BoLIvIA's QUININE.
Extensive Groves That Furnish Bark
for the Market = How 1t
Is Gathered.

The quinine plantations, or quinales,
as they are called, which have been
started in this country by the Germans.
are usually found on rough and broken
mountain sides and at attitudes Of {, 900
or 1000 feet above the sea. The trees
viii grow at an elevation Of 5000 feet,
but they flourish best at about 600, for
they require a great deal Of sun, rain
and wind to reach perfection.
Most of the groves have been raised
from the seed, which is gathered in the
early summer months and planted in
hothouses. When the plants are about
six inches high they are transplanted
upon the hillsides, which have been
cleared Of underbrush and plowed up
beforehand, so that the young roots
can secure the benefit of all the mois-
ture and plant food in the soil and the
heat Of the sun. For shelter they are
partially covered with twigs, straw or
other light stuff, which also serves 10
keep the moisture and heat in the
ground. After about two years this
shelter is raked of, the plants are care
fully inspected and those which are not
promising are replaced by new ones.
The ground around them is kept clear
Of weeds and the young trees are care +
hully trimmed twice a year. In five or +
SIX years the tree win have reached a T
height Of y or u feet and its trunk
wiz be straight and slender. with a di-
ameter Of about six inches. 1t resem-

PHILIPPINE DOGS
when There Was Any Firing Going
on They Made Themselves
Scarce.

Those who saw the soldiers mascots
under fire In the Santiago campaign
were pretty well convinced that an ami
NAL does not know when it is under
fire, and is much more afraid Of the
guns discharged by its friends than of
those discharged by the enemy. The
animals in the coast villages which
were bombarded by the American feet
did not take 10 fight with the inhab-
itants. but remained quite unconcerned
unless a missile fell in their immediate
neighborhood.
However, story altogether different
is told Of some Of the dogs in the Phil
ippine villages. The trustworthy cor
respondent Of the Record says that the
Philippine dogs are invariably long and
white, with ears pointed like those Of
fox. They are always hungry, and have
no objection 10 inhabiting the Ameri-
can camps.
On the day Of the fight between the
American and Filipino armies at Bag
bag the signal corps men were engaged
in stringiDg telegraph wires along the
railroad track, in order that the com
manding general might be informed Of
the progress Of the battle. Not gun
had yet been fired. Suddenly white
native dog went fitting swiftly through
the grass at the side Of the railroad. /
The signal men called TO it; IL paid no
attention, but kept on southwark, get
ting out Of range as fast as its legs
could carry it.
Presently a shot was heard, and IN a
few minutes the fusillade became gem
sral. More dogs now came rushing
past, their noses to the ground. Bull
let's raised the dust in front Of them
and cut the bamboos above them. They
could not run faster, and they dared not
stop. They were getting out Of the
fight as fast as they could, and were
all going in the right way.
One OF them was wiser than the rest.
With astonishing intelligence he sought
The deepest part Of the ditch, covered
from the fire on one side by the high
and protected on the 9TH
er by grass-covered mound. He Law SO
it'll that the soldiers thought he was
lead, as they passed by in a crouch
ing attitude on account Of the flying
bullets.
The correspondent who tells the story
ooked closely at the dog and saw that
lis eyes were wide open. The CORE
Ipondent spoke to him, as If threaten
ng to orive him on, but the look which
anne into the dogs eyes asked SO plain
y to be let alone that the man could
10 no less than to respect the appeal.
The dog was left behind. He saw the !
harge Of the Kansas volunteers, but :
lie did not bulge as they went by him. /
lie heard the shrapnel explode and the |
ullets cut the air, but he seemed to /,
now that be was safe in the ditch, and I
e had no notion ofmoying TO get bet j
er view.
At night, after the shooting was Q
yer, he came to the camp timidly. Some .
ne threw him piece of meat. He grew Il
rayer and followed the Americans to Il
alumpit; but during the fight there he k
isappeared, and only showed himself b
gain after the shooting was over. He Il
a clever dog, but, like some Of the Il
atives, he mo quiere mucho boom is

THE DEMOCRATIC ..v. c."
A Famous War Decoration Open to
Everybody-Ifr Eject ON
the Men.

To Americans the greatest merit o.
the famous British decoration OF III,
Victoria Cross must be the enHreIy
democratic character Of It's regulations
Among its first recipients was a negro
William Hall, Of the Naval brigade
which cut such heroic figure in the
Indian mutiny. Since that time 1t has
been won by two other coIored men,
William Hodge, Of the First West India
regiment, and William j. Gordon. OF
the Fourth. OF these three colored
~. C.'s," the Oldest, William Hall. is. il
he is still living, a very old man. A
photograph Of him taken in 1895 shows
him as venerable, white wooled but
still erect and vigorous man. It is Gu
rious that all three Of these colored he
roes have the same first name. william.
Perhaps because Of its being thus opeu
to anyone, of however lowly estate. the
Victoria Cross in not included in the
list Of Orders" given in the works on
heraldry.
Among the regiments of the British
and Indian armies, the Ninth lancerx.
otherwise called the Queens ROYALS.
and Of disastrous fame in connection
with the present war, stands first on
the list of distinction as regards fhe
Victoria Cross; the South Wales Bor-
derers, formerly the Twenty-fourth
infantry, being second, and the Black
Watch (Royal Highlanders) third. In
point OF actual numbers, the Borderers
reckon 16 crosses to the Is Of the
Queens royals, but the former, being
an infantry regiment, with two bat
talions, has more than twice as many
men on its regimental books as the lat
ter, which gives the Queens royals the
first place, after due allowance. The
Black Watch numbers ten crosses. OF
the 10 V. C.'s in the Queens royals, all
were won in the Indian mutiny, except
thatof Lord William Beresford, broth
er Of Lord Charles.

There is less dissatisfaction
among the farmers in the Chero
kee nation than in any other sec.
tion of the domain of the five
tribes, and the disturbances SC
common in other parts OF the ter
ritory on account of expiring
leases, and general discomfort
among the renters is almost OF no
consequence here. This fact is
not without significance. and from
a financial standpoint means that
business in towns of the northern
part of the Indian Territory will
not suffer disaster on account of an
exodus of farmers and stock raisers
from the country. There are rea-
sons for the more favorable con-
ditions that prevail in the Chero-
kee country, and foremost among
them is the fret that the lease and
rental contracts generally made by
the citizens OF the Cherokee nation
are more in keeping with that
which = reasonable and fair be-
tween man ard man. Non-citizen
farmers have always been able
to do well in the Cherokee nation
and they have not felt that they
owned the land either. Not 80 in |
other tribes, especially in the
Chickasaw nation. In that coun- /
try, until recently the Indian land
lord was not much OF factor, and I
was not considered in the business
calculations Of the people. All the
farmers in that section practically
are Of the non-citlzen element,
whereas in the Cherokee nation,
about Vinita and
throughout the upper end of the
nation, many OF the best farmers
and ranchmen are Cherokee citi-
zens. The outlook is therefore
encouraging to Vinita and other
owns hereabouts, and while our
are suffering disaster
o the farming and ranching in
crest we are comparatively safe
rom such disturbances.

may prove to be fatal errors. One very
noticeable fact in the convention was the
persistent bringing up Of the rationale

not do. Another equally noticeable fea-
ture was the constant cry of ''anything
