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

and seldom visited. 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.

Tho doctor told mo to como East to
Dattlo Crcok, Mich., whore ho was go

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

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.

The best shortcakes are mado with
out BwentnnltiEr nu1 wltlimir nrin Thi'
dough should be handler:
as llttlo and ns lightly at

much easier If they aro

theso layers sdparato without rough
edges or aro not as apt to soak when
tho berries aro added. If liked as In
dividual cakes cut out with a largo bis
cuit cutter. These may bo prepared
as the largor ones were, or split and
spread with butter nnd berries.
A good recipo for shortenkos is tho
following: Tako two cupfuls of flour,
one-half teaspoonful of salt, three tea
spoonfuls of baking powdor, threo ta

As tho oyo Is an Important organ
to pleaso In regard to food, It Is qulto

touch of color In the garnish and dull

courses.

of serving tho same food repeated In

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. Another way to
uso lemon and paraloy Is to cut a
thin slice, leaving on tho colorful yol
