THE SEMI.WEEKLY TRIDUNE, NORTH PLATTE. NEDRASKA. MAY BE QUEEN OF LONELY ISLE IN THE PACIFIC Miss Emily McCoy Is Descendant of Bounty Mutineer Who Settled There. FATHER IS PRESENT RULER She Came to America Elaht Years Ago to Study Medicine and Nursing to Help Her People Anxious to Return Now and Take Up Her Work. Bridgeport, Conn. Miss Emily Mc Coy, ft graduate nurse living hero, has announced to her friends that after eight yearn' study and tondorly caring for strangers in their Illness, sho was going homo to her crwn people, the Inhabitants of Pltcalrn Inland, far off In tlio Pacific. Mlsa McCoy looks to bo twenty eight or thirty, though she smilingly refuses to testify as to this, lias mid night black hair, soft ollvo-whito skin that suggests sunnier Bkics than Con necticut's, kindly hanol oyes and a pleasant round face denoting serious ness and Intelligence. Sho is largo and competent looking, tho kind of woman that a nervo-racked patient llkea to sea enter tho sickroom. To Bridgeport she hns been known as a quiet, retiring, ministering angel in times of distress In prominent fami lies. When her friends Inquired whoru her homo was and who hor pcoplo wcro, tho romance of tho South seas camo out, though a few of them had known it all along. A "Princess Royal." Miss McCoy Is tho daughtor of "King" J, n. McCoy, iiosldent,of tiny Pltcalrn lslddd, which is two and a half miles long a lot of land in tho mid-eastern Pacific ocean, little known oven to mariners bectvuso of Its great dlstanco from other land. It Ilea south of tho Paumotu archipelago and is 300 miles from tho nearost member of this group. It is seven miles in circum ference, of volcanic origin, with shores rising almost perpendicularly to groves of cocoanut, plantain, banana, orange and breadfruit. In this tropical para dise Emily McCoy was born, and des tined, according to local usago, to become its "queen." Her father and her grandfather had long ruled as "kings" tho handful of people. A glamour of romance' hangs about the Island and Its people from tho fact that it' was originally settled in 1790 by tho mutineers of tho English ship Zlounty, consisting qf Fletcher Christian, tho leader of tho mutiny, eight EngllBhmon. six Polynesian men and twolvo Polynesian women. It was not until 1808 that tho outsldo world heard of tho reniarkablo colouy Chore. In 1825 Captain neechoy found here a colony of CO people undor tho patri archal rule of John Adams, tho only Englishman left, who had risen to Uia emergency and tralnod tho growing generation in education, religion and husbandry. Thoro woro nialo and fo male descendants of AdamB, Edwin Young, Matthew" McCoy and Matthow Quintal, which names, with those of Uoorgo JIunn, Nobbo, who later Joined tho colony, alono exist today. Tho colony hns boon a , law-abiding, up right community slnco its discovery In 1825, when Uoochoy was astonished to Hud thoro a race of, people speak ing and writing English, living In Arcndlan simplicity awl dovotlng them nelves to agriculture, religion and music. Only four generations havo grown from the founders. Miss McCoy 1b of the third generation, . Woman Vojo There. "Our peoplo are simple in their lives." said ,M1sb McCoy, "Thoro rtro only, 105 souls on tho island, and ships seldom visit us unloss thoy need vogo tablos, and tho only ship that wo nro sura to see is tho yearly visit of a BrIU Jsh warship, which is not allowed to carry womon, tho lBland boing within tho jurisdiction pt the British hjgh commissioner of tho Paclllc.

Thoro Is no competition for public ofllco, and my fathor and grand father havo hold tho ofllco for years, "Thoro has never boon a rosldont physician on tho Island, for thoro Is little sickness among un, and tho peo ple know nlmost iiothlug of modlcluo as It Is practiced outsldo, It was be cause of tho sutforlng of my mother uoforo hor doath that I determined to go away and study mcdlclno and nurs ing that I might bo of more uso to my people.

