II, WI. Rewarded for His Honesty

In small village just outside Not
tlugham farm laborer went TO the
general store. which was kept by an
old woman not overstocked with
brains, and asked for "A pallnd o ba-
con"
The old lady produced the bacon and
uut piece off, but could not find the
pound weight.
oh, never mind L pahnd weight
said he: me fist just weighs pahnd,
so put thcr bacon in t scales"
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales, while
the man put his fist into the other
side. and of course took good care to
have good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found,
ard on seeing it the man said:
Nah. you see if me fist don't just
weigh pahnd.'
The pound weight was accordingly
put into one scale and the mans fist
into the other, this time just to bal

ClVILlZlNG MANILA,


Drinking and Vice Play u Prominent Part
To Illustrate the vast amount of
drinking that is done. | mention the
statement made to me by the agent of
an American company, who told me
that he had sold 5000 barrels of beer
in one day TO the various saloons. The
business done in one regimental can
teen, in drinks alone, was Sl,7OO MeXi-
can. in single day, and in another
regiment it was 81 100. 1t certainly is
a humillating thing to see II beautiful
street like the Escolta changed in two
months from Il great retail show street
into line of saloons. and ii makes an
American feel thar his country is not
cutting much ice as Il grand cviliZing
influence.
Manila is also becoming the Mecca
for dozens of adventuresseS, who see
golden prospects here. A number of
women have drifted in from nearly all
the big cities of the orient, and in one

was discovered before they landed,

She Roprd IA Wolf.

Miss Eliza Walker. who owns a stock
ranch few miles north of this city, to-
day brought in the scalp of a large gray
timber wolf. and the story of its capture
by lady is interesting. All the fail she
has been troubled with this wolf. 1t ap-
peared to make its headquarters in a
small ravine, filled with timber, about n
quarter of a mile from her house and
from this point it sailed forth In quest
of food. A short time ago 1t killed "A
young steer belonging to Miss Walker.
and several neighbors have lately suf-
fered similar losses. Miss Walker stat es
that along toward evening, as she went
out on horseback rounding up her cattle
for the night. she discovered the wolf in
the very act of making an onslaught upon
n young calf in her bunch. Her only
weapon of offenSe was a rope attached
to her saddle. and she concluded to make
an attempt at roping the animal. This
she succeeded in doing at the first at
tempt. She then started her horse on a
run, and after she had exhausted and
subdued the animal in this way she per-
mitted the dogs to finish the job.
Wolves are especially numerous in this
section of the state this season and they
have never before been known to be so
bold.-Chamberlain IS. ID Correspond

PROSE AMONG THORNS.

Say, boys, did you know we had
some new neighbors?" asked Fred
MARSHALL, one night. YES" he re-
sumed, in answer to the question de-
picted on all of our faces, land what
more, they are four young ladies'. and
they just moved into the fiat below us
to-day" And Fred looked around at
us, conscious that he had made an i'm
preston.
'Hooray" yelled Jack, rather loud
ly, considering the fact that he had
that very day called himself con-
firmed bachelor.

"Bosh," said Jack. Say, boys, we
must call on them this very night"
Then glancing at me apprehensively.

Il hope you aren't going to be quite
such an idiot as to go calling on

STRANGE HoNEYMooNs,
unusual Trips Made by Adventurous
ewly-MarrIed Couples.

Inc wedding tour in a balloon. SO
graphlcally described by Nine. Camille
flammarion in the current number of
the Strand is by no means the only
curious honeymoon on record. A short
"hile since an adventurous couple
spent their first days of welded life
on the summit of Mont Blanc. The
ascent. extremely hazardous by reason
OF terrific snowstorms, being success
fully accomplished, and the summit
reached, the bridegroom, in the pres
ence of the guides, embraced his young
wife. to whom he swore eternal fidel-
lty, and received from her lips an
equally fervent assurance. Then the
descent was commenced. and the
couple, after nearly three days ab-
sence, arrived at Chamounix, where
they were accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception. In the neighborhood of Dobs-
chau, a small Hungarian town, there
is an extraordinary ice cave. The roof,
the walls, the floor are thickly coated
with ice, which in places assumes most
fantastic shapes. In this cave, some
sixteen years age, couple named
Kolcsey elected to pass the week i'm
mediately following their marriage
They took with them a plentiful sup
ply of rugs, blankets and warm cloth
ing, but Notwithstanding all precau
tions, their experience was not of a
sufficiently pleasant nature to tempt
imitators. walking tour may be made
an endurable honeymoon, but to con-
vert the latter into walking match
seems sadly incongruous with the rites
of Hymen. Such, however. was not
the opinion of one James Muir and his
young bride, who were united in we'd
lock last autumn. While courting they
had taken many long walk togeth-
er, during which a contention had
arisen respecting their pedestrian abil,,
ity. So high did this pickering run
that they resolved, as soon as they
were married, to put their respective
claims to the test by walking from
London to Exeter, the bride being al
lowed to go by train to Basingstoke,
a distance of 473 miles. No sooner
had the knot been tied than the new
Unmarried wife took cab to the sta
ton, while the husband started off
westward at good pace. In the re-
suit the latter was ungallant enough
to win by over two miles, though the
lady kept the lead until Honiton, 16h
miles from the goal, was passed.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Actresses Are Not Available. So Skirted
Men Play Parts.

Men Play Parts.
Actresses are scarce in the Philip
pines, and the theatrical manager who
will take cargo of them down there,
will probably make a pile of money
and earn everlasting gratitude of the
Filipinos. The continuous" show
seems to be the popular entertainment
in Manila, judging from programme,
dated November IS, of the Philippine
theater The cast of THE Baron's
Victim" which is the title of highly
sensational melodrama. calls for two
women, one Miss Emily Fitztempleton,
the other Polly, the maid of all work.
Both these characters were played by
men. The specially turns between the
five acts of the comedy were supplied
by Hurton and Foley, Jack Zaisser.
Harry Gray and parsonage by the
name of Tod Sloan, who is announced
on the bill as the famous vocalist.
Tod Sloan is evidently a much respect
ed parsonage in Manila, and likely the
adopted name of some clever individ-
ual who trades upon the cognomen of
Mia Tod Sloan is also the business
manager of the Philippine theater. and
sketch artist besides. He has not
only announced himself on the pro-
gramme with the catch line Guess
Who's Coming" but he refuses to
cheaper himself by appearing in the
drama, vocalism probably being his
only forte. There is something pecu-
liar about a Philippine drama. The
acts are numbered !, 2, and 5, with
a note that there is no fourth act. y
The bill does not state what is done
with this fourth act. 1t does state
that the olio is sandwiched in between
acts one and two. between two and
three and between three and five. Per-
haps this is a new way theatrical man
ayers in our Spanish possessions have
to indicate to their patrons that it is
time to go out and take a drink.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations. manufactured from whit
ing, challSs. clays, etc. They are stuck on
the walls with decayinE animal glue. Ala
