Children in Natures Garb.

AS for the children, they run about in
the garb that nature gave them. Sometimes
they wear 'patadion," which is a long
scarf-like garment sewn together at the
ends and draped in various ways about the
body. These children are the brightest and
quickest imtators in the world. They are
born soldiers. 1t Is amazing to see bands
OF these boys, not day over five years
old, drilling like American soldiers and 60
ing through everything from guard mount
to parade in the most perfect manner. And
what is more astonishing, all the commands
are given by their leaders in clear and dis
tinct English. 1t is really d wonderful per-
fGrmance.
The natives dearly love 4 holiday, or

fight not long ago in honor of the ''presi-

of the great Spanish national diversion.

These men paraded the streets before the
fight. and they presented a very handsome
appearance. They wore suits of brilliantly
colored silk with broad -brimmed felt hats
and variOusly coored capes, lined with red,
thrown over one shoulder. They rode fine
looking native ponies, and some of them
carried long lances decorated with ribbons

Some Striking Facts About the Far
Off Filipino.
LAZY, STUPID And SUPERSflTIOUS
Combines All the Vices With Some
Good Qualities.
A LIV ELY B Z LII FIG H T

In the course of another letter recently
received by his relatives Capt. Will H.
Monroe of the 31st Infantry, United States
Volunteers, now stationed at Zamboanga
Mindanao Island, gives striking picture
of the characteristics of the Filipinos. In
the course of his epistle he says:
The Filipino is a compound of laziness,
good nature, superstition and stupidity.
The Zanboanganian is no exception to the
rule: he has some good qualities and all the
vices; generous and brave, but, on the
other hand. vicious and lazy, and passion
ately fond of gambling. He will sacrifice
his immortal soul for a few pesos to put
up on a cock fight, and has been known to
set a price on wife or $child for one more
chance in some Chinese gambling hell.
Even in dress he affects characteristic
mode. He usually dresses in white cotton,
with a loose shirt worn outside of his
trousers. He seldom wears shoes and
stockings, but is very proud if he can get
an American hat, especially if it happens
to be stiff hat say of the vintage of o.

poor she may be. Except when in mourn

The skirt seems to be great fold of light
material tucked up at one side and leaving
the leg bare almost to the knee. No stock
llGS are worn. ana the loot Is slipped into
an odd-looking shoe called a ''chinela,"
without heels or uppers except narrow
strip over the toes. 1t is an art to keep
this dainty footgear on, but the native girls
even dance in it. over the shoulders a
wrap of cocoanut fiber is worn in a tr-
angular fold that comes well up at the back
of the neck and is fastened with a bow of
ribbon on the breast. Sometimes the place
of this wrap is taken by kerchief of the
rarest lace, SO fine and beautiful that even
under the closest scrutiny no flaw can be
detected.

Like most savages, the Moros are exceed
ingly fond of bright colors. Moro dress
is usually riot of color, and both men
and women have a notion of fit that would
make you gasp Instead of the loose and
such as the Filipino women wear the
is not an inch of material to spare They
wear trousers which are wide and long
and gaudy. The cloth is frequently filmy
silk dyed in several different colors The
Moro lady who cOntemplates making her
self a pair of trousers has very vivid
notion of color. and this neither garment
is apt to display gOrgeousness of no
uncertain tone. Some few wear skirts SINH
larly colored Some go barefoot some
wear slippers after the Filipino fashion
None wear any covering for the head, ex-
cept, perhaps, the ''patadion," a long piece
of silk or other light material, loose outer
robe which generally hangs in graceful
folds from one shoulder. AS to the Moro
man, it is hard to say which is the more
picturesque, his head or his legs On his
head he wears a turDan which increases
in magnficence with the number of colors
tight that every movement he makes is a
source of wonder to the beholder The
turban is made of a large ''panuelo" or
kerchicf, of raw silk, woven and dyed by
the Moro women. The folding of a tur5an
is most artfully cOntrived. 1t is small and
clOse-rolled, and is variously arranged to
denote the rank of the wearer The Moro
wears jacket that always looks too small
for him. About his waist he binds sash
or girdle in which he carries his kris or
bolo. Every Moro over fifteen years of
age carries a murderous weapon of some
kind. very often of the finest steel and as
sharp as a razor.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Woman's Vote in Kansas Not in Dang e

N0NlAN NOAl w NNutouo iNA Ut OdNk
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir. Last week the newspapers were
sending broadcast the startling an
nCunCement that the women of Kan
sas were in danger of losing the NUM-
cipal suffrage which they have en-
joyed for the past fourteen years.
Representative b. H. Butler, who
fathered the bill, gave as his reason
for so doing that the woman vote was
the most corruphng influence in mu-
nicipal politics. He said:
81 don't mean that the momen are
corrupt. but the manipulator is cor
effect that the woman vote was easy to
manipulated
Therefore, according to his mascu-
line logic, the women must be disfran-
chised, but the corrupt male manipu-
later could be left in full sway.
IL will be remembered that not long
ago John Charles Thompson, OF WyO-
ming, made a similar statement TO the
effect that the women vote was easy to
manipulate, but when he came to try
to manipulate it he didn't seem to sue
cead as he had expected and the re-
suit was that he was returned to the
bosom Of his family, having run zoo
votes behind his ticket
While Mr.. Butler may not be in
danger Of sharing the same fate as Mr.
Thompson. inasmuch as women have
no vote for members Of the Legisla-
ture in Kansas, it is very evident that
the men of Kansas are not in sympa-
thy with him, as his bill was promptly
killed by the judiciary committee, and
thus the opposers of woman suffrage
have been deprived Of valuable aid in
retarding the progress OF women.
