WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-For reasons
which they will not divulge officials do
not expect an attempt to be made to
land the American troops at Iloilo inn

vices as to his intentions. 1t is posi-

learn for themselves the disastrous fate
that has overtaken Aguinaldo's forces

they may be induced to abate their re-
sistance to Gen. Miller's attempted land
ing. Even if the attack has taken place,
according to original plan, news of the
result would not reach here for two days.

HAD NO EYES FOR THE BABY
The Judge Was Devoted to Chess and

TnOu8nI OF NOIn1n8 E18es
The late Judge Sheldon, of Rockford.

entire evenings for many years to play

Judge since her childhood. Her father

chess in the silence which the game in
wolves, and, as unsociable and taciturn
as they were, the young woman intrud-

judge should see and admire her
beautiful baby
''Isn't he a darling?" she asked,
holding him forward for her fathers
bachelor friend to admire.
Absolute silence.
''Now, dear Judge Sheldon, do just
look at my sweet boy. Why, he is a
perfect little ANGEL
The judge never lifted his head.
ST think the precious looks just Like
papa, don't you?'''
This appeal moved him. He lifted his
eyes and looked at the baby with a
blank stare. Then he turned again TO

GIANTS oE PATAGONIA.

The TehueIches Average But Little
Under Six Feet.
The tribes to the east Of the Cordil-
leras, in southern Patagonia, belong to
Araucanian stock, and are a superior
race, says the Boston Transcript. The
Tehuelches-as they call themselves
of southern and eastern Patagonia are
the people whose unusual stature gave
rise to the fables of early days to the
effect that the natives of this region
were giants, averaging nine or ten feet
in height. It is fact they are the tall
est human beings in the world, the men
averaging but slightly less than six
feet, while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not uncom-
mon. They are in reality by no means
savages, but somewhat civilized bar
barians. They are almost unacquaint-
ed with the use of firearms, notwith-
standing some contact with the whites,
but they have plenty of horses and
dogs.
Unsurpassed hunters, they capture
the guanaco and the rhea, or South
American ostrich, and from the skins
of these and other animals they make
clothes and coverings for their tents.
They make beautiful sscapes'' or man
ties. of fur and feathers, which are
highly prized by Europeans and find a
ready market, most of the proceeds
being spent for bad whisky, which is
brought into the country in quantities
by traders.

TeachinE sIuskrnts to swim.

At the pool our attention was attract
ed by a comical picture made by an old
muskrat trying to teach her babies to
swim. 1t struck us as strange that she
should go to such trouble; the little
rats should have known instinctively
how to navigate. but they clung to the
bank and to shallow water, above
which arose their fluffy backs, bright
eyes and sharp noses. The mother set
them the example by swimming across
and back. She endeavored 10 coax, and
finally she pushed them over their
depth and let them make their own way
10 the shore. though, you may be sure,
she stayed close by. When we were
seen the old lady shrieked "Trampsl"
lin characteristic muskrat language and
fled to her sub-aquatic vestibule, 1 sup
pose to call the police. The little ones
did not attempt to escape. Ostrichlike,
they hid their heads among the roots,
and left their naked tails waving above
the water like a new species Of juncos
waiting to be examined. The madam
could not quite ignore the maternal in
stinct, as she returned and conducted
her happy family to the nursery, where
they received their first lesson in mis-
anthropy. and Stream.

case filed with splendid jeweled revolt
yers with silver and gold grips and
chased barrels, having precious stones
set into the butts.

in the handle"
The clerk took It from the case. Il
was a beautiful piece of workman5hip.

worth even more. The Texan lOnk it
tenderly in both hands and held 1t ad-
miringly up to the light. Then draw
ing himself up to his full height, which
was six feet and a half, he rested the
revolver barrel upon his left elbow,
crooked for the purpose, and looked
over the sights down the long store.
