more than expense, and its abandon
ment was several times proposed. The
Jesuits. however, urged its continu-
ance. and their influence prevailed.
We have heard much recently of the
possibility of holy war being de-
clared by the Moros, but that danger
is largely imaginary. Like practically
all the tribes of the islands, the Moros
are not given to wonderful acts of
bravery. but are rather inclined to
cowardice. They learned from Spain
the lesson of the superiority of mod
ern arms against their NATIVE weap-
ons, and while some of them are armed
with rifles. the great majority have
but the native spear and kris. There
are. however, in both the Sulu group
and in Mindanao small groups of those
who have taken binding oath to die
while taking the blood Of Christian,
and these are to be feared, not be-
cause of their numbers, but because of
their fanaticism and treachery.
The Lake Moros live practically in
the lakes Their homes are erected
on bamboo poles over the water. In
fact, nearly all the towns and villages
of the island are situated either along
the coast, on the banks of the rivers
or in the edges of the lakes. There are
1874 towns in the island ranging in
population from 500 to 1884, and 400
villages of less than 500 people.
The natural resources of Mindanao
exceed in many ways those of any
other of the islands of the Philippine
group. Throughout the entire island
the famous spices of the east, such as
cloves, nutmegs and cinnamon, grows
wild and luxuriantly. Rice, hemp,
sugar cane, cotton, cabanego, indigo,
coffee, tobacco, cocoanut, corn, sweet
potatoes and all tropical vegetables

Saint Justfn's Body Found.

It is announced from vincenzs,
Italy, that while some boys were
playing inside the parish church at
Monticello they found an iron chest
the lid of which they managed to re-
move. Inside the chest was a CORPSE
remarkably well preserved, clothed
in the vestments of a bishop. The
bishop of Vincenza sent commits
sion to investigate the. matter. The
commission found some documents
in the chest which proved that the
body was that of Saint Justin. who
died $50 years after Christ. The re-
mains were inferred with much
solemnity and great excitement now
prevails in the locality, owing to
the rumors of many miracles having
been performed.

are cultivated by the natives with
great success.
It's mineral wealth is represented by
valuable deposits of coal, working
mines of gold and reported copper and
platinum. The mineral possibilities
are regarded as the most promising in
the entire island territory gained by
the United States in the war with
Spain.
The forests are also valuable. The
molave, resembling yellow pine; the
valuable teak for ship building, ebony,
for furniture making, and jumpers and
expresses. Of productive trees there
are gum, resin, wax, honey, medicinal
and dye plants. Of fruit, there are
grown the pineapple, mangosteen,
sapote, banana, orange, lemon, etc.
The natives own large herds of cat
tie, horses and caribaos, and, though
the Mahometan faith prevents the
raising of hogs, large numbers of
these animals are found wild in the
forests.
The coast of the island contains a
number of the best harbors to be
found in the world. They are great
bays, some of them land-locked, capa-
bic of affording anchorage for the
largest ships. Of its rivers, the largest
is the Rio Grande, navigable for fair
sized boats for a considerable dis
lance, and probably the largest stream
in the whole group of islands.
The mountain ranges contain sever
al volcanoes, and the whole of the
island is more or less affected by
earthquake and volcanic disturbances.
The highest of it's mountain peaks is
the volcano of Apo, 1912 feet high.
Since the American occupation con-
siderable capital in the hands of Amer
leans has gone into the island for the
development of these resources, and
with peace and a stable government
there is a promise of industrial and
commercial activity such as the island
has never known before.

A Hitch in Spelling That Was
Smoothed Out by "a Harvard
Graduate.

