Tba Bahamas have no descendant

found there. They were carried away
by the Spaniards to work In mines
and pearl fisheries elsewhere, when
they were not ruthlessly exterminated.
Of the white population many are the
descendants of the Loyalists of Geor

Manners vs. Mannerism.
There's a vast difference between
manners and mannerisms. For In
stance, manners takes Its soup softly
and quietly, while mannerism gargles
It. Manners says: "Parss the buttah,
please;" while mannerism bites a
chunk out of a piece of bread and
stutters: "Slip me the grease, will
you?" Detroit Free Press.
VALUE OF PINEAPPLE JUICE.
Delightful Drink Is Now to Be Had
In Convenient Form.
The man who thinks out and brings
out a new food preparation usually has
to create the "long-felt want" which
he fills. In tackling the pineapple
juice problem, no such difficulty con
fronted James I). Dole, of Honolulu.
When we eat pineapple it is for the
juice alone, and less fibrous and more
tender the fruit, the juicier it is and
the better we like it.
When the doctor orders pineapple in
-ases of thVoat trouble or certain stom
ach and intestinal difficulties it is the
pure, uncooked juice pressed from the
ripest obtainable fruit which he
wants his patient to have. It is this
same refreshing juice which the nurse
gives fever convalescents where cool
ing and slightly acid drinks are desir
able. So pineapple juice already had a
place.
The problem then, to be solved, was
how to get the pure juice of pineapple
on the market in Buch a form that it
would please the healthy lover of the
fruit, and be useful to the doctor and
the nurse. A syrup would not do, be
cause of the impossibility of suiting
individual tastes. Even the juice of
the finest Hawaiia canned pineapple
would not answer with its small quan
tity of preservative pure cane sugar,
because the physician needs to regulate
he amount of sugar prescribed. To
make a long story short, Mr. Dole
spent years in experiments which fin
ally resulted in the Hawaiia Pineapple
juice which bears his name.
Dole's is the Juice of "Picked Ripe"
Hawaiian Pineapples pressed out and
bottled on the Islands where the fruit
grows. Filtered, refined, sterilized in
the bottle, retaining all the natural
flavor and aroma, not a bit of sugar,
water, preservative, or anything else
is added. It has been four months on
the market. During this time the
Juice has been distributed all over the
United States, in some parts in ample
quantities, while in others the supply
has been very restricted.
Its success has been most gratifying
and unprecedented.
In its favor were the previous favor
able reception of Haiwaian Pineapple,
the general knowledge of its high
quality, the therapeutic values of
pineapple juice known to the medical
profession, and the remarkable pro
duct itself. So, four months have
sufficed to give this new drink a large
hold upon the people of the country
until the demand is practically unlimited.

Mrs. Llghtner of Paris, Mo., Defrauded
by Man Representing Self as Mu
sic House Agent Prize Hopf
Violin Proves Bogus.
New York. Carrying a carefully
wrapped bundle in both arms and
mumbling excitedly to herseif, 'Tve got
It," a little oid womati stepped nerv
ously into the violin department of
Lyon & Healy, this city.
five minutes later she was carried
to a car, moaning hysterically. What
she believed to be a genuine Hopf
vioiiu, an almost priceless instrument,
proved to be a fiddle not worth $3.
She had been swiudieu, she said, out
of her homo a farm worth $2,000
bought with her life's savings.
The woman was Mrs. J. M. Llghtner
Of Paris, Mo., she told a pathetic story
lo the oriicers of the piano house.
Early In July, she said, she was ap
proached by a man giving the name of
N. M. Swing, representing himself as
in agent of Lyon & Healy. He said
that he was searching for a rare Hopf
violin for which he asserted the com
pany would pay $5,000. A confederate
giving the , name of Price then ap
peared In Monroe, Mo., with the Instru
ment and Mrs. Llghtner hunted him
up and bought the vioyn.
"I had to go twenty-four miles to
And Mr. Price," wrote Mrs. Llghtner
In a letter to Lyon & Heealy. "He
had heard that the violin was very
valuable and I had to pay him $2,000
for It. I didn't have that much money
and deeded over my farm to him."
Ewing never called at the Llghtner
home to buy the Instrument The
victim became suspicious and wrote
Lyon & Healy on August 27, making
inquiry about the agent and asking
what price would be given for the vio
lin. A reply was sent stating that no
such person as N. M. Ewing was in
the employ of the company. Then
Mrs. Llghtner was also notified that
It would be necessary to see the violin
before any price could be made.
After learning how she had been
swindled Mrs. Llghtner took the first
train for home.

