SIXTO LOPEZ
BEING WATCHED
His Honolulu Talks Make Him
an Object of Sus-
picion.

The Manila Times says: Though per-
haps unknown to himself, yet Sixto Lo-
PEI, the Filipino Agitator, Is constantly
under the watchfuI eye of the United
States government. Wherever he goes,
an agent follows him even to his shad-
ow, and all that he does, and principally
what he says, is conned, noted and refer
red TO Washington
This step has been deemed advisable
on the part of the United States govern
ment, owing to the incendiary utterances
which Lopez has been scattering broad
cast wherever he has gone. With no
means to prevent the wouId-be Filipino
leader from going to his home, the atten-
ton of the authorities has been aroused
as to how TO keep aim from being dan
gerous when he reaches here. Major w.
W. Robinson Jr., the depot quartermas-
ter in Honolulu, decided that when Lo-
PEI was there the authorities should be
kept informed of the utterances of the
reTolutionist, and so the mail carried Iun
details OF an interview with Lopez and
answers to questions submitted. which
nave appeared in the Honolulu papers.

HAS NO FRONT DOOR KEY.
President Has to Be Admitted by Atten-
dant to White House.

Although President Roosevelt is
the undisputed lord and master Iof
the white house, he is probably the
only man in Washington who does not
carry key to the front door of his
domicile. When Mrs. Roosevelt
moved into the white horae the stew
ard turned over to her lagre bunch
of keys, but, while there was key
for each door in the living quarters
of the big building, there was no pass
key for the main entrance. The rea-
son for this us that it is unnecessary
for any occupant of the white house
to carry key, for there is always a
watchman on guard to admit those
who are entitled to enter. Night and
day there is an attendant on duty at
the front door. Ifthe president ever
decides to go on nocturnal exploring
expedition, such as those he was noted
for as police commissioner of New
York, he will have to make use of the
back entrance if he wishes to escape
the notice of the watchmen. There
is only one man who carries a key of
the front door of the executive man.
sion, and that is Col. Bingham, super
intendent of public buildings and
grounds of Washington. He is sort
of custodian for the white house, and
recently ordered a new lock for the
front door. The new lock is a compli-
Gated sort of affair, and only an ex-
pert would know how to manipulate
a key SO as to work it. Two complete
revolutions Of the key are required to
open the door, and if another turn is
made, it throws the deadlatch on. A
relic of the old days of the white
house was removed the other day
when workmen took out the old
door bell and puttied up the hole.
The bell was an old-fashioned one Of
the pull-doWn variety, and it would
be highly priced by collector of
colonial goods.

I'm FORMER DAYS.
The Sunday Closing Question Brings Up
an Odd Renaissance.

I note that in Springfield they have
tried to stop all sorts of Sunday work.
An aged friend of mine, in remarking
the change in sentiment, said: 1sWell
do I remember the days Of my youth.
My father made us black our shoes
every Saturday night, carry in enough
wood to last all the fires over Sunday
and do everything possible to bedone,
that Sunday might be a day of rest in
theory and practice. And during all
nay life at home [ never saw our
horses hitehed up on Sunday, though
We had to go full mile to church,
rain or shine, snow or sleet. They
kept the Sabbath holy IN those days
The same chronicler said, further:
'"There were few topers in our little
town, but they must have had Scotch
blood in their veins, for they would
not, under any circumstances, have
thought of buying a toddy at theinn-
keepers on the Sabbath, and, in fact,
the innkeeper himself observed the
day vigorously. There was no back or
side entrance TO his place. Cincin-

A PHILANTHROPIST.
Eccentric Southern Genius Who Cared
Not for Riches.

Three years ago there died in one
Of our southern cities man whose
rules Of life were so different from
those Of his neighbors that most Of
them thought him mad.
He lived in a spacious old house,
surrounded by garden, which he had
bought 40 years ago. Large blocks Of
business houses now hemmed it in,
md He was offered a price for his lot
which would have made him rich.
But he would not sell it, says the
Youths Companion.
'sThis is home to my old wife, he
said. T could not buy for her with
the money you offer the comfort and
content that she has in her home and
garden"
.sBut you can makeyour sons rich, :
it was urged.
T do not want to make them rich, .
hereplied.
His neighbors sold their lots, spec
ulated, amassed large fortunes,
pushed their sons into politics or
made them manufacturers or brokers,
that they might amass still larger
wealth. He made Of the boys work
inc horticulturists like himself.
It is a business which will give
them comfort, but not wealth. he
said. In it, foo, they will not be
employed by other men, nor employ
many hands, and SO will be outside
Of any future struggle between capi-
tai and labor in this country
When he had gained sum large
enough to keep his wife from want,
if she should survive him, he gave
up his vineyard and gardens to his
sons, and devoted the rest Of his life
to charitable work and to the cul-
ture Of a new grape of a peculiarly
fine flavor. When he had succeeded
in bringing it to perfection, he gave
cuttings from it to all the poor horti-
culturists that he knew.
"A man" he said, should try to
leave the world richer by something
for his having been in it. Some men
leave a great picture or a book or
noble thoughts to it. I only have
a grape to give"
He gave il with all his heart. His
neighbors, whose business in life had
been to gather great heaps Of money,
called him eccentric. Judged by al
that is noble in life, who was more
sane, he or they?

A HIGH CLIMBER.
Tells How He Reached the Top Of a
Stand Pipe.

