Awful Carnage.

President Roosevelt sent the follow

Maj.-Gen. Wood at Manila regarung
the recent encounters with the Moros

you and they so well upheld the honor

Reports from Iamboanga say that
the attack on Mount Dajo commenced
on Monday. There were four days
OF hard fighting. during which it is
estimated that 900 persons were killed
or wounded.
Bliss made a reconnaissance toward
Mount Dajo during the week previous
to the attack OF The American force
upon the Moro stronghold there. but
II had no effect upon the hostile att
tllde of the outlaws.
An unofficial report says that the
families of the Morcs remained in the
village located in the center of the
crater at The apex of the mountain.
and the women and children mingled
with the warriors during the battle
10 such an extent that il was mpos-
sible TO discriminate. and all were
killed in the fierce onslaught.
Constabulary attachments are now
engaged in the mountains of Northern
Luzon rounding up the bands OF saw
ages and heal-hunters, who are on
the warpath.
Americans are now arriving at Fam
boanga from Jolo. The consensus of
their opinions is that the whole trou.
bic was due TO the fact that Gov. Maj
Hugh Scott permitted the outlaws to
fortify themselves within sight or the
city of Jolo. The military authorities
at Iamboanga have refused since then
TO give any information TO the press.

Perc Marquette Mystery.

Owing to the disappearance OF
eight feet of track on the Klondikc
branch of the Pere Marquette rail-
road. an entire freight train was
ditched and half a mile of track torn
up. Both rails and ties have mys-
teriously disappeared. The engine
jumped the open space and landed all
right on the next rails. but the rest of
the train, including the caboose. was
wrecked.
No trace of the missing track can
be found. This Is the locality where
John Brown two years ago held up
a train many hours with a rife. after
barricading the track, but that ma &
ter was adjusted in court nearly Il
Ncar ago.

LINCOLN'S DISPOSITION.
Ordinarily Cheerful, It Held a Strain
 of Deep MeInnchOll..

Hopeful and cheerful as he ordinarily seemed, there was in MT. Lncoln's dis position d strain of deep melancholy This was not peculiar to him alone, for the pioneers as a race were sOmber rather than gay. Their lives had been passed for generations under the most trying physical conditions, near malaria ed the poison of decaying vegetation Insufficient shelter, storms, the cold of winter. savage enemies and the cruel labor that killed off all but the hardest of them had at the same time killed the happy-go-lucky gayety of an easier form of life. They were thoughtful. watchful, wary; capable, indeed, of wild merriment. but it has been said that although q pioneer might laugh he could not easily be made to smile. Lincolns mind was unusually sound and sane and normal. He had cheer ful. wholesome, sunny nature, yet he had inherited the strongest traits of the pioneers, and there was in him, more capacity for joy and pain. It is not strange that as he developed into man. hood, especially when his deeper nature began to feel the stirrings of ambition and of love, that these seasons of de. pressiOn and gloom came upon him with overwhelming force.-Helen Nico- lay in St Nicholas

ASPARAGUS.
Its Relation to the Famous AsphodeI
 of the Early Ages.

Its Relation to the Famous AsphodeI
 of the Early Ages.
 As q ticker of the palate asparagus has come down the ages with all the weight of Greek and Roman approval Plato ate 1t by the plateful, and Aris. tophanes, the humorist, regarded 1t as great aid in dlresting the crank phi. losophers of the day.
 It Is an odd fact that this culinary plant is closely related to the famous asphodel, which was supposed by the anclents to be the leading flower in the gardens of the elyslum, the Greek pur. gatory or paradise. A part of the quaintness of this lies in the fact that the roots possess purgative qualities. The roots and fruit of both were for. merly much used in medicine for this purpose.
 According to the superstition of the Romans, the names of the dead fed on the roots of the asphodel. They planted 1t, therefore, in and around the ceme. teries; hence to this day 1t covers with its beautiful golden blossoms as pro. fusely as dandelions the Apulian hills and valleys, and the sheep feed on il greedily.
 It belongs to the same natural order of perennials, and the only difference between the asparagus and the as phodel appears to be in the fruit and the color of the flowers. So abundant is the wild asparagus in the steppes of Russia that cattle eat it like grass, just as Italian sheep devour it's botanical cousin
