THEY JEST LATED"
Reception of News Of Appointment by
Cabinet Officers Old Neighbors.

Postmaster General Payne tells a story
today about an old friend of his who used
to be Attorney General of the United States
ten Or fifteen years ago. After he had been
in office a few months his heart warmed to-
ward the place OF his nativity. an obscure
little town that nestles In the hills of New
England He had not visited the town for
many years and he longed to see again the
people and the place.
So he took a week of from his cabinet
duties and hied himself to the railroad sta
ton. The next day he landed at the depot
Of the little village where he had first seen
the light of day. He drove to the village
store. hitched his team outside and going
within joined the group of villagers that at
all times day and night, cluster about the
center of the store.
They met him pleasantly but none recog-
nized him. He made numerous inquiries
about those whom he had known as play
mates and about the people generally OF
the day when he was part and parcel of
the community in a very dimnutive way.
Some of those about whom he inquired had
gone to other towns or states. Some had
passed into the great hereafter.
Finally he shifted one leg over the other
and In an innocent sort Of way asked them
If they remembered a tow-headed boy
name -. and he mentioned his own
name.
Yes" several of them said. they had re-
membered the lad.
Then he asked IL 1t was true that that boy
(meaning himselD had gone to Washington.
They replied affirmatively and added that
the young fellow had since become Attor-
ney General of the United States.
What did the people here say about him
when they heard of that appointment" he
asked
One of the old farmers shifted his quid of
tobacco from one side of his mouth to the
other and drawled: Say? Oh, they didn't
say nawthin'. They Jest lated"

PUZZLED THE OFFICIALS.
What Direction to Put on the Postal
Cards.

CarQS.
eft is interesting to note the numerous
ways in which a person may express the
same thought" said Francis II. Whitney.
private secretary to Postmaster General
Payne, yesterday. land in this connection
1t may be recalled that the post office au-
thorities found a great deal of trouble a
few years ago in prescribing the proper
sentence to be used on the face of a postal
card to inform the user that he must in
scribe nothing but the address on that side.
Seven attempts were made before the pres
emit phrase was adopted.
"One of the earliest cards was made to
bear the sign Nothing but the address can
be written on this side which was untrue.
as many persons could write more If they
so desired. Shortly afterward 1t was
changed SO as to say: Nothing but the adj
dress is to be placed on this side,' which
was more sensible. but was clumsy and
soon discarded. The next issue of the cards
were inscribed The address only to be
written on this side,' which it was soon
seen could easily be construed to bar the
use Of a typewriter. The same objection
could be raised to Write only the address
on this side
FINALLY the authorities got historical
and the next issue of the cards informed
the user that he should Write the ad-
dress only on this side, the message on the
other which was not only clumsy but am
biguous, and conveying a wrong meaning
as the officials really. down in their hearts,
had no objection to person writing the ad-
dress on both sides of the card. Later the
word only was dropped, but without much
Improvement. 1t was finally decided that
there was no use in trying to be original
and SO they fashioned the phrase which is
now in use after the one used on the postal
cards issued by the British government
Our English cousins say The space below
Is for the address only and Uncle Sam
has This side is for the address only.'''

AN OMNIBUS SIGN.
Method of Warning People Against
Possible Downfall,

Possible Downfall.
There is new sign hanging out of
door in the patent office building. It is
novelty as an official notice put in its place
by formal act of a big department of the
government, and in pedigree book it prob
ably would rank a cross between the
danger signs that warn people on the
streets away from the concrete rollers and
the Lookout for locomotive signs at rail-
way crossings.
Way down in what might be called the
subterranean depths of the building in
which a large part Of the Interior Depart
ment effects are located is a room which
is lower by several feet than the floor of
the corridor with which 1t connects. The
latter was hybrid idea. perhaps. but it's
a condition and not a theory, and that diff
ference between the two floors had to be
guarded against
To save the unwary from taking an In
voluntary plunge for that distance, with
possible hospital results, the department
has hitched to the door this flaming placard: :
Look before you leap!"

the aboriginal tribes of the Philip
pines. An unusual mixing of races has
taken place in Mindanao and intermar-
riage has left comparatively few pure
blooded Negritos.
The genuine Negrito is very small of
stature. He measures about four feet
six inches. His features resemble the
negro. His people are timid, quiet and
affectionate, and by nature given to
wandering about from place to place.
Where they have come in contact with
the Malay tribes, however, they have
adopted the habits and customs of
these sturdier and more warlike races.
The Negrito's weapons are a bam-
boo lance and a palm wood bow with
poisoned arrows. The Negrno's legs
are described as being without calves
and his feet as turning inward; yet he
runs with great speed after deer and
rivals the monkey in climbing trees.
1t would be almost impossible to con-
ceive of an union more curious than
that of pure blood Negrito and typi-
cal Moro. For hundreds of years the
Moro has inhabited the islands of the
Sulu archipelago, including northern
Borneo and southern Mindanao. He
has never been anything better than
pirate and murderer During his
long reign of terror in those parts his
race has become extremely mixed. For
centuries the Malay pirates have filed
their harems with women from every
tribe or race with which they have
come in contact from the various tribes
of Malaysia to the Europeans. Their re-
igion is a mixture Of Mohammedanism
and primitive savagery than which no
form of fanaticism could be worse.
Their weapons include the notorious
barong, campilan and kriss, which in
Moro hands are the most dangerous
war knives known, and which are dex-
terously welded by them in behalf of