Say he went on, Il fool people

pipe in the waterworks of a Penn

asked what I would charge to get

soon as I understood the game, and
I'll do it to-day. All 7 want from you
is to lower the water in your stand
pipe to ten feet from the bottom for
moment when ! give You the word.
What's that for?' the boss says.
Never mind says I, Just do it. You
can let it go right back to the top

it was going to cost them over a hum
dred, and he was so tickled at the idea
Of getting it done for $40 that he
never said another word.

MIND AND MATTER.
Bogus Opa1s Like the Real Ones Bring
Bad Luck

ssI have just had a professional ex-
perience which leads to new interest
in the problem Of mind over matter" :"
said prominent local jeWeler to a
Star reporter the other day. "a young
lady came into my store short time
ago with many evidences Of distress
on her face. She, however, was dressed
richly and bore no evidences Of pow
erty. Asking to see me personally,
she was conducted into the office. She
produced what she explained was an
opal bracelet, and asked me to dispose
Of It for her. She said the bracelet
had been given to her for a birthday
present last October; that the giver
had explained that opals were lucky
stones for persons born in that month.
Nevertheless shehad always possessed
horror Of wearing opals, and the
beautiful stones, which shimnered in
the light, seemed to be constantly on
her mind as she wore them. Her mis-
fortunes began at once. She quar-
relied with a cherished friend, burned
hole in her best froek, lost set out
of diamond ring and had two short
stories refused by the magazines. At
this juneture she took off the brace
let and tucked it away in her bureau
drawer, and soon after this the house
caught fire and was IN imminent dan
ger of burning down. It was just
after this catastrophe that she
brought the bracelet to me.
After hearing her story I took the
fatal bracelet and put the stones un-
der a glass for examination. They
were not opals at all, but very clever
imitation. They were made BY COM
position process, and this I explained
to my perturbed customer. She was
intelligent enough to take in the sit
uation Immediately and took her
bracelet home. She came in my store
yesterday with it on her wrist and
smilingly informed me that her bad
luck had ceased. Washington Star

HEARTS SUNSHINE.

Oh. if only those who love US
Would but tell US while we live;
And not wait until life's journey
Ended is, before they give
The smile we hungeredl after,
Tender words we longed to hear,
Which we listened for, but vainly,
For many a weary year.
There is much of pain and sorrow
All must bear, and bear alone,
Yet how helpful is the sunshine
OF CHEEKY look and tone;
How 1t brightens up life's pathway,
And dispels the shadows grim,
And restores our shattered idols,
Which We built in days now dim.
Then bestow your sunshine freely!
Let it shine from out your eyes,
Let 1t speak in warm hand pressures,
Let it breathe in heartfelt sighs;
Let it cheer the fainting spirit
OF some brother in distress,
Let 1t thrill our jarring voices
With a note of tenderness.
For in serving fellow mortals
We best serve the Father, too,
And in tightening their burdens
Ours grow light and fade from view.
And a sympathetic nature
That vibrates to others needs,
Is bit of Gods own sunshine
Quickening to noble deeds.

A FILIPINO CEREMONY.
Exercising the Bad Spirits Whom the
Iporrotes Fear

tSoIIUteS 1cdI.
The great seething Fettle, filed
high now with meat, sputtered and
frothed over its edges, as the bare
legged men prodded the meat with
short sticks or held some more than
usually tempting piece up to the gaze
Of the appreeiatiye gathering. Most
Of the shock-headed and dirty men
sat contentedly near the warmth Of
the fire, now and again lighting their
tiny hand-carved wooden pipes with
live coal, and sucking away with much
energy upon the vilest tobacco imag-
Unable. A suggestion Of coming CON
geniality was visible on their usually
stolid faces, and more than one would
break into a droning, gutteral song as
the effects Of the tuba set his sluggish
blood in motion.
Away from the common herd, says
Harper's Weekly, sat the hereditary
chiefs attending the gathering, most
ly in wicker chairs, the handsomest
and almost the sole articles Of furni-
ture in Mateo's house. There is but
one proper way to stir chair COM
fortably, according to Igorrote ideas,
and that is to pull the heels up under
one in the seat. It was amusing to
see a line Of these dignitaries, whom
no poor man dares to recognize until
he is first spoken to, sitting on their
heels on a hardwood bench, gossip
ing away for dear life, and becoming
more confidential with each succeed
ing hour of tuba-drinking.
As the sun sank to the horizon, the
priestess, dressed in foWing-sleeved
short bodice, and short blanket skirt
Of purple-striped, natiVe-woyen fab
ric, her head encircled with a red tur-
ban, came to the door, at the head Of
the short house ladder, stood a mo-
ment waving the loose end Of a small
blanket thrown over the shoulder, and
holding small china bowl in the
other hand. She then descended as
majestically as it is possible for
woman handicapped BY skirts to come
down the rungs Of a ladder, and
stalked out into the open. Mateo and
his wife and nine children moved to
meet her. With moving lips, but no
sound escaping, she began a short IL
cantation, to exercise the bad spirits
whom the Igorrotes fear, and then
with fierce step forward she grasped
a piece Of bloody heart from the lit
tie bowl and daubed first one and then
the other Of Mateo's cheeks. Theop-
GRAFTON was repeated until the ten
derest toddler Of the family had a
blood smeared face.
