A PHILIPPINE BOY.
Able to Manage one OF the Huge
Water BuGaIOes, Used There
a. "a Beust of Burden.

Charles g. Howard contributes to
St. Nicholas a story or the Philippines,
under the title Of y ianito and Jefe. .
Mr.. Howard says:
On an obscure little island in the
Philippine group stands an obscure lit
tie native village; and in this village
there stood, few years ago, certain
hut, built, like the Others, entirely Of
bamboo, and matched with dried nipa
leaves. In this hut there dwelt a choc-
olate-eolored family, consisting of Ma
riano Pelasquez, his wife, and sturdy
11-year-old boy, Juanito by name
Old Mariana had lived as a boy in
one of the large seaports, and there
had learned to speak Spanish fIuently;
and this language he had taught Juan
ito as he grew up, in hope that some
day the boy might become serv-
amt or possibly clerk to one Of the
Spanish or English residen s--p prefer
ably the latter, as the Inglescs paid
better wages than the Epanoles, and
were less liable to throw boots and
dishes and things.
Mariana was "a species Of agricul-
turist whenever he chose 20 exert him
self, which was seldom. lie owned
tiny bit Of land, on which stood com
modious hut and a faithful mango
tree; but the pride OF his heart was his
carabao, or water buffalo, which
tugged at the olow or rough cart on
the rare occasions when Mariana took
TO farm. Z. These carabaos are huge
monse-colored beasts. amazingly
hideous in appearance, and very saw
age when wild but they are docile as
lambs when once tanned Moreover.
their tremendous strength is Of great

thou art-thou with the biggest horns!
Come here. Jefe!"
But Jefe vas too comfortable, and
would not ONE; so Juanito finally
took off his trousers, and waded in
until he could climb up on the great
beasts back. "Now get up, big stupid!'
he shouted, pounding the massive head
vigorously with a small fist. Either
the insult or the thumps had the de-
sired effect, and, with many signs and
grunts, Jefe scrambled laboriousIy to
bis feet almost submerging his com
papions in the waves created by the
process), and splashed shoreward.
Juanito secured his trousers, and
mounting again, urged his ponderous
steed along the path. As they emerged
from The bushes, Juanito caught sight
Of two figures across the field, dressed
in white, with huge sun helmets, APP
parent.y examining something closely
"Hoia!" exclaimed Juanito, the two
English lunatics. Let us go and see
what they have found, Jefe."
| may say here that all the ignorant
natives Of the far east, being unable
to understand their ways. came to the
conclusion long ago that the English
and American races were composed en-
tirely Of harmless lunatics.
Jefe, having been at last persuaded
TO turn his nose in that direction, pro-
ceeded, one leg at time, toward tie
two white figures
Now there is popularity about
these Carabaos ofwhich Juanito wasu n-
aware; and that is that, although they
can be controlled and led by six
year-old native, If necessary, at the
same time, in those parts of the
islands where white man is rarity
the sight of one seems to drive the
creatures frantic, and they will, often
attack with all the fierceness and fury
Of wild bull white person who has
not given them the slightest cause;
and their attack is really the more
dangerous to the victim, for a cara
boa's horns are each as long and thick
as a mans arm. A single carabao has
been known TO attack and kill a full
grown tiger.
Consequently, Juanito was hardly
prepared when. about half way across
the field Jefe raised his head aloft,
and began TO utter strange, nasal
grunts, pricking his great ears for
ward; and was still less so when the
hitherto placid beast of burden quick
ened his steps into sort OF side, aud
then broke into numbering. ele-
phantine canter.
"Haya! qua tiene tu? (What hast
thou? what Is the matter?'0 shouted
the amazed Juanito, striving TO main
tain his balance. But Jefe's sides were
still wet and slippery. and in another
moment Juanito tumbled ingloriously

This particular ahpo was called

The vigorous methods that have been employed by the American military au- thorities in Cuba to improve sanitary conditions already are productive of excellent results. General Leonard Weed, in command Of the Santiago province, is an energetic officer. He is bringing order cut Of chaos in great style. He has just completed a tour Of investigation of his district and found in Holguin that the Spaniards, before leaving, befouled all the cisterns, killed all tho animals they could find, leaving them rottirg where they fell, and in every way tried to spread in lection, in the belief, apparently, that in this manner Spanish honor would be Yindicated.