I camo to San Francisco, expecting that from therev i nuouiu stand a better chance of get ting a ship that would touch there. "For nine months I was in California waiting, and finally, seeing no chance, 1 decided to Improve my time by con tinuing my ehullee of medicine, den tlstry and nursing, aHd wrote to a friend In Philadelphia whoso husband. a doctor, had onco visited Pltcalrn. Tho doctor told mo to como East to Dattlo Crcok, Mich., whore ho was go Ing, nnd tnko n postgraduato courso In nursing thoro. This I did. 1 was enjoying myself seeing tho wonders of America. Everything was strange. I havo stood and looked up at tho big buildings In Chicago nnd Now York and wondered if I was dreaming. At homo we live In little thatched one story 1ious6b, very neat nnd pretty, but without stairs. I never saw stairs until I camo to America, nnd I am not qulto used to them after eight years. Wants to Go Back. "After graduating from Uattlo Crcok I came East with a patient nnd Anally to Now York nnd Bridgeport, where I havo been since. But always I havo wanted to get back. AlwayB I havo watched for ships that would surely touch at Pltcalrn. In the meantime rny peoplo there havo gono on much as thoy always havo, living their bcautl ful lives. There Is no money In cir culation there, nono of tho crlraos of tho big outside world, no Intoxicants, nnd though thoy raise tobacco nd one smokes. There Is no discussion of buffrago argumonts because, womon havo always voted. I havo seldom heard from thorn; It was over a year tho last tlmo that I waited for a letter from home, and thoy waited for a ship to como and get it. One of the few letters brought mo news of the death of tho young man to whom I was en gaged. When tho Panama canal was oponed It promised a short cut to tho Island, with tho probability that some ships would land at my homo, and I determined to go. But recently, whon I had mado plans, there camo a slide In tho canal and I havo been waiting now for thut to bo cleared. "I want to got back and begin car ing for ray own. Though I am not a physician I know enough nbout medi cine to tako caro of ordinary cases, and there is no law thoro against my doing It. I havo dono all sorts of dontnl work except gold illllngs." Miss McCoy hopes to help 'develop her Island. Twenty-eight kinds of fruit are grown thoro, and sho thinks a canning factory would pay. Tho cllmato is Ideal; sho never saw snow until Bho reached California. As wom en vote In hor Island thero is no reason why a woman shouldn't bo prcsldont, and though sho says sho Isn't going aftor tho Job, sho might not rofuso it, uocausb It would enable her ,to bo of inoro service. She is very fond of music, as aro tho Tahltlan pcoplo, and she will carry back with her a piano. Tho only other musical Instru ment on tho Island is an organ, given to tho natives by Queen Victoria muny years' ago. Although tho young man to whom Mia was cngagod Is dead, and thero aro moro woiSon than men on tho Island) thero aro still cllglblo young men thoro, sho admitted whon dony lng with merry eyes that sho was going to tnko back anyone with hor.

