THE LAST STRETCH
One Hundred Machines Leave Chicago
On Long Run to st.
Louis.

Chicago, Aug. S.-With 100 autOmO-
biles primed for the start and with
half as many manufacturers showing
extraordinary interest in the run, the
cavalcade OF selfpropellers started
from Chicago for St. Louis this morn
ing at 9 o'clock. There were 40 motor
cars from eastern and other cities in
the caravan. and the rest of the num-
Der were Chicago machines. For the
fasteners it is virtually the last long
lap in a 1,400-mile journey; for the
motorists from Chicago. Milwaukee, St.
Paul and Cedar Rapids it is the start
OF a magnificent run from one great
city to another 300 miles distant. Per
haps never before in the brief history
of American automobiling has such a
cavalcade assembled to get away on a
protracted jaunt.

The first automobile races ever

DIET OF FlLIPlNOS
Low Record In the Price OF Living is

WEEKS FOOD FOR 40 s4.44
Members of Samal Moro Tribe at the
Worlds Fair Live on About II
Cents a Week.

The Filipinos ut the St. Louis world
fair have made new record in cheap
living, according to the official reports
Of Captain NJ c. Butler. the army Off
Ger in charge Of the cOmmissary sup
plies of the little brown men, says
the New York World. They have
beaten Edward Atkinson's scheme of
living on 10 cents n day all hollow.
Some of them have actually been liv-
ing on q fraction over Il cent and a
half q day. This is the official figure.
Captain Butler reports that for one
week the food supply of the entire
forty Samal Moros in the Moro village
cost only Sill
These Samal Moros are the blue rib
bon tribe for cheap living. The 9th
ers are not far behind, however. and
the reports of Captain Butler show
that for one week the cost of living Of
these little chaps was only Il little
more than seven cents a day.
There are about 600 FiIipinos at the
fair, and. though they eat everything
from dog to sailed ciscoes and smoke
Pittsburg stogies, they cost the gov
eminent but little more than $50 a
week.
Are Divided Into Villages.
The t1lip1nos are divided into vii
lagos, and their style of living i'll the
various villages differs as widely as the
habits of two different natlonalities.
With the exception of the constabulary
and the inhabitants of the Nisayan
village, the Filipinos here are all of the
lower and SemiSavage type. The Ne
CRITICS. for example, are the abOrigineS
of the islands and the lowest type in
intelligence and physique. They live
in the mountains, without houses, and
eat roots aud herbs and such game as
they can kill. They are about the
most expensive of the Filipinos here.
There are thirty-eight of them, and
Captain Buffers report for one week
shows that they cost S3OSS, another
week only $2T.66, and still another
week only $21.33.
The constabulary. who are made up
of the most civilized of the Filipinos.
cost but little more. There are $50 of
them.
The Igorrotes are the dog eaters.
Twenty dogs a week are bought for
them, and this is their greatest deli
cacy. The women among them do not
eat dog, however. the custom being
confined to the men, who have u tradi-
ton that eating dog makes them fierce
and warlike. The better fighter the
dog is the better food he makes, in
their estimation.
SamaI MOrOs Are Cheapest Livcrs.
The Samal MorOs, who are the cheap
est livers, do not eat any meat. They
live chiefly on rice, which they cook
themselves. Being Mohammedans they
will eat nothing that is cooked by
Americans. Hard bread, rice and
chewing tobacco are the chief items on
their bill of fare.
One of Captain Buffers weekly de-
tailed reports will give an idea OF how
different villages of Fflipinos live and
how much it costs Uncle Sam. The fol-
lowing is for the week ended June IL:

THE JUGGERNAUT MYTH.-Only two
towns in India are more sacred than
Muttra. One is Benares and the 9TH
er is Jagernath, or Juggernaut, which
Is about $50 miles south Of Calcutta
on the shore Of the Bay OF Bengal.
There is the great idol which we have
all heard about from the missionaries,
but regret to say that there has been
a good deal Of Misrepresentation and
exaggeration. When I was a boy
read in Sunday school books the most
heart tearing tales about the poor
heather, who cast themselves down
before the car of Juggernaut and were
crushed to lifeless pulp under Its
monstrous wheels. This story has been
told thousands Of times to millions or
Mortified listeners, but an inquiry into
the fact does not confirm 1t. 1t Is
true that on certain holy days the great
image Of Juggernaut, Jagernath, which
ever way you choose to spell it, and
it weighs many tons, is placed upon a
car and the car is drawn through the
crowded streets by thousands OF pill
grims, who cast flowers, rice, wheat,
palm leaves, bamboo wisps, sweetmeats
and other offerings in its way. Occa-
sionally in the throng that presses
around the image some one Is thrown
down and has the life trampled out OF
him; on several occasions people have
been caught by the wheels or the
frame of the car and crushed, and at
rare intervals some hysterical worship,
er has fallen in a fit Of epilepsy and
been run over, but the official records,
which began in 1918, show only nine
such occurrences during the last eigh-
ty-six years.-Wm. E. Curtis IN Chi-
cago Record Herald.

