The tribe that attracts the most attention is
the Igorot, because they have built settlement
here, surrounded it with bamboo fence and
charge rs cents admission to see how they live
in their own country. Some of the men are
girded about their loins and wear only head
gear. These people, it is said. objected to being
dressed up and threw their clothes out the car
window after leaving San Francisco. The ma
tive houses are built of bamboo with grass roofs.
Some are built up trees and all mostly up of the
ground. A quartet (hoteD accommodates those
who dress American fashion, with high collars
and white cuffs. They have also very fine
brass band of IS pieces ard they play our national
airs every afternoon.
The Macabebee camp is large, the total num-
Der on the ground being about 500. There is a
building devoted to the work of the women. A
very large agricultural building shows their
farm implements, mostly made of wood, canned
goods. Manila hemp and rope and all the yari-
GUS agricultural products. This is q very in
teresting exhibit. An art building shows pic
lures and stereopticon exhibit o. the islands.
Fish and game arc shown in another building.
There is also hospital and armory. A day
could well be spent in examining these various
exhibits, and then you would not have seen them
all in detail. The location is close by the west
side of Agricultural Building On Arrowhead
Lake are boats brought from the Philippine
islands. Among the photographs of their home
life is picture of school children, now under
Uncle Sans charge, dressed something like our
own children. l suppose this opens up new
field for our manufacturers and our wool and
cotton trade that will not hurt the children.
The school children of East st. Louis are to
have big time of it next Saturday, when LOO
of them are to give a concert in Festival Hall,
which will be free to the public.
Maryland Building is completed and ready for
you and will be dedicated tomorrow. 1t will be
formally accepted by President Francis at that
time and on Thursday public reception will be
held.

LINCoLN's GETTYSBURG speech is one of the
great English classics, and is not likely to be
IN TeEV0f or lofty emotion by any succeeding
orator. President Roosevelt alluded to this in
his admirable and earnest address on the great
battlefield on the Both of May. He took the
same lofty ideals of patriotism and duty Lin.
coin did. In fact, text and substance of the
Presidents Grafton were from the words of
the martyr, viz: ut is for us the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced. 1t is rather for US to
be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of DEVOTION
that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain that this nation,
under God, shall have new birth of freedom;
and that Government of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not perish from
the EARTH" These words should be inscribed
on every American soul and conscience. The
school boy should know them by heart.
Every orator should repeat them ON patriotic
days. They should be as familiar to the null
.itude as the Lords prayer, for in them are
he solemn recognition of Gods help and the |
Inspiration of religious patriotism.

Welcome to poor old Mr. Buchanan-tossed |
about in pathetic helplessness and bewilder-
nent on the hurrying rapids. We feel pretty |
afe in speaking of Mr.. Buchanan as the ex-
,eption to the rule, however. We invite any |
eader who may think otherwise to make for
himself list of the one-term Presidents who,
n his judgment, has left the White House
without regret-pleased TO become private
itizens again" Although Jefferson spoke Of
he Presidency before he held the office as "a
plendid misery" yet he was anxious to have
second term of that same misery. The Pres
dency is no sinecure. 1t means hard work
nd worriment, but it is splendid Office, now
he greatest in the world. But everyone en-
oys himself in the place, and so Cleveland,
harrison, Arthur, Grant and all the others
rho have had a taste of the place wanted an
ther term.
