ped travelling. I come from a land that
you can never reach"
So spoke the aged traveller; but the lad
only laughed as he said:
Il should like to see the land you come
from, and 1 shall journey till reach it,"
That you can never do" answered the
old one; but the boy only laughed again.
Then, seeing that the old mans moe
casius were worn, he offered him new
pair, which were gratefully accepted. AS
they were parting the stranger said:
Here, take this box; It may help you
in your travel"
And the young Indian lad. taking the
box. which had a cover, slipped il into his
pouch and went on his way.
When evening fell he lighted a fire and
cooked some game that mis- arrow had en-
abed him to obtain. Then, sitting down to
rest he felt the box in his pouch and
wondering what il contained he slipped
Off the cover.
Wonder of wonders! What did he be-
hold! There within The box was the figure
Of a tiny man, dancing away for dear life
and showing in his actions the fatigue that
he felt from his exertions.
"Hello Who are your" the boy cried.
The moment the light struck the little
man he stopped dancing, and looking up,
he said
"Well. what now? What do you want
of sne?'
Then the lad understood what the box
was for. Here was a manitou, a god from
the spirit world, and all he had to do was
to command it and it would obey his every
word. With joy in his heart he cried out
Take me to the land whence the old
man came"
THAT I willr' the doll answered.
Suddenly ali grew dark about the young
Indian he felt himself grow dizzy, and
the next moment he tainted. When he
awoKe he found himself outside a strange
Indian village, and he knew that he was
where the old man had wandered from.
Now, it was a custom among the In
dams, that when a visitor entered a
strange village he should stop at the first
lodge he approached. Following this habit
the lad entered the wigwam on the out
skirts of the village. He was cordially re-
ceived by the only occupant, an aged wo-
man, who invited him TO the upper part
of the tent, the place of honor
But suddenly his hostess began to weep
and moan, and would not be quleted Ask
ing the cause of her sorrow the boy was

Know" she said, chat we have a
mighty chief in our camp and every time
z stranger comes he gives him some diff
cult task TO perform which, should he fail
to do, brings with it the penalty of failure,
which Is that ne must dlei put 10 90 the
task is but to meet death in another way,
therefore, l weep for thee. For many 9TH

art, have tried and failed, and fear that

'IIo, no! Is that lt?" cried the youth;

These brave words quoted the old wo-
man. but her fears were not gone.
Soon cpgaad and raaNhpd fba
ears of the chief. that a stranger was in
the village. Immediately he sent a naughty
message that he should appear before him.
But the boy sent laughter message in
reply, and refused to obey the chief.

GEN. JUAN AROLAS.
Career In Philippines of the Present
Military Governor of Havana.

Career In Philippines of the Present
Military Governor of Havana.
Professor Dean C. Worcester of the Uni
versity of Michigan, contributes to the
September Century an article on THE
Malay Pirates of the Philippines" Speak
ing of the island of Sulu, where the dread
ed AIoros made their headquarters Prof.
Worcester says:
Gen. Juan Arolas was the governor of
the island at the time. Arolas, who is at
present the military governor of Havana,
is a man with a history. He has always
been an outspoken Republican, ready TO
fight for his convictions. In the days of
Republican success in Spain he is said TO
have cast the throne out of window by
way of showing his respect for royalty.
After the fall Of the Spanish republic he
continued to display what was considered
to be unseemly activity; and there is little
doubt that when he was "honored' with
an appointment as governor of Sulu, it
was with the intention of exiting him 70
place from which he would be unlikely 10
return. The town was very unhealthy,
the defenses were inadequate, and the gar
rison was in constant danger of annihila-
ton.
Arolas was a man Of many resources
and of tremendous energy. His wretched
town was peopled by native troops, Chi
nese traders and deported convicts; but in
spite of the unfavorable conditions which
confronted him, he at once set himself 10
improving things. He made prisoners of
the Moros, and compelled them to work I'm

been made impregnable. lie improved the
sanitation of the town, changing it from
a perfect pest hole to an unusually healthy
place He constructed water works, built
a splendid market place, and established
a free school system and a thoroughly
equipped hospital His town became the
wonder of the Philippines
Meanwhile he was making soldiers out
of his sloveniy native troops. After put
ting his town in a satisfactory condition
and teaching his soldiers how to shoot, he
sent 10 the Manila for authority to attack
the Moro stronghold at NAHUM. 1t is said
that his request was three times refused
and he was warned that his two regiments

