock and reef
And you sent sea-fre into my being,
The lure Of lyric grief.
One after one the stars were slipping
Pearl after pearl to the bowl of night;
And down the west three moons dipping
Into the waves all white.
l know not where the misting,
On what lost in the milky track:
But know that you swore to a lovers TWISTING,
In those swift glances back.
I followed you fast through the white seasplendor,
On into the rush of blown, black rain;
Drawn by that mystery strangely TENDER
The lure OF lyric pain.
As up round a headand the tides came hurting,
You sang song from your wild sea-heart
Then mist swept in, and we two went whirling,
Ages and worlds apart.
We are caught in the coil Of Gods romances--
We come from old worlds and go afar;
have missed you again in the Earth S wild chances
Now to another start
Perhaps led and lives are fated
And our steps counted one by one;
Perhaps we shall meet and souls be mated,
After the burnt-out
For the world dim hope hovers
The hope at the heart of all songs
That the banded stars in league with lovers
And fight against their wrongs
If this is dream, then perhaps our dreaming
Can touch lifes height to finer fire:
Who knows but the heavens and all their seeming
Were made by the hearts desire?
One thing shines clear in the hearts sweet reason
One lightning the chasm
That to turn from love is the worlds one treason
That treads down all the suns.
So I go to the long adventure, lifting
My face to the far, mysterious goals,
To the last assize to the final sitting
Of gods and stars and souls.
Our ways go wide and 1 know not whittier,
But my song will search through the worlds for you,
Till the Seven Seas waste and the Seven Stars wither
And the dream of my heart comes true.
am out on the roads, and the long long questing,
On dark tides driven great winds blown;
l pass to the rims of the world s unresting,
l sail to the great unknown
There more lives yet there worlds waiting
For the way climbs up to the eldest sun,
Where the white ones go to their mystic mating
And the Holy Will is done.
will find you there where our low life heightens-
Where the door of the Wonder again unbars,
Where the old love lures and the old fire whitens
In the Stars behind the stars
Perhaps will meet where the boughs for rafters
Shelter cliff by ocean-stream,
AS met long ago in the light sea-laughters
When me went the dream.
Perhaps we will meet in some field of fairy

OLD ECCLESIASTICAL
 INSTITUTION BURNED

EDMONTON, Alta, Feb. 23 (by As sociated ss).-Fire was respons- ible for the destruction of the second oldest ecclesiastical institution in this part of the province when the forty-year-old Catholic church at St. Albert was destroyed.
 The church, which was the cathe- dral for many years, was one of the historical landmarks of the Edmonton district It was built by the priests and revent brothers entirely. Some fine paintings and carvings were in the church when it was destroyed. These works of art were all done by Christian brothers, who, coming from France, Belgium, Brittany and other European countries, were master craftsmen.

PRISONER FOR
 YEARS TELLS
 STRANGE TALE

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C.. Feb. 23 (by Associated Press) s).-A strange tale of imprisonment and slavery in a salt mine in Mexico was unfolded to the immigration officers at the international border a few days ago when they picked up Edwin G. Ke- hoe. His statements having been substantiated Kehoe was admitted to Canada and give transportation to New Westminster.
 Kehoe, a native of Quebec, grad uated at Edinburgh university as a civil engineer In 1908 he took posi- tion with a Mexican oil company and four years later, according to his story, was forced to take sides with one of the revolutionary parties then warning on the western slope. Cap tured, he said, he was thrown in a vermin-infested prison and later put to work in salt mine. During that time he did not hear of the great war raging in Europe.
 Three months ago the opportunity to escape came, according to Kehoe. Hitting his guard over the head with rock, he sealed the 800-foot shaft and made his way across the Ameri- can boundary, from whence he came north by foot and blind baggage.

IRISH ACCEPT
 DALI EIREANN
 AS AUTHORITY

DUBLIN, Feb. 23 (by Associated Press).-The Dali Eireann, the Sim Fein parliament, in the minds of an overwhelming majority of the Irish people, continues as the dominant the only legitimate authority in Ire land. It is treated as an authorita- tive body. None of the municinal or county bodies which pledged alleg- lance to it have withdrawn from that position.
 The Dali Eireann's instructions are obeyed by these subsidiary bodies and all dealings with the Irish local government board, which he presents the British government, are barred For this reason the board is unable to make it's customary audit of coun- ty and city accounts. The result is increasing difficulty in every dis. trict.
 Rate" or tax collectors are faced With two sets of instructions-one from British government representa- tiVes' or the local government board, the other from local Sim Fein au- thority. A kings bench decree, de- signed to compel these collections to obey the law, has beeu unavailing. obedience of crown instructions, in many cases, would doubtless bring severe punishment, if not death, to the collector.
 Tax collecting, needless to say is not brisk. The balances in local treasuries are proving insufficient to enable authorities to maintain public institutions. In Sligo. banks have refused to permit overdrafts, and there is no money to pay the contractors who are therefore with drawing their services. Patients in hospitals are without sufficient food and the inmates of the poorhouse are in similar plight
 The chairman of the board of al dermen approved the suggestion of Dail Eireann that leading men of the city be asked to advance e5O each to relieve the situation, but there was no response.
 In Queens county, the greater part of the taxes of the county amounted to about G60,O00, remains uncollected, and the resources of the county are exhausted, involving seri- ous consequences to the lunatic asy- lum and several hospitals. The coun- ty council at it's meeting resolved to ask the advice of Dail Eireann. They have no doubt of it's ability to meet, and are willing to act upon it's in. structious.
 At Bray, an important seaside suburb within 12 miles of Dublin an attempt was made by a member of the town council to get out of financial troubles by resembling a resolution acknowledging allegiance to Dail Fir cam, but he did not find a seconder.

BIG TONNAGE OF COAL
 MINED IN ALBERTA

EDMONTON, Alta, Feb. 23 (by As sociated Press).-The total output of Alberta coal mines for 1920 is esti- mated at 6,5OO,OOO tons, by John S.. Stirling, of the dominion government bureau of mines. This is the larg- est output in the history of the in- dustry, exceeding the 1919 figures by 1,627,5 ,58S tons.
