TOWN OF MoGoTE.
Will Be Built Six Miles Above Point
Isabel On Laguna Madre.

A new town site enterprise which
will be a factor in the development
of this region has been projected
by John S. Chairman, the well
known stockn1an and owner of the
Santa Isabel ranch which lies be-
tween Brownsville and Point Isabel.
The new town will be named Mo
cote, and it will be situated about
six miles above Point Isabel.
A map of the projected town
which has been filed at the county
court house by Mr.. Chairman
shows that Mogote has been laid
off with much care and will be a
model town when built. The 1oca-
ton will be an ideal sport for
summer resort. The cool Gulf
breezes, salt water bathing and
abundant supply of fish and oys-
tiers at all seasons will make it one
of the most popular summer homes
on the Texas coast,
An important enterprise already
projected to be located at Mogote,
is a large canning factory and cold
storage plant which will be estab-
lished by Charles Champion, the
enterprising merchant and capital
ist of Point Isabel.

cUBANs YET UNFRIENDLY.
Government Official Reports Result
of Observations Made on a
Recent Visit.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor returned to Washington recently
from a trip to Cuba He says that the
natives still entertain a dislike for the
people of this country.
1.-The native Cubans do not" he said,
"seem very friendly toward us, while
the Spaniards are especially friendly
Of course, I do not refer to Cuban off,
Gals, but to the people, who seem to en-
terrain some sort of a fear that it is
the intention, at no remote date, OF this
country to annex Cuba, and that Ameri-
can enterprise and capital will come in
and dominate affairs to the detriment
of the interests of Cuban residents. This
feeling undoubtedly Will be allayed as
time goes on.
Cuba was pleasant disappointment
tome. The city of Havana is kept scrupu-
lousy clean. Ihaveneyer seen an Amer
lean city where the streets and alleys
were cleaner than in Havana, thanks 10
Gen. Wood and others. The country out
side the city of Havana is quite pic
turesQue, and surprisingly fertile. There
are forests of sugar cane and vast to-
bacco plantations and cOcoanHt groves.
and pineapple orchards without mum tsr.
The city of Havana is notably lacking il
hotel accommodations There are
numerous hotels there. buc they are not
up to a proper standard, and prices are
extra high.
The first general election was held
one Sunday while l was there, and passed
OF quietly, somewhat to the surprise Ct
the officials There had been anticipa-'
ton of some rioting in various prov-
inces, but good order generally prevailed
and the people acquiesced in the results

THE BIRDS OF HAWAII.
Development Of Country's Resources
Driving Them Back Into Noun
tain Wilderness.

From some Of the open pastures rises
the song Of the skylark, which was i'm
ported from New Zealand: skylarks
increase in number, but not very quick
ly. The voice of the Chinese turtle-dove
the mourning dove, it is called-is
heard in the land quite near to the valley
homes; also the upward whirr of the
Monaghan and the japanese pheasant
writes ]. A. Owen, in Blackwood's
Grouse and quail-the Californian val
ley quail-were there until lately; but
the latter have now betaken themselves
to heights of 5000 to 1000 feet, whittier
the marauding mongoose cannot follow
them. 1 asked young niece of my OVID
who lately left Honolulu what birds Wis
tied their grounds three miles up the
valley road, and she tells me, Java
sparrows, rice-birds, and those squawk-
ing mynahs. The last eat up all our
young figs and grapes, unless we throw
the tennis nets over them. The natives
call the mynah manu- al pilau-that is
bird who eats filth" He does some
good, then, as we'll as Ill.
That watching of birds which is es-
sential to knowledge of their life his
tory has indeed been impossible to most
visitors of Hawaii. And now that an
nexation is giving an impetus to the de-
velopment of the country's resources
the inevitable destruction of its forests
even if the birds themselves do not per-
ish with the trees that sheltered and fed
them, is driving them up to still more
inaccessible heights and wooded depths
between the sharp volcanic peaks, which
will battle the hardest climber.

