yALUING AN AMERICAN WOMAN.
Moro Maharajah Appraises the First White
Woman in Borgoa.
(Everybody's Magazine

The arrival of the first American wom-
en- in Bongoa was Il great event for the
Moros, who lined the wharf to watch their
Decentralization. An old Maharajah was
especially interested. Noticing his atten-
ton, the Governor of Bongoa asked the old
fellow what he thought the Quartermas-
ter's wife. a Junoesque lady. should be
worth in dollars and cents. The toothless
old Maharajah took it all quite seriously,
looked at the lady in question with much
discrimination, pulled at his wisp of a
billy-goat beard 4 moment in contemplative
silence, and then replied that he thought
she was worth about a hundred dollars
Mexican. an abnormally large amount, as
Moro women seldom average over $40,
Mexican, apiece.
Then the irrepressible Governor turned
to Mrs. Russell, who is slim and graceful,
asking at what the Maharajah thought
she should be valued. Without mo-
ment's hesitation, the old sinner, to the
lady's chagrin and the uproarious amuse-
ment of the whole party, appraised her at
only $50, Mexican.

THE CALL OF THE WILD.
Mr.. Hamilton w. Mabie Re-
views Jack LOndOn'S
New Novel.

In his new story, "The Call of the Wild"
Jack London has written the romance ofa dogs
life with vigor, insight, and dramatic power
which no other similar tale except ''Bob, Son
of Battle" approaches in interest and literary
quality. The Scotch story depends largely on
the human elements which are mixed with it;
aThe Call of the Wild" centres entirely in
Buck, the great dog who is stolen from ranch
in Southern California, where he is the soul of
fidelity, rewarded by the greatest freedom and
affection; taken to the far north, and made
member of a team of dogs who carry the mail
into the Yukon region. Gradually his character
changes under the pressure of new and hard
conditions. He becomes a leader and master
among his fellows, the older and more savage
instincts reviving in him. In the end, after tho
most adventurous life described with graphic
power, "The Call of the Wild" becomes more
and more distinct and finally masters him, and
he reverts to the savage state in the northern
wilderness. becomes the mate of wolves, and
lives as his ancestors lived centuries before him.
This change from civilization to savagcry is
effected gradually, and is traced, stage by
stage, with dramatic and deepening interest.
The story has deep psychologist interest, and
may be read as striking parable; but it is,
above all, an absorbing tale of wild life, full
of pictorial power and abounding in striking
incidents of frontier town, camp, and adventure.

Booker Il. Washington in August World S
Work.
From the first, the school has sought to
find out the occupation by which the peo-
pie chiefly earn their living. or are likely
to earn it in the future, and then to train
men and women alike to be of service in
these occupations. In the main, those
who go ont o. follow the industry they
have learned. l21 teach in a public or pri-
vate school or teach part of the year and
farm or labor the rest, 90 follow house
keeping or other domestic service, or a.
enter profession or the Government ser
vice or become merchants. Among the
teachers are many who instruct in farm
ing or in some industry; the professional
men are largely physicians; and the pro-
fessional women are mostly trained nurses.
After diligent investigation, | can not
find dozen former students in ideness.
They are busy in SchOolrOom, field, shop,
home or church. They are busy because
they have placed themselves in demand
by learning to do that which the world
wants done, and because they have learn
ed the disgrace of idleness and the sweet
ness of labor. One of the greatest en-
barraSSments that confronts our schools
at the present time is our inability to sup
ply any large proportion of the demands
people of both races, North and South. for
our students. But aside from their skill,
what has made Tuskegee men and women
succeed is the spirit of unselfishness
and n willingness to sacrifice themselves
for others. instilled into them at Tuskegee.
In many cases. while building up n school
in community. they work for months
without any fixed salary or promise of sal
ary, because they have learned that. help
ing some one else is the secret of all hap
piness.
Owing to the demand for those trained
at Tuskegee, it is difficult to keep any
large proportion of students in the school
until they graduate. For this reason it is
not so easy to show the results of the work
in concrete form as it would be if a larger
number of the students finished. But the
fact indicates that the school is achieving
its purpose in preparing its students to do
what the world wants done.

POST OFFICE SCANDAL.
Great Deal of Talk. With Little Actually
New,

The Post Office scandals are now run
ming as Il continued story in the newspa-

but there are no more startling develop
ments. probably because it is impossible

Former PostmasterGe General Smith is
getting the worst of the controversy with
everybody. He ran up against the Civil
Service Commission in his last open let
ter and Commissioner Proctor comes
back at him with a roast that is Il zeal
russet brown. Mr. Proctor in letter to
the PostmasterGeneral, in which he is
replying to Mr.. Smith. says that Mr..
Smith was responsible for most of the ir-
rcgularitics in the Post Office Department.
and says that the postal rolls were loaded
down by either the order of the former
Postmaster General or his quietly ignoring
what those about him were doing in this
line.

caught in the dragnet that Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster-General Bristow has
brought to light:

Auditor Petty, of the District, whose
confidential clerk, Watson, got away with
$4,000 of the District money before Aud
itor Petty began to suspect anything, was
asked TO resign and refused. He said that
TO resign would be a virtual confession
that he had done something wrong, and
he hadn't, and he wouldn't resign so he
wouldn't. and then the Commissioners pro-
ceeded to pry him loose from his $4,000
job. Auditor Petty said it was real mean
TO treat him that way, and he wrote some
letters defending his ignorance and official
actions which deserve TO go down with the
classics for literary merit. He waxed
eloquent, and at the same time waxed ii

thought, acting most brutally toward him.
but the Commissioners had the last guess
and wrote the last letter, which was a Do

now turn his attention to literature.
Nobody believes for single minute that
Auditor Petty ever got cent of the lost
