May Sell the Philippines.

tits rumored now that one of
the reasons President Roosevelt
had in appointing Governor
Wright of the Philippines, as am
bassador to Japan, was for the
purpose Of negotiating the sale Of
these islands to the Japanese.
The public has long appreciated
that we got a most fractions ele-
plant on our hands when we got
the islands and it has been a
much mooted question as to the
best policy Of handling them.
Like all other human natures, we
are loathe to give up what we
have acq uired both by blood and
purchase money, still we all
realize the eyer present size Of
the elephant.
IF President Roosevelt has de-
termined that the best thing the
United States can do is to get rid
of the Philippines on the best
terms that can be negotiated and
under the best posi- BILE condi-
tions for the integrity of the is
lands, he will have made himself
more the idol Of the people than
ever. y
Senator Crane Of Massachu-
sets introduced resolution not
long ago authorizing the Presi-
dent to negotiate with world
powers to the end that the ssin-
tegrity of the Philippines should
be preserved if they should re-
ceive their independence" Now
Senator Crane is a very personal
friend Of the President. He was
formerly Governor Of Massachu-
sets and while acting in that Ca
pacity refused a portfolio in the
cabinet rendered to him by the
President. It was refused on a
friendly basis and now that
! former Governor Crane is a
United States Senator, it is only
REASONABLE to infer that he and
the President are still on the
same good friendly terms.
If that resolution were pre-,
scented with the End in view of
not only selling the Philippines
but still preserving their integ
rity, then the appointment Of
Governor Wright as am bassador
to Japan to negotiate the sale,
will be ad mittedly the shrewdest
diplomatic move ever made in
the history of this country It
will prove Roosevelt to be the
cleverest man this nation has
ever. known and the only thing
that will prevent his renomina-
ton will be his death.
A London correspondent says
that it is believed in that city
that Japan will soon acquire the
Philippines either by purchase
or exchange and that Japan has
already made proposals to the
United States with that end in
view.

as | knew it would be very dangerous one,
and that some of us might get killed, and even
scalped by the red warriors, l told Steve he
would have to stay at the fort until | came
back.
But here was trouble again, for he begged
so hard and pleaded 80 earnestly that at last
| gave up, and he came along with our party,
mounted on his pony, determined to fight as
hard as any of the soldiers.
One afternoon our little army camped at the
foot of the Big Horn Mountains, and General
Miles sent out scouts to see if there We're any
Indians in the neighborhood. They came back
and said none were anywhere around, so
told Steve to shoulder his rife and come with
me- and l would show him how to kill a
mountain sheep.
We went up the mountain and down the
other side into deep and dark canyon.
This was the famous Black Canyon you read
about in the histories and the school geogra-
phies, and was at one time full of grizzly bears,
and also another kind called cinnamon bears.
We never thought of this while we were
hunting for the Rocky Mountain sheep, for
away up in the air, on the tops of rocks, could
be seen the bold sheep jumping from crag to
crag, but never once making mis-step.
These animals have curious horns, very large,
curling almost around their heads, and very
hard too. That is why we call the mountains
Big Horn-because they are full Of sheep hav-
ing big horns.
Some hunters say that when the Rocky
Mountain sheep come to high place and want
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-13

to jump down they double themselves up like
a ball and throw their bodies over the cliff,
striking on their horns, when 5hey get up,
curl themselves up again, and tumble down In
the same manner to another place.
1t never hurts them in the least, but would
surely break their legs if they fell on them by
jumping in the ordinary way.
l saw mountain sheep high up on point
of rock, but he didn't see us. Telling Steve
to keep perfectly quiet, l took steady aim at
the animal with my large gun and fired. Down
fell the sheep, shot through the heart, BRING
ing lot of stones and rocks with him as he
tumbled; but, unfortunately, he fell far below
us to the bottom of the canyon, out of sight:
/ crawled to the edge of rock and saw him
lying away down below us, as dead as he
could be.
We wanted the beautiful horns, so Steve
and l started to go down after him; but as
my little brother not so used to climbing
as I was, left him behind and told him to
follow as fast as he could.
Finally, reaching the dead sheep, called
out, "Steve! Steve!" in loud voice. But no
answer came back except a great echo that
sounded very loud in the deep place, and SO
| thought Steve must be very far behind.
1 took out my sharp hunting knife and pre-
pared to cut off the horns, so as to take them
back to camp with u.s. when suddenly heard
an angry growl behind me, and turning quickly
around | saw great grizzly bear standing on
his hind legs and showing his ugly teeth.
What could | do? l was very much afraid,
and thought the bear would kill me; for he was
an ugly-looking fellow, and seemed very mad
about something.
Quickly seized my rifle, and pointing it at
the animal | pulled the trigger; but it did
not go off Then I saw that all my cartridges
were in my belt, which was lying on the
ground at the other side Of Bruin.
What was to do? I was dreadfully fright
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-13


feature that is not least pronounced is its
prodigious mouth. which extends, not from car
to ear, but halfway round the front part of
its head, and is fortified with rows of teeth
which may be raised or depressed at will, ac.
cording as the prey Is entering or striving TO
escape from its place of captivity. Along the
top of the head are found three long filaments,
the first of which terminates in balllike ap-
pendage, and which may be waved in any
direction.
Fishes are attracted by the motion of this
object, and when sufficiently near the mouth
is opened and the prey is sucked in to its
own destruction.
The stomach is distensible to an extraor-
dinary degree, and frequently fishes are dis
covered therein which are nearly equal IN
weight and size TO the fshing-frog itself.
The head is provided with moss-like fringe
which extends around its entire circumference
and which enables it to conceal itself easily
among the seaweeds and moses on the bottom
of the sea, where it is its pleasure and custom
to extend and bury itself in wait for It's
victims

