THE FRIAR'S CREED.

The story of an apostate friac who
left the brotherhood in Manila be-
cause of the voluptuous life it led.
comes from the islands.
This conscientious man was true to
the teaching he had received ana did
| not believe he could serve mankind
best while living as a licentious, sAlf-
ish. unthinking man, as some of his
| brothers were doing in the Spanish
cities of the islands, so he forsook the
elegant home of the brotherhood and
went into the interior among natives
who had never heard of civilization
and who were not tainted by contact
with Spanish weaknesses.
With infinite labor he erected a
small chapel in the far interior and
took up his simple life among the ma
tives.
There he was found last year by an
American teacher who has penetrated
the interior in an exploring tour. The
old friar was zealously laboring
among a tribe of the most ignorant
natives in the islands.
What creed do you teach broth
err" asked the American.
The friar pointed to the rude stone
arch over the door of his humble
chapel where he had carved deeply,
yet beautifully, the Spanish word. "es-
peranza," (hope). And then he ex-
planned his creed in detail
Il tell them today, after they have
learned two words of the Spanish Ian
guage that tomorrow they shall be
able to learn four words, and the next
day five and so on infinitely he said.
Il tell them that If they raise 20
chickens this season, next season they
shall by industry raise 40 chickens,
| and if they raise two buffalo calves
each year, in few years they should
have a respectable herd, and If they
clear away a little bamboo forest
each month. they shall soon have a
large field and raise immense crops
to market at the seaports.
II tell them one brief story of re-
ligion today and promise them more
tomorrow. They live by hope. They
expect something better, something
more satisfying tomorrow. In this
way 1 have increased their scope and
view until they are several hundred
per cent better than when l came
among them. " '"@
1.-The one word 'esperanZa is my
sole creed. l have not a book in my
hut and none of the natives would
know the use of the prayer book If
should tell them of it. As long as We
can keep burning an infinite hope
life is progress. When hope is dim
med. the windows of our lives are
darkened and we stagnate."

FEEDING EAST: STARVING WEST

There are three ports of entry for
the collection of customs in Illinois
besides Chicago. They are Cairo, Ga
lena and Rock Island. The total re-
ceipts of the three for the last fiscal
year were s17O.19, and the total ex-
penses s1527.71. On the Average 1t
cost the government $3.50 to collect
ST.
It would save money by discontinue
ing the ports, but four employees
would lose their positions. That is
a sufficient reason why economy
should not be considered.
The Illinois ports which have been
named are only three out Of the 50
in the country where the expenses ex-
coed the receipts.
Some of them make an extraordi-
nary showing At Albemarle, n. C..
it cost last year $500 to collect IS;
at Tappahannock, Va, 1902; and al
Annapolis, 1929. The government
took in SIS and paid out sS321 fol
the support Of six employees.
There are some Of these unprofita'
Bile ports which could be abolished
without impairing the efficiency o.
the service or interfering with any
body except those who would lost
their Jobs.

lTALY'S TRADE IN FAKE
"STATUARY."

A number of skilled workmen in
Florence are kept busy supplying the
demand for fifteenth century frescoes
after Pinthoricchio and other masters
of the period, says a New York dis
! patch.
These reproductions are carefully
broken into fragments in such a way
as to suggest that they have been torn
from the walls of old buildings. and
are eagerly purchased by tourists, es-
pecially those from this side of the
Atlantic.
Tourists, in fact form the constan,
prey of the antique" forger. Entire
communities along the Tiber the Nile
and the Jordan derive a livelihood
from this gullibility.
Before the very eyes of the unsus-
pecting traveller, innocent looking
country people will dig up objects that
appear to have lain buried for centu-
ries.
oh, yes; the finder will sell his find,
but nothing must be said to govern
ment officials about it.
SO the delighted purchaser goes off
with his antique" while the guileless
peasant calmly buries another speci-
men of the same kind for the benefit
of the next tourist that comes along.
A remarkable instance of this de-
ception of experts is furnished by the
so-called Tiara of Saitapharnes."
which was purchased by the Paris
Louvre for $4,000.
Recently it was discovered that this
remarkable specimen of the gold
smiths art was manufactured by
| jeweler of Odessa-southern Russia
No intention to deceive, however,
animated this particular jeweler; he
simply carried out the work after de-
signs furnished him. and, while he
knew he was making something that
had all the appearance of an ancient
piece did not know for what purpose
| 1t was ordered.
An Italian artist of the middle OF
last century attained such remarkable
success in duplicating ancient terra
Gotta works that specimens of his skill
may be found today in many Europe
an museums labeled with the great
names of the period of Florentine
Renaissance.
| Discovered in his boyhood by for
mer coal dealer, the expert was put
at work turning out replicas of the
great masters. while the employer
turned antiquarian, dug up" and sold
the specimens at large prices.

