before it was discovered. Damage es-
timated at $4,000 was done to the

and water.
Cause Of the fire had not been def
nitely ascertdned Wednesday morn
ing. w. E. Jameson, manager Of the
clothing company. stated that he
thought 1t must have started from a
defect in the wiring
Origin is Unknown
Fire Chief Miller expressed the
opinion that the fire may have started
from an electric iron which was left
burning. Mr.. Jameson discredited
this, saying that the iron had not
been used since early In the after
noon.
The most damage was done to boys
clothing shefved in the rear of the
store room. The case in which this
clothing was held was virtually de-

ROMANCE IN THE SOUTH SEAS

they had worn the same sort of clothes as we do for

If one of their number should appear in public without

Our conception of the life of those fascinating is
lands In a remote part of the world is based largeiy
on the stories of Herman Melville, Robert Louis Steven
son. Jack London and other writers Of romance; doubt
less many of our ideas concerning the region and it's
people are as wide of the truth as the misrepresentation
that the folk OF the protesting Islands go naked. We
must guard. however. against going to the other ex-
IRENE and picturing the South Seas as civilized to the
same extent as the United States or Europe. Fred
erick o'Brien has shown otherwise in White Shad-
ows in the South Seas and another traveller has re-
Gently returned from one of the more obscure islands
with the statement that the natives are barbarians OF
the most primitive sort and still practice cannibalism.
And now comes from Papeete. Tahiti, as a news
dispatch a yarn that would do credit to the imagination
Of any OF the noyelists of the South Seas. 1t is a story
of treasure taken from Peru during a revolution many
years ago and buried on one of the coral stolls to the
eastward Of Tahiti. Dying in Sidney. the last survivor
Of the piratical band that stole the jewels revealed the
hiding place to a stranger who had befriended him, and
an expedition is being fitted out to hunt for the loot.
fnat it Is taken seriously by a number of people who
are willing to risk money on the recovery Of the treas

wild and romantic adventure of the kind that Stevenson
loved TO narrate are still for from exhausted, ana that
romance IS yet to be found in the South Seas.

COUNTING THE COST

Statistics of British foreign trade. for May reveal
IN part the enormous damage done by the coal min

Der. 1918. and imports showed the smallest total since
December. 1917. In May. a year ago. coal exports
amounted to ~s,643.499 pounds; last month the aggre-
gate was but 32.S61 pounds. Imports Of coal. usual

Though the miners strike be settled. there have
bean prodigious losses which cannot be made up. The
largest part falls on the working classes. The miners
have inflicted punishment on the coal operators. but
the severest injury has been done TO operatives In the
other industries who have been thrown into idleness
because therel was insufficient coal to keep the plants

need OF keeping industries going in the importations OF

TESTS OF

Ths hsad of a surety company some DAYS ago ex-
pressed tbs conviction as a result OF his observation that
TcarrAad men fat men and profane men offer the best
risks In his business There may be a valid reason
why married man would be deferred from violating a
trust evan though under other circumstances they might
not refrain Family Disgrace and the pain that would
DO inflicted cn innocent persons through the husbands
crime might operate to keep them IN the straight path,
though there might b just as powerful a reason for
the unmarried man with parents and brothers and sis
ters To avoid peculaton-
Il may be that fat men are disposed toward good
nature and that an easy-going man Is not tempted to go
wrong because It would Involve too much trouble. Pro
family by some has been defined as due to a limited vo-
cah1lary. Because one Is unable to command ap-
proved words of sufficient strength to express his feel
ing he interlards his remarks with profanity on the
principle that the statement is thereby strengthened.
But why should one with a limited command of Langu-
age be a better risk than one who uses good English
and Is able to express his thoughts without the use of
profanity7
II observation supports the view expressed By the
surety company Official 1t is coincidence rather than
cause and effect. Ones reliability certainly depends on
ones principles rather than on ones martial state, cor
pulency or manner of speech. 1t is the inner man. the
part of the man that cannot be seen, that determines
ones trustworthiness. 1t may be revealed partly by
ones language. It may show in his countenance, his
family relations may offer some proof. but were ons
to rely solely on one being married, fat and profane a.
long chance would be taken.
Integrity is a quality that cannot be determined
BIZ surface indications. 1t has to be determined in
living. The honest man may meet all three of the
superficial conditions laid down but he is honest not
because OF them, but because he is right.
