LITTLE KINGDOM OF TONGA
One Remaining NominaIly Independent
State in Pacific Is Under Limited
Monarchy.

Tonga, little kingdom of 100 isles,
is the one remaining nOminally In
dependent state in the Pacific, and,
though under British protection, 1t
still flies its own flag. Its government
is limited monarchy.
Time was when it's legislative as
sembly gathered only once in three
years, and steamship companies with
vessels plying to Tonga advertised
the fact as a tourist attraction.
George Tubon II was then on the
throne. He was a man six feet seven
inches in height and weighing some
thing over two hundred and eighty
pounds. He was wont to open parlia-
ment with great ceremony, the boom
of brass saluting cannon and much
gold braid. Attired in a scarlet coat,
blue trousers, plumed helmet, with an
ermine-trimmed plush cloak, trailing
from his shoulders and held by two
velvet-clad pages, King George would
march from his palace to the paflia-
ment buildings. Guns popped at in
tervals, while the populace stood
around and bowed low in honor.
But George lis daughter Salote
now rules and parliament meets once
a year in less Gilbertian display.

The Best Mans Toast.

At the club last night the business
girl was the center of a group of
interested listeners. Fragments of con-
versation containing the words brides
maids" simply adorable wonder
full house." pearls" Japan" floated
over to the Woman and induced her
to put down the magazine and IN
blushingly seat herself on the Ches-
terfeld directly behind the animated
narrator, just in time to hear her de-
scription of the best man.
'He was very good looking, though
rather conceited, and in responding to
the bridesmaids toast said: All
through our school and college days
the groom and I have been the best
of friends. In games and sports !
have usually beaten him cut, but in
this great race for a bride the better
man has won, and I'm sure he's well
come to her OF course the poor thing
meant to say: I'm sure he's worthy Of
her. But he can never, never explain
it away, and the bride says she Ger
tainly won't invite him to anothel
wedding of hers !"

"SIXTH SENSE" SAVES TRAIN
Railroad Passenger Engineer Had
"Hunch" and Stopped
Just in Time.

His sixth sense caused Robert
Getz Of Sunbury, passenger engineer,
to determine that something was
broken under his engine as it raced
along with 100 passengers on his train.
Getz stopped and found a brake rig
ging hanging by a small shred of a
broken chain under the tank of the
locomotive. Had it dropped, railroad
men said, nothing could have pre-
vented a bad wreck.
Getz said something" just told him
all was not right under him, and he
stopped.-Sunbury (Pa.) Dispatch.

Glazed Grasshoppers.

A sight that would have gladdened
the heart of John the Baptist is
shown in photographs of the newly
discovered grasshopper glacier in the
northern corner of Yellowstone Ma
tiOnal park.
These pictures, just received by the
geological survey, show imbedded in
the ice thousands of strata of grass
hoppers of extinct species of time
long before the period in which the
insects were considered delectable.
These glazed grasshoppers must
have been flying over the mountains
in living clouds of millions when they
were caught in snowstorms and frozen
into the glacier.
Motorists are visiting the remark
able glacier by the thousands this
summer.

THE DARK DAY OF 1880

The dark day" occurred May 10,
1850. 1t was so called on account Of
the remarkable darkness extending
over all New England. In some places
persons could not see to read common
print in the open air. The darkness
began about 10 o'clock in the morning
and continued until the middle of the
next night, but with difference of de-
gree and duration in different places.
Inc true cause Of this phenomenon
is not known.

Throwing Clothes Out Divorces Man.
Perhaps the Hopi Indians are one Of
the few tribes who have not changed
with the times. For in Arizona these
red men are living very much as they
did when Columbus discovered Amer
lea.
They adhere to their old laws, some
of which are neutrality-suspicious.
some of the laws affecting marriage
Should a Hopi husband come home
some night and find his clothes and
other possessions lying at the thres-
hold of his donicile, he knows it is
home no longer for him, because a
Hopi Indian squaw who for any reason
wishes to divorce her husband, sim
ply throws his clothes out, and that
ends it. There is no court Of appeal.

TT HE Bavarian government is in
L open revolt against the central
German government at Berlin and has
issued a decree that rejects and sup
plants the recent legislation by the
reichstag for the defense of the re-
public. The Bavarian minister at
Berlin was instructed to inform
Chancellor Wirth that any outside po-
lice official attempting to operate in
Bavaria would be promptly arrested.
Wirth has called a conference of all
the German states to consider the
problem, and if Bavaria does not
suppress it's new law President Ebert
may summon the staatsgerichtshof, or
tribunal of the states, to deal with the
case. Chancellor Lerchenfeld of Ba-
varfa says he is opposed to any sep
aratist movement but that his state
will not submit to any abridgement Of
it's rights. The old enmity between
Bavaria and Prussia and the strong
monarchist sentiment among the Ba-
varians make the situation difficult
for Berlin.

the basis of McCumber's statement,
but he, Smoot, did not think Norris
had been authorized by the publishers

reiterated his statements with added

insufficient for national requirements.
Secretary Hughes asked, and presum-
ably was promised the aid of the Brit
ish government in the suppression of
liquor smuggling from Bermuda and
