LISTENING TO A FAIRY TALE 80

4, of this as the children, but most fun
it is TO see two boys of 10 or II at it.
Each boy has in his right hand a
long stick, which represents d bolo,
the Filipino sword. This is to strike
with. In his left hand he holds a short
stick, representing a dagger, called the
"campit." This is TO catch the blows
of the other boys bolo.
Both combatants square off, crouch
ing and springing and wiggling with
a lot of unnecessary activity, it ap-
pears to you. The circle of spectators
about them bowls u~proariously. The
two fighters make horrible faces at
one another as though they contem-
plated making meals OF zach other.
All the time their bolos and cam
pits" are whirling about in a bewilder-
ing fashion, and you think moro-moro
is a dangerous sort of game. If you
are not too dignifed you may even
howl a little with the rest of the spec
tators in your excitement. Every mo-
ment you expect to see a knockout
blow delivered.
Suddenly there comes a pause. IL
two duelists have become transhxed;
they stand like tor statues of Roman
gladiators, their "campits" crossing
| each others bolos. Now begins the
real noise. If you understand the
dialect, you will hear something like
this, only more or less in chorus:
Il tell you, Juan has got him."
you lie. Jose could stick him IN
the ribs"
"Juan's bolo guards him we'll"
lose holds him back with his cam
pit"
That's a lie. Juan has the best of
it"
you are a born liar. Jose has the
advantage"
And thus the dispute wakes warm
| while the two g~ladiators are patiently
petriied, until their friends decide
| which is in the better position to
slaughter the other.
When this has finally been made
clear, the fight goes On until another
doubtful position again petrihes the
two combatants, and then the specta-
tors have another verbal fight over it.
Sometimes such a match may last
for hours, until the fighters are COM
pletely exhausted.
Filipino Boys Play Their Football
Games With Heels.
Another highly exciting game is
basket ball. 1t IS something like foot
ball, but the ball is made of wicker
straw, and the boys do not kick it
with their toes, but with their heels,
sending the ball over their heads, for
ward. This brings quite as much eX-
cited contention as the moro-moro,
and if words do not decide, fists will.
The country boy may blush and stare
in Manila, but when he is on his native
heath he is a very pugnacious little
chap.
The little girls do not enter active
ly into these games. They can only
watch, not participate. They have
their quieter amuSements; their dolls,
their pet chickens, their games.
Filipino girls have long known the
game Of Jacks" and a tot will often
sit alone for hours, tossing the iron
crosses and humming 10 herself. They
are apparently very meek little things,
but there are occasions when they
flare up, too, and then they are just
as aggressive as the boys.

pIa Father Out Of sand pit.

Henry New, farmer. living about
Ave miles southwest OF Spencerport,
~ Y, had a narrow escape from
death. He had driven out into his
sandpit with the intention OF loading
up with sand TO go TO Churohvllle. As
he was digging in the pit the sand
above him gave way, burying him up
TO the shoulders.
Mr. New made strenuous efforts 10

was unable 10 do so, shouted and
screamed at the top OF his voice In an
attempt TO attract attention. His
daughters. hearing his outcries, i'm
medlately rushed In the direction of
the sandpit. The girls were equal TO
the occasion and at once seized
shoyels and dug the sand away from
their father AS he was unable TO
move they tenderly carried him to the
house.