Don't Make Friends With the Cat,
Warning Since Animals
Shooed From Farm.
Ipswich, S. D. Don't make friends
with a cat, Is the advice given here
since the Invasion of this county seat
town by skunks began several days
ago.
As Willard Brown, a prominent resi

attempted to pick up what he took to
be the old house cat, but he was mis
taken and was fined a new suit of
clothes.
A day or two later one of the odor
iferous animals was found starting
upstairs In a business block.
Knute Knutesen, a farmer In Clear
Lake Township, has a skunk farm,

OYSTER BITES MAN'S TONGUE
Restaurant Keeper Placed Tiny Shell
In Mouth as Temporary
Storehouse.
Warsaw, Ind. L. C. Hamman, a
restaurant keeper, was waiting on a
customer when he noticed among the
raw oysters he was serving one tiny
fellow, shell and all. He removed It
from the plate and placed It In his
mouth for safe keeping until through
waiting on his customer.
In response to the warmth, the oys
ter opened its shell, then closed as
nearly as possible, barring the impedi
ment of a tiny hit of Hamman's
tongue. This was followed by a series
of loud yells by Hamman.

Cow Charges Laundry.
Dayton, Wash. AH work was sus
pended In the ironing department of
a laundry here when a cow, being
driven to slaughter by Basil brothers,
became infuriated and, dashing
through an open door Into the wash
ing plant, sent frightened women pell
mell through all the available exits.
The cow was Infuriated by a red
apron worn by ono of the ironers.
At work in another department of
the laundry, R. B. Cady heard the
feminine screams for help and lassoed
the animal. After the red apron had
vanished the animal became quiet and
was driven from the building. Then
the dozen Ironers went timidly back
to work.

Seemingly Nothing Remained but to
Meet the End Without Cowardly
Complaint.
The roaring and shrieking of the
tempest, the thunder of the waves,
that Jarred the whole fabric with a
shock like earthquake, made fitting
accompaniment for the gloomy
thoughts that possessed me. Home,
Mends, life Itself all seemed lost.
Only one thing remained to meet the
end quietly, without any cowardly
complaint. I fell Into a sort of men
tal stupor, while all my physical en
ergies were concentrated in hanging
on to my position on the windward
side of the cabin, my feet braced
against the deck, my hands hooked
Inside the edge of the berth. Now
and then came a lull in the fury of the
gale, and I could hear a faint, wailing
cry like the call of little turkey chicks
strayed from their mother peep!
peep! pee-eo-eep! Here was food for
speculation. What in the world could
It be that made a noise like little tur
keyB? To solve that riddle immedlate
'y became the most engrossing thing.
After much search I discovered the
source of the sound; the wind was
blowing against the companionway,'
rebounding from that and whistling
through the keyhole of the cabin door.
A door In the bulkhead Bwung open
and In came Manuel, smiling affably
and reassuringly.
"Ah-h-h!" he exclaimed, "ver bad

There Is not enough room on this
page to describe the long siege of
horror that settled down upon us. It
lasted for two days nnd a half. One
by one the pilots came down Into the
cabin to put on dry mittens and hang
up the wet ones that were freezing
their fingers. No fire could be made
for two days; for should another
Knockdown happen, the scattered
coals might set fire to the ship. I
don't think anybody ate anything
from Monday's breakfast until next
day; but my memory as to meals at
this time is vague, inasmuch as fear
(not seasickness) had driven away
from me all idea about food. William