CHINESE PECULIARITIEs.
The Army the Most Unique Organiza-
ton In the World.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Maj A e. J. Cavendish, late military
attache with the Chinese army, says that
in many respects the army of China pre-
sents a curious example of the unfittest In
the broad outlines its scheme is simple and
suited to the country; nevertheless, with
the characteristic Chinese love of detail,
in its minutiae it is exceedingly complex.
Owing TO an equally characteristic want
of exacltude, although returns as render
ed by separate accountants are often
beautifully worked out to the thousandth
part of q taei, yet in a combination OF
these returns nothing balances. Every
province has its separate army"
The writer gives an Interesting account
of these forces, and, proceeding to general
remarks says Much of the utter def
cheney of China9 army is explained by the
native saying, do not use good steel to
make nail, nor take a good man to
make a soldier" which is most thorough
ly acted up to.
on almost every occa sion in 1S94-95 the
Chinese troops refused 10 stand up TO the
despised Japanese. Small wonder! when of
the hundreds of thousands who, since 1862,
nave been drilled with foreign weapons,
not one in 5000 has been taught their
tice is limited generally to handling the
weapons, and instruction in the use of
rifles aud fed guns is not thought neces-
sary; nay. it is opposed.
In January. 1895. several thousands of
men had been collected at Shanghai-Kuan,
under Gen. Wu-ta- cheng, to reinforce the
army in Manchuria. New rifles and field
guns had been served out and the force
was 10 move early in February; YET on
Jan 20, the men fired their rifles for the
first time and barely 1 per cent. of hits
on a target 200 yards distant ensued; as
for the guns not soul knew how 10 load
them or set a fuse, and when at length
one was fred with the aid of the foreigners
present, the ammunition was so defective
that although the gun was laid for 5000
yards, the shell only Travelled $50. Yet
these men We're sent north to fight at
Tien-chuang-tia without further training
instruction by a foreigner having been
haughtily refused.
To be a soldier is to lose caste in China
to imbibe foreign notions is worse still;
and incurs the hatred and suspicion of the
civilians, who in reality govern the army
and navy, so much so that 10 be a gradu-
ate of the foreign schools is an almost
certain bar to promotion. In the military
and other schools established by Sir Rob
ert Hart and the viceroys at Peldng and
elsewhere the students have TO be bribed

THE CHIEFS MAGIC BOX.
a Romantic Legend Told Among the
MfcmacIz Indians.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A grand old forest stretched for miles
upon miles over the land. The majesty
of its shade was broken by glimmers Of
sunshine, which darted hither and thith-
er through leafy branches, and touhed
them into gold as a Midas finger might.
The glades were alive with the songs
and the chatter of many kinds of BIRDS
and animals. and rivers, and falls, and
brooks, and lakes giided and rushed, and
babbled. and smiled, in the otherwise
hushed wilderness
BY and by there came a tribe of Indians
10 one lovely spot, a mighty chief with all
his household. They erected lodges and
roamed the hills and the forest. bringing
home game and prospecting in all they did.
Other tribes became their neighbors,
some friendly, many hostile, and fierce
battles were fought, and the great chief
was sometimes defeated, but generally he
was victorious.
Seven sons inherited their fathers cour-
age and strength, and six of them went
with him on all expeditions, while the
youngest only lad as yet, stayed in the
wigwam with his mother and helped her
in her work.
cross and domineeTing, and the youngest
bore the brunt of his displeasure. Soon
he began to punish the child, Withholding
his proper allowance of food, and in other
ways ill-treating him.
So time went by till the boy could stand
Il no longer; and asking his mother to
make him a bow and arrow, and thirty
pairs of moccasins, he left his home.
On starting out he shot the arrow
straight from the bow running in the di-
rection it fell. This he continued TO do
TIL he outran the arrow. and arrived at
the spot where it would fall while yet
1t was in the air. So he wandered on all
day, and had Travelled very far.
In the evening the father and the broth
erz returned and the eldest son was indig-
nant and angered when lie learned that
the youngest was no longer there to serve
him. He determined to set out and find
him and bring him home, but he waited
for the morning.
He started early and Travelled all day
following the boys tracks, and rested
over night This he did for a hundred
days, and only at the end of that time
did he see any sign of his brothers hav-
ing rested or built fire. Indeed, he had
come in one hundred days only as far as
the boy had travelled in one day. So in
despair he returned homei but we will
follow the younger brother.
BY means of the magic arrow he trav-
eled so fast that he was soon many king
dons away from his home. One day he
met an old man whom he accosted:
"whither away, old father and whence
come you? 1 have travelled for a long
distance and 1 seek my fortune in the
world"
"You have Travelled long distance?
Your journey is nothing to mine, for 1

and now 1 am DID, and have never stop
