WHO IS
CHARLES GRAY?

A question of much interest at
present is who is Charles Gray ~
The Weekly Americen published
in Manila, in its issue of May %
last contained the following.
"Apropos Of the recent defiant
attitude of the Moros there comes a
story from Paragua an island OF the
southern sea, which represents truth
stranger than fiction. The chief
Data of the Mohammedan popula-
tion of that island is an American,
born in Delaware, of patriotic par
entage.
His story is romantic one.
Early in life he went to sea and fol-
lowed the mast to the four corners
of the earth. In fateful moment
adverse winds wrecked his bark
and cast him adrift among the
Koran adherent on the southern
shores Of Arabia, where he beca me
convert to the Islam faith; and,
putting once more to sea, he was
stranded upon paragua. Finding
the people among whom fortune
tossed him We're also of the Mosiem
creed, with true American ener gy
he enlisted in their ranks with an
ambiti on to command the whole.
The uses of adversely in this in
stance proved to be sweet, for in
two years he found himself master
of the tribe, welding scepter over
5000 human beings as absolute as
did Mohammed himself over the
vast hordes of Arabia.
This man, fair haired and blue
eyed, a master of English and a
dream of physical perfection, de.
clares his belief in the teachings of
the Graat Prophet. He would
rather make peace, he says with
the American authorities, who have
invaded his domain, but unless his
tribe is squarely dealt With, he pur-
poses to follow their cause to the
final issue, though it be death.
1.-The army officers who know him
report a most favorable opinion of
the man. 1t is said that he is just
and is beloved by his people. Should
the Moro uprising become general
there is no doubt but that he would
ally himself and tribe to the fortunes
of the Sultan.
The mans name is Charles Gray,
and he claims to Ee a descendant of
the well-known family of that name
in Delaware. His age is about 50,
and he is an educated and intellect
ual man. The world will hear
more from this man from time to
time as the destiny of the Philip
pines is carved out"

Snakes Ran Him Out

Praikie Du Chen, Wis, July T.
Terrified and discouraged by the
presence of numerous IA ttlesnake
Nuns Helgerson, a farmer, who lived
with his family in an out of the way
place in the town Of Seneca, has
torn down his new residence, erected
two years ago, and moved back into
his old home, half mile away.
The new house had hardly been
completed in the spring Of last year
when the presence Of raLtlers was
noticed, and as fast as found they
were killed. With the approach of
summer however, their numbers in.
creased, and the household was great
ly alarmed. Occasionally a snake
would get into the house. although
no one was bitten.
One evening recently as the fami-
ly were retiring for the night the
mother found a large snake lying
on the bed. On another occasion,
in midday, while she was rocking
the baby to sleep, the house cat
gave an alarm, and snake with IL
rattles, coiled up and ready to strike
lay under the woman's chair.
They were in the cellar daily and
could be heard climbing between
the walls and on the ceiling over
head. Lost summer the family
could stand it no longer, and remov-
ed to the old home On the other side
of the farm but returned in the fall
A rattle snake den was found this
spring in sort Of cave under the
house and although hundreds of
reptiles have been killed around the
door yard they seemed to be as
numerous as ever, and Mr.. Helger-
son decided to demolish the dwell
ing and rebuild near the site of the
old home.
