A humorous touch in connection with
Lafcadio Hearn's naturalization as a
Japanese was the reduction of his pro
-fessional salary from 100 to 80 ven a
month. AS a foreigner he drew a lar
ger salary than the native instructors.
but at the dinner in celebration of his
change of nationality the president of
the university rose and observed that
now that Professor Hearn had become
one Of them the last insldious distinc-
tion would be removed by cutting down
his salary. And the American horn
professor tried to look as though he en-
joyed it.

A small man in gray coat sat in a
Valencia street car and eyed the army
officer opposite with i'll concealed dis
favor. Finally he remarked to his COM
panion, tall man: These monkeys
under shoulder straps give me the wea-
ries.''
"Me too"
"'They take themselves seriously"
continued the small man. IF we had
more real officers and fewer upholster-
ed peacocks in the Philippines, the
fighting of the men of the line would
count for more. never see one strut
ting the street but that / want to kick
his useless carcass.

No port lamps CLEAN along our sidsas
No banners float on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our sea or sky.
No admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunncrs stand,
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike, stern command.
Yet all the nayies Of the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That thunders through tbS gale.
BY captains gray our path is marked,
BY sailors white and old;
For us the phantom rockets glare,
And phantom bells are tolled.
In misty, unremembered ports
Our beacon lights were set
By hands long gone frorA mortal view,
By forms that men forget.
And we may wander on our course
Till time at end shall be,
For in our breasts are locked the hulls
OF ships once lost at sea-

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

Each Has the Power of Life or Death
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 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 date,
have gambled away the money. For
give mer'
VERY we'll" said the dato. See
that it does not happen again.
Once more the retainer came. saying
"Oh, great and benevolent dato, again
have | gambled away thy money. and
again beg thee. in thy great mercy, TO
forgive me-
This is the second time | have for
given thee said Jokanine, "but the
third time, l 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, Il have
sinned again and taken thy money.
Mercy! Mercy"
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 ma
tives.-Harper's Weekly.

Many Illustrations of the thoughtful
ness of Sir Thomas Upton have come
to light since he left the United States,
says a New York correspondent
Among the floral gifts sent to Sir
Thomas was n ship of flowers, the hull
of which was green ammortelles, the
sails of silk and the cargo American
Beauty roses. A missionary saw the
ship and thought of one of her pa
tents, Seward Patt of St Paul, in the
Marine hospital, Staten Island. She
elbowed her way to Lipton's side.
Il would like to beg just one flower
for one of my charges she said
Sir Thomas was interested at once.
He wanted to know about the man,
how long he had been i'll and where he
lived.
II don't like to part with my gifts"
he explained, but you shall have some
flowers"
He explained the matter to David
Barrie. and Mr.. Barrie, after the
steamer sailed, placed the young WON
an in a brougham and drove to flor
lists, where great box of roses was
placed in her keeping.

Speaking of poison murders. native
of Maine told of peculiar crime that
occurred in his state. This was the
case of a man who had tired of his
wife, and in order to rid himself Of her
in the shortest and most expeditions
manner possible he determined upon
her death. Divorce. while feasible
method, appealed not to his frugal
mind, since it involved a large initia-
tory expense from counsel fees and a
continuous one from alimony.
So on murder he resolved. arsenic as
the agent to effect it, and the method
through which TO introduce the poison
into the stomach of his victim with
out arousing her suspicious the usually
innocuous and popular lemonade.
At the trial it was proved thar he
carried through his plans with skill
and finesse. but after the deadly LEM
onade had been drunk by his too trust
ing spouse, noticing that some of the
precipitate remained in the bottom OF
the glass. he stirred it well up and
again handed it to his victim with a
loving smile, at the same time remark
ing, But the best's at the bottom, my
dear"

One OF our reader, asks us TO ex
PLAIN why iris is not q leap year, or
which amounts 20 the same thing,
why Pope Gregory Kill, the author
OF the present calendar, excepting
the ceutnfiai years from the IEie
that years exactly disl-iole by 1oaf
arc cap year.
The rue Or finiing leap years in
the Grr1orian calendar Is that all
years exactly Invisible BY four are
cap years, except each io0th year,
winch must be- exactly dlvisIbie by
400 n order TO he q leap year As
vii be seen at a glance, 1900 is not
exactly divi>ibe by 400. Tue year
1000 will be so di"l>lbie, aud will
therefore be a leap year.
Pope Tregorys reason for except
ing the ears al the end Of the Ell
fury from the general rule Is easily
Understood. The year, unfortunate
u, does not oDslst OF au even mum.
Ter OF days. l. is made up, to be a.
exact as possible, OF 800 days, }
hours, - minutes, aud Il seconds.
That Is ten minutes and torly-eight
seconds less than 800 IL days
Now, tor the purpose Of convent
ence, 1t is necessary To have the cal
endar year free from fractions Of
days: and the , hours, 40 minutes
and II seconds lett owe from the
365 days are roughly estimated a
o:.e-quarter OF a day and allowed &c
accumulate tor tour years, wher
they are treated as a whole day anC
lnlerpoIated as such, making a yea
OF 3bj days or a Leap year. Never
theIess, it must not be forgotten
that each ,ime a day is thus interpo
lated, there is an error OF tour times
10 minutes and AZ seconds, or 4;
minu,es and Il seconds. IL lOt
years this excess amounts to arou
lhree-quarlers OF a day. This three
quarters OF a day is treated as
whole day for calendar purposes ant
one leap year is dropped until til

SEVERAL CATTLE DEALS.
An Innocent Walnut Grove Resident Adds to His Herd from His
 Democratic Neighbors.

The result of the election will re- suit in a change of ownership of a large number of cattle in Walnut Grove. J. E. Wagoner was the prin- cipal beneficiary. He wagered cattle on Mckinley with all his democratic neighbors who had cattle to bet, and he will increase his Mckinley herd of cattle by probably fifty or sixty Bryan COWS, calves and steers. He went about it in a very shrewd man. her, too.
 On his return from the east he gave out an interview to the Courier in Prescott, for the special benefit of some of his democratic neighbors whom he knew took the paper, and who would not read republican paper. saying that it looked mighty favorable for Bryan all over the east where he had visited. He remained in Prescott for couple of days be- fore going to his home at Wagoner and this interview reached there ahead of him,
 Every body knows that Ed. is a strong republican and would rather lose a fat steer any time in a bet than to be bluffed. So when he reached home he found that this little bait that he had thrown out had been nibbled at and offers to bet cattle on Bryan were showed at him, one after another. He did not take the bets eagerly, for fear of frightening away his game, but with an apparent show of great reluctance, as though they were being forced on him, he took one after another until he had about fifty or sixty head of cattle cor raled. He even went so far in the way of encouraging the others as to say that it was so dry that he wanted to get rid of his cattle, any way, and on bracer of this kind could get eight or ten at a time put up.
 He is now engaged in having a round up of Bryan cattle for the pur- pose of transferring them to Me Kinlev pasture field.
