HERE is great grief in the Alun- da Kingdom of Central Africa, for Mwata Yamvo (pronounce it “Matiyambo"), the fourteenth ruler of his dynasty, is dead. Already each of his fingernails and toenails has been taken to a different province and there buried as a holy thing, #o that the natives may worship at this, the latest shrine. ‘Those unfortunate New Yorkenigwho have never become acquainted with Allan Quatermain, nor, read Rider Haggard’s tales of Central Africa, may wonder why on earth one should waste time writing about Central Africa. But # ts a fact that the Alunda nation a century ago was probably the greatest of all uncivil- ized nations, a nation that knew not of the white man nor his works, a nation that fought with the flercenass of the wild man, and trained its boys, witb Spartan-like discipline, to help the reigning Mwata Yamvo to con- quer the world—that world whicd was bounded by the fastness of the African jungle. Four years ago, when the misston station was started at Masumba in the Congo, the white men were re- garded with suspicion, because few of the natives had ever before seen a white man Yet this was @ nation of thousands and thousands of people Kven to-day only an approximate es- timate can be made of its population. So the death of the King, though it has not caused a ripple of interest in the great civilized world, is a matter of tremendous moment in Central Africa, Mwata Yamvo was not a great man, but he was a good King He was friendly to the Belgian Com- missioners when they came to see him and he tried the hundreds of native cases which were brought be fore mim with the utmost zeal.

The court said he was only like a “thousand other fools” He blamed the man, but not the woman, Wise Judge How many such fools there are as Cus young man no one can ever esti mate, There is one bom every day ‘How simple it would be for every young man to discern which is the vainpire type of woman and which is not. The trouble with it all is that ‘vlind youth refuses to be less blind If the truth were known he wants to be fooled, and is the most surprised man when he finds that he has been. And bow will he be able to tell the woman that would worm everything out of him, which is the principal trait of the “vampire,” according to Kipling? In the first place, the woman who is really interested in a man is the very one who tries always to save him trouble instead of urging him to get into it, ax was the case with the young man. She will not want him lo spend bis all on ber, She will not be happy in making « spend- thrift out of hit. ‘The woman “who does not care” is readily recognized. She is very subtle, but you can see her manoeu- vres if you only refuse to be blind. She is constantly crying or cooing things, She would have the moor. if it could be brought to ber. She is careless of a tnan‘e Interests, and is indifferent to his welfare. She only wants the good things of life that he can give ber She does not concern herself how le gets the " so he gets it And when she is through with him he is cast off like an old shoe. And this Kind of a woman, us Kipling says, “never could understani Oh yes, I am sorry to say, ther are such women in the worid, the astire seeking parasites whe prey mich young fools as ¢ before When 1 thnk of the fino, whol some athe Many cf them from whout cvelve letters, whose tives are erayoaly because whey bave noi had the chance to mingje with nice men, I cannot help wishing that such young men would seek out these girls and make comrades of them. Instead, they geem to find the reckless whose motives are purely selfish who “toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all hin glory was not arrayed as one of theme.” Guch so-called ftoos awake some day, But they usually have paid a big price for their experience, as the Bronx young man has found. They are glad then to turn to the girl who has character in her make-up, who does care, and who nas a conscience, Oh, there is the big thing! Sometimes I marvel at men and the lengths they will go to please a woman, and yet never stop to con- sider whether that woman is worthy. Little do they realize the @reat re eret that eventually comes, ‘The saddest part of i, however, ls the fact that many auch men become embittered against their mothers’ sex and think that all women are ke the one who has fooled them. The truth is that there are many won derfal and good women in the world women highly purposed and well balanced—who do not live in the tm- mediate present but who have @ vision of love and happiness and a home and family of their own. The “vampire” type of woman is soon dis~ covered {¢ only man would stop, look and listen before he spends too much and perhaps himself In the process.
