RESCUED JUDAS ISCARIOT.
Darh of an Inexperienced American
Army officer Into an Excited
Cuban Mob.

Down in Cuba when a fellow gets
religion he gets it mighty bad On
no day in the year does militant Chris
tianty crop out more strongly than
on that set apart as reminder OF the
betrayal Of Jesus Christ by Judas Is
CARROT. What they do to Judas on this
occasion is sad tale. They bring
him into being in the shape of a
tough, old rag dummy, and men with
an ecstatic enthusiasm, which, If
properly applied, would go long way
toward rehabilitating the island,
proceed to kick the stufiing out OF
him. Everybody takes hack at him
md the whole proceeding, being Of
the nature of tiny revolution, i'm
mense enjoyment is thereby obtained
together with the soothing balm of
Gilead for their religiously outraged
souls.
An American lieutenant witnessed
one of these vengeances upon Judas
this year and now he is sorry he did.
he is stationed down in the eastern
end of the island in command OF a
vest pocket garrison. One day ne was
sitting in his quarters when he heard
a distant roar like the voice of great
multitude in anger. 1t came closer
and closer and soon he could distin-
guish fearful and angry oaths, as
though mob We're fearfully enraged.
Rushing to n window he looked out
and saw a great crowd of men and
women swirling through the plaza.
They were dragging an unfortunate
creature by a rope, which was tied
around the victims neck. AS they
yanked the object of their wrath
along members of the mob jumped
upon the PROSTATE figure with hid
eous screams OF rage, waving their
arms with all the fury of madmen.
The lieutenant saw in a second what
was happening. The Cubans had
found some unfortunate Spanish eX-
guerrilla and they were lynching him.
Not an instant was to be lost. The
lieutenant seized his pistol and rushed
hatless into the surging mob. yelling
in his most terrific tones for the
crowd to stand back. All the while he
was discharging his revolver to give
weight to his commands. With great
precipitancy the men stood apart to
permit the officer to pass. Was he in
time, he wondered, as he dashed down
upon his knees beside the bedraggled
figure, his fingers clutching at the
rope about the choking neck. With
an oath the lieutenant stood up. The
victim was poor old Ju las lscariot,
dead more than 1900 years.
"The id fools!" was his one ex-
clamation of disgust as he turned
back to his quarters with a very red
face, while the outlaws of the Gubans
followed. The lieutenant kept out of
sight the rest of that day and the
good old haters of the worlds arch
traitor wound up their day by burn
ing the effigy in the most approved
manner-N. Y. Sun.

PET OF THE REGIMENT,
Jack Is n Soldier Dog That Hns ~cn
Active Service Besides Being
Great Traveller.

Jack" the mascot Of the Second
infantry and Hero of Santiago" is
perhaps the best known dog in the
United States army. He properly be-
longs to company d, and has followed
that company in its wanderings since
it left Fort Omaha for the west All
the old officers and men of the regi-
ment know Jack" He is a noted
fighter, and bears the record of never
having been whipped; and if Jack
don't get fair play in fight, a dozen
soldiers are ready to take it up. His
picture shows him after fight ono
afternoon in Cuba. He is an ideal
terrier, rather large, and is playful.
He isn't afraid of fire, strange to say,
and when pup would seize a burning
cigar and tear it to pieces. Many
tricks have been taught him, and his
delight is the exhibition of these ca
nine requirements. Few dogs have
travelled as much rs Jack, he having
been all over the eastern states and
crossed the waters between the states
and Cuba three times He has been
on all the marches with his company
in the west, and is known by all tho
Indians and cattlemen around Stand
ing Rock, Mandan and other frontier
posts.