RAZORBACKS ARE ALMOST EXTINCT Civil War Order Increased Orig inal Proves of Wild Hogs in Ozarks. YIELD TO BETTER STOCK Generations of Continuous Inbreed ing and Foraging for Food Caused Original Thoroughbreds to Re vert to Wild State. Kansas City, Mo. From CO to 75 years ago tho Onirics woro sparsely settled. Peoplo did not ralso hogs, but let them raise thomsolves. When tho larder was empty, Instead of go ing to tho well-kept pigpen and kill ing a fumlly pot that was sleek and fat, thoy took down tho gun and went forth In tho forest to stalk" and slay an - animal with the body of a sun fish and tho heud of an anteatcr. It Is thickly covered with bristles, those along tho vcrtobrno being llttlo short of spines. In other words, It Is tho razorback hog of tho Ozarks, which, when fully grown and thor oughly aroused, is about as formldablo In a light as his prototype, the wild boar of Russia. He is tho descendant of tho few real hogs that woro brought into tho country by tho earliest set tleru nnd turned out to shift for them selves. A dozen generations of continuous Inbreeding and predatory foraging for wild food will causo any thoroughbred hog to revert to what tho razorback really la, a wild hog. Tho Civil war was tho cause of largo. accessions to tho numbers of razor backs until, a dozen' years later, they ranged tho country In great drbves. Undor order No. 11 tho farm lands of tho four best counties on the west ern border of Missouri wore depopu lated In 15 days. Very few of theso pcoplo wore ablo to tako their hogs with thorn. As tho winter storms of a couplo of mouths later camo down on them from tho north tho pigs would naturally drift ahead of tho weather, until thoy found thomselvcs In tho timber of tho Ozarks, with an abun dartco of acorns and nuts, their favor ite wild food. Missouri Hogs to Mountains. So far as order No. 11 Is responsible for tho relapse of Missouri hogs Into Arkansas razorbacks is concerned, I freely admit, writes a correspondent tif tho Star, that It is largely conjectural and theoretical; but a dozen years la tor, with tho advent of tho red leg grasshoppers, camo another epoch In tho history of tho razorbacks. , .Tho grasshopper scourgo struck tho Missouri valloy In 187C and cleaned up and destroyed all vogotatlon so com pletely that meadows, farms and lawns all had tho nppoaranco of plowed ground. Very fow peoplo who had hogs had anything for them to oat. Thoy woro theroforo forced to ship evory fat hog to tho packets "to savo their lives," and ovory stock hog to districts beyond tho country devas tated by tho -hoppers. In tho spring of 187G tho eggs left In tho ground by tho hoppors tho fall be fore hatched out In numbers BuIIlclont to cat ovory Blgn of greonnoss that showed Itself up to Juno. Then thoy arose In clo'uds that darkened the sun and departed. In tho meantime our hog territory wns .practically without a hog and thero was consequently a scramblo to kcop our market going with hdgs for tho packers, and an oven 'I greater ono on tho part of tho ralsor to restock his placo With young ones to grow Into money. Shippers went to tho Ozarks and soon a strcain of razorbacks ppured into our market; Just how many they bought and paid somobody for, and how many thoy "annexed"-1 novcr know, but for a tlmo they woro thick enough at tho yards tS make us very tlrod of razorbacks. Razorback Has Seen .His Day. Tho packers took tho old hogs at a prlco somowhnt below that of good hoga and wo got rid of thorn all right,' but tho pigs woro so thin and Bmall that thoy seomed to molt awny through the cracks in tho fences and. under tho gates. Every load of thorn was represented by claims for short ago from tho count Info tho yards. Whon I say that ilfty fat hogs were a fair load for ono of tho 30-foot cars thou In uso and that I counted out of ono of tho Rfuno sized cars 9.17 razor bucks tho rcador may got an Idea of what thoy woro to handle. Tho shlppor had built Into tho car two oxtra docks or Uoors, but ovon then thoro were moro than six times as many to the dock as of ordinary hogs. Tho industry did not lnBt long, na tho stock hogs required about three times us long to mature, and, of course, throo tlnies na much feed, and thoy would not do at all to restock n farm, being Inforlor In ovory respect to what tho markot demands as a de sirable hog, and they woro soon crowd ed out by importations from territory that was stocked with good breeds. Tho razorback has soon his day, and In a fow decades moro will become ex tinct aa tho buffalo; yloldlng his placo to tho Berkshire and Mageo, as the buffalo bus to tho Horeford and tho Shorthorn.

As tho oyo Is an Important organ to pleaso In regard to food, It Is qulto necessary that wo prepare our food so that It appeals to tho Bight.

A beet salad cut In small cubes, dressed with a boiled or a mayonnalEo dressing that has been tinted with pink coloring, using somo of tho beet water or a llttlo vegetRblo color, is a most pleasing and appetizing dish. A small crescent of lemon and a Bpray of parsley makes a most- dainty garnish for a whltoflsh. For tho fish courso nt dinner a crescent of potato rolled In chopped parsley furnishes tho bit of vegetnblo that la always tasty with tho fish.
