Once. when l was pretty near

bananas they call fei: used to see
natives eating them. 1t was a hard

crowd of natives heading up the
valley. They stopped me and began
to jabber and wave their arms, and
finally one big guy came up and took
my bananas away. They owned the
whole yailey-there's nothing on this
island that amt owned Even the
cocoanuts.
"One day. when / was lying in the
house. wondering how long l could
last without eating. one of the girls
that used to jolly me came running
in. She was all excited, but I
couldn't make out what she was driv-
ing at. except that she wanted me to
clear out quick.
Pretty soon a buggy stopped on
the road and four or five men got
out. They took look at the house
with the pile OF husks outside the
door, and next minute they were
coming at quick walk. looking kind

"One of them spoke little English.

Brown from Dubuque.

In Tahiti a few months ago 1 ran
across a middle aged fellow named
Brown. who hal decided to become
nature-man on the strength OF what
he had read in the Public Library of
Dubuque. Iowa.
Brown had been a clerk in a gro
Gerry store. His parents were dead.
his brothers and sisters scattered
over the country and his life had be-
come too dull and lonely for a man
Of adventurous tastes. Because he
had no friends and nowhere else to
go he used to spend his evenings
reading at the Public Library. and
one night the girl at the desk recon-
mended Herman MelvilIe's "Typee" :"
He began with Melville. Steven
son and Louise Becke and ended
with White Shadows in the South
Seas" BY that time he was making
Inquiries about the cost Of passage
TO the Society Islands and had begun
to save. BY cutting out cigars. drop
ping his insurance and moving into
a cheaper room he figured that he
could save nearly a dollar a day. 1t
took a good many months TO do it.
and when he had paid for his ticket
there wasn't much left over. but one
morning in the rainy season he

Russia's Three SOAPS.

nj. Alexander Schwartz. whose book,
"The Voice Of Russia" was recently
published, brought back with him from
his visit to Russia some pieces OF
soap. which illustrate the class condi-

Like every other commodity, soap is
distributed by the government. There
are three kinds, THE first says Mr..
Schwartz, as an ova!-Shaped cake Of
ordinary soap. such - one can buy
in this country, intended for the ON
miS~ars: the second is Il rough chunk
