from the shores OF beautiful tropical
bay up the slopes of the burning
mountain Mayor
Should Mayor some day blow up
and there have been several warnings
there will be loss of life even greater
than at St. Pierre when Pelee's top
burst open. For Albay is one of the
largest towns of the Philippines, con-
tanning 1900 souls, and numerous
small villages are within the danger

A trip by boat to Mayon is one of
the regular features of a Philippine
tour The volcano rises, naked cone
of blue and green and brown, from
a plain thickly covered by jungles of
bamboo, COCO palms, mango trees and
cane Usually the bay is as calm as
an inland lake, rejecting about its
edges the COCO palms along the beach.
Beyond the palms, peeping out from
the green forests of banana trees are
the grass thatches of the towns bam-
boo huts, with here and there the red
tiled roof of the more pretentious
home of some Chinese merchant or
local dignitary.
About Mayon's broken, Jagged top
float yellow vapors, sometimes hard
ly to be distinguished from the bill
Lowry clouds that blanket the upper
slopes.
Stretching out for miles from the
mountains base are gigantic fields of
abaca, or hemp, bread-leafed plants
like banana trees, forming arched
over walks between their regular
rows, through which the tropical sun
light barely penetrates with greenish
glow.
1t is the richness of the black lava
soil that attracts the large agricul
tural population to this region. Hemp
is the principal product, but almost

other large town, engaged in trade in
a lazy sort of way. Once a month he
might visit the school and spend half
an hour there in solemnly asking the
children who Moses was, or why
Spain was the greatest country on
earth. Then he would go away and
not return for another month.
The schools were usually kept in
small grass matched houses, built at
the cost of the municipality. There
was no system. Each native substi-
tute taught as he saw fit and as little
as he chose. The children were
grouped around him in a semi-circle,
and to each one he assigned lesson
tolearn by memory. Each pupil then
repeated his lesson aloud, which, of
course, caused a deafening uproar,
but the teacher would only lean back
in his cane chair and calmly smoke a
cigar. Thus they learned to repeat
whole chapters from Bible history,
geography and Spanish history.

~ DATING is one of the principal
K means of livelihood of the
l. Filipino laboring classes. In
all the Philippines there is
only 100 miles of railway; almost all
the transportation of products from
the interior is carried on by means of
RATS, cascoes, boats or small steamers.
The country has been especially bless
ed with numerous pavigable rivers, and
on them the tobacco, hemp, indigo
and fruits raised in the interior are
brought down to the seaports, whence
they are shipped on sailing craft and
steamers to foreign countries.
The convenience of river naviga-
ton accounts for the backwardness
of the people IN constructing good
roads. Wagons, such as Americans
have, are entirely unknown there, the
merchandise being transported from
the plantations to the nearest river
landings, never very distant, in old

THE lot of the Filipino children
of the last ten years has not
been a happy one. Few of

them have not been forced
to witness almost daily scenes of
bloodshed and outrage. Schools have
been woefully neglected until lately;
still, few Filipino children over eight
cannot read and write a little. Their
brightness has often been commented
upon by those who have been teach
ers in LuZon.
In the days of the Spaniards the
public schools were farce. Spanish
teachers were appointed and received
a fair salary for instructing the native
boys and girls, but, as matter of
fact, they never taught.
The Spaniard who had received an
appointment as teacher would hire
a native assistant and send him to fill
his place, while he himself would
spend his time in Manila or some

BOY IS KILLED
UNDER FREIGHT CAR
Gale Chaffee Is Run Over and
Both Legs Severed-Dies
at Hospital.

While on his way home from a foot
ball game in which he had received an
injury, Gale Chaffee, thirteen-year- old
son of Gibson A. Chaffee, of Merriam
Park, attempted to board a moving box
car on a Milwaukee spur track, and
losing his hold upon the handles, fell
with both legs across the track. The
car ran over him above the knees and
the boy died last night.
Gale Chaffee left the game with a
bloody nose, having received a blow ac-
cidentally in a rush after the ball, and
in crossing the railroad track, near the
Minnesota Transfer ball grounds, made
an effort to get a ride on a string of
Milwaukee box cars being hauled by a
switch engine. The cars were moving
rapidly and the boy, after seizing the
hand-hold between two of the cars,
lost his grip and fell to the ground,
both legs being crushed above the
knees by the wheels.
The boy was picked up by a number
of his companions who ran to him on
seeing the accident. and he was car
ried to Cobb's hospital, three blocks
distant.
Both legs We're amputated at the hos
pital last night but the boy, suffering
from the great shock and loss of blood
was unable to survive He died at 10:45
The boys of the Park, it is said, have
been in the habit of stealing rides on
the freight trains that run to and from
the Minnesota Transfer, and Gale had
been warned by his father to keep off
the cars. The fatal accident was a
great shock to his parents and his
companions.

With her Photograph in his inside

in Minneapolis seeking to reclaim from
life of shame the young woman who
was to become his bride three years
ago. He wassaccompanied by two de-

came the villain, a young physician,
polished and debonair. He seemed to
exercise a. Strange influence over the
girl, and, to- cut the story short, an
elopement followed and c. Harry was
left brideless:
Afterwards, he learned that the ply