Juramentados have not sslet themselves
loose" on the American soldiers is be-
cause they do not look upon them as
christians. They differ so greatly
from the Spaniards and show such dis
regard of the things which the Span
lards considered sacred that they are
placed in a class by themselves as peo-
pie whom there is no advantage in kill
ing. Probably the strict dealings of
Gen. Arolos with the sultans and datos
whom he msde accountable for the
acts of Juramentados was really re-
sponsible for the stamping out of the
practice.
Although the Moros of Mindanao
recognize the sovereignty of the sultan
of Sulu they are ruled directly by a
sultan of their own who is assisted by
several datos. Their relation to our
government is curious. The United
States pays the sultan of Sulu $3.50
month and lesser salaries to his adj
vlsers, secretary and the keepers of the
royal harem. The United States agrees
TO existing social conditions, including
polygamy and slave holding, with the
reservation that each slave NAV mr.
chase his freedom for $40, payable to
the crown. The Moros of Sulu are not
real American citizens The United
States simply pays the sultan to s.be
good; but the Moros of Mindanao
are polygamous, slave holding Ameri-
can citizens who declare themselves
subjects of the sultan of Sulu. How
ever, recent dispatches affirm that
Capt. Pershing's victories will proba bly
result In making the Mindanao Moros
acknowledge American authority.

like raZors and in spite of the fact that
conveniences for working steel are SIM
pie, the Moro produces blades that are
highly tempered and beautifully fin
ished.
Apparently the Moro has no regard
whatever for human Life. He believes
that every Christian he kills will ad-
vance him a step in paradise. Death
has no terrors for him. Indeed he be-
ieves that if he is fortunate enough to
be killed while slaughtering the ene-
mics of his faith he reaches seventh
heaven at bound. Sometimes, when
a Moro becomes tired of life he goes
before priest and takes formidable
oath to die killing Christians Further
more, the Sulu law provides that when
man becomes bankrupt his family
may be placed in slavery, but he may
release them by entering into a COM
pact to die killing Christians The
priest to whom he applies subjects him,
says one writer, ''to a system of en-
thusiastic excitement that turns him
into wild beast of the worst kind"

tations and barbaric chants in the dark
forest is ended, the applicant has be-

his own death can end his work of de-
struction.

commander who ever succeeded in

measures. The reason, it is said, why

Shipping Mistresses,

She was tailor-gowned and trim.
With splendid little Ayredale ter
fler running a chains length ahead
of her she made one of the most at
tractive sights of the poodle parade
on Fifth avenue one morning lately.
10 see the poodle parade one must
be astir on New York's most popular
thoroughfare soon after the sun
has taken the chill off the morning.
Laggards miss it, says the New York
Times.
A stoutish little woman who was
virtually being towed down the ave-
nue. by big Newfoundland stopped
the tailor-gowned maid. There is a
spirit of fraternity among women
who turn out at the poodle parade.
as there is among men at a baseball
game, which permits of speaking
without the formality of an introduc-
ton.
What lovely little terrier!" said
the stoutish woman. ''Where did you
buy it? Abroad? Oh, you little dear!"
taking Mr.. AYRSHIRE in her arms and
bestowing a kiss on his tiny black
nose, while the Newfoundland tugged
at his chain in disgust.
''It is not mine," replied the tailor
gowned miss. in the sweetest of
tones. "Midge is for sale. By calling
at this address you may arrange with
the owner about the price" She
handed out the card of a well-known
fancier's store.
The stoutish woman said something
like "Ghlang!" to the Newfoundland
and was towed on her way down the
avenue. "Well, upon my word!" she
exclaimed, to the first acquaintance
she met, eff that doesn't beat me!
remember seeing her the other morn
ing with Great Dane, rather a rest
less one, too, and the way she handled
him made me think she knew some

One sees almost every variety of
dog, many of them decorated with rib
bons and trinkets in the most barbar-
Gus fashion, in the daily poodle parade
on Fifth avenue. A healthy dog, like
healthy man, needs to exercise his legs.
A carSiage ride through the park in the
afternoon with his adoring mistress is
not sufficient. He must be taken for
his morning walk.
If he is family dog, this task usual
ly falls tothe athletic girl of the house
hold, who enjoys the walk as much as
the dog does. She meets her friends at
places where their dogships have their
hair cut and are otherwise trimmed up
so as to be presenta BILE to the world of

The man who finds it necessary to

well adopt a pleasant as an unpleasant

through explosive speech, and this need
be neither vulgar nor profane; it need
have no reference to present material
conditions or future spiritual state:
the one essential is that it shall be ex.
plosive. Why not, then, use the usmes
of flowers and other beautiful objects
instead of words and phrases offensive
alike to decorum and to good taste :
Why not deal in analogies which are
artistic in their implications? The man
SO unfortunate as to hit his thumb with
hammer might, for example, ex-
claim: "Roses and violets!" Doubt
