Death and the West Coasters.
The celebrations of their victory
jl had no control over. Even old
jlwolo slipiK'd off X had only one
1 fine-eyed man In the crowd perfect
fly sober and that was Renchoro. I
j fell asleep amongst it all and in my
I dreams I had hundreds of rifles and
jEncomi warriors. end had even
!married Nine (silly dream). Also
ithe little blue eyed fairy of the
! ponds far away popped in on me
and actually scraped my face with
her ringlets and pinned me a sweet
bunch of wild flowers on and when
I awoke finding all well and as it
should be I felt relieved.
Great things these dreams, when
you come to look back and I had
often thought as a lad Do they ever
come true but that dream did,
strange to say and she pinned many
a posy right in old Lancashire near
the old illy pond where the old
stony brook sang its song for us
amidst the song birds.
The Man Who Was Shot.
We now dipped parties and went
our way rejoicing not forgetting a
few loving cups which strengthen
ed us after our celebrations. Passing
the point where the cannibals had
made such a Stout resistance we
saw many black vultures who were
i evidently having high times on
hand from Little Peru and one of]
them,as per usual contained funds'
for the stealing of the Goddess. I j

Shiff now got serious and In an
swer to a few questions I opened up.
Look here, Herr Shiff. I have one
piece of news that might Interest
you and your company, you remem
ber our agreement. He answered yes.
Has it been satisfactory to you so
fat ? He . answered saying just so.
Well, Herr Shift, are you willing to
shake with me on behalf of my com
pany that we shall not interfere with
each other's posts on the Big River.
He answered yes and shodk on It.

shore and the most ghastly sight of
all was the torn body of the man
who shot the rifle.
He was still hanging from the
tree head down, having been firm
ly caught by both feet in a fork. I
mentioned the advisability of div
ing under him for the rifle he had
let drop in the river but this they
would not do as they were afraid of
the imburus or spirits of the dead
which they declared would forever
haunt that spot. Of course there
was nothing to be done but to wait
for some other chance. And even
tually this came. I recovered the
rifle without much trouble and it
proved to be an old snider which
had been stolen from the firm I
was representing.
We left the land of.ghosts and
were soon racing for who should
land at Apaques first. As my canoe
was always maned by white En
comls supposed to be the best canoe
men in the world we. were soon
flying down stream at a terrific
speed. My canoe of course carried
the rum which was always a big
incentive as the ones following had
always to catch us at tot time, and
the ones left missed their rum. At
times ther race was very close and
we reached Samqulte by sundown
and after a short rest made for my
Uncles, arriving at midnight.
Funds for the Goddess.
I reached Adimango in due time,
my mail was at our new station.
The last steamer load of gunpowder
and sundries was being put aboard.
Mattam came at me with a jjump
and put my hand on his head say
ing Wa Ka wa Ball n’gogudema.
You defeated the big elephant of
the Mpangues you are our chief. I
laughed and told him nothing of the
sort. Not but he said listen some of
our people were there and some are
still there, how could this be, was
there no fight? I told him the fight
was nothing, he looked at me
strangely. (The savage was at a
[loss to understand the conventional
false humility of the white man.—
j Ed.)
Strenge people these he was ac
tually proud that I had beaten Ills
paramount chief and that some of
his mates, probably his relatives,
were laying at death’s corner away
up in the high Ogowe. The children
of wildest Africa are surely diffi
cult to understand.
I told Iwolo to sound all aboard
and with a quick pull out we left
the nearly deserted place. My can
nibal friends and in fact every one
fleet and we were soon passing Herr
Shiffs and as I was in the van he
hailed me. He had two letters in his
firms. I explained and told him my
centre was Isange Island.
I had to go as Mr. Sinclair might
think something had happened. But
I went away with my private locker
| full of Hamburg's best and that is
| what I call fair trade. And it all
proved out in after years to be so.
For these two firms (Carl Woerman
cheered me as I left with my little
Hatton and Cookson—Ed.) in
spite of wars, etc., are not only
strong in their various branches
and companies but have opened the
trade of Africa and of other lands.
Wherever you meet any of the gen
uine Giants of Commerce you will
always find they are run by gen
tlemen who are even at the pres
ent day bound by sound reasons to
accept each other's burdens for the
sake of commerce which cannot ex
ist without unity.
Troubles on the Wall.
So long for the present Herr Shiff
I said and the good old man gave
me a great handshake. He had been
a daddy to me and knew me better
than I knew myself. I soon arrived
at our new place and had a great
talk with Sinclair. It was a charm
ing trading station, well built and
commodious, with large verandas,
and was well fitted in every way for
what it was intended to be. My ca
noes he agreed should be dispatched
at once, as I was responsible for
their cargo I paid good attention
to the assortment and this being
done, my outfit traders, etc, swung
dear of the wharf aud I wished
them God Sp&d. f made a trader
out of old general Iwolo and divid
ing my rifles and men the outfit
pulled out beautifully and I watch
ed them till they were well away.
I took care to say nothing to the
agent Sinclair of the fight although
he tried hard to sound me. I knew
the cause of my troubles hung
against the wall in his sanctorum.
He was not a timid man, but this
was a fine specimen of an Orkney
; Island girl, his wife at Kittle Toft
of which he often spoke. Poor man,
he left the river after I did intend
ing to return to his native home
I and enjoy his earnings but as was
the case with many others, he died
after landing at Liverpool. And so
did Mr. Carlyle, our Chief Agent at
Gaboon, one of the finest samples
of a gentleman I ever met. All the
i West Coasters have passed away
that I knew when a lad. and most
of them met untimely ends either
being killed by natives or succumb

