Seeing Sights
of the Big Fair

At the Worlds Fair, St. Louis. Sept
25.-It was just as we were approach
ing the bridge of Spain that leads to
the walled city of the Philippine reser-
walton that we met him. He wore a
SLOUGH white hat and a face that re-
minded me of the late Sol Smith Rus
sell. He was tall, angular and gaunt,
and his wife, a patient, meek little
body, trudged along after him. 1t was
clear that she was only an appendix
and not even a vermiform at that, for
she was no trouble-maker. He had
tried it on several of the uniformed
young gentlemen known as Jefferson
guards, but got no satisfaction, and SO,
perceiving what he mistoOk for a look
of intelligence upon our faces, he in
quired:
Can you tell me where the gondola
cage is?"
Man-like. John began fumbling the
leaves of his official guide" to locate
the gondola cage, but with a woman's
sympathetic intuition l quickly perceiv-
ed that the old man from Arkansas
had been imposed upon, and l said:
NO; there is no such thing on the
grounds as a gOndola cage
Whereupon a look of sadness came
over his features as he said:
Awful sorry to hear that, sir. We
have a couple of rabbits at home and
promised the boys | would get them
male and female gondola if they
could be found
And he was from New York state
not Arkansas!
Having shifted the smoke of the
Boer war it was hard to get John in
teTested in the meek and docile Fill
Pine, although Jane. who had heard of
their fondness for dog meat and of
their great aversion to clothing, was
crazy to see them. And so peace tri-
umphed over war. The Philippine res
ervation is a great exposition in itself
worth coming thousands of miles to
see II cost over a million dollars
embraces 10000 exhibits and covers
tract of AZ acres. More than LOO ma
tive Filipinos are gathered in villages
in bamboo huts built by their own
hands, all illustrating the employments,
diversions and social customs which
they follow in their native land. The
reservation is a combination of wood
ed hills. valleys and lakes and is i'm
pressively picturesque.
AS we entered the Visayan village
we saw a Filipino boy astride a water
buffalo," called by the natives TINA
rao." riding toward us, and the meas
ured ding-dang-dong of many tom-tOms
fell upon our ears. The Filipino loves
his tom-tom. He will beat it all day
long. There are several varieties of
this instrument running from the deep
sounding copper kettle-shaped drum TO
the wooden key with skin stretched
over the head. There are groups of
these tom-tom players all over the res
ervation scattered through the five
villages Of the Visayans. MOros, Bago-
Dos, Negritos and Igorrote.
The Filipino is musical clean through.

RAILWAY NEWS.

Burlington operating officials have
tested the electric gasoline motor car
which they hope to be able to use in
stead of steam locomotives on branch
lines and in the suburban business in
and out of Chicago. A trial run was
made from Aurora to Chicago and re-
turn, the test proving that several i'm
provements will be necessary if
the motor is to Supplant steam
even on branch lines. The Off
cials. however, believe that the difficult
ties eventually viii be overcome. The
trial was made with the motor car and
two trailers. and at times a speed of
about thirty miles an hour was at
tanned. 1t is concluded, therefore, that
in matter Of speed the new motor will
meet the requirements of branch lines
and suburban service. The motor pos
sesses 225-horse power and is opera
ted by electricity which is generated
by a gasoline engine, which, although
of improved pattern, did not work sat
isfactorily. Another difficulty was the
vibration caused by two large fly
wheels with which the motor car is
equipped.

Leap high through big balloons,

Discourses lively tunes;

Who cracks familiar jokes,
And gets off on the ringmaster
In turn each well-worn hoax.

With camels and with elephants,
And curious things galore,

The yawning lions den,
T he ponies and the monkeys too.

Of Interest to Thin. Weak People.

1t is perfectly understood by every
sick man or woman that if they can get
some remedy that will stop the gradual
loss of flesh and strength, their recovery
is assured. People that are nervous and
unsteady, have dizzy spells, with weak
ened memory, and loss of ambition.
their blood is thin and watery. It shows
in their sallow complexion and tired
manner, soon as they commence to gain
flesh they look better and sleep better.
To gain from i to 3 lbs. of good solid
flesh per week, the blood must be made
rich and pure. DIR. Gums Blood and
Nerve Tonic puts in the body the very
pith of what makes pure rich blood in
the most direct way, and cures disease
by making strength. This Tonic is in
tablet form, to be taken right after
meals. 1t enriches the blood, making
force where there was faintness For
women's weakness a better remedy was
never made. Sold by all druggists for
75c per box, or three boxes for 81, or
sent by mail. Write us about your
case. Address. DIR. Bosanko Co.. Phila-

Bound Over Under Bonds.

Jesse Rowley was bound over by JUS

having obtained money under false pre-
tense. He is said to have represented
to a couple of young men from the
Sound that he had Job for them herd
ing sheep in the mountains at $40 a
month. On the strength of this job
which depended upon the arrival of a
brother from eastern Washington who
was expected daily the defendant Row
ley borrowed small sums of money from
the young men. They finally decided
they were being fieeced and brought
suit against Rowley for securing mon
ey under false pretense.
