SERGEANT O'KEEFE'S PIPE.
II Was Shot Out of Ills Mouth mt SAN
lingo Much to the Amusement
of His Comrades.

well. SIR" said Corporal Grady,
zone of the most amusing things that
i happened before Santiago was the loss
Of Sergt. O'Keefe's pipe. You see, in
Our forced march to the front most of
/ us threw away all the loose luggage VIC
had. and with our kits went pipes and
tobacco. O'Keefe, however. had his
in his pocket. and after we got in posi-
ton and were waiting orders. the SER
geant pulled out his pipe aud tobacco
and soon was enjoying fine smoke.
Then the rest of us began to look for
our pipes and tobacco, but not one
could be found. Oh, tell you. our
mouths watered. aud we watched
D'keefe with longing eyes think the
spalpeen enjoyed our misery, for he
kept putting great volumes of smoke.
making rings and clouds that scented
the air. Every one of us begged for
crack at his pipe. but he gave us the
laugh. We were lying in the grass to
keep out of the way of Spanish bullets
as they whizzed overhead. but after an
hours wall some CT us became careless
and stood up. among the number being
O'Keefe. who strutted around with his
pipe f9iaE like an engine. TO save cur
lives we couldn't keep cur eyes from
that pipe. till all of a sudden II disap-
peared and O'Keefe ducked. TLen. we
realized the pipe had been struck by n
Spanish bullet. and such a roar of
laughter as came from the boys never
was heard before. Well, sir. we just
felt like shaking hands with the Span
lard who fired that shot.
"Tf | hadn't cut the stem of that
pipe so short I'd have the laugh on ye.'
said O'Keefe us be crawled to his place
in the brush"

FEW DIED IN PEACE.

1t is remarkable how few of the
eminent men of the discoveries and
conquerors of the world died in peace.
Columbus died broken-hearted; Roldin
and Boabdilla drowned; Ovando was
harshly superseded; Las Casas
sought refuge in a cowl; Ojeda died in
extreme poverty; Encisco was deposed
by his own men; Nicuessa persisted
miserably by the cruelty of his party;
Vasco de Uunez de Balboa was dis
gracefully beheaded; Narvaez was i'm
prisoned in a tropical dungeon, and
afterwards died of hardship; Cortez
was dishonored; Alvarado was de-
stroyed in ambush; Almargo was gar
roted; Pizarro was murdered and his
four brothers cut off; and there was no
end to the assassinations and execu-
lions of the secondary chiefs among
the energetic and daring Adventures.

THE VALUE OF HAITI.

The mention of Cuba reminds me
whether a native or a foreigner, ex-
pressed the greatest regret that this
island was not included with Cuba and
Puerto Rico. AS one of the leading
politicians of the island put the case
short time ago: F'Uncle Sam is en-
larging his kitchen; he is getting a
place ready for another pot; he has
Cuba for one leg, Puerto Rico for an
other, and the third must go on this
island. 1t is we'll for us all to look the
situation fairly in the face" The
reader will remember that rice and
beans cooked in a three-legged pot
compose the national dish of the
Haitians Haiti would undoubtedly
be an acquisition. 1t is a marvellous
ly fertile island, inhabited by a docile
but unambitious race who, with steady
government and rights assured, would
develop into good citizens. It is a
country free from the pest that gen
orally infest the tropics. During my
residence I saw only three snakes.
L hey W0IG U0IW00u i've duu SIX lS0C
long and about one inch thick-per-
fectly harmless; there is not a poison
Gus snake on the island. I saw one
scorpion, which a Haitian crushed to
death with his naked foot; there we're
no flies to speak of, and never re-
quired a mosquito-net day or night
The climate is healthy, with the ex-
ception of one or two small places,
which could be easily made perfectly
livable with ordinary sanitary pre-
ca%ions. You can have your choice
of climate. In some places you are
never warm, and in others you can
never get cool. The cloudless blue sky
is an unknown quantity, as far as my
experience was concerned. The heav-
ems are filled with floating clouds,
beautiful in form, and in color like
opals-an ever-changing beauty

THE TAGALos AS FIGHTERS.

