SWEETS FOR
THE SWEET
Hundreds of Pounds OF
Candy Going

The sales OF Christmas candies are
feared that the sales this year would
fall below the expectations they had
when they made their Christmas pre-
parntions Of stock, but the develop
ments of the last few days, have
caused their faces to be wreathed In
smiles. Christmas candles are now be-
Ing bought, and hundreds of pounds
have been carried to homes in the city
and county during the last few days.
The counters are crowded from noon
until closing time, and the attractive
boxes and packages are proving as
popular as the bulk goods. Candies
are certainly among the Christmas
staples.

SLAVES
Would Not Seek
Freedom.
Strange Statements In
Philippine Report.
War Would Follow Attempt to
Set Slaves Free.

Washington, Dec. 20.--The Philip
pine report made public today states
that slavery Is wide spread among the
Moros, but at present it exists in an
extremely mild form. The old slave
hunting expeditions have nearly ceased.
Military officers everywhere expressed
the opinion that Moro slaves were,
on che whole, so well satisfied with
their lot, that If they were all set free,
majority of them would promptly re
turn to their old masters, and volun-
tarily take up their old life again.
An attempt at the present time to use
force In securing the liberty of Moro
slaves would inevitably provoke a fierce
conflict with a brave and warlike peo-
ple.

When number of elephants are ship
ped a strong structure is erected on

ed by the feet. No doubt IL an emer-
gency they could easily walk away

throwing the stable aside if it offered

the door happened to be shut. Ele-

all kinds. He valued the lot at $50, 900.
The Agra-that was the name of the
ship he was coming home on was
swinging at her anchor off Point de
Gale, Ceylon.
Suddenly there was heard a fearful
crash that gave pause to everything,
The chattering. the screaming, the
growing and the roaring of the ami
mails stopped dead. The startled men
looked for just moment straight in
the face of each other. Then the ex-
clamation, Great heavens, she's sink

just blotted out the Stiffness At one

beast seemed to realize the situation
and at one and the same moment they
all began to exhibit symptoms of the
alarm they felt. In the case of the men
they were free to devise means of es-

themselves accordingly. In the case of
the animals they were confined and
had to undergo the horror of facing a
death they were powerless to avert. 1t
is natural for an animal to die in com

bat lasts there is hope of escape. There
is no facing of death here, the animal is

natural way. But with the animals
cooped up on the Agra, with never an
enemy to fight, it was far different, and
they gave vent to cries of unbounded
despair. The elephants made a noise.
too, but there was not one touch of des-
pair there. 1t was the businesslike
sound of crashing timber. and before
the Agra had reached bottom a herd
of elephants was swimming to Ceylon!
