Bath afternoon, swinging a. heavy
hickory stick as a cane, came Jack
GLADDEN.; and he was in no pleasant
mood, for he had Just come from the
Hadleys' where he learned that Grace
was out walking with Mr.. Souders.
He heard the gunshots. and the shout
ing. and saw the mad dog and its pur-
suers; and, Just ahead of the swiftly
approaching terror, he saw Grace and
Mr.. Souders. He caught a better grip
ON his stick, and started ON a run
toward them.
AS Grace fell, the slavering brute
was almost upon her. The next in
slant 1t lay stunned and Quivering
from the effects of well-deIivered
blow from Jacks stick. A few more
blows, and the danger was past.
"Oh, Jack!" she said, as he helped
her toSher feet; and then she put her
arms around his neck and kissed him.
Mr.. Henry Souders slid silently
down his tree and Joined the crowd

Moro History.

The Filipinos are being analysed,
classified and described by ethnolo-
gists. Mindanao and Sulu were con-
quered in the middle ages by MOham-
medans, who established new form
Of government and introduced writ
ten code Of laws. Previous to this
there. was no written history, but
thenceforth the dattos or chiefs kept
their genealogies. and these. brief
though they be, are the only sources
for Moro history. Prior to the Arneri-
can acquisition Of the islands the tar
siIa or genealogies were rigidly kept
out Of sight of all foreigners and nom
Mohammedans, but the chronological
survey has been successful in getting
copies Of them; these have now been
translated. The Moros comprise va
rious tribes, which widely differ. The
language is Malayan, but the charac
tiers employed are Arabic, which
makes the work Of transIiteration diff
ilcult.

A NATAL REBEL CHIEF.
'6skofeli Has Inherited His DsAanct
and Hatred Of English
Authority.

'Mskofeli, the leading rebel chief In
Natal, is an example Of her editary DE-
flance Of authority, as he il a,ggandson
Of the famous LangaIib3:ele, who gave
the Natal CarbiLisrs am Police such
hot time in the DrakAnsberg rising Of
the seventies. LaAgalibFieie was de-
ported, and died ln.eKiles but 'hskofeli
was brought up within Il fcw miles Of
! the scene OF the recent rising. Curl
cusly enough, his father. Kukulela,
raised y body Of men to help the Brit
ish during the Zulu war. ta
'Mskofeli sent emissaries to Dinizu-
lu some weeks ago suggesting rebel-
lion. The former has flve or six wives,
has considerable cattle and wagons,
and is a hypochondriac. He is heredi-
tary chief Of the large Amkuzini tribe
and quite a despot in his way among
them, although the initiative is not his
but his ducal uncles, SO to speak-Quite
a native parallel with czardom. He has
been in receipt of a salary of go from
the Natal government, plus fees for
civil native cases, which he tries, and
for marriages. His lands are very rich
and well watered. His tribesmen pos
sess a magnificent physique. It ID
notable that he had given strict orders
that his nearest European neighbor,
Walter Cakes, was not to be molested,
al he was favorite of 'Mskofeli's, and
when Mr.. Cakes went into laager with
the other whites 'Mskofeli finally came
in, 800 men surrendered with him, and
he paid 424O poll tax. He was dressed
in his favorite gray suit, wore large
felt hat decorated with peacock feath-
ers, and was mounted on fine cream
colored pony.

COLD An GRASS ROOFS.
Some Of the Recent Rich Strikes
Along the Small Alaskan
Streams.

Gold is found at the grass roots
In many places of the Yentna District
particularly ON some Of the new creeks
Of the upper Kahiltana and Lake
creek, which have been prospected
since the beginning of the year, says
the Seward correspondent OF the Sc
attic Times. At least 300 men are
now in the district and all are busy
prospecting and making ready Tor
summer work. Many Of them have
sluice boxes in place to begin wash
ing gravel as soon as the creeks clear
of ice.
This is the report brought down by
John A. Mcdonald, who with ID. H.
Conklin arrived in Seward recently
They left the headwaters OF the
Yentna April % and came straight
through with the exception OF stay
of two days at the lower end OF Lake
Creek as they came past. Water was
running over the ice ON the Yentna
and they were obliged to wade part
of the way. 1t was slushy travelling
all the way from Lake Creek to kniK
and the Little Susitna was showing
signs of a breakup.
Mr.. Mcdonald has been IN the
Yentna district since last fall with
the exception of a few weeks IN the
winter when he came outside. He left
here in February the last time and
since then has been on most of the ex'
plored creeks of the district While
no mining has been done since las'

0lass Conductors.

Glass is usually thought Of as &
typical non-conductor or insulator, Of
electricity. But some kinds OF glass
are very good conductors of electricity.
Mr.. G, e. s. Phillips. OF Shooters Hill,
England, has produced in his labOra-
tory, glass which readily conducts
electricity, and which, he thinks, may
prove useful for the windows and cases
Of e!ectrostatic instruments. This
glass possesses about 36 times the CON.
,ductIvity Of common soda glass. But
1t Is said that there is no particular
dificulty in producing flint glass with
as great conductivity as that just mem

Truth That Shakespeare Knew Whsrs-
Of He Spoke Is Seen Every Day
in Business World.

y Among the most valuable assets the
worker in almost any field can have
are the razor, the shoe brush and the
tooth powder. These are possessions
within the reach Of anyone. To have
them and use them is a powerful help
toward success. To neglect them is
one Of the surest means Of meeting
failure. I.
There is no man, no matter how
careless he may be of his own per.
sonal appearance. that would not
rather talk business to q man who
is clearly shaven, whose shoes are
shined, whose teeth are white, and
whose linen is in good condition,
than to man who is careless about
his appearance. Employers know that
the careful salesman usually sells the
most goods. They know, too, that
Shakespeare was right when he said
that the apparel doth oft proclaim the
man. They reason that unless a man
has respect for himself he does not
much mind whether others have re-
spect for him or not. And q man who
cannot inspire respect in those with
whom he does business is not half 50
valuable as the man who can.
First impressions often are the
strongest impressions. A well
groomed man wins his way where the
shabby clad man is refused q hear"

tails that 90 to make up mans gem