The military qualities of the Taga-
some respect Making due allowance
for the difficulties of fighting in a
jungle, and allowing something for the
remnants of Spanish discipline re-
tanned by the rebels, it must be admit
ted that the race has some aptitude for
war. Tagalo regiments helped the
French to conquer Cochin China, and
they formed the nucleus of the "ever
victorious army" led by Ward and
Gordon. Nor were their brown faces
unknown in the American navy OF the
last generation, where at least one OF
them was good captain of the main
top. They are Industrious in intrench-
ing themselves, good marchers, large

commissaries for shelter and supplies.
Most Of the fighting of 1896 was done
by natives against natives, and many
companies were tragically true to
their SALT at later periods Their nat
ural instincts for pillage and revenge
have often yielded to discipline and
sometimes to argument. General Primo
de Rivera has declared that foreign
domination can only be maintained by
native army, and certainly no
modern conquest is on record as extend

The capacity of the Filipinos for
self-government remains improved,
although so many have died to main
tain their claim to that high estate.
Many Americans must regard as sheer
impertinence the reply of a Filipino
journalist to an American writer who
assured the world that the natives
were quite incapable of successful self
government: cit is good to have def
mite information and to know where
we stand. We are told that we cannot
govern ourselves successfully. That
seems a hard saying, but at least it
leaves us one certainty: we shall have
to govern ourselves unsuccessfully;
that's all."-Harper's Magazine.

HE PERSISTED.

sis'tent persons ever born. Yes, sir,
that's what I was If 1 set out to do
anything I'd do it and nothing could
stop me. But what portended a sig
nal success proved to be my overthrow,
so that I've only done fairly we'll in
stead of being a world better"
Lose your health?"
mo; I'm just as sound and strong
today as ever was in my life, but I
allowed my natural tendency to over
reach itself. I had an uncle that was
a great smoker With his rosy face,
double chin and twinkling eyes in
cloud of tobacco smoke, he was my
ideal of personiied happiness. I
imagined that l could reach this ideal
by learning TO smoke, and went at it.
Sick? Yes, deathly sick, and it
seemed to me l never would accustom
my system to the obnoxious narcotic.
1t was two years before I could enjoy
my pipe without setting everything
around me whirling But my in
domitable pluck carried me through. I
would acknowledge no such word as
fail"
Rather a perversion of a fine attri-
butte, wasn't it?"
II don't know what you'd call 1t, but
my ambition has never served me as
we'll since. 1t seems timid and halt
ing, and 1t balks when I think Of
tackling anything big. My idea is that
I used too much of it in learning to
smoke, or weakened or diluted it, or
something of that sort But the way
in which I stuck to and carried
through that original idea was grand"

FILBERT PLANTATIONS.
An italian Industry That Rivals the
Grapevine.

1t will surprise many to hear that
in certain districts Of Italy the filbert
crop rivals the produce of the vine in
commercial Importance These delici-
Gus nuts are grown on bushes or
shrubs, which are arranged in groups
that are from fifteen to twenty-five
feet apart so as to insure the access of
plenty of light and air. They thrive
best in deep, clayey soil, and the
planting takes place during November
and December of slips from the mother
plant. Seeds could be used, but the
growth would be too slow to be profit
able. AS it is, the shrubs do not bear
fruit until the third year, any bios
SONS appearing before that time being
removed, so that the plant shall not be
impoverished. The plants are period
ically pruned, when any slips which
have failed to sprout are removed and
replaced by others; so that there are
plantations which remain in full
growth although nearly 100 years old
The filbert is not subject to the dis
eases common to other crops, but it
suffers severely from hailstones and
from cold winds.
