LAiiglsl was an old man married to a young wife, living way down the east coast of New Guinea in the dayB when I waa making my first acquain tance with the other man's point of view. Langlsl had reached the age when to him matrimonial bliss repre sented a quiet retirement from the strain of family matters. His favorite occuoatlon was to sit placidly on the hunt. In (Wit nf hla hnuaA phnwlni? I betel-nut, and giving himself to undis turbed contemplation: surely an old man's right Hut his wife was young and had other Ideas of the way a man should spend his time. Mure iver. she had an extremely sharp tonitue. whkh brought much discord into Langisl'n later days. Langlsl was slliim; as uflual on the beach '.no afternoon, when suddenly his wife came up be hind him and began to abuse him in round terms. Perhaps something In particular had angered her; perhaps she merely happened to be in a ba l temper. At any rate, she bogan to dis sect the old man verbally, stressing, among other deficiencies, the leanness of his hams, a most sensitive point of vanity with a native. She alluded t" all. the points in wht. h the vnuii bucki ot the tribe took tlieii particu lar 'joy and pride, and Inillcntcl, by comparison, his shortcomlnRS tlmiuln. Then she proceeded to benp aiialheinn upon bis person, his ancestors and his descendants to the third and fnurl'.i generation, with the exception of ono or two tor whom she happened to be responsible. Finally she Indulged In a terrific tirade of abuse, In which she made use ot all the stinging InvectlvcB to be mustered from the native tongue. ' The old man. took not the slightest notice of her. He might as well hnve been deaf and dumb. For n time ho simply sat there, chewing botol and electing long stronms of scnrlot Juice, aimed, with unerrlns ncounicy In marksmanship, at a bit of vvlilto oral rock on the edge of the beach. Pei haps he was patiently waiting for his spouse to talk herself hoarse Hi.t her energy was untiring, and at last he got up and crossed a little creek that emptied Itself Into the sea not far from the spot where he had been sitting, and sat himself down again on the op nosite side, lie had by this act In formed his wife very politely, without the use of speech, thai ho was Urol cf hearing her talk and had no wish to continue the conversation, t T'nrortunatoly the lndy refused to be silenced. She Immediately wadod acroBS the little Rubicon aft or him, closed In on him once more and reltor ated her general estimate of his char acter, taking note of any fine points she had possibly omitted from her first rendering. My this time LangiHl was distinctly annoyed. An especially unbearable taunt stung him to the quick. He must have scowled darkly, for the woman laughed and then sud denly screamed out at him all tho abusive, words and oaths In pltlgin Engllsh common to the Islands. This was the climax of her Insults. An istahdor does not mind, as a rule, hearing a white man curse him. Ho merely feels contempt for tho man who loses his dignity, and consldors that he cannot holp his consequent bad manners. But from one native to another! Tho reflection Is obviously one against his birth; for the Implica tion la mado that he knows Kngllsh better than he knows his own dlnloct, and that ho is, In other words, a half caste. Langlsl'a endurance came to an abmpt end. Sotting a lump or coral lying at his feet, ho sprang up and struck his wife a crushing blow on the head. It waa Just at this moment that 1 happened to enter the village, from the other end. Looking straight across the clearing to the sea botween the cluster ot atap'huls, I saw Langlsl strike his wire and I saw hor Instantly crumple and drop at his feot Langlsl, whom 1 knew woll enough by sight, stood atlll on the spit ot sandy beach, sharply silhouetted by the mirror-like glare ot the sea nelilnd him. and kept staring at the stone In his hand as though there were something odd about it filing l.e.-iiiiH.. they found the con-;!mni.-,i i hey n I iimloned co-operative ti n t K!.lcm' more jotlfnctoi-y.

For a series of yearB they claim the contract system worka Letter than any other system that haB been tried. 11 ' In addition to apples a few car loads of pears are shipped from Wat sonvllle and a large quantity of cher ries, apricots and b'errlea. The labor Is Japanene principally, with a few Mexicans, Portuguese and Itullaim There is, according to the newspaper man no anti-Japanese feeling. The Chamber of Commerce co-operates with them and recognizes that they do a kind of work thnt the white men won't do.

I'l-cachi'i's who are so eagerly trying lo do somelhing unusual ht try preaching the old-fashioned gospel. The reason we have a coal situation every winter is because no body cares anything about it in the summer. Perhaps the nations could solve their financial problems by plac ing a hciivy tax on munitions and uniforms. Spring is doubly welcome this lime. The new-style pants are so ooso a man ean get them 011 without a shoe horn. A man has reached bottom if he feels flattered when asked to sign a petition. j If n man doesn't build a big business, he is called a failure; if he does build a big one, ho is culled ft menace. Wt can't help wondering whether tho slow march of the adver cements toward the front of the magazine is considered progress. 'ol'rcet. this sentence: .

I am old and near the finish of my journey through this vale; do my tailor bills diminish, do I spend for lints less kulef No, I haunt the haberdashers', buying everything that's fine; and tho dudes and village mashers have no smoother duds than mine. Though I'm old, I'm still declaring that I am as good as new, though I've many a worn-out bearing, and my feet arc out of true; I am walking circumspectly, in my gorgeous garb bedtight, and my pants arc creased correctly, and my neektie is a sight. For a delegato confesses that ho's dead upon his feet, when he loses pride and dresses like a scarecrow in tho wheat.
