A SUCCESSFUL RA1LRoADER.

The Colored American is anxious to
speak from time to time OF the young
men and women Of the race who are
making their way up in the world,
although the duties OF their life is
not in the highest avenues. It takes
every kind Of people to make race,
and the lesson has been learned
long since, that he who does his best
in whatever chosen field he is assigned
to work, does well, and angels cannot
do more. The subject OF this article
is Mr.. Richard Jackson, an attachee
Of the Congressional Limited, of the
York.
Mr.. Jackson has been in the service
OF this Company for more than Is
years, and is regarded as one OF It's
most efficient men. He is popular
with the travelling public and the pat
rons of his line, and he has the conf
dence and respect of the officials. He
is a southern product and was born in
Virginia some thirty odd years age.
Early in life he resolved to do some
thing and 70 bs aoMsb4dy, and tAA4
motto has been his guiding star ever
since
Reared on the farm assisting his
mother and father to improve their
condition in life, he soon became tired
Of the humdrum Of country life. and
longed to take part in the energy
and activity Of the cities, at what
ever labor his hands found to do.
Since his connection with the railroad
he has assisted his father in paying
of the old home debt, and by frugality
and industry, has saved up a neat
bank account for himself.
He is a widoWer, having one daugh-
ter, Miss Beatrice Jackson, whom he Is
educating and giving every opportuni
ty to equip herself for the battle OF
life Mr.. Jackson is a credit to the
race, and will be heard from Ii the
future His father is one Of the best
fixed colored men now in the state Of
Virginia; owning great deal Of
propeoty, much Of which is due to the
assistance Of his son.

NJ BRIDE CHANCE

When the result of last nights Republi-
can primaries was made known, the anti
Mcbride men began to throw their hats
in the air and claim the Pierce county
delegation solid for the railroad lobbyists.
Their claim is based chiefly on the facts
that the slate approved by Stanton War
burton, a leading Mcbride man, failed to
go through, and that w. H. PauhGmus.
a Mcbride lieutenant. lost ont in fierce
fight with c. J.. Stewart at Puyallup.
Mcbride men say that when the CON
vention meets Mcbride stock will be at
par and the other fellows will be clamoring
for a chance to make terms.
They admit that the governor did not
get as many delegates as they might have
had. but claim that the result so far is
anything but a throw down for the
champion of the railroad commission.
Mcbride supporters point to the fact
that the opposition is disorganized and can
not agree on a candidate. So far it has
been anything to beat Mcbride"

The head-hunter is a quarrelsome chap.
He talks all the time and each wants to
boss all the rest. Their quarters are the
noisiest on the grounds.
After his house is built. he puts up a
few strange, grotesquely-twisted wisps of
straw, to keep the demons off, puts his
human heads up on poles where they can
be seen, and he's at home. His arms are
a spear, bolo and club
The Tinganues are as silent as the Igor
rotes are noisy. They build their houses
like those of the Igorrotes, except they use
palm strips for matches instead of hay.
They do not like clothing either, but wear
bamboo hats The Manganese and Massey
ans are similar in customs and appearance.
The Negoritos are the smallest of the
pagan tribes. Few of them are taller than
feet inches. They have curly wool and
are very dark. They resemble diminutive

They cannot stand the cold. so they are

in the overheated rooms of the Quartet
While the men work on the huts or

They have primitive looms for this pur-

HUMAN HEADS STUCK UP ON :
ROOFS IN FILIPINO VILLAGE

ST. LOUIS, May 3-The center of at
traction at the worlds fair is the Filipino
village. Thousands of people visit it daily
just to catch distant glimpse of these
strange people. Few are allowed inside,
but, peering through the bamboo walls of
the village, the visitors get a feeting view
of the natives. And it's well worth wading
three miles of mud to see.
OF course, interest centers in the savage
head-hunting lgorrotes. There are eighty
of these naked brown people here, and of
these thirty are women and children They
are now building their own huts black
smith shops, rice mills, and planting sweet
potatoes and rice.
Their village is rather CHASTITY. About
100 human heads decorate the poles of their
huts and as many steer heads ornament
the gate posts The heads are those of Fill
pinos who fell victims to their prowess
Each skull is polished brightly and glistens
in the sunlight.
An lgorrote warriors prowess is meas
ured by the number of human heads he
possesses. He il counted of no worth in
battle until he has taken one. As a result.
the lgorrote is not popular with his broth
er Filipinos. Many of the Igorrotes have
90 heads The constabulary and Macabee-

CYNTHIA GREY GIVES HER OPINION
ON THE POLITE MARRIED MAN

Polite? Oh, yes, to his betrothed or to
another mans wife, or to his stenographer
or private secretary. But who ever heard
him say Thank you to his own wife!
That is the man of it,
He'll stand on a cold corner with his
hat in his hand for ten minutes talking to
a woman he chances to meet; but how long
does he keep his hat off for his wife?
He will watch the plate of his fair guest
guest and anticipate her every wish; but
how many gances of interest does he cast
to the plate of the little woman who pours
the tea? She has tongue One might
imagine that the guest had no tongue.
He will start out on a shopping tour
with his wife and ride up and down ele-
vators from morning until night and never
think of removing his hat. But let an
other woman enter the car and off comes
the derby with flourish.
He will step by accident on the tip of
damsePs boot and Will profusely apologize.
He tramps on his wife's pet toe, with
perfunctory "Did step on you"
When on a wild rush to catch train
he will stop for five minutes to explain
to some pink-cheeked stranger how stupid
it was of HIM to bump against HER.

SETTLEMENT
IS IN SIGHT

An amable settlement of the di Guilty
at Whitworth college seems to be near
In response to a message from Rev. NJ. A.
Mathews, one of the trustees living in
Seattle, President Gault went to Seattle
last night and had a conference with Rev.
Mathews. President Gault was assured
that a satisfactory settlement would be
reached at the next meeting of the trus-
tees and nothing would be done to injure
the prospects of the college.
At chapel this morning President Gault
addressed the students on the result Of his
visit to Seattle and stated that the mat
ter would be amicably settled next Mon
day. Notwithstanding this assurance, the
students committee will attend the board
meeting in Seattle just to show how the
student body regards the matter.
As a result of the present trouble Pro-
fessor +. G. Workman resigned yesterday
and has left the college.

If turning a corner in his own hall he

that case.
There are two kinds of politeness-the
kind that gives something and the kind
that brings something Mans poIteness
is the kind that brings something, and
that something is the alteration and ad-
miration OF women For, no matter how
much of woman-hater a man may claim
to be, he likes to have the comfortable feel.

they tumble over themselves to please

anything, drag new conquests home, then

cigar, seized it, bit off the end, lighted it

they brought with them. The women

They are industrious and honest, faithful

He plants bamboo poles in the ground and

Some American lumber is being used in
