First White Men There
Found Natives HospitabIe

When white men first found zap they
were much impressed by the hospitality Of
the natives, whom they described as deli
cate in their sentiment, friendly in their
disposition; in short people that do honor
to the human race" Subsequent contact
however, greatly diminished their num-
bers, which was then estimated at from
10000 to $4,000 gay and industrious ISL
anders, without in any way improving their
condition. Now there remain only few
thousand apathetic and discouraged peo-
pie.
The natives still whisper of an old
legend; of a princess tnat was told by
priest that her "life-mate" would come to
her from out of the sea and return to 1t
after a short stay on the island. and Of the
fulfllment of the prophecy. 1t is thought
by visitors to the island that the explana-
tion Of it is something like this
Long ago some venturesome vessel
caught and made helpless by a raging
typhoon, common in that part of the
world, was shipwrecked off or near Yap.
One of its survivors probably was fortu-
nate to reach the shore, and upon seeing
him the princess naturally accepted him
as the White God sent to her by the
fates. After short stay on the island the
man, constantly dwelling on thoughts
of the home far away, and probably a
sweetheart waiting, became crazed and
mistook a star for moving light, which
would have meant vessel. Jumping into
the sea, he made a desperate effort to
swim to It, but was trapped by sharks,
ever swimming around in the lagoons."
While problematic as 1t is vague, Of
course. this explanation is probably as
good as any that could be offered.
Yap used to be one of the rendezvous for
Bully Hayes" the modern buccaneer.
This famous pirate half frightened the
lives out Of the peaceful natives by landing
fierce and warlike Ocean and Gilbert Isl-
anders who brewed large quantities Of CO.
coanut toddy and set the whole place In
a ferment with their carousals and mad
orgies. Night after night they kept 1t up,
alternately drinking and fighting. Muir
dered mems bodies were picked up on the
beach every morning and the poor natives
lives were often In Jeopardy.

to explain or understand this bit of fem
mime psychology, so unusual to the expert
ences of most of us. 1t must be assumed
that the lesser half'' of the family un-
enlightened in the ways of the modern
world, still reserves the right to rule his
small domain.
1t is also stated on reliable authority
that the wives Of the village are seldom IL
ever jealous. Perhaps this is true. But
by the same hypothesis that all stone walls
are alike, also are all women alike, in a
general way at least. Realizing this fact
where could we find mortal so brave as
to assert that the women of an entire viii
lage, numbering more than 5000 souls,
never know the pangs of jealousy?
To really establish himself In society
the male of Yap must appear. at least once,
in dress suit. Still there are few rich
enough to possess one of these desirable
articles The solution Is this: Many shops
are operated with one dress suit as the en-
tire stock. which is rented to those that
aspire to social prominence. This not only
furnishes its owner with a steady source
of income but also endows him with dis

fessional reformers might have great diff
culties. The tailu, which is the name of

Fire Engine in Every Home.

An original and practical scheme for
ire protection in rural community is
being praeticed in one district in AIassa- :
chuSetts. The town, which is the hub
of the community. purchased a number
of three gallon eXtingliisfers, which were
placed in the farmhouses near by. They
remain in the property of the town. and
the farmer agrees to keep the eXtin-
guisher from freezing and always have
it available for use The town engin-
GERS make an annual inspection. and re-
charge the eXtinguishers. The operation
of this scheme has already saved several
buildings located more than two miles
from the hose house in the centre of the
village. The victim of a fire not only
uses his eNtinguisher but his nearest
neighbors bring theirs and do effective
work until the auto-truck arrives The
ultimate plan is to supply every house
living outside the limits of the town
water system with an extinguisher cost
ing about $40 The scheme calls for only
a small contribution from each resident.

ter Abbey at 11.30 o'clock and soon there
after the couple were pronounced man

vast crowds gave tumultous greetings.
The scene of the ceremony was one of
impressive grandeur with the king and
queen and the entire royal household
participating. Scores of cOnveyances put
down at the Abbey doors streams of gor-
geously gowned women. Diamonds, sap
phires and other precious stones flashed
from their tiaraS, necklaces and brace
lets. Their escorts were resplendent in
service dress or the velvet breeches,
white silk stockings and three -cornered
hats of court Tegalia.

proclaimed the arrival of the bride and
the king in a gilded glass coach. Mary
stepped from her coach-truhy princess

gleam of silver. the filmy down of tulle.
the sparkle of beads. the dun sheen of
pearls and the exquisite coloringS of satin
and old lace against which contrasted

train with its silk embroidery and crys-

back from her face over a triple diadem
Of twisted silver and orange blossoms re
vealed the demure features of the prin-
cess. On her drive from the palace the
bridal gown had been clOaked in rich
ermine wrap.
Viscount Lascelles had already arrived
