 THE PHILIPPINE RESERVATION,
 place to spend a good half day Is in the Philippine Reservation. Over in the enclosure there are five villages to visit. At the performance in the theatre in the visayan village the best class of our newly acquired 5000, ,0OO or so may be studied. A splendid band led by a manly and intellectual looking leader renders a program, after which songs and dances are done by goodly company of men, women and children. At the conclusion of the performance the manager an- nounces that they will sing one Ameri- can song in English-one they have learned during their stay in St. Louis. The song proves to be '"The Star Span gled Banner" and on the occasion of my visit there the sight and sound of these newly acquired United States children singing their loyalty to their new country inspired even the most lukewarm United States citizen present to rise. With one accord they joined in the honor accorded the flag waved by the Filipinos.
 From the theatre 1t is we'll to go to the Negrito village and take a look at the lowest type; the stunted, black, woody headed beings, Even they have intelligent faces and are learning some English words. There is an evidence of glee and vigor in their war dance that bespeaks that better days may be in store for this race. The other villages are the Moro, the Bagobo and Iggerote. The latter is spieled as 'SThe Dog Eaters" Against all orders, I slipped under a wire fence to peep into their cooking place, asking as civilly as possible. May look" when from each black face and glib tongue came NO. no; perlice, perlice!.
 I got back under that wire and greatly amused the onlooking crowd. In passing out complained that had not witnessed the dog eating" and with profuse apologies the gate-keeper said: At 8 o'clock every day they do kill. dress, skin and cook a dog"
 But" asked I. "do they eat it." Well" he replied, they take it to their huts. I can't vouch for their eating it." I asked where they got dog. and he said, From the city-a tramp dog"
 | Then wondered which was the sav- age race, the lggerotes, who XIII the dog to satisfy hunger. or the Ameri- cans who demand the death to get their moneys worth of horror. The same public which as soon as 1t out grows the tales of robbers, Jack, the giant killer, and such like. demands to be startled by shoot the chutes, high divers. horrible trips on bicycles, Eiffel towers. Ferris wheels, etc. To what will this increasing tendency to the startling and the horrible lead? have no particular sympathy for the high diver, but my heart goes out to the tramp dog whose life is sacrificed to meet the demands of the Americans love of the shivers.
 In all the other villages weaving is the industry. The fabrics are beau- tifuI. while their methods are crude.
 drill by the Filipino soldiers was a beautiful sight. The higher class of men are a fine type. but the women are most inartistieally gowned and are not bit picturesque as are the Chinese
