DEFENDS IGoRRoTEs' WAYS
University Of Chicago Professor De-
clares Dog Eating No Worse
Than Consuming Pork.

Prof Frederick Starr, Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, appears as defender OF
the Igorrote manners and customs in an
article IN the September issue OF the
World Today. Criticising the public
horror over the eating of dog meat by
this tribe from the Philippines, Prof
Star says sarcastically: 1T is curious
that the killing of few dogs by these
poor people should arouse these sensi-
tive souls SO much more than the whole
sale killing Of lambs-and pigs by our
selves. AS between dog meat and pig
wise man might hesitate. but eventually
you'd probably decide for the Igorrots
custom"
The practice of this tribe of wearing
little or no clothing is also defended BY
Prof. Starr.
To those who would clothe the Igor
rotes he says: Surely any one who can
see aught but beauty in these shapeiy
bodies ard fine brown skins or whose
appreciation Of that beauty is disturbed
by any evil thoughts is certainly wrong.

AS his gaze swept the tent 70,
something suggesting plan for delfv-
erance, he saw il had been Quilted OF
everything except two articles-his
light silk coat, which hung upon the
partition between the two tents. and
! the tourists shaving mirror which it
concealed. The coat had been over

tent wall itself
In moments like this one grasps
! at straws. As it is said a drowning
! person reviews his past experiences
, perfectly in brief moment, so to this
man. facing desperate odds, came a
desperate suggestion.
He called loudly on supposed pro-
tector in the adjoining tent to come
10 the window, and prove to his cap
tor that he was under protection of a
Moslem. AS he spoke he slowly drew
,, the coat from before the mirror in
front of which the sheik was standing.
mo words can express the unutter-
able CONSERVATION pictured upon that
blazing face. livid with fright and
wonder, as for the first time it saw
its own awful reflection, not knowing
it was its own. One instant he stood
stock-Still, fascinated, Mortified, over
whelmed; then collapsed, just as that
lady did but a moment ago, and the
American quickly possessed himself of
his captor's arms and was master Of
the situation.

the story teller, I'VE will have our

AS he spoke he again reached for
ward 20 turn the trump. There was
a quickly drawn breath Of horror from
those who observed him, for the first
three fingers of his left hand were
missing.
Before he could turn the card a saw
age lurch of the boat. accompanied by
the creaking of timbers, announced the
arrival of the Rappahannock at her
New York slip-and the trump was
never turned.

No Statue of Washington.

There are probably few if any other
cities in this country in which stronger
efforts are made to impress upon the
young the name and fame of George
Washington than in Chicago. There
is no other city in the land of anything
like equal size or Importance in which
may not be found statue of the
Father Of His Country" but Chicago
has none.
But few cities in America, and espec-
tally those of the central and western
states, have a larger collection or
greater assortment of bronze figures
than is to be found in Chicago, but
George Washington is not numbered
among the men so honored The heroic
statue of Lincoln at the entrance of
Lincoln park is one of the sights of
the city that is really North seeing
The Grant statue in the same park is
deserving of attention. The Logan
statue on the lake front may be ques-
tionable in execution, but is not lack
ing in showing Of sentiment for that
ilIustrious son of Illinois. Statues OF
Beethoven, Frederick Won Shiller
Goethe and others may be found in
Lincoln park. Humboldt park has its
statues to Won Humboldt and Reuter-.
At the city hall is the monument 10
Columbus. Such historic incidents as
the Fort Dearborn massacre and the
fire of 1871 are perpetuated In bronze.

The LETTER FROM MOTHER.

