Round Table, Dan Beard tells the boys how
to build and furnish the "Daniel Boone Log

drawings that show exactly the way the
work should be done. The stories of the

Charles Broughton; my Duel with Yellow

Still More Counterfe,ting.

The Secret Service has unearthed another
band of cOunterfeiters and secured a large
quantity of bogus bills, which are SO cleverly
executed that the average person would
never suspect them of being spurious.
Things of great value are always selected by
couDterfeiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitatOrs but no equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness and general debility. The Bitters set
things right In the stomach, and when the
stomach Is in good order II makes good
blood and plenty of 1t. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength aud vital
ity, and restore vigOr to the weak and de-
biliated. Beware of cOunterfeits when

THE GIRLS THAT
DEWEY LEFT BEHIND HIM.
They Are Attractive That it Would Not be Surprising if the Admiral
Had Left His Heart in the Philippines

Havana are not more elegant than the
ladies of the Philippines; nor will a
Philippine woman associate with a
Spanish woman if she knows what she
is doing.
For generations past the Filipinos
have lived in the islands, raising their
products of farm and forest, and rear
ing their children. Their native schools
are good and when they have finished
Germany and to Paris to be finished off,
precisely as our own sons and daugh-
tiers are educated. Many are kept at
home, in the college at Manila, but it is
considered very smart to patronize the
foreign colleges.

When Admiral Dewey sailed from
Manila on the Olympia, the last ones
to wave farewell to him were a party
of Philippine ladies who had climbed to
the highest tower in Manila to shake
their kerchiefs at the gallant Admiral
as his ship sailed over the horizon.
They had shaken hands with him,
over and over again; and had told him
how sorry they were to have him go.
They had made for him gifts, strange
gifts which it is doubtful if the Admiral
will ever wear, and, when all was done
they wrung his hand and spoke kind

Philippines to be semi savage, partly
civilized, and primitive in their ways,
are nightly mistaken. The ladies of

The dresses that are made in Manila
are, of course. copies of the Paris
gowns; so, in walking through the
streets, you might not see the differ
ence between Paris and Manila. except
for architectural difference in the
houses, and possibly the slightly Japa-
nese cast of cOuntenance in the people.
The poorer people or peasants have
style which is very like the peasant wo-
men of France. It is that of draping
the skirt around the hips and catching
it high at the left side. Silk and bright
cotton cloth are treated in this way and
the skirt is worn rather short 1t IS
graceful and pretty, but is not the
height of fashion in Manila any more
than in New York.
The favorite evening entertainment is
a masquerade ball and at these the
mobiles. They love to don the masQue-
rade and in this respect they are as
fond of the reVel as were the people in
the days of Louis XIII.
If Admiral Dewey had wanted to
leave his widowerhood behind him he
tempered girl of musical taste, for all
the Filipinos are musical. They are
natural musicians, and here you find a
child of ten performing upon the violin
seventeen. a child of five will play
these instruments very we'll; for the
spirit of music is bred in the bone.

to make soft covers, and the Ginning
tables were made into comfortable beds
for the wounded. 1t was said at the
time, by those who knew Admiral
Dewey that his heart was touched at
the sight of so much loneliness; and
one of the American residents at Ma
Mia wrote home that he predicted a
speedy ending to Dewey'S long term OF
widowerhood But the AdmiraPs heart

HOW AND WHY IT RAINS.

Rain is an accumulation Of the tiny
particles of the vapor of the atmos-
phere into drops. These drops, first
kind, and become drops of such mag
nitude that they fall to the earth be
cause of their weight. There is a limit
to the quantity of water which the
air is capable of absorbing and retain
ing as invisible vapor. Warm air is
able to hold more than cold air. Hence,
when the air which is saturated with
moisture becomes cold for any reason
whatever, it can no longer retain it's
moisture A portion must, under such
condition, accumulate into drops. These
fall to the earth in the shape of rain.

the young unmarried women-for the
women are prettiest in girlhood. So
ciety there is very similar to society
here, except that the girls are chap
eroned more closely, and are kept well
within the bounds of conventionalism
Were Admiral Dewey to have invited a
young lady of Cavite to go to drive she
would not have accepted without for
feiting her place in society. 1t would
be a sad breach of etiquette for a young
lady of the Philippines to go to drive
with a gentleman unchaperoned.

first acquaintance on land was the
daughter of the head official or Mayor
of the town. She was a beautiful, re-
fined girl, highly educated and a leader
of society. But at the critical moment
in the Smelling of the town she left her
home, snatching only a shawl to put
over her head, and flew through the
streets to render such assistance as she
could to the distressed.
Like Helen Gould, she spent her
money freely and went about doing
good; and when Dewey entered the
town he found a beautiful irnprovised
hospital established for the sufferers.

