A sampl. of Filipino or.tory.

Filipinos have the oriental gift of
oratory of the ornate, fiowery kind.
An illustration OF this is contained in
the last mail from Manila. When
about 100 Filipinos employed in the
ordinance department of that city took
the oath of allegience to the United
States, their spokesman, Hugo Asun-
cion, delivered the following patriotic
address:
"Filipinos: This is the hour in which
the light spreads itself over the fields
like mantle of gold; when the an
cient trees, with their clinging para
sites, lazily move their great crowns
in the breath of the early breeze; when
the shrubs greet the day with the de-
licious odors of their flowers: on
whose tendrils the dew has left a pearl
which the sun turns into a beautiful
gift from serene night of love; when
their hymns of praise; in short, all
nature salutes the father Of life, the
luminous representation of the creator
of the world Now that we have had
the happiness of being gathered under
the starry banner, do not doubt, Fill
pinos, that the grand republic Of
America is that which will conduct us,
be :. late or early. to the moral and
material good of these islands. There
fore, y,r who have signed and sworn
your fealty to this grand nation, join
with me in crying: Long live the star
ry banner! Long live our colonel!
Long live our lieutenant! Long live
America"

On. Way of Swearing on.

"Give me pony of brandy, quick!"
exclaimed a nervous-looking man as
he rushed up to the bar Of hotel the
other afternoon, says Chicago paper.
The liquor was at once forthcoming,
but instead of gulping 1t down, as the
mans manner naturally suggested
that he would do, he poured little
into the palms of his hands, rubbed
them together, and buried his nose
in his hands. He gave long-drawn
sniffs of inhalation until the liquor
had evaporated, and then poured more
from the glass into his hands. This
operation he repeated until the glass
was empty. Then he paid for his drink
and went out with look of content
ment on his face.
whats the answer?" asked an in
terested spectator.
ut simply means that there are more
ways than one Of beating the devil
around the stump" said the bartender.
"That man swore off drink the first
of the year, and don't believe he
has swallowed drop of liquor since.
He inhales it now-always brandy.
I've known him to come in here as
often as fve or six times in one day
and go through the performance you
have Just SEEN"

AN UNFORTUNATE INDIAN.
Tragic Fate of the Only Red Man of
Little Muddy

Little Muddy,
The city of Little Muddy, on the Up
per Yellowstone, was an exceedingly
wideawake town in ST. When it had
reached the mature age of three
months every kind of business man
was represented except the cigar deal
er, and the next week man from Chi
cago named Clark opened a tobacco
store, with large, gaudy and aggress-
i've wooden Indian in front, holding
tomahawk savagely in one hand and
bunch of cigars in the other. Gen
tlemen not unconnected with the stock
growing industry who came in from
the ranges wearing spurs and weapons
would resent his threatening attitude.
He was knocked off his pedestal half
dozen times day, but did not meet
his Waterloo until Tobe HARTLEY and
friend, Long Isaac, came in town from
Lightning's Nest neighborhood. 1t
was their first vacation from the ranch
in several weeks. They wandered
about town in a receptive mood and
sought to enjoy their visit. Finally,
they separated, and Tobe, coming
along to the Indian and not noticing
his upraised hatchet, sat down at his
feet to rest He soon fell asleep and
sank lower. At this juncture Isaac
came around the corner and took in
the situation at a glance. Killed my

PROTECTING HIS FAMILY.

4 Bull Moose's Fight with = wildcat n
. Maine Forest.
A story illustrating the courage Of
moose and their devotion to their
young is related by Maine guide, says
the Sun. He was with party OF
sportsmen from New York and Bos-
ton. hunting big game in the Bangor
and Aroostook region. One morning
after light fall of snow they came
upon the tracks of three moose, ap-
parently bull, COW and calf which
they followed. Some distance further
on side hill they found signs of
struggle. evidently between the moose
and some other animal-a mountain
lion or wildcat. The snow was covered
with blood spots, showing that the
fight had been fierce. The sportsmen
and guide continued to follow the
tracks and at intervals found evidence
of further encounters. Finally the
party heard sounds of battle ahead
AS they mounted the crest of hill
peculiar sight met their gaze. Re-
treating as rapidly as possible under
the circumstances was a goOd-siZed
COW moose perched upon whose back
was calf that had apparently been
injured, while little in front of the
COW large bull moose was engaged in
desperate fight with an enormous
wild cat, the largest cat the guide had
ever seen. The party watched the fight
for some minutes. until finally with a
sweep of his antlers the moose dealt a
blow that seemed to disable the cat.
The hunters might easily have killed
the bull then and there. but their ad-
miration for the pluck and resourceful-
ness of the moose family saved the big
fellow. When the wildcat tried to get
away he was quickly shot The three
moose moved rapidly, out of sight.