His Blessing.

A young man, at the risk of his
life, saved a beautiful young girl
from drowning. Her grateful father
seized the rescuer of his daughter by
the hand and with voice tremulous
with emotion, said: ''Noble youth, to
you I am indebted for everything
that makes life dear to me. Which
reward will you ta<e-S4O,0O0 or the
hand of my daughter?'
"I'n take the daughter" replied the
heroic rescuer, thinking thereby to
get both the girl and the money.
"You have well chosen" replied the
grateful father. 81 could not have
given you the $4,000 just yet, any
how, as am a poor editor, but my
daughter is yours for life. Take her
and be happy. Heaven bless you, my
children.-N. Y. Times.

UNDESIRABLE AMERICANS.
Eternal Summer in Philippines At.
tracts Many Of Vagrant
Tendencies.

The attempt to rid Manila and the
surrounding country of those Ameri-
cans who have no visible means of sup
port is commendable, but the upde-
sirables have not all been shipped to the
home country, says the Manila Times
Many, realizing that it is easier to for
age in a country Of eternal summer
than to take chances where shelter and
warm clothing are indispensable part
Of the time, have scattered throughout
the provinces OF Luzon, and are now
infesting the various pueblos. 1t has
reached point in the province of AL
bay where roundup would appear tc
be indispensable. Honest Americans
are continually Inundated by the pres
ence of this class of their countrymen,
and the respect that right-minded
Americans deserve is greatly lowered
The worthless native is bad enough
IN the Philippines, but a vagrant Amer
lean is ten times worse, and is that
much more harmful to the cause of the
United States in the islands.
Let the vagrant American be shipped
to the United States, where ample Jail
and police facilities stand ready to
greet him. He can do. comparatively
little damage there; here he can do a
great deal.

HOLD TO BARBARIc UsAoEs
Singular Decorations of Figures IN
Churches and Cemeteries In
the Philippines.

"One of the great curiosities to Amer
leans who first visit the Philippines,
said an army officer, reports the Wash
ington Star, who has just returned after
a three-years' detail in the archipelago
lis the method of decoration used in the
churches and cemeteries, especially in
the matter of the statues of Christ and
the virgin. Almost all the statues ofthe
Saviour in countries whose population
is dark-skinned are of an Ethiopian hue,
and bear the facial characteristics OF the
natives 1t would never do to depict
Filipino Christ as white man, for the
reason that the natives would not Under
stand or respect it as highly as they
would a Divine leader of their own race
And it follows that the mother of Christ
must also be a black, or at least Of 8 dark
hue.
But one of the funniest things that
ever caught my eye was statue IN 2
cemetery in Luzon. There was glass
case as high as man and perhaps fouI
feet square placed in a prominent part
of the city of the dead that caught ano
held the eye. Upon closer inspection
the case was seen to contain statue OF
a woman. She was gowned in the most
elaborate fashion known to the Filipino
dressmaker, and a modern hat OF the
Gainsboro type was set jauntily over
her ear, the broad brim falling away Ia
a dashing style from her left eye. The
hat was the most attractive feature OF
the whole thing, being really stylish
creation, copied, without doubt, from
some fashion book of New York styles,
At the foot of this wonderful statue
were representations of many OF the
animals of the Philippine forest all COM
ing up to worship it. and as curiosity
it had no competitor in the entire island
But the officers and soldiers of the army
who were in the neighborhood, and who
went to see it, were at loss to under
stand its meaning until a padre Came 10
the rescue. He explained that it was
a statue of the Virgin Mary, and the con-
sternation of the Catholic soldiers may
be imagined when they looked upon
what they thought TO be a dissertation
of sacred subject.
'The padre, however, soon quelled
their anger by explaining to them that
the Filipino wanted as much decoration
for his religious subjects as he could get.
and that he would not appreciate statue
of the virgin clad in the garments that
are familiar to US as the raiment OF
purity. He demanded more than sim
pie garment wound about the form, and
the priests had to respond 10 the demand
in order to have their teachings COM
mand respect. The customary garb Of
the virgin is too much like that worn By
| the natives to appeal to them. and they
would not readily admit the superiority
Of hoin xxyhn NJ
| elaborate than their own. So it is as
much custom of the country to dress
| the virgini in fine raiment as tits to paint
| the face and body of the Christ to CORE
spond with the hue which is familiar TO
the natives; and 1 have heard of several
other cases where statues of the virgin
are finished in the very latest creations
of the modiste's and milliner's art"

