NOT WORRIED BT CLOTHES Natives Went Naked Until Scandal ized White Missionary Hailing From Tahiti Gathered Old Garments for Them. Rapa, Dangerous Archipelago. South Pacific.—They toll not, neither do they spin, and in all the reaches of the seven seas it would take a long voyage to find a more lazy population of men than Rapa’s. In Rapa the women are the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. In other happy-climes of Micronesia and Polynesia the self-appointed “lord , of creation” will deign to raise his hand aloft and pluck for himself the fruit of the banana and orange tree. In Rapa, however, he will not even' feed himself. When mealtime comes the woman of the family, after foraging for food and cooking it, must also put it into the mouth of her lord and master. They roll the taro “pol” into little balls and toss them Into the open mouths of the men folks. Not Worried by Clothes. The people of Rapa wear no clothes —or did not until a scandalized white missionary from Tahiti insisted On gathering some old garments from his more favored parishioners in Papeete and hurried them to Rapa. Rapa, known also as Oparo, is one of the most isolated and most interesting Islands If/ the South Pacific. It lies south of Tahiti, far out in the tropics, included in the French settlements in Oceania and 'inhabited by Polynesians of the same type as the Tahitians. It is one of tlie few spots most light ly touched by the finger of civilization. Seldom does a schooner touch here— not more than once a year—and once in a great while a French gunboat from Papeete will voyage into the Dangerous archipelago. Has Coal Deposits. The island itself is mountainous, witli • strange castle-like peaks risiiyg in the Interior. It possesses a good harbor, and,- what is most unique in the South Sea Islands, has deposits of coal, not of very good quality, though. hen the Panama canal was near ing completion there was much talll In Tahiti of e.stablishing a coaling sta'^ion here, Rapa being close to the southern great circle route and admirably adapt ed to such a purpose, but no, such thing had come to rudely shock the s'erene existence of Rapa men. Butted into Pigsty. Montgomery, Pa.—While gazing with pride at his pen of fast-fattening hogs and dreaming fond dreams of Juicy hams during the coming win ter season, Gustav Stoney of near Montgomeryville was awakened from his reverie when a goat butted him over the rail of the pigsty among the pigs. The porkers crawled alt over him and Stoney and the pigs gave grunt.s, squeals and yells. Finally Stoney’s .son came to his father’s res cue. He chased off the pigs and Stoney, the elder, emerged from the plgstj.. He was cut and bnfised.

ROCKY MOUNT UP IN AES stiff Raises in Price 'of Shave and Hair Cut Provokes Declaration of War Against the City Baiters Rocky Mount.—To the list of wars Qow being waged in the w’orld may now be added the struggle between the barbers of Rocky Mount and., the board of aldermen which got under way with an open declaration of hos tilities at the meeting, of the board when the city fathers sanctioned re taliatory measures in the form of high licenses as a means of combat ting the recent increase in the price of shaves and hair cuts at the local barber shops.