calf had been in some manner so in

intelligent parents had arranged to
carry him, pappoose, style. upon the
broad back of the mother. While trav

family had been attacked by the Wild

A Business and Pleasure Trip
for the President
and Cabinet

accompany him and also force of
clerks to transact routine business.
The itinerary for the trip has been SO
carefully arranged that the officials re-
naming on duty in Washington will
be able to communicate directly with
the president at almost any hour. Cab
met meetings will be held as they are
in Washington. Routine matters will
be LETT with the subordinates at the
capital, but all matters of Importance
will be referred to the travelling capi-
tai, as the special train will practically
be. 1t is only within the past few
years, and only by reason of American
inventions, that such trip is pos
sible. Thousands of miles from Wash
ington, Mckinley will be almost as
much in touch with the business of
the nation as though he were in Wash
ington. And but very few rulers can
get so far away from their capitals
without going outside the limits Of
their territory.

Elephant in . Barber Shop.

Quite an excitement was caused
around the zoo at Indianapolis, Ind,
by baby elephant, which escaped
from his keepers and proceeded to
make things lively while he had his
freedom. He dashed through large
plate glass window into a barber shop
and drove the frightened white-coated
men into the street. Escaping from
there he ran down Illinois street until
he was attracted by a stuffed bear in
front of fur store, which he tore to
pieces. He then conflscated the stock
of fruit vender, the owner, like the
BARRIERS, fleeing in terror. He was fl
nally captured by trainers from the
zoo who got him by the ears and
marched him home.

G.rran,um Leave. a. a rlavorlns.

From time immemorial the rose ge-
ranium has occupied prominent place
in popular favor. Our grandmothers
have been known to strew the fra
grant leaves among their lingerie, but
few know of the culinary value of this
humble plant. The next time you are
making crab-apple jelly try this re-
ceipt with a few glasses: Have the
geranium leaves washed to free them
from any possible parasites. Then,
just before pouring the hot jelly into
the glasses, throw a small leaf into
the bottom of each glass. 1t may be
allowed to remain until the jelly is
used and will not spoil it in any way.
The result is an indescribable flavor
which improves the jelly immensely.
Sometimes when baking cake line an
earthen plate w.-h the geranium leaves
and turn the hot cake out upon them,
leaving it there until quite cold The
steam absorbs the fragrance from the
leaves. giving the cake the daintiest
possible flavor. that suggests nothing

Year.

The health Of Ii Hung Chang is aow
a matter of grave consideration for the
ministers Of the powers. His health
has been slowly and steadily waning
for a year past, and there has been fear
for some months that he would not
survive the negotiations in which he
plays SO important part. What the
effect of his death would be upon the
situation at present is difficult mat
ter to conjecture, as no other man in
China has the influence with the Chi
nese court that he has.
Though he is a physical wreck, the
earls mind is still as brilliant as ever
and he handles the affairs of the ma
tion with great skill The sagacious
old man has played his cards with
almost wizard-like skill. Who would
be able to take up his work where he
lays it down no one can tell, but it is
a strong feeling that Minister WI.
now at Washington, might succeed
him.
Between Ii Hung Chang and Mr..
WI there has been a lifelong friend
ship, and the younger man has in
many ways been an apt pupil of the
elder. 1t is not improbable that his ell
ovation to the commission would be
received as a clear advantage to the
prospect of peace. 1t might, however.
be opposed by Germany. because of
the fact that WI is less oriental in his
habit of mind than Ii Hung Chang,

bered that WI was educated in Hong

great American fortune is to be fur

experimenters say, by the transform
ing in bricks, hard, compact and we'll
nigh imperishable of fruit pulps. CAL
lorna people are experimenting in
their manufacture; the problem is al
most solved, and before long We shall
be sending immense quantities of them
to Europe. The fruit bricks, accord
ing to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
retain their freshness for surprising
length of time. They are all but proof
against deterioration, being perfectly
good and fit for use eighteen months
or two years after being manufactured.
About the consistency of soft gum
drop, they are decidedly toothsome,
and the pulp being mixed with large
percentage of sugar, they hold the fla
vor of the fruit admirably. Fruit
pulps are already being prepared in
this shape in France, and though as
yet growers of this country are not
manufacturing them commercially;
there is every reason to suppose that
before long we shall make and sell
them in great quantities for foreign
buyers. Strawberry bricks, raspberry
bricks, plum bricks, currant bricks and
gooseberry bricks will soon be on the
market for domestic consumption as
well as for export. Being almost like
fresh fruit and readily utilizeL by the
housewife for pastry and other des-
serts, they are sure to earn quick pop
ularity. Furthermore, their cost will
be very moderate, manufactured as
they will be in great quantities at the
fruit-growing centers, and wrapped
simply in oiled paper, so as to avoid
the expense of cans or other recepta-