Pip and snip and futter and firt-
The morning mail is in;
Inc typewrfter's rack-tSck right and left
With brusque, staccato din.
Order and tally, statement and bill,
Credit, receipt and dun;
He slaps them open with hasty hand,
Asserting them one by one
Respected Gentlemen" "Honored Sirs,"
Formal and SNUG and trite,
EMPTY phrases Of business life
To start the letters right
Sincerely yours" and with respect"
"Obedient servant" tool
Satire tucked to a rebate claim
Or angry threat TO sue.
Down through the thick OF the stack he
goes
With the business snarl on his brow;
There is never a smile in postman' 5
bag
You'd imagine. to look at him now.
But under q letter of formal cut
And sickly commercial hue,
Here is missive trinity plump
With envelope honest blue.
And ne opens the flap with a careful
hand.
He pushes the others by;
The faltering lines and the faded ink
He studies with softened eye
There's truth in the words, NY precious
boy
For they're penned by mothers hand,
And there's something else between the
lines
His heart can understand
Forgetting the cares of the business day
And the roar from the city's throat,
Ills thoughts go back to the farm the
while
He reads what mother wrote:
We are we'll, and your fathers smart,
He's down in the woods to-day;
Tell Joe I'm filling the wood-shed up
Ia
Ask him If ever he's found a spot
That's quite so coy and snug
AS the corner in front of our fireplace
With his back on the braided rug?
Tell him there's plenty of birch and
beech
That's laundering now to burn,
And lots Of things in the bins down
Waiting for his return
I've had fine luck with all preserves
And all of my pickles, too.
The house is full of the smell of spice!
Snin hard at this paper" True!
He closed his eyes on the office walls
And the perfume the letter brings
Whispers of Jars on the cellar shelves
And apples in festooned strings
he scents the SAVIOR OF autumn fields
And the fragrance of heaped-up mows,
The spicy waftings from cellar bins
And the dewy breath of cows.
Then down at the end there's the same
sweet thrill
He found in the words above:
Come when you can, precious hey.
From mother, with all her love-
And somehow the tasks OF the busy day
Are full of snarls and frets;
HIS thoughts are slow. and things move
wrong,
He blunders and he forgets.
For the call of home is in his ears.
In his eyes the old home place.
In his heart the yearning for two old
folks
Who are longing to see his face.
And he heaps on his wondering partners

THE ferry-boat, "Rappahannock.
had an experience in the winter
OF 1873 that will never be forgotten by
any Of her passengers.
During one of her regular trips be-
tween New York and Brooklyn this
boat suddenly quilted her respectable,
though somewhat monotonous, career,
and became a common tramp. without
port or destination.
TAe day awoke in fog such as the
Oldest inhabitant had never seen. The
East river was blocked with ice and
soon became a shrieking bedlam Of
cropping and bewildering craft, whose
pilots could scarcely see their hands
before their faces.
At half past nine the "Rappahan-
mock" left Brooklyn, we'll laden with
passengers, and started on her Gus
'omary trip almost directly across the
rivera very short and unusually easy
voyage. Before even reaching the mid
lie or the stream, however, the ice
and fog had thrown her completely
out OF her course. Back and forth, up
and down stream, the pilot vainly
cropped, anTd the shrieking whistles.

clangor, he had entirely lost his bear

When, after long and perilous bat
Ting with ice jams and many hair
breadth escapes from collisions, he sud-
denly sighted the landing place on the
New York side, he found it occupied
by a sister boat, which had been driven
there to avoid destruction. He backed

Who begged the other helpless passen-
gers for the love Of Heaven to help

Between these two extremes of i'm

The Cattle Situation.

relative to the cattle situation.
Following is the reply: We'll"
said the colonel, that is big
question, embracing many feat
ures. Grass is fine all over the
range, cattle are in excellent con-
dition and from that standpoint
may say that all is well. But
all is not well from other view
points In my judgment the cat.
tie industry in Texas is just now
in greater jeopardy than it ever
was before IN all its existence.
Prices are lower for range cattle
than / ever knew them. The
feeder cannot afford to buy be-
cause the freight rates to his feed
ing pens, the cost of feed, the
cost of help to do the feeding and
the freight rates to markets, will
bring him in debt when he sells,
50 he has retired from business,
hence the packers are the only
buyers.
"As the packers are the only
buyers and as they are but human
beings. and very human at that,
they naturally keep the prices at
as low figures as possible, and for
the same reason, put up the pack
ing house products to the highest.
1t is not necessary to discuss this
last feature. Everybody knows
the costs of steaks and roasts.
From the present outlook the
packers will have to put up the
prices of cattle or cattlemen will
have to 90 out of business at n
continuous dead loss. His BUSH
ness will eat itself up aud the
cattle industry is exactly IN this
woeful plight now. | do not be-
lieve the packers will, however,
kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. They are men of too much
sense and business ken for this,
and will therefore. l think, speed
lily advance the prices of cattle on
their own motion, that is, with
out the pressure of any necessi-
tous influences.
Now these views are along
pessimistic lines and / have only
stated facts that no man in the
cattle business will attempt t.
controvert, but there is an opti
mistic side to the question also

now, is going to fail entirely anc

If the packers cannot see it III TIN

prices, they are going to be forced
