The people have the reputation of being a ver tough Int. While it was a province of the Turkish empire the zrand Turk ‘ound it was most profitable to let ihem pretty much alone. Its state of <ivilization may be inferred from the fact that it has no railroads, next to ne sehools, no banks and no currency of its own. When it broke loose from Turkey it worked along with or without a government, as seemed convenient, hut was resolute in declining to be governed by any of ils neighbors, all of which want it. It is hard to se why.

Three weeks ago he invited sixteen of his friends to his bachelor apart- ment for dinner. It was perhaps one of the most lavish dinners ever given in a city where fine feasts are common. Th table was a bower of rare orchids. The service was gold. There were cocktails, old vintage wine and rare cordials.* And especially made cigars that cost 35 each. At each plate was a souvenir— monogrammed gold cigarette cases for the men and diamond-studded cigarette holders for the women. The host sat at the head of the table, his face drawn from _ever-present pain, but apparently enjoying every moment. When coffes had been served he arose. “This little dinner™ he said, “is in the nature of a farewell. Each jone of you has been a loyal friend in good times and bad. 1 am oon- templating a _very long journey. Tt is quite possible that after tonight 1 shall see you no more. “Fortune has been very kind to me. 1 have received cards and a few bad. have made a mess of my life, yet if I had it to livei over again I do not know that I would have it changed. I do not want you, my friends, to think me whining. All my life I have tried to be what o world calls a ‘good fellow.” There e many who scoff at the term. It might not be much of an ambition, but I found it worth while. So I'm #oing to ask you to rise and raise your glasses to a good fellow who is going away. Three mornings later they found him in bed cold in death. ISLAND DWELLERS FLEE. Babuyan Inhabitants Terrorized by Activity of Volcano. By the Associated Press. MANILA, June 14—The inhabi- tants of the Island of Babuyan, in the Babuyanes group, thirty miles north of the Island of Luzom, on which Manila is situated, have fled the island in a panic because of the continued activities of the volcano Babuyau Claro, according to advices brought by the coast guard vessel Pathfinder. The volcano has been in a state of activity several weeks. A report reaching here May 31 said it was throwing out smoke and lava, The inhabitants, the Pathfinder's officers said, had escaped from Babu- yan on rafts constructed by an American lumberman named Sapp. Who took the entire population of the Place to Camiguin, southeast member of the Babuyanes group, and gave them employment in his sawmill. LOST MINES IN ARIZONA. A Legend of Ancient Gold Diggings in State Still Persists, From Popular Mechanics. Of all the legends of buried treas- ure, the most persistent 1s the one about the lost gold mines of Only the Indians are supposed to gae: sess the secret of this baffling mys- tery, although the story has been cir- culated for more than a century. That there once were mines in the region is indicated by references found in early Spanish diaries and by the tales passed down through sev. eral generations of natives who were compelled to dig the ore as slaves of their conquerors. The chief evidence In support of the tradition is the altar of the San Xavier mission, not far from Tucson. It is described as being “inlaid with virgin gold.” Mise sion records show that the precious metal was brought from Canada del Oro where it was mined by Indians under the direction of Spanish priests. But no trace now exists of the dig- gings, and the old trail over which the gold is said to have ed by pack mules disappears abruptly in A the sands.
