Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 13.-Hon.
Chester B. Bradley, formerly of Cas-
per, Wyo., in a letter to a friend in
this city gives the following compre-
hensive review of the conditions as
they actually exist in the Philippines
at the present time:
THE agricultural of these
islands are practically undeveloped.
The islands do not produce at the
present time a sufficient quantity Of
rice for the native inhabitants. al
though with industry, the islands
would be large exporters of rice. 1t
is true, however, that the methods
employed in making the crop are of
the most primitive character. The
ground is first broken up with a pillow
that would make an American farmer
wish to turn over and die; then the
field is flooded, and while covered with
water the ground is again plowed,
with a water buffalo, commonly known
as the caribou. The ground once pre-
pared, the crop receives practically no
attention after sowing until harvest
time. If the improved methods of
cultivation and the improved machin-
cry used in producing the, compari-
lively speaking, small amount raised
ir our southern states, were adopted
here the area of the ground under cul-
tivation could be increased
ly and instead of importing from Sal
gon, and other ports, large quantities
of rice, there would be a great amount
of rice available for export.
Coffee Industry.
Coffee is grown to some considera.
bic extent in the islands of Mindanao,
and to a lesser extent upon the isl
and of Jolo, but the industry is in it's
infancy. At Cottabato, in Mindanao,
about twelve thousand sacks are pro-
duced; and n small quantity is pro-
duced from a young plantation in the
vicinity of Jolo. l have not tasted
any coffee produced at Cottabato, but
| have that produced from Jolo and
found it to be the most excellent quail
ity. There is no reason why coffee
should not be produced to an extent
sufficient to supply the requirement of
all the United States, and that of the
very best quality.
THE same Is true of sugar, which
is produced by the most old fashion
ed and out of date means and only
on n small scale. There is only one
sugar refinery in the Philippine ISL
ands-that located at Manila,-which
is insufficient to come anywhere near
supplying the local demands.
THE chief article of export from
the islands. is hemp, and it, also, is
produced wholly by hand labor. With
American enterprise and improved
machinery, the quantity of hemp for
export could be in a very short time

In the line there is a great deal of
good material, Notwithstanding that it
is all somewhat lighter than is desir-
ed. The ends are in better condition
than the rest of the line and there are
some young men trying for these two
positions who are likely to be star
players before the season is over.
Chief of these, perhaps, is sawyer, who
is going to be a wonderful player if
he continues his present rate Of i'm
provement. He is a veritable grey
is quick and ready. Sneddin also is
playing well on the end and so is OFT,
whose great strength and endurance
makes him a valuable man almost any
where in the line. Then there are
Murphy, Jennings and Camplin, all of
whom are fitted for end work.
White and Danielson are the two
principal candidates for center and
both of them are playing with vim and
titNul iIS. Eol liS poSllloLo VI Sualu
and tackle there are Dillery, Bath. OFT,
Adam Lohlein and TRADING and sew
eral others who are working hard to
qualify themselves for the positions.
From those whose names have just
been mentioned the places are likely
to be filled.
AS explained before, one of these
positions except hat of quarterback
has been assigned and the contest will
be open to the best men clear up to
the day of the first game.
Schedule Of Games.
The schedule of games has been
completed as follows:
November 3, with the Denver Ath-
letic club in Denver.
November 10th with the University
of Colorado CBoulder) in Laramie.
November 18th, with Salt Lake City
in Salt Lake.
November oath, with The Colorado
Agricultural College in Fort Collins.
November 10Th, with the State Nor
NAL of Colorado in Laramie.
In addition to these, it is hoped that
there will be two or three practice
games with good teams here the later
part of this month.
This is the first time the universe
ty has ever had a coach and the first
time it has ever really got down to
football. The people Of this city will
find the sport most entertaining and
should not hesitate to give the univer-
sity eleven their support when the
match games are played here. A
grand stand will be built for the &C.
commodation OF the spectators and ev-
cry effort will be made to provide good
sport.

No Sure Things.

At this time nobody has a "cinch"
on any position, with one exception.
Pointing has no ser JUS competitor for
the position of quarterback and he has
already earned his right to the place.
He is quick, sure ard ~resourceful and
as captain of the team has shown the
true spirit of command and general
ship. For the halves and full there
are several candidates. John Lohlein
is doing very promising work as full
back, though he is not yet quite as
sure in his work with the ball as he
should be. Merz has shown some good
qualifications for this position. He is
a good punter, is particular. and shows
signs of becoming a star player. Can
didates for the halves who have ex-
hibited good qualities are Miller, Scott,
Lohlein and Crater. The contest be-
tween these men for the places is very
close and all of them are expected to
prove to be ground gamers in the
Scrimmage.

