HOW TINO HUMBLED AN AFRO
CANT DON.

| Albert Sonnichsen, in his volume,
'"Ten Months a Captive Among Fill
pinos," tells an amusing anecdote of a
gentleman of Old CASTLE, Don Fran
cisco, who lived in Vigan in the time
| of the Spanish government and held a
high position in the civil service. Don
Francisco was a very naughty gentle
man, and demanded homage from all
his interiors in social standing, espec-
tally from natives Any Filipino who
dared to pass him without first salut-
ing soon learned to rue his neglect Don
Francisco, being proud man, was al
so very strong. Thus with his muscles
did he teach the natives the respect
due his person. Considering all this, it
is really not surprising that the worthy
Don was not especially beloved by the
people. Everybody must salute him
lit was with him mania
But the instruction came, and. along
with the rest Of his countrymen, Don
Francisco was taken prisoner by Tino's
forces. Now the tables were turned,
and the people cried for the blood of
their quondam oppressor Death to
Don Franciscoi' they shouted at the
prison gates.
NO" answered Tino. +" he shall not
be killed in cold blood. We are not
savages."
Then give US satisfaction" the peo-
pie cried again-"give us satisfaction
for the wrong this man has done u.s.
Tino now issued a proclamation call
Ing upon all who felt themselves
wronged by this Spaniard to assemble
on the plaza the following morning,
when satisfaction would be given to
each one. All Vigan was agog to
know what the proud aristocrat's pun
ishnent for his = former arrogance
would be.
When morning came the plaza was
thronged. Tino made his appearance.
and after him came Don Francisco. es-
corted by four soldiers, armed, not
with guns or bolos, but with rattan
canes. Then all those who had any
grievance against the prisoner were
told to form in line. and one by one they
hled past Don Francisco who was or
dered to salute each native as he passed.
Each time man passed and he failed
to salute him the soldiers cut him
across the small of his back with their
rattars, SO he soon concluded to salute
each man. All day long, from early
morning until night, that endless file
marched by, and to each one the now
humbled Spaniard repaid a salute
which at some time past he had de-
manded by force. Many, having once
passed, returned to the rear and feIl

Northern visitors not only filled the
hotels at Palm Beach this year: they
slept on billiard tables and were even
quartered in a church." according to
a Chicago man whose habit Is to live
in Florida during the height or the
winter season. THE story about guests
who had been placed in church or
dering drinks with instructions that it
be charged to a certain pew number
is no joke. They ordered FIVE cocktails
in that fashion, and, being boys, it
occurred to them that that kind of talk
to the waiter would be a huge morsel
OF fun. There are millions of dollars
invested in that part of Florida, and
the northern visitors, who come from
almost every section of the country,
have netted the investors this year a
nice profit

When Benjamin Harrison was in the
Senate, he often went hunting with
Howard Case, who was for many years
associated with him, in the northern
part of Indiana, and stopped with an
old farmer. who for some time had
been engaged in controversy with a
neighbor in regard to dog, whose
sheep killing propensities had often
caused the old man considerable worry.
The animals depredations at last
brought his owner into a lawsuit, ana
the trial was set down for hearing
while General Harrison was in the
neighborhood, and the farmer, under
standing that his visitor was one of
the best lawyers in the country, begged
him to take up the case. General Har-
rison consented and drove over to the
nearest town the. next day with the
farmer. His eloquence caught the
jury, which returned verdict for the
farmer without leaving the courtroom.
The farmer was greatly pleased at the
result of the suit. II thought you was
a pretty good dog lawyer" he kept re-
peating to General Harrison all the
way back to the farm, land If ever
that dog gets me into trouble again,
I'm going to send for you, cause I
don't believe you can be beat on dog
cases." General Harrison enjoyed the
incident immensely, and never tired of
telling the story.

| 1t blew, rained and hailed last night

| the coast more welcome. But the
pressing question is, what is it going
to do next? Professor Willis L. Moore
chief Of the United States Weather
Bureau, who is In New York city, has
been interviewed, and he has said: I
think that the present hot weather will
continue for lengthy period, probably
without a break for month. The heat
is general, and unless a storm is due
off the coast that will have sufficient
force to move across the continent, the
wave will continue during the period
usually filled by warm weather. The
months Of July and August are noted
for heat, so 1t is improbable that a
cool wave OF any length can be devel-
oped during those months, The atmos-
phere all over the country has become
thoroughly heated. However, there is

This Is cheering, including the pos

depressed or elated by what its head
man says. Don't you remember, sweet
Alice Ben Bolt, how on the Sd of March
last it came out with definite and I'M
qualified prophecy of fair weather In
Washington for the Inauguration? And
It rained the next day like sixty. OF
course it is reasonable to expect warm
weather about this time, as the old /
almanacs used to say, but perhaps 1t
isn't going to be continuously quite as
warm as it has been. And If 1T is we
can get used to it. There was a man
in India who was condemned to sleep

and at the end of that period he had

Although these are not exactly Bible

him came the other day Nadia Par
kerson fifty-two years old, and Hiram
johnson, about the same age Miss
Parkerson had noticed a pig in Hiram s
pen and she claimed the ownership, but
Johnson protested. Miss Parkerson
brought the matter before the Squire.
After he had heard both sides of the
case he directed that the pig be killed
and divided equally. Both sides pro-
tested, but neither would yield the own
ership. THE only way to settle this
case" the Squire finally said, SIS to get
married and keep the pig in the fam
ily." After some hesitation the pair
concluded 1t was a good idea. A mar
riage license was procured and the
Squire performed the ceremony
There can be no question about the

in great shape How wise those who
acted on his suggestion are remains to

A st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Economist sends that paper
some interesting information about the
trade Of the Russian empire. 1t is now
practically stationary. The imports
over the European frontier, the Cau-
casus and Finland in 1900 reached a
value of about s2s5, 100000, decrease
of per cent. as compared with 1885,
The exports had a value of $344, 900, 900
In 1900, an increase of IA per cent over
the previous year. The foreign trade
of Russia is said to amount to not
more than SIS per head Of the popula-
tiorl as against about $50 for the Unit
ed States. Russia's share per capita in
1900 was actually lower than in 1878.