Find Time to Get Rest If
You Want Good Health
Sooner or Later the Body Will Hebei Against the Con
stant Drive of Work and Excesses, Warns
Authority—Get the Rest Habit.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.,
United States Senator from New York,
former Vommiationer of IIfaith, Sew York City.
“I
HAVE no time to rest,” is a
common excuse for oyer
work. If people would only
realise that time must be found,
there would be less suffering and
eventual loss oi
time from ill
ness.
In this coun
try, at any
(riven time,
there are at
least two and a
quarter million
persons requir
ing medical at
tention of one
kind or another.
The actual ca
pe n d i t ure of
money for this
rare amounts
ur. Copeland I
over iwo billion* of dollars a
year. This does not take into con
sideration the actual loss of time
from work and destruction of tho
earning ability.
Many of these' illnesses could be
avoided. Unfortunately, most per
sons do not realize that rest Is es
sential to good health. They subject
their bodies to mental and phvaicat
excesses that con result In but one
thing—Illness.
The body Ja a mechanism that re.
quires Just so much fuel and care,
buel In the form of food Is an Impor
Unt Item. However, It In of no value
when the care of the body Is neg
lected.
The body requires at least six
hours of rest every day. Personally.
I must linve more. This rest la best
acquired by sound and uninterrupted
sleep. Restless sleep or Interrupted
sleep is of no benefit
Many persons complain of insom
nia, loss of sleep, but they rarely at
tempt to determine Its cause. Regu
lar hours of work nnd rest are im
perative for the general welfare of
tho body. Going to bed at Irregular'
hours soon takes tts efect upon the
overworked mechanism.
Poor food or food hastily and Im
properly chewed, is fuel that the body
docs not tolerate. T-ack of fresh air.
Improper bathing and need of relaxa
tion are factors that must be con
sidered by all. Midnight meals and
consumption of indigestible foods
prior to bedtime are among tho sure
means of producing restless sleep.
Many persons can continue on such
a schedule for a long time. Sooner or
lately however, there will be a danger
signal. If this warning (s unheeded,
grave and often very serious disor
ders result.
It should be the aim of all to pre,
serve strength and health. If you
do not respect your body, you will be
deprived of tho Joys of right living.
Many things can bo purchased but
never health. It Is your gift and
should be cherished and guarded
carefully.

Says Women Best
As Bridge Players
Chicago.-Take the word of Ely
Culbertson, recent w inner of lhe
Harold Vanderbilt bridge champion
ship trophy, for the statement that
women are belter bridge players
than men.
"The average man," said Culbert
son, "thinks he's perfect. He thinks
he has nothing to learn. Women
players know more and study more.
I believe one reason women take to
bridge Is because il gives them an
opportunity to settle the intellectual
score with their husbands at the
card table,”
Not only this, but Culbertson Is
positive" that the black eye bridge
ha* been getting m divorce court#
lately is entirely underserved.
When couples fight at bridge, he
says, it's generally because of some*
thing else happened before they got
to the party. Not only this, he adds,
but lighting It out this way prevents
more serious difficulties, and there
fore prevents more divorces than U)
causes.