They were making copies of inventory lists
when doubt arose as to the accuracy of the
spelling Of JDrdiniere in the original copy.
Miss Blown" called the typewriter,
''please spell 'jardiniere., -
Certainly" returned Miss Brown, blithe-
ly. "J-a-r-d-a-n-i-e-r-e."
"Oh, l don't think that second syllable is
spelled dan Mr.. Wyeth, will you spell
jardiniere?'
"J-a-r-d-i-n-i-er-e," returned Mr. Wy
eth.
The typewriter blushed, says the New
York Sun. Mr.. Wyeth was partner, and
it's hard to tell partner he can't spell Il
don't think that's quite right" she faltered.
Lets look in the dictionary
The dictionary was an old edition and
didn't contain the word. Suddenly hope
loomed large in the person of the senior
partners son: He was fresh from Harvard,
and thei entire office appealed to him
through Mr.. Wyeth's: Say Ransome,

the thing down as flower pot" Which
they did.

This virtually marked the first eff
forts of Spain in the southern islands.
The Mahometan faith was carried
into Mindanao by Adasaoian soon
after he had established his kingdom
in Basilan. He took for wife the
daughter Of Dimasangcay, king OF
Mindanao, and with the marriage the
Mindanao king embraced the faith OF
his son-in-law, and made it the tribal
religion.
Spain made numerous efforts to sub
due the natives of Mindanao. Each
new governor general at Manila
thought it incumbent upon himself to
begin a campaign for the extension of
Spanish control. In nearly every eXpe-
dition of this kind Spain was victori-
Gus for the time, and SO long as they
kept garrisons in the subdued terri
tory. But they never accomplished
anything of lasting nature, nor did
they ever get far from the coast. This
was not due so much to the opposition
met with as from the fact that the
campaigns were begun and conducted
for show purposes, or for the purpose
of enriching government officials from
the funds voted for war purposes.
The first attempt at Spanish con-
quest in the island was undertaken by
a Portuguese cavalier in 1895. He was
granted a title of general in the Span
ish army, and with a small force he
assembled the Rio Grande river. The
expedition was composed more of
priests than of soldiers, and met with
almost immediate disaster. In the
first encounter with the natives the
general was killed and his forces
driven back to the mouth of the river,
where they constructed Notifications
and remained for several years with
out again attempting an invasion of
the interior.
Spain eventually succeeded in estab-
fishing headquarters at Zamboanga,
and bnilt prison there, which was
maintained as long as that nation
ruled in the archipelago. This head
quarters was productive of but little

THE SMILE THAT COUNTS.

IT'S easy to smile when the sun smE.ss too.
And the sky is a field Of blue;
But give me your smile when the sun is
gone,
And the sky is ofleaden hue.
IT'S easy to smile when the flowers smile
too
And you walk in their odors sweet;
But give me your smile when the flowers
lie dead,
And the thorns prick your weary feet.
IT'S easy to smile when the birds sing
cheer,
And you bark to the ripping rill;
But give me your smile when the waters
sigh,
And the songs of the birds are still.
IT'S easy to smile when the world smiles
too,
And you walk with joyous heart;
But give me your smile when the whole
world froWns;
Can you smile when the teardrops start?

nents give it an area of 46,521 square
miles, supporting an estimated popula-
ton of 1869 people.
The Moros are the ruling power.
They settled in the island and i'm
planted the Mussulman faith upon it's
shores at about the same time Spain
was pushing her conquest of Luzon
and the islands further north. The his
tory of Mussulman occupation of both
Mindanao and other of the southern
group is but legendary to a great ex-
tent. It is known that two Borneo
chiefs who were brothers quarreled
over their possessions there, and the
defeated one. had to leave. Gathering
a number of his followers about him,
they emigrated to Basilan, small
island to the south of Mindanao. This
was the first settlement of the Moros
in the Philippines, and from this first
small settlement they rapidly extend
ed their conquest to the Sulu group
and to Mindanao.
Paguian Tindig was the chief who
founded the first settlement in Basi-
Ian, and with him came cousin, Adas-
aolan. The former eventually emil
grated again to Sulu, while the latter
remained in Basilan, where he estab-
lished a kingdom, and in time became
so powerful that he made war upon
Tindig, his cousin. and defeated him.
Tindig had, however, appealed to Spain
for assistance, and while it came toolate
to prevent the utter rout of his army,
it did prevent the usurpation of the
government on the part of Adasaolan.
