DOG. TOOK FILIPINO VILLAGE

Merely dog, Monogram is a war
hero of repute. Monogram weighs zoo
pounds and proudly claims as master
Clarence Loyeberry, now of the United
States transport Oopack.
When the transport Arab was bound
for Cagayan recently there was squall
and Monogram went overheard.
The Arabs cargo was consigned to
Cagayan, says the San Francisco Chron-
icIe, but it was impossible to make the
port in such a sea or to do anything but
keep the ship right side up. Later The
vessel put into an island harbor some
miles distant
When the great wave swept the Arabs
deck clean of its freight his disconsolate
master thought his dog lost. He began
to count how many Filipinos he would
have to kill for to make up the loss.
He had reached thousand and three
when the port hove in sight, and had
finally decided that there weren't enough
| Filipinos in the market to tempt old Nep-
tune, when the first thing that met his
eyes as the small boat touched shore was
Monogram.
Mr.. Loveberry knew that that was no
dog of his. Washed overheard in sea

Favorite Game Of tho vassar Girls.
The most popular athletic game at
yassar Is basket ball. Each class has
team, and in the spring match games
are played between them. These
games are among the most exciting
events of the year. Each class, the
girls all wearing; white duck suits,
with collars and belts of their class
color, form in procession and march,
with much cheering and waving Of
class flags, out to the circle, where
they draw up around the basket ball
court Then the teams appear on the
ground, and slipping off their capes
and skirts appear in the gym" suits
all ready to begin.
The class greets them with tumultu-
Gus yelling, which continues until the
referees whistle sounds and the game
is called. Then there is complete ST.
lence, the game begins, and every one
watches with breathless interest An
unusually good play brings forth On
admiring but suppressed "Oh-h-hv' but
when goal is made there is an uncon-
trollable shout from the scoring class.
Except for these Interruptions, the
game goes on in silence. But when 1t
is all over pandemonium reigns. Every
one yells, whether her side has won or
lost, though naturally the victors are
a bit more enthusiastic about 1t. The
winning class, gathering up Its team
as it goes, makes a dash for its class
tree, and proceeds to hold an inPromp-
tn celebration.
The basket ball championship Is held
this year by the senior class. who

Woman Rules the west-socially.

Woman Rules the West-SOcially.
The majority of Western men are
out of their element, says w. D. Ly-
man in the Atlantic, in anything ex-
cept business and politics. The wife
usually acts as head Of the family in
all manner of social and religious
crises, as inviting a ministerial guest
to ask a blessing at table or conduct
family worship, while the masculine
partner slouches around at such times
in hulking and uncomfortable con.
seriousness of his own lack of piety and
polish. That solemn sense of his own
dignity as head Of the house, that
shrinking Difference paid to him by the
weaker vessels of his family, which
'magnifies the pater familias In Eng
land, and to some degree in the old.
fashioned New England community
this never lightens up the pathway OF
the average Western householder. He
may consider himself in great luck II
he is not discrowned entirely. The In
dependence and "go-aheaditiveness" OF
women seem to co-exist with 4 gen
eral high standard of intelligence. for
statistics show that Washington IS
third on the lists of States In freedom
from illiteracy. being surpassed BY
Iowa and Nebraska only. In fact, the
Pacific coast ranks very high in aver
age education and intelligence. though
there Is not, of course. so much of high
cultura as In some circles of older COM
munities.

MISSIONARY WHO WAS SAVED
RY A SNAKE.

Among the earlier COlOnlStS IN NEW
England was one-a most devout man
a preacher-whose zeal soon led him to
90 as a missionary among the red men
of the forest. Although the Indians lived
all about the little settlement of the
whites, this man decided to go far into
the wilderness and to live entirely among
the rude people, to whom he wished to
preach the gospel. So he took his tent
and set it up at place many miles from
the nearest white mans town. He learned
the Indian language and every day
preached to the unletsered sons OF the
forest.
At length the Indians became alarmed
at the encroachments Of the whites and
decided to rise and massacre them. The
lone missionary could hardly hope to es-
cape. One night several Indians, with
their tomahawks, started forth to kill
him. They crept silently up to the tent
and reeped in. There sat the good man,
porting over his Bible by the light of a
flaming pine knot. The Indians raised
their tomahawks to strike him, when
their arms fell helpless to their sides
A huge snake, feeling the warmth of the
fire that glowed near the missionary,
glided out of his hole, crawled harmlessly
over the missionary's feet and disap-
peared. The Indians turned and fled,
feeling sure that they had witnessed a
miracle. The Great Spirit, they said, was
a friend of the good man and had pre-
served his life from the fury of the
poisonous reptile. In the bloody yal
that followed the uprising of the red
men the good missionary was left un-
| harmed, no Indian daring to touch him
This story, said to be true, was told fol
many years afterward by the colonists o.

Other Stories About Bulgaria

The BuIsarians have a language Ct their

which bears the same relation to that Ian
euage as the Scotch bears TO the English.
There are Greek letters IN their alphabet
ana Greek words in their vocabulary, but
the language is Slay0nic. No Bulgarian
could understand q Greek. and vice versa,
ana Russian peasant could not converse
with Bulgarian peasant any more read
ily than Highlander could talk with p
costermoneer from WhitechapeI. because
each has his local idioms; but educated
Russians and Bulgsrians can understand
each other even If each talks in his own
language. Russians can read Bulgarian
newspapers and vice versa. PhiloIogists
are of the opinion that the Bulgarian
language is quite as close 70 the old Slav
tongue as the Russian, and il is a curious
fact that many words may be traced to
the ola Thracian and Ilyrian tongues.

Slavs drove the original population into
the mountains and seized their lands on
the plains. but in the second half of the
seventh century a horde Of uncouth war

He took six bottles of your medicine
