A curious letter, written in long,
back-handed loops, not wholly unlike
the whole notes in musical notation,
recently passed through the depart
ment, says the Boston Evening Tran
script. 1t was from Wato Mama Da-
toh Baqui, one of our faithful subjects
in Mindanao, a ruler of his people, and
Mohammedan of true faith and al
legiance. His conduct had been so eX-
emplary at the time when other in
habitants of the Philippine isles were
giving much trouble to the United
States, that Gen. Macarthur, after a
tour through that part of the archipel-
ago, decided to send this Datoh q cane
He accordingly had one beautifully
headed and engraved, at an expense
of about $50, and forwarded to the
loyal chief with his compliments. The
acknowledgment, translated into Eng
lish is as follows: This letter from
your brother Wato Mama Datoh Baqui
to his brother the Captain General of
the Philippines concerning the appro-
pirate present-a cane-which l have
received from his EXcellency through
the commanding officer at Malabang. |
wish to express my great gratitude to
him for his thoughtful remembrance.

ing S5,00G,000 was not the end of its
expense, as its maintenance was very
costly. These estimates, lie said, did
not cover any recommendations for in

liz buffalo. The riches Of the Philip
pine forests in both building and fur
niture woods is incalculable. but for
use in the islands many valuable spe-
cies are almost useless owing to the
ravages of the white ants which swarm
there. A few months ago Capt Ahern
reported to the war department that
he was making experiments with a
variety Of native woods to determine
their capacity to resist attacks from
the ants. He labeled large number OF
sample pieces of wood and placed them
in an unused house where the ants
could operate freely upon them. On
reaching Washington, Acting Secretary
of War, Colonel Sanger, who follows
closely everything done in the islands,
inquired as to the result of the expert
ments. "Mr. Secretary" said the cap

samples they were all gone" "What!'

HYMN OF THE WAGNER.

MN OE hAhG VhoO<NA~ss
o sailor bold! when DER the deep
The brave ship beats through stormy
weather,
IT'S sun and stars thy course must
keep;
IT'S trusting binds all hearts to-
gether.
Then, landsman, hail! For us the
Marks out path which never varies
Until within the west is won
A rest beyond the rolling prairles!
Let hungry danger haunt our way,
There's yet time for mirth and
sighing!-
We've sworn our leader we'll obey
And seek the hills where gold is ly-
ing!
Then come away! Across the plains
Good fortune yet shall smile above
us,
And some glad morn the love that
Shall lead us back to those who love
us!
Has not the hunter here his wish,
Where roads are smooth and streams
are shallow?
Each prairie POOLS agleam with fish;
The shy deer feeds along the fallow!
In hollow trees bees hide their sweets;
Wild fowl to every wood are wing
ing;
And natures joy the heart repeats
When through the silence song is
singing!
What though in marshes serpents
nest?
What though in thicket turks the
savage?
These are the perils of the west,
And there's no spot death will not
ravage
Then westward no! We venture where
The bright day dies in a golden
glory,
And all our hopes lies over there
In lands unknown to song or story!
Then lift the song! Let valleys ring.
We lead the way, and more shall fol-
low,
Who to slumbrous life will cling
When hearts but ache and truth is
hollow.
Sing as we bound DER hill and dale,
Like ships that ride above the bill
lows,
Our wagons mark the outward trail
And God keeps watch where valor

Curious Condition Governing Arrest.

Rear Admiral Terry, commandant al
the Washington navy yard, tells ar
amusing story about court martial re-
uuirements in the navy. Admiral Skier
rett was then captain, and an officer
who had been charged with an offense
and ordered under arrest presented
himself wearing his full dress uniform
but having no sword. II can't arrest
you," said Capt. Skerrett, looking fol
the missing sword, unless you come
prepared to submit your sword to me. y
The officer explained that he had moi
received his sword from home, al
though it had been expressed to him
well, you'll have to get one" was
the reply. So the officer skirmished
about in the navy yard for some one
who had sword to lend. Finding
one, the offender returned to Capt.
skerrett and was promptly and regu-
larly put under arrest according to
regulations.

Chicago School Teachers Fought to Make Corporations Pay

upon Illinois corporations Will be can
not now be determined, but it is evil
dent that if the corporations named in
the writ are assessable many of the

eventually be reached.
While the teachers brought suit
against only twenty-three of the lead
ing corporations there are 1000 cor
porations in Cook county upon which
the decision of the court can lie easily
brought to bear.
The court is very severe upon the
state board of equalization for what it
calls a palpable neglect of duty, and it
lays down a specific rule which the
board must follow in making future
assessments.
The corporations contend that it is
impossible 70 place fair market value
upon their intangible property owing
to the fluctuations in the value of their
stocks and bonds. 1t is said that they
will appeal to the United States courts.
but many attorneys declare that as no
federal point is involved no such APP
peal can be taken.
At any rate there can be no doubt
that the city's revenues will be greatly
increased at once unless the lawyers
can find some statute under which they
can apply for an injunction. Not only
will the teachers get their larger sal
