dow-which at present does not come
to the surface-than the company will
take out. The water thus developed
will be carried through pipes by gravi-
tation several miles down the creek to
a point where a pumping station will
be established. Here the water will be
pumped 400 feet to the top of a hill,
whence it will be taken by gravitation
to Lead and Deadwood.
The Homestake company has pur-
chased several thousand acres of irri-
gated land in the Spearfish valley and
has located a large number of mining
claims near the original water right
for the purpose of holding sufficient
ground upon which to build the pump
ing station. The new branch of the
Burlington and Missouri river railroad
running from Dumont to Spearfish
creek will connect the pumping station
with the main line of the Burlington
railroad and will furnish easy trans
portation for fuel and other necessary
supplies. One of the original water
rights is located about half a mile
above Juniper guich, another on the
east fork, about four or five miles
above the junction with the main
creek, while the other waters come
from Juniper gulch.

MaIarfaI Researcb.

Nature gives an interesting summary
of the results achieved in malarial re-
search by Manson, Ross, Grassi. Big
nami and Bastianelli, and then goes on
to indicate the lines along which fu-
ture achievements may be expected.
The different species Of anopheles
should be hunted for, in order to see if
these are the intermediary hosts of the
different types of malaria throughout
the world and what species is most
concerned In human transmission. An,
other problem will be whether the ano-
pheles can be eXtirpated from a locali-
ty and by what means. 1t seems that
the anopheles is confined to small
areas. so that ''the suggestion of Ross
to draw of the water from stagnant
pools may not be SO hopeless task as

The teacher of a district school in
Maine tells a story that reminds one of
Mary and her little lamb, only it is of
Joe and his little dog.
Joe was boy about years old and
was devoted to a small, lank puppy.
Out of school hours boy and dog were
inseparable, and Joe apparently could
not reconcile himself to the necessity
of leaving the dog at home. For sew
eral mornings the teacher allowed the
puppy to remain at Joe's feet under
the desk
Then there came a day when the
small dog could not be kept quiet, but
frisked about, to the delight of the
school and the dismay of the teacher.
"Joe," she said firmly. you must
take that dog out"
Joe looked at her mournfully. but
picked up the pup and, with its head
against his cheek, started for the door.
The boys feelings were evidently hurt.
but he said nothing until he reached
the door; then, giving his teacher a
reproachful look, with pitying glance
toward his dog, he said slowly. "And
he's named for youg-Youth's Com

Their Best Christmas.

The international doll collection of
Boston gave 206 Indian children 1.-THE
best Christmas they ever had" The
children covered two pine trees in their
school yard in California with the pres
ents sent. One hundred parents of
these children came miles to see the
trees and enjoyed seeing them and the
presents as much as the children who
received them. In that climate the
presents could remain on the trees a
long time without injury, which would
enable the children to enjoy the trees
and show each other the gifts which
belonged to them, making Christmas
day extend at least a week iii length.
The superintendent of the school
writes: 'The pleasure and Joy of these
helpless children would repay one for
all expense and trouble in sending so
far away as from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast. Their gratitude also was
much greater than as a rule Indians
are credited with, and they are having
very happy time, and the presents
sent have been an immense help to
these children in the line of civiliza-
tion."-Boston Herald.

CHIEFS OF THE SUUUS.
Each Has the Power of Life or Death
Over His Subjects.


Over His Subjects.
The social system among the Moros
is much more primitive than it is
among the greater part of the other
Philippine races. A chief, or dato. con
trolls a district. He has his own par
ticular followers and his slaves. Be
sides these he may command all the
men of his own district in time of war.
He also has the right of life and death
over his subjects. For instance. few
weeks before we arrived in Jolo. Data
Jokanine had occasion to execute one
of his followers. The man had been
intrusted with money belonging to the
dato. The first time he came to his
chief and said
"Oh. great and benevolent dato.
have gambled away the money! For
give me!"
VERY WELL" said the dato. See
that it does not happen again"
Once more the retainer came, saying:
"Oh. great an benevolent dato. again
have l gambled away thy money. and
again,I beg thee. in thy great mercy, to
forgive mep'
This is the second time have for
given thee" said Jokanine. but the
third time. warn thee, thou shalt die"
Yet again the unfortunate man re-
turned without the money he had col
lected for the dato.
"Oh, dato," he cried, throwing him
self at the feet of his chief, 81 have
sinned again and taken thy money!
Mercy! Mercyw
''Cut him down." said the dato to one
of his men-at-arms. The man offered
no resistance and was cut to pieces
with one of the great knives of the na-
tives.-Harper's Weekly.