SOMETHING GOLD CANNOT BUY
KANSAS

There is something far better than
wealth,
Which men strive for and hoard till
they die;
For the life that is blessed with good
health
Wears crown that no riches can buy;
And the mind of contentment and ease,
Neither harassed by trouble nor care,
Has rest in it's haven of peace,
All unknown to the proud millionaire
There is that which the world with its
gold,
With its grandeur. and glory and might,
Is unable to give or withhold,
For it's pains do it's pleasures all blight.
The good heart that is filled with pure
love,
And that feels for another's deep woe,
Has the source of it's joy from above,
fount that never ceases to flow.
Better than wealth is the mind that
scars,
And delights in it's search for truth;
That all the wide range of knowledge
explores,
AS a help and example to youth.
The mines that yield US jewels most rare
Are devoid of a gem the most pure.
And virtue set In her graces all fair,
Is jewel alone to endure.
There Is something far better than gold,
That will rival the most precious stone,
A conscience correct is of value untold,
A compass that will guide to the throne.
II we list to It's dictates of right,
We can face the unknown without fear;
And the angel of death, in his might,
VIII cause not sigh nor tear.

with its sickening flicker. Gradu--
ally this became more intense Then
there was glare as if the universe
had burst into fame. The hills
seemed to rock in the explosion
which followed. Those who - grow
frightened at the puny manifesto
tons OF nature in a northern thun-
derstorm. cannot afford to cavil at
an apparent .extravagance of lam

AS night came on the storm in
creased in fury. They gave Vim
cent and Pence up as lost, and never
expected to see them alive again.
All night long they crouched under
the ledge of rock; wet and hungry
and sad at heart. The crash of fall
ing timber, the rumble of tumbling
rocks, the incessant reverberation of
thunder, the flashing of the rain, and
| the spectacle of a sky afiame with
writhing skein of lightning made an
impression ON their minds never to
be effaced.
But at five o'clock there was a
lull in the storm. There was faint
CLEAN of the dawn of day. Nature
| mustered her forces for one more
| terrific blast. When exhausted, the
light broke through the clouds. AS
| by magic the hurricane was over.
The wind died to refreshing
| breeze. OF a sudden, the foliage on
| the ridges across the bay was radI-
! ant with sunshine.
| Sidney and Mr.. Kent came from
behind the sheltering rock. They pre-
scented a sorry sight. Their duck
| suits were streaked with mud and
their faces tense and drawn by ex-
| element and lack of sleep. They
washed their hands and faces in the
lake, and then climbed the ridge,
where they obtained an unbrol1en
view of the bay. To their delight
they saw the figures of four men
on the stone pier. Sidney waved his
hat and was greeted by an answer
ing signal. The people of the bunga-
| low shouted across the water, and
Sidney and Mr.. Kent yelled in re-
| turn. Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Carmody- and
his companions speedily built and
launched new raft and were soon
| rowing to the relief of the missing
| ones.
"Where are Pence and Vincent? ~
shouted Mr.. Morton, as the raft
neared the shore.
'"They did not return" said Sid
ney. ST am afraid they were lost in
the Storm
| Sidney would not listen to the
proposition that he return with Mr.
Kent to the bungalow. Though wet
and hungry, he joined Mr.. Morton
and plunged into the forest to find
the missing men, dead or alive. He
was glad to learn that the bungalow
had survived the hurricane with
small damage, and that none of the
occupants were injured.
