6 THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTOJUA, OREGON. SUNDAY, JANUARY 1,1, 1007. M. CLAM IN WALL STREET (Continued from r"e S.) lo lnvi'd those people, Why shoul ! 1- not love? They nvi'i' lilm rich wl'h ease.

JYotiw, yet cheap." Aft-T the lunch M. Van Hibb. r uC) reurtcy did introduce me lo another famous millionaire, M. tSrlppenn.:'.

Often that stimulation is s powerful that lht company tuns away! It cannot restrain the exuberance! M. Grippermaii is busy always witii H companies which need stimulant ind with the infant new companies. These patients are frail also. Yet M t'lrippeiman has always the life-saving i rparatus at hand. With kindness M. Grippennan in- ited me to remain in his office during cne meeting of those directors! Terhaps, to-morrow, 1 shall be one of those directors! M. Grippennan did rot say so much, but I have a suspio len of good luck. As those millionair es appeared I was introduced to them. All greeted me with politeness. On rHlllonaire said: "Ah, M. Clam! 1 see by that newspaper today that you h.iv- closed the deal for Boa Constrictor. You, then, are the partner of M. Rothschild? Those Rothschilds ar ny dear friends cf clv.hiho. !." I said: "M. Gates do s honor me t i.-.ueh. I know nothing of M, Roths child. It is the American joke." The reply: "Ha. ha! All right, M. Clam. If you wish to remain incoi; eto, very well!" Diable! "What could I do? j Immediately M. Grippennan did call these directors to order. He said: 'Are all ready? Very well. First, v. ,re directors of Subterranean Limited.

Sleu In Africn. ami especially iu !! foutral AfricH, believe that their woui en Are their Interiors, and nutty ecu turles jtiro, says the Chicago Trib ime, they tuaiU' a law that has worn it seif iuto n custom (list women tuns mknowlodite this by til ways kuceliuj when tlicy moot a man. iMiff MacdotiitUI, who spent maaj years as a missionary iu ttiur cotnitry, ays Unit African women hold a most uYKnulod position a tut ur? looked upor pretty Kcucrally as boasts of hunlft caiMble of doinc all the hanl work When :i woniiui uiwts any man, be il her husband or a straticr, tit home ot on the toiul she is expected to "taidi Wii!a"-that is, to ktitvl and clap ttoi bunds to the lord of creation as b p:iSMs. Although a wouiau may hav tlaves of her own, she observe this custom whenever she meets thetu on the highway. MaedonsUl adds: "Whenever we saw woman go out of her way with the Intention of kuoellng before us, though she carried a hundredweight ou her head, knowing that she would have to get up with It, we shouted, 'You are losing your way; this is the path,' aud he took It, glad that she might dis pense with this custom." Certain It is that If the African wo man kneels before a stranger or slave she prostrates herself most humbly be fore her husband, her lord and master He Is her father, and she is hJ child; he commands, and she obeys; he may Uifllct punishment, and she accepts it. The title of "father" is given to all old people. A man of thirty will say "I am only a child; ask the old man." The woman must submit, of course. She is her husbaud's chattel; lie has bought her for two skiiis of buck and this is a fair price for one wife fie often pets thetu in payment foi debts. If a girl is not a lirst wife she counts for little, ;ts these Africans usually have one chief wife and three or four minor wives. A man who is married a few years Is expected to have junior wives. The chief wife has the super intendence of the others and looks after the household. The punishment she Inflicts for laziness Is to banish the Junior wife from her meals until hun ger brings her to her senses. If a Junior wife Is obstreperous she Is put In a slave stock. The authority of a chief wife is not a matter to Jest with. If a junior wife gets unruly the whipping post is made use of. This does not annoy her lord, for African men have little sentiment for their wives and feel none for th!r Junior wives. They are his chattels, having the same value as his cattle, perhaps less. When a man is pressed for money be usually sells bis wife and cot his cattle. Tie expects them to cul tivate, the soil and cut dowu the trees, and when bo ;;!als time or has the in cHnation ho ihem. Why Mrtnia It'ual, Gold does not tarnish like oilier metal because it Is not tided upon by oxygen or water. It Is the moisture Iu the t musphero which causes other m,tli , titrulsb, owing to their oxidation. Wa ter contains a large proportion of oxy gelt, and It is the oxygen, of c ntl'sit In the 'iniist air combining with the surface of the metals that covers lliein with tarnish.