American war he left Fort Yates with

Some of the English clergy in the

When the lion and the tiger and the bear
this offer heard,
They sat in sober silence and they never

orado has Just delivered, because he
delivered the same speech to me when
he was arguing for increase of salary
before our committee. He has been
working for $500 per annum, and
now he wants $1,000. In another year
he will want 1900.
There are representatives here who
would be cheap to the people at $10,-
900 year, bat we get only half that
much. There are other representa-
tives here who would be dear at half
their present salaries. There is no
discrimination here, and we eho"ld
not discriminate between certa .gh
school teachers"
There were many other speeches on
the subject, in which congressman
gave their experiences with the in
creased salary seekers; and the pro
posed increase was not made. The
people of this country are not taxed
enough to hurt them or to make
them feel it as the poor people of 9th
er countries feel the burden. Never
theless the salaries paid to our gov
eminent officials are ample, and mil
lions of dollars are expended which
might be saved with greater economy
in the legislative and executive
branches of the government.
What "Uncle Loren" Fletcher says
about the difficulty Of securing APP
pointments is entirely true. The civil
service law, which has never been an
adequate protection for government
clerks, bars out many worthy people.
1t has never been properly admins
tered, and is not now properly admin
istered. Men and women of excellent
education and ability are unable to Sc
cure employment in the civil service

CLEVER DANCING BEAR.
In Belle Fntimn, of the baltimore
Too, Goes Through n Series of
Oriental Movements.

Baltimore has n dancing bear at its
zoo that quite outdoes all the other
bear movements and tricks up to date.
This bear, called La Belle Fatima, has
made her reputation, by specially"
an imitation of the couchee-couchee
dance of oriental women.
When Fatima shuffies out upon the
platform in the airy attire Of Turk
ish dancing girl, it is then time for all
other attractions OF the zoo to subside
into dark corners. For Fatima is GER
tainly the queen of all animal dancers.
Time was when La Belle Fatima was
only an ordinary trick bear, with tum-
bling as her speciality, but one day
while in Chicago she was inveigled into
a Midway Plaisance performance that
fingered there after the worlds fair
was over, and there she saw several of
the Egyptian dancers perform their pc
culiar dance.
Here it was demonstrated that evil
communications corrupt even the good

PICTURES OF VOLCANOES.
Some of the Difficulties Encountered
in Photographic These Won
ders While in Action.

AS things go these days, the pho
tographer is the man who is at the
front, whether it be at lei Caney, or
off Moro, or at Manila, and one has
but to make any danger worth while
to find some one Of the amateur or pro-
fessional brethren taking it with his
camera, to hand it down as an imper
ishable and indisputable evidence of
what man will risk and accomplish.
When it was reported in Honolulu
last summer, or rather when Honolu-
lu was cnveloped in a thick cloud OF
smoke, it knew without any further
reporting that Mauna Loa was once
more on the rampage. And so it
turned out, the great volcano, through
new assures and vents and new
craters, was pouring out great masses
of lava, which made the eruption one
of the most striking of recent years.
When it was made known from the
island of Hawaii that the spectacle
was likely to prove unique, two par
ties started out from Honolulu for
the great mountain, accompanying
them being Mr.. Frank Dewey, pho
tographer, who did not mind such a
thing as danger in his desire to take
a snap at n full-fedged eruption on
the plank of Mauna Loa near the sum
nit.
The main outburst formed lake of
boiling lava 100 feet in diameter, from
which huge masses were thrown 300
feet in the air. From breach in
the cone a food of lava 40 feet wide
rushed down the mountain side at
a rate of 30 miles an hour. A dozen
vents near the great crater We're
throwing lava in the air, which Gov
cred the surrounding territory with a
thick coating gliding down and en-
veloped in a thick smoke.
Lower down a new crater not so
large as the upper lake threw great
masses Of lava and solid rocks in the
air weighing hundreds of pounds.
While the onlookers were fascinated
at the sight, there was considerable
danger, as on one occasion the wind
blew thick columns of sulphurous
smoke toward the party when they
were on their way home. The running
lava behind them prevented retreat
and death from asphyXiation surely
threatened as the black cloud adj
vanced in a menacing manner. Just
as it was about to cover them, vio-
lent gust of wind opened gap archcd
like tunnel. Through this the ter
rified tourists rushed and reached the
pure air on the other side in safety,
falling upon the ground exhausted
and overcome by their fearsomc eXpe-
rience.
They also suffered from hunger and
thirst, and it was under these circum-
stances that Mr.. Dewey took the
views, his zeal causing him among
other things to lose his shoes, which
were burnt off his feet by the hot
lavas. However, he got back to Hon
olulu safely, and was delighted at his
success in catching one of the small
cones in operation, as well as pho
tographing some older lava beds and
the solidifed rivers of lava Of other
ays.-Philadelphia Times.