Fatherland. He suggested the en-
pioyment of suitable breeds of dogs as
couriers, sentries' companions, am
bulance searchers, and ammunition
carriers. AS an ambulance searcher
the st. Bernard is probably the fittest
animal. He will find a wounded man
in the darkest night, and stay by him
with few necessary comforts until
his deep-toned bay is successful in
bringing relief to the sufferer, very
much as his splendid breed have done
for countless years in the high Alps.
For sentry work the pointer is unsur-
passed. He will give immediate warn
ing OF an approaching stranger, with
out once opening his mouth. and, for
this reason. is invaluable to outposts
upon night duty. Collies, by reason of
their strength and intelligence. have
been found excellent mediums for the
speedy supply of ammunition to the
firing line; whilst, as messengers, they
afford but a small target to a sharp
shooter. A fiercer breed of hounds has
been specially trained to act against
cyclists ever since the French army
began to pay SO much attention to
military cycling. These dogs are sys-
tematically fought to drag dummies
dressed as Frenchmen from moving
machines, and, by reason of their
strength and savage disposition, would
form no despicable foe in warfare.

let; it is terse and vigorous"
1T is not much of a legend" she
said, ''but it interested me. A Ger
! man baron married young French
lady, and brought her home to this
castle, Heaven knows how many hun
dred years ago. When he had been
married some time, he found out that
she had a secret in her life. No one
ever knew what that secret was; she
never told it; and he threatened that
if she did not tell him, he would kill
her. Do you think wife has no right
to keep a secret from her husband,
Randolph"
II should think not" he replied; but
he spoke in such a tone Of hesitation
that she looked at him again, half
laughing.
Has husband any right to keep a
secret from his wife?" she asked then;
and this time he answered more
quickly:

What do you think this cruel hus.
band did, Randolph" she continued.
when he found his wife would not
tell him her secret he flung her from
that old ruined tower into the Rhine
the story tells how she haunted the
tower until no one dared live in it,
and so it fell into ruin. The moral of
the story is, there should be no secret
between husband and wife"
But Randolph did not answer with
the cordially Violet expected.

evil designs On Holland. And she was
expected to accept any one selected for
her by her ministers. So ever since
the little queen began to let her gowns
down and put her hair up, the wise
men O. Holland have been hunting d
husband for her. They looked in
England, Sweden, Denmark and Greece
for suitable prince, but this one was
too young and that one too old, this
one was sick and that one had bad
habits, this one was too near a throne
and that one too far away to be con-
sidered truly royal. The queen of
England tried to help the puzzled
statesmen to a choice by Offering an
assortment of her gre.ndsons, and the
emperor of Germany trotted out nep-
hews and cousins innumerable since he
had no son who was old enough except
the crown prince.
But Wilhelmina looked them all over
and then found q Prince Charming OF
her own in the person of Duke Henry
of Mecklenburg-S whom no
one else had thought Of He is young,
handsome, an athlete, of good habits
and the bluest, royal blood; poor, far
from a throne. and with no relations
who are likely to NEEDLE in Dutch
politics. The queen is pleased to have
had her little romance Just like other
iris, the people are pleased to see her
so happy, and the diplomats are
pleased to have so important a matter
settled. AS her husband, Duke Henry
will not be a king, but will be called
prince consort. which was the title of
the husband Of Queen Victoria. He
will have little to do but enjoy him
self and keep on his good behavior.
And as he is said to greatly like dane
ing and riding and hunting and to have
little personal ambition this will prob
ably suit him very well.-LittIe Chron-
icle, Chicago.

About Henri De Reqnier.

Henri De Regimen, the celebrated
Frenchman who is lecturing on con-
temporary French literature under the
auspices of the University of Chicago,
is an ardent disciple of Paul Verlaine,
the symbolist. ''Decadents" is the IN
complimentary term bestowed upon
the symbolists by opponents Of the
school. In the philosophy of NJ.
Regnier, poetry may be common sense,
may be elegant, and may conform to
stated rules, but the absence of these
things is not necessarily fatal to
poetry. There is the poet and his
dream, and if the reader can not de-
cipher the symbols by which the poet
gives his dream to the world, why,
that's the readers fault. NJ. Regnier
has published several volumes of
verse, and these, with two series OF
stories, have earned for him the cross
of the Legion of Honor.