dining room, with its long mahogany
table, all show evidences of intelligent
tastes that were not developed in one
generation.
Here Judge Parker walks among his
bulls and cows, in top boots and pea
jacket, the incarnation Of strength and
virility. He strides through the sor-
ghum and hay fields, visits the great
barn, tends the sick cow or fondles
the latest calf and helps his men to
clear up the leaves or stubble. His
cheeks glow, his eyes shine, and he
swings his arms like boy, drinking
in great drafts of the pure air or
whistling q merry tune.
None Of his eight farm hands knows
half as much as he does about the
trees, the crops, the cattle, sheep, pigs,
chickens, turkeys or ducks. Whether
in the peach or apple orchard, in the
cow pasture, barn or sty, he is the
master Of all in knowledge as we'll as
in energy. He will ply his pitchfork
or put his shoulder under heavy load
with the best Of them, and it is a good
man who can keep up with him. He
is modest enough, save when he stands
among his great Red Poll cattle, the
pride of his heart. Then he swells
with conscious comradeship, for they
are like him-big, strong and genuine.
There is no finer sight in that part Of
the country than Judge Parker in the
middle of his herd, calling to his great
bulls and laughing as they come to
him.
There are tall silo and cold storage
house, built on the judges plans. In
the storage house are apples, pears,
cider and all manner Of good things to
eat, mostly the product Of Rosemont.
Thrift, orderliness and energetic man.
agement are everywhere in evidence.
In his home the gentle, lovable traits
of the austere chief judge reveal them.
selves. To his wife, the inspiration Of
his mature life, he is always like
boyish lover. To his venerable mother
he is the dutiful son. smiling at her
stern sermons on temperance and hu.
miIity, but proud Of her noble charac-
ter.
He takes his little redheaded grand
son by the hand and swings around
the veranda with him like another
child. He catches up his baby grand
daughter Mary in his arms and dances
up and down the wide hall, whistling
the while. And when his name is
mentioned to her she always purses
her rosy lips and tries to. whistle.

years old lie taught school in coun-
try schoolhouse and established his au-
thority by thrashing the school bully.
Then he taught school at Binghamton.
Presently he was teacher at Accord,
in Ulster county, at So day. He in
tended to 20 to Cornell university and
was saving money for that purpose,
but his fathers necessities drew from
his slender income, and his hopes Of
university course failed. He moved to
Kingston and entered the law office OF
Schoonmaker & Hardenbergh as a
clerk. Then he entered the Albany
Law school, and upon graduating he
returned to Schoonmaker & Harden
bergh. Within q few months he took
q partner named Kenyon and opened
law office ut Kingston.
For twelve years the young lawyer
practiced his profession in Kingston.
He had q good income and Won several
important cases. During that time he
was quite free from the control or in.
fluence of large corporations.
In 1877 he was elected surrogate OF
Ulster county and was afterward elect
ed for q second term. That was his
first experience of public office.
His entrance into politics was due
simply to his love for his old employer,
Judge Schoonmaker, who had been
driven out of politics. He believed that
the Judge had been wronged and yet
out to restore him to popular favor.
So earnest was his campaign that he
soon became q recognized political fac
tor in Ulster county, being a favorite
of Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Manning, who
trusted and consulted him. In 1885 he
was induced to become chairman Of
the Democratic state executive com.
mittee, and in the campaign which he
managed David B. Hill was elected
governor Mr.. Hill appointed him to a
seat on the supreme court bench when
Justice Westbrook died.
HOnors Came EARLY.
When Judge Parker was thirty-three
years old he was unanimously nomi-
mated for the supreme court bench by
the Democrats. The Republicans would
not nominate an opponent. Not vote
was cast against him. He served on
the supreme court bench until his
election as chief judge Of the court of
appeals in 1897 by plurality Of about
10000 votes.
During his nineteen years on the
bench he has ignored politics. In 1896