these moribund ports has always
fought bravely to keep the hands OF
the economists away from it.
This alarming public extravaganza
is sanctioned in the east, while the
Pacific coast is denied even the most
commonplace necessities in the way
of public service.
Very few cities in the entire interior
of the Pacific coast are supplied with
federal buildings, few lighthouses
and life-saving stations are found on
the dangerous northwest coasts, scant
aid is given by the government in
opening up the great river highways
of the west, and parsimonious policies
prevail with regard to developing
harbor facilities or encouraging COM
merce.
Yet in the eastern states where con-
gressmen are thick as sheepherders
in oregon, every little measly city
must be made port of entry, where
idle employees draw government
money and where political favoritism
is hatched, nursed and perpeutated in
abundance.
1t is an unjust and narrow policy
and one which the good sense and
Americanism of congress should
remedy. Western congressman should
not rest until the Pacific coast is rec
ognized as it deserves and the east is
stripped of its favoritism as it ie-
serves.

A Washington dispatch says: The
house Saturday passed a resolution
appropriating s1,O0O,O00 in addition to
the amount heretofore appropriated
to the San Francisco sufferers.
Mr.. Tawney reported the joint res
olution making an additional appropri-
alton Of s1,0O0,OOO for aiding San
Francisco. According to the resolu-
ton, special authority Is given the
secretary Of war to use this and for
mer appropriation for the purpose not
only to buy additional supplies which
may be needed for the relief of the
sufferers, but also for the purpose OF
replacing by purchasing such subsist-
ence, quartermaster's and medical sup
plies which may have been furnished
by the secretary Of war for such re-
lief from the stores on hand for the
use of the army. This resolution was
adopted.
The speaker laid before the house
the message of the president relating
to the additional appropriation for the
sufferers IN San Francisco and other
cities on the Pacific coast.

poured as through sieve, wetting the

which they lay.
When it is understood that thou

this plight, nothing need be added to
describe the misery of their condi-

DEAD BEING CREMATED.
Two Hundred Bodies Found in One
Section of Poorer District of
frisco Burned by Authorities.

At San Francisco Sunday, two hun
d7cd bodies found in the poorer dis
trict south of Shannon street in the
vicinity of the Union Iron Works were
crcmated at the Six Mile house by
the order of Coroner Walsh. Some
Of the dead were victims Of falling
buildings, some were killed in the
fire, but it is believed by the board
OF health that the majority died Of
ptcmaine poisoning.
So many dead were found in this
limited area that cremation was deem
eS absolutely necessary to prevent
disease Names of some of the dead
were learned, but in the majority Of
cases Identification was impossible
on account of the mutilation Of the
features. A systematic search for the
bodies Of victims is now being made
by the coroner and state board OF
health inspectors
The city has been divided into san
itary districts, and squads Of search
ers have been sent out to every quar-
ter. Had it not been for the sight
Of the rude altars set up in the open
air wherever San Francisco's home
less thousands were camped, one
would have some difficulty in finding
any of the peaceful associations Of
the Sabbath in the city throughout
the day. Everywhere throughout the
burned as well as the remaining Sec
tions of the city there was the great
est activity. Streets were being clear
ed of debris, laborers were repairing
broken water pipers, sewers and gas
raains, electricians everywhere were
seeking to unentangle the almost
hopeless confusion of wires-in fact,
San Francisco was in the first stages
Of its regeneration.