TlHEN General Miles was chasing the
wv Nez Perce and Bannock Indians adj
- over the Territory of Montana in
lENfEGaI 1876, the trail he was following led
off toward the Big Horn Mountains,
where the red men were gathered IN
great numbers
Among the army officers who went along
with him on that expedition was myself.
For long time my young brother Steve,
who was safe at home in the East had been
bothering me with letters to let him come
out on the wild frontier and hunt the buffalo,
deer, antelope, and even the savage Indians
themselves.
l did not like the prospect of having the
young fellow with me, for he was only twelve
years old, and had never yet been away from
home; but at last our mother wrote that she
would send him during school vacation, and
one tlne morning in June, 1876, dear Steve
rode into the fort on the blackboard mail team,
and the next moment had his arms around my
neck, so glad was he to see me.
L was delighted to see how tall he had
grown since | last saw him, and he seemed
quite little man to me.
With sparkling eyes he showed me a brand
new Winchester rifle, made especially for BOYS.
which he had brought along to kill the buffalo
with.
So gave him one of my ponies-a tough lit
tie broncho had captured from the Indians
who would stand anything, and would even
ing; and day or two. afterward we started
from the fort, and rode out over the great
prairie, to kill buffalo.
We had not gone very far when a big Jack
rabbit jumped up from the sage brush, and af
ter running short distance, stopped and sat
upon his hind legs as if to say, Catch me if
you can"
Steve didn't get off his horse, but the pony
stood quite still; and when the little Wincbes-
ter rifle cracked out very loud, and the smoke
blew away, | was surprised and delighted to
see the rabbit lying on the ground, dead.
We iumpe1. off our ponies, and ran up to
poor little bsnny; but he was dead, sure
enough, for the bullet had gone true to
the mark, and killed the little fellow before he
knew what had hit him.
Steve was very proud of his first hunt and
as we couldn't find any buffalo that day. we
returned to the fort about dark. and had a
- fine supper of roast rabbit.
| tell you it did taste good, and nobody en-
ioyed it more than my dear little brother. Ev
erybody said he would be great marksman
some day, and was very glad, indeed, to hear
that; for / knew the rabbit would never have
been killed if Steve had not held the rife
steady and aimed it straight.
Would you believe that Steve's good rife
shooting saved my life not long afterward /?
Well, it did, and l will tell you exactly how Il
happened.
You remember. was saying that General
Miles the great Indian fighter, had chased the
Indians off into the Big Horn Mountains Now,
i went with General Miles on that trip. and

TYPEWRITER BLAMED

The phrase dictated but not re-
read" is now occasionally seen
stamped or typewriter in the lower
let hand corner of typewriter let
ter. This is the latest loophole of
escape adopted by cautious though
very busy men to avoid reading over
the letters they dictate, and, at the
same time, to explain any error made
by careless or ignorant stenogra-
pher.
BY this simple expedient business
man is able to affix his signature to
each of pile of typewriter letters,
trusting to luck that no glaring mis-
takes have been made. Again, with
this printed explanation the business
man may leave before the days mail
is finished, this explanation making
personal signature unnecessary.
This scheme for relieving ones self
from the results of mistakes caused
either by the misunderstanding OF
word at the time of debating or the
stenographer's ignorance of business
terms was first adopted by travelling
statesmen obliged to have most of
their correspondence done at hotels
along the route and never sure of the
accuracy of the stenographer avail
able.
AS in many cases a salesman is OBJ
liged to leave for another city before
his letters are finished, the necessity
for some such explanation is obvious.
While carbon copy of each letter is
usually sent him at his next stopping
place, the original goes ON to the
headquarters of his company and
sometimes contain amusing mis-
takes, the result of ignorance of the
0v aed in his particular line of
business.
f. ...-Lance, not long ago fire in
surance adjuster obliged to dictate an
important letter just before taking a
train was surprised on his next visit
to the home Office to find that only
about half Of his letter had ever been
received. About midway in the letter
the stenographer had inserted this
hote:
Here the gentleman went so fast
didn't know what he said, but it was
something about a crosseyed agree
ment."
After little thought on the part
of the one who dictated the letter he
remembered that he had referred to
quasi agreement, an expression
with which the hotel stenographer
! was evidently unfamiliar.
Another instance was the case of a
young attorney, who dictated letter
| to his stenographer asking a brother
| lawyer if he could argue demurrer
on a certain day. The letter was sent
| out hurriedly and not reread.
The next day the letter was re-
| turned to the writer asking for an
Interpretation of what seemed sur
prising request. Investigation showed
! that the stenographer had misread
her notes and inquired IL the young
lawyer could "agree to be demure"
| on a certain day.
Dictated by -, but not reread
by him" is sometimes added at the
| bottom of letter by means of a
rubber stamp, the initials of the par
tIcular person debating the letter be-
ing filled in with a pen. This method
is adopted when the letter has been
dictated by one member Of firm
and signed by another perhaps not
entirely familiar with the subject mat
| ter.