to live she consented to pay the artist
visit in the little house he had built
at the foot of Mt. CavaTlo. 1t was a
red-letter day for Michelangelo, and
no divinity descended from heaven
could have been received with greater
distinction. After that visit a friendly
degree of intimacy was established.
Their conversation was never allowed to
rest upon any topic less sublime than
Of life.
1t was at this time that the artist
made for and submitted to Vittoria the
designs for his Christ on the cross ;"
The dead Christ on the knees of his
mother" and Jesus at the we'll of the
Samaritan woman" He sent them to
her with a sonnet, in which he spoke
OF her immense goodness his too
feeble talent" and his despair that his
fragile and perishable work should
never equal the divine grace that shed
around her"
1t was quite natural that he should
wish to paint her portrait, to make her
statue, to league to posterity the beau

sonnet he addressed to her, in which
he pleaded for this privilege-"so that.

and that was not mad in loving thee. .
How Vittoria Colonna ever resisted
such an appeal is difficult to UNDER
stand. But she did, nevertheless, and
devoted herself to the asylum she had
founded for young girls. Her health
was always delicate, and she died at
the age of 81.
During her short illness Michelangelo
never left the house where she lay dy-
ing. He was kneeling at her bedside
when the supreme moment came-su-
preme for both, for she had ceased to
live, and he, for the first time during a
devotion of more than twenty years.
dared press his lips to the brow Of the
woman he idolized. All the love Of his
life surged about his heart in uncon-
trollable grief, and, winding his arms
about the lifeless body, he showered
kisses upon her brow, her eyes, her
hair, her hands, and, with a great
heart-bursting sob, went out Of the
room.

have not forgotten her how can you
have the assurance to tell me that 1 am
the only girl you ever loved?"
A form of annoyance which every heir
ess has to go through is that of being
proposed to by certain number of inn
pecunious men, who make it regular
business to offer themselves and what
they style their hearts to every woman
of fortune who comes their way. They
appear to forget that they are known
as fortune hunters, and that the history
of their proposals is probably the first
thing that is told about them to each
successive miss. There is one young man
of rank who has proposed to every heir
ess during the last eight years and has
been refused by all. One of the more
recent objects of his attempts says that
after he had proposed to her three times
she asked him how much he would re-
quire per annum in exchange for a
written promise never to propose to her
again.
Nor is this the only form Of annoy
ance that heiresses are subject to.
Within recent times a wealthy and
beautiful young lady was SO tormented
by ruffian who insisted on address,
ing her and forcing his society upon her
wherever he met her apparently with
the mad idea that she would marry
secution), that she was several times
obliged to go through the disagreeable
business Of prosecuting him, in the
hope of putting an end to his insults.
Another heiress was pestered by
correspondent who used to write her
anonymous letters, in which he not
only called her by every endearing
name and protested his undying devo-
ton to her, but actually referred to

pressed upon her dear lips" Whether
these letters We're written by a mad
man or a scoundrel was never known,
and they ceased as unexpectedly as
they had begun. While they lasted
they were a source of great trouble to
the poor girl, who was especially anx-
ious that they should not fall into other
hands than her own.
In third case an heiress received a
written proposal from a gentleman
whom she knew very slightly 1t hap
pened shortly afterward two girls came
to see her who were also heiresses and
intimate friends of hers. In the course
Of conversation she alluded to the pro-
posal which she had had, whereupon
it transpired that both her visitors

proposals from the same man. which

Another girl was really in love with
an impecunious man and consented
joyfully when he asked her to be his
wife. But when he found that her
fortune was to be settled on herself
and that her parents declined to SET
tie anything on him, he broke off the

Gus in women-33. She had idolized her
husband, and her love remained for him
after his death as deep and ardent as
before. She felt that, having been his
wife once, she was his wife always,
and nothing ever induced her for one
moment to swerve from her high fdel-
ity.
After the death of Francois d'Avalos
she wrote a series of poems commem-
orative of his heroic deeds. These fell
into the hands of Michelangelo, says
the Collector and Art Critic, and made
such an impression upon him that he
wrote letter to the author, full of
sympathy for her grief and admiration
for her poems. She replied in glowing
terms of admiration for his genius in
art. This was the beginning of their
mutual acquaintance and of his love
The correspondence continued, but We
toria constantly refused to allow ninn
to visit her, and it was not until ten
years later that she consented to re-
ceive his homage in person.

He was not lovable man in the COM
mon sense of lovableness. He was
awkward and cold in the presence of
woman, and his tongue was not clever
to express the great depth and tender
ness of his soul. His face had never
recovered from the Disagreement pro-
duced by the blow given by Torrigiano.
But love, identifying ugliness, and
throwing charms over a thousand de-
fects, wrought no miracles for Michel
angelo. His heroine was too fine and
high, too closely welded to an absent
but ever present friend, to be seduced
by his worship.
Despairing at length of winning her
for his wife, he resolved to be philo-
sophie and adore her from afar. But at
times the old love and old ardor of his
passion would leap up like rebellion in
hi- hesst, and break down his strength.
One day, when his agony Of soul
seemed to have reached a climax no
longer supportable, he fell on his knees,
and like the Psalmst, cried out; u
