We turned our faces from the scene as quickly as possible, for we did not care to see our late comrade struggling In the water, and did not want to hear his cries for help. After a slight pause the narrator went on: We went on to South Africa. We tried to forget the little Incident, but to save my soul I could not help thinking of the poor fellow we had thrown into the sea. Here is where the strange part of the tale comes In. When on my way back somehow I knew when we got to the place where we had dumped our friend into the sea. The moon was up and the water was shimmering as brightly as if it had been surfaced with molten silver. Almost In the shadow of the ship I saw on the crest of a wave the calm, contented face of my friend, serene in its resignation, Infinite in its placidity, as it rose and fell with the swish and swash of the tide. Hut the ship kept on, and we soon passed out of sight. The crowd yawned. "Losing the game and being dumped into the sea was not so bad, said the lean, lank member, "but honsetly 1 lost my temper when you refused to pick me up on your trip back, for 1 bad to stay in the water a week longer before the next ship came along. And the veracity club adjourned t. without date. New Orleans They had been speaking of experk encea during the trips made to South Africa while the war was going on, and the curious way in which muleteers often amused themselves. "That reminds me of the heaviest wager I ever made said one of the group, "and when I tell you that my life was upon a game of cards you will understand just how I felt for a while at least. We had all become a little sick of our bargain and had that wild, desperate sort of feeling which will impel a man to join a suicide club or do something equally as foolish, so when It was suggested that we enter a game of cards and stake our lives on the result we thought we would try the thing once just for luck. "We agreed to play a series of games to run through three days, and at the end of the third day the man furthest behind was to be counted the loser and dumped overboard. The terms agreed to without a whimper. The playing began promptly and progressed without a hitch. At the end of the third day we began to count up. It was a period of great anxiety for all of ub, for no man knew Just how he stood in the game. You can bet I felt cold about the spine. "Finally the result was announced. A skinny, pale-facecadaver was the unlucky man and I was a close second. The loser accepted the announcement with composure.

Mr. Joseph Calmas, foreman of the Harter mills, Fostoria, O., says: "I Just as ardently recommend Doans Kidney Pills today, and it is the month of October, 1899, as I did in the summer of 1896, when, after taking a course of the treatment, they cured me of kidney complaint and backache, which was often so acute that I was unable to sleep at night and had difficulty in remaining on my feet all day. I am still free from the lumbago or any annoyance from my kidneys, and unhesitatingly declare that I am only too pleased to my opinions of Doans Kidney Pills.

Almost exactly in the middle of the Islands sprinkled over the South Pacific ocean, to the eastward of Australia, lies the Samoan group, four Islands of which Uncle Sam recently took under his care. On the largest of these, Tutuila, he has built a naval station. There are about 6,000 people on these islands and about a thousand of them The people are not are children. black. They are of a light brown and As it is warm yellow complexion. there all the time, they do not bother themselves with much clothing. When the Americans came to the islands they found that, while the children were apparently running wild in the thick tropical woods, they knew what an education meant and many of them were attending school. The children are Intensely curious about the United States and ask strangers all sorts of questions concerning the great country' of which they are part now. They call the governor, who is a naval officer sent out by the United States, Your Susuga, and they speak of the president as His Afioga.' Of all the possessions of the United States, the Tutuila group alone lies gouth of the equator.

The children of Tutuila and Manua are fond of singing and reading aloud. As soon as a child of these Islands 1b old enough to work, he leaves school and goes to help his father collect cocoanuts, the white meat of which is dried and sold to traders under the name of copra. The children also work at farming on the where tropical small plantations, fruits and vegetables are raised for domestic use. Their homes mostly are mere buts, set in the clearings of the dense forests or stuck away among the trees of a grove of tropical trees. All the boys are gxd sailors. They begin to go out on the water with their fathers when they are very young, and by the time they are ten years old they can handle the native boats with great skill and dexterity. A Cure for Warts. Tbe following asserted cure for warts is from the New York Medical "We and Surgical Journal: have found nothing more generally useful than the repeated application of the end of a bit of wood (e. g., a match) moistened with acid nitrate of mercury, care being taken only to touch the top of tbe wart and not to let the fluid run to the sound tissue.
