SAY NEWSPAPERS
 TO REDUCE PAGES
tBy the Associated Press)

Honolulu, Oct. 1S.-Herbert L. Bridgman, business manager of the Brooklyn Standard Union, told the Press Congress of the World today he believed the newspaper of tomorrow would be smaller than those of the present. On that point he asked:
 "Why, in blind competition to print everything which everybody wants, print so much that nobody wants?' MT. Bridgman asked. He expressed the opinion that the size of the news paper would resolve itself largely into commercial and mechanical problem, saying: If the space can be sold for more than it costs it will be. Other wise curtailment will follow, depend ing upon price of newsprint, labor and other materials of production.
 "The retail selling price will doubt- less follow the same laws but both size and price are the body, not the soul of the newspaper of tomorrow. Whatever may happen, it is my belief that if they were smaller they would be better, though this thing must not be pressed to the vanishing point. But how many features, supplements, in serts, juniors and other appendages could be discard with resignation and 
 "The New York Mercury reported the miraculous retreat of the Amer ican army after the battle of Long Island which saved the Revolution, in three lines; the London Times covered the battle of Waterloo in two sticks. We print first page telegraphed columns of the beastly orgy of beastly men and women in a San Francisco hotel"

@, Western Newspaper Union. FRANK NORTH, "WHITE CHIEF
 OF THE PAWNEES"

Only once in history did Indians mans iron horses" and this occurred in 1867 when a band of Cheyennes ditched a freight train on the Union Pacific near Plum Creek, Neb. strange scene followed. Among the loot which the Savages took from the wrecked cars were hundreds of bolts of calico. In sportive mood, the young warriors tied the ends of the calico to their poines tails. Then they went careening over the prairie, the long waves of many-colored cloth billowing and floating behind them.
 While the Cheyennes were still en- toying this sport, from the surround ing hills dashed band of mounted Indians led by white man of sol. dierly bearing. When the Cheyennes saw him charging down upon them they fled in every direction, crying 'The White Chief of the Pawneel The White Chief of the Pawnee"
 Maj Frank North was the White Chief of the Pawnees." He had lived among them and they loved him. They adopted him into the tribe. calling him Pawnee La Sharo. This meant great chief of the Pawnees" and chief even of the Pawnee chiefs. No other Pawnee and only one white man, Gen. John c. Fremont, ever held that title. Major North enlisted his first Pawnee scouts in 1864, and In every war on the plains thereafter they did valiant service.
 The scouts were issued regulation blue uniforms, but they had their own ideas about how to wear them. full dress parade was an amusing sight Some wore only the trousers and were bareheaded; others wore the big black hat, but had a breech cloth in place of trousers; and others cut out the seat of the pantaloons, leaving only leggings. All wore spurs, whether they had on boots, moccasins or were barefoot But they were good fight CTS for all of that.
 They were with General Carr at the Battle of Summit Springs, Colo, in | 1862, and here Major North killed the Sioux chief Tall Bull, although Buffalo Bill is sometimes credited with that feat.
 During his scout career Major North 1 became a close friend of Buffalo Bill, and when he disbanded his scouts, Cody and North went into the cattle ] business in Nebraska together. and ' were partners for many years.

"VAMPS" WHO
 MADE HISTORY
THE WORST WOMAN OF ROME.
By JAMES C. YOUNG

TT IS difficult to read Roman history | without shudder at the cruelty of its emperors. but we may well add an- other shudder for that at its empress eS. The worst woman Rome ever knew was MeSSalina Nalera. the wife Of Claudius. This Claudius lacked character. lacked intelligence, lacked everything. When he came to the throne in the early days of the Chris tan era 1t was a woman who really ruled, and that woman was Messallna. She seems to have had little consider alton for Claudius, and did as she pleased. boldly. Her excesses shocked even Roman society, which had fallen away from the stern days when the Roman lived austerely, and had en- tered upon all the soft ways of the Hast. Women were afraid to attend a banquet where Messalina was pres ent unless their husbands be snatched away from them, if they caught her fancy. And it was whispered that many men whom she favored in the evening were murdered in the morn- ing. like the wives of the famous Harounal-Raschid in the Arabian Nights.
 Messalinas taste varied from the first men in the state to the lowest. A slave, a gladiator, trainer of ami mals for the arena, might catch her eye and be raised to sudden greatness, loaded with gold, handsomely housed and piled with rare wines. Then, in few days, they disappeared, none knew where.
 At last Messaina's heart turned to C. Sillus, whom Juvenal tells us was "a young noble of great beauty" But the heart of SiliuS chanced to belong to another woman, his wife, and the wife opposed Messalina by all the wiles at her command. In first one way, then another, she frustrated her. When Silius was sent for he had gone away, and when he returned she for got the message.
 The rage of Messalina may be i'm agined, and this opposition also put higher price upon Silius. Claudius determined upon a trip to Ostia, leav- ing Messalina in Rome. Here was her opportunity. She took it, con- polling Silius to divorce his wife, which merely required the writing of letter in Rome, saying that the hus- band dimissed the woman. Then Mes salina publicly went through the cere- mony of marriage with Silius, although she already was married to the em- perOr.
 When Claudius heard of these events he exclaimed, Am I still emperor?" fearing that Messalina had overthrown him. But her thoughts had been of things other than power, and Claudius was assured that he still wore the pur- pie. Messalina started for Ostia to persuade him, and might have succeed ed. had not one of Claudius' freedmen ordered her execution. which took place in A. D. 46.

the flower garden of immortal glory. As we friends and relatives mourn her parting we should also rejoice in the thought that she was ready to go when her Savior called. Rev. J. c. Dawson spoke words of comfort to the bereav- ed one sand amidst host of sorrow ing friends and relatives her remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Valley cemetery to await the judgment morn. Her bright smile and true Christian influence will be sadly missed. But let's not thin kof her as dead Just waiting over wonder In that fair land of wonder. We'll see her smile again some day; Gods promise still rings true: I'll go and stay little while, Then I'll come back for you.'
