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

The attempt to rid Manila and tie surrounding country of those Ameri- cans who have no visible means of SUD- port Is commendable, but the unde- sirables have not all been shipped to the home country, says the Manila Times. Many, realizing that it is easier to for age in 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 nfesting the various pueblos. It has reached 8 point in the province of AL bay where a roundup would appear to be indispensable. Honest Americans are continually humiliated 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 vagrant Amer fcan 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 70 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 great deal.

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 im- ported from New Zealand: skylarks increase in number, but not very quick 1y. The voice of the Chinese turtIe-dove the mourning dove, it is called-is heard in the land quite near to the valley homes; also the upward whirr of the Mongolian and the Japanese pheasant, writes J. 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 ' ,000 feet, whither the marauding mongoose cannot follow them. asked a young niece of my own who lately left Honolulu what birds vis- ited their grounds three miles up the valley road, and she tells me, "Jaya sparrows, rice-birds, and those squawlx- 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 ai pilau-that Is, bird who eats filth. He does some good, then, as we'll as i'll.
 That watching of birds which is es- sential to a 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 it's 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 baf1e the hardest climber

gasped MT. Rowser as his face turned almost purple and his eyes hung out
 Certainly I do. Do you remember in what condition you came home the last night you were out?''
 Woman, no man on the face of this earth would dare talk to me as you do! It is true that the people called upon me last year to lead them, and it is true that-that'-
 ''That you did not lead them.'
 "That I was ready to, but for the sake of harmony in the party l drew back and decided to wait till another campaign. How dare you assert that I was made a guy of! How dare you assert that was dropped with a thud!"

TEETH MADE OF GOLD COIN.
American Soldiers Valuable Molara Made by Filipino Dentist from
 Twenty Dollar Piece.

A recently returned soldier from the Philippines has, according to the New York Times, excited the curiosity of well-known New York dentist by set of five false teeth made of hammered gold in one piece. He wears them in the right side of his mouth. They were made in the Philippine islands while Linkey was in active service during the recent war.
 I was private in the Thirty-fourth United States volunteers said MT. Linkey, 'and when we started out, com pany K, of which was member had dentist, but he died outside Manila while we were on long and laborious hike We garrisoned the town of Aliaga, and caught cold one night. That settled in my teeth. On the night of the day they bothered me most our native guide gave us warning that there would be sur. prise party We were up and ready Upon the first intimation of the approach of the little brownies we rushed at lem, and I got the butt of gun in the jaw. The jolt knocked out five teeth.
 Being in Aliaga for more than year, formed a friendship with one Claron Domenico, a very bright and industrious native. He noticed the gap every time I opened my jaws. and volunteered to make some teeth for me on condition that give him a $20 gold piece. com piled. He took the measure and made crude mold with some native gum-it may have been gutta percha- and after five days he fitted this set of teeth.
 T marveled at the mans skill, and asked him about himself. He said that he had learned the art in England, and believed that he was a better dentist than any one living. When 1t became known to the boys that there was tooth artist in the town he got such rush of business that he could scarcelysattend to it. He showed us some specimens of teeth in which he had set precious stones. My teeth are perfect in it, and can remove them or leave them in my mouth all the time with ease Claron would not let me pay for them, insisting that it was a pleasure for him to make me happy and that the $20. gold piece which he had hammered into molars was enough for any soldier to miss from his pocket in those times of want.''

 "In other words, you are going to fuss around with politics again."
 Your language is very ambiguous, madam" he stif1y replied. 1T do not understand what you mean by fussing with politics. '
 'Why, you have gone into politics three or four times and had a lot of red nosed loafers hanging around, and and
 ''That will do Mrs. Bowser. There is no call to discuss this subject, es- pecially as your animus is so appar- ent"
 ''But we will discuss it,' she persist ed. ''Last year you heard the people calling on you to rise and help them throw off the yoke of tyranny or some such nonsense, and you let them make a guy of you to the amount of at least $50. When they could get no more cash out of you for beer they dropped you with a thud"

principal influences were the rather bulish I'LL

another important thing. Viewed at first as
bearish, this was Looked at later in a favorable
light. Some traders have figured that the

permit stocks Of wheat to increase here more
rapidly and will weaken the cash market.
There is something to this, but the other
hand, Winnipeg Is not weakened by seeing this

to be weakening In Liverpool, for that market
