THE BIRD LOVERS.

The bonny. bonny little birds:
IL Is their hour of need,
They have no power to beg for life.
IL Is for them 1 plead.
They have no power to cry to us.
When pride or fashion slays them.
For women who pretend to love
And Judas-like betray them.
For women who will praise the song
Then bid them slay The singer.
That the wee head or tortured breast
Some added charm may bring her.
Could you but see the bright wings
torn
From birds alive and bleeding.
And note their quivering agony.

ing came to the great Bay of Ilana. a
vast curve in the southern coast Of Mlnda-
mao. which is lined at the west with half
a dozen or more hazy blue islands which
rise like great mounds out of the sea.
The shores in the distance seemed to rise
up like a blue wall. upon which the clouds
rested. AS we went further into the bay
the scenery grew wilder and wilder. We
found the hills densey wooded. great bushy
trees coating their sides. and silhouetting
themselves against the sky line at the top.
Back Of the hills at our right were rolling
mountains of navy blue, which apparently
tumbled over one another. half washed with
cloud masses of feecy white. Here a long
strip of snowy vapor stretched itself like a
necktie below the heads of the hills, their
blue tops paeping out over it and separating
them from the dense blue walls below. The
clouds hang very low in this part of the
world. In some places they rest upon the
water and in others they Just touch the
tops of the hills. The sky above is always
filled with masses of smoka-like clouds,
which. like those of the hills, are always
chasing one another

not less than 70 francs (s96l) nor more than
1G1 francs ts123W, and the arm in question

1t is also a crime severely punishable for
any one to put any testing marks on fire
arms. or even to mark the caliber. to add
the words Choke bored" or anything of a
similar character.
Single barrel muzZle-loaGing shotguns are
tested but once. while a double barrel Is
tested twice A single-barrel breech-load-
barrel is tested three times. The guns hav-
ing more than one test have the barrels
tested before they are fastened together
and again when breechbock Is finished In
all cases at least double the usual charge
of powder is used, and that of an extra
fine quality which is carefully tested three
times each week: and one-thlrd more shoi
is used than ordinarily.
The loss by testing varies from ] to :, pei
cent; the largest percentage OF loss is in
the higher priced and lighter guns. Tne
same quality of steel is used for all bar
rels but the difference comes in the work

The cost OF testing is paid by the manu-

The Fiercest of the Moros.
The Moros of Cottabato are said to be the

Spaniards since 1890, and almost always
successfully. They have a good organiza-

himself to be a commander of his people;
He has all the Chinese thrift combined
with all the Chinese cruelty. He Is said
to have made himself very rich and to
have added to his wealth by killing such

taxation. Last September he killed twelve
of the leading insurrectos. They were organ

They We're taxing the people, killing all
who opposed them. The Chinese merchants
appealed to Datto Piang. He came in with
his Mcros. picked out the twelve 1nsur-
rectos and sliced off their heads.
AT present Datto Pang is a friend of
the Americans. Before troops came he
sent word to General Bates that he wanted
to turn over the region to him, and he
asked for American flag. He appoint
ed Christians as pres.dentes of the various
districts. and put in a Moro guard to carry
out their orders.
Another datto of this same region is a

the Spanards for years, but who Is now

fellow. having passed his three score and
