She is enshrined in my heart,
A treasured memory.

And will have-till die.
When boar frost decks the trees, and all

Upon her name / softly call
She dearly loved the snow.
And when spring comes with all its fow-

And birds for gladness sing,
And joyous are the sunny hours,

as a churn in which to agitate, work up

wATERMELoNS AND MORALITY.
Desire for Beer Is at Its Lowest Ebb In
Texas.


"Our Sundays now show a large de-
crease In the number of jags," said Sergt
John Fitzhenry at police headquarters.
"Have you thought of the reason for
this? There is Il reason for it and
only tumbled upon it the other day
Look at the records for the past mouth
and see if what | tell you IS not true as
to effect Now as to the cause. 1t is
simple | don't know whether the min
listers and the saloon men realize it or
not, but the watermelon as a moral fac
tor is equal to ten policemen.
How do | know? Simply by study
ing causes and effects. We can see the
effects here of some cause which has
decreased the number of Sunday jags.
There is just as much beer to be had,
just as much made, It's just as cold
and tastes Just as good as ever. Men
like 1t as well now as they did in April.
They have the same means of getting it.
but they don't drink as much. Why?
Because they eat watermelons. There's
nothing so cooling ns II watermelon off
the ice. II stakes the thirst us we'll as
anything else, and after eating Il large,
juicy slice no man will have any desire
left for a cold frothy stein, no matter
what his tastes may be. This is a fact
THE watermelon is the only fruit
know Of which asserts positive moral
influence to such an extent that it will
show on the records of the police de-
partment. Take the classes of people
who usually pay us a visit, and a fine,
too If they get drunk. They can get a
good melon for 10 cents and they prefer
that to beer. Hence we have fewer
jags, fewer visitors and collect less
money in fines. Put the watermelon
down as positive moral factor and you
will make no mistake. San Antonio

UNCLE SAM TO HIS BEST GIRL.

Note The Yankee schoolmarm has become
a power in the Philippines
Here's to the best of my very best
To the girl with the spirit to
Pull out from the old things of the West
And go to the East and the new;
To take to the youth of the Orient
Her Yankee ways and the heart
To teach them what
kid has got
To tackle to get start
The Schoolmarm follows the flag, and she
Is the emblem of star spangled tyranny
Her scepters switch, and where she
rules
The little and big must obey;
She bosses the best in the white mans
schools,
And the yellow must come her way.
She will show to the kids of the Orient
The paths in which they should tread;
And if they shy,
Her switch will fly
Till their yellow skins are red
Is the emblem of star-spangled tyranny.
She steps straight out, prepared to go
forth
In her country's cause and its name;
She comes from the South, she comes
from the North.
But she's Yankee just the same:
And she goes to the far-off Philippines
With her mind made up to guide
Those Philippine youth
To the light and TRUTH
Or take it out of their hide.
The schoomarm follows the flag, and she
Is the emblem of star-spangled tyranny.

Citations of ideas, which one philosophical
school holds to be the foundations of
reason. In the late contest trained
learned" animals We're not rewarded.
The Judges consider that trick perform
ing creatures, taught by laborious and
often cruel methods, do not thus show
real intelligence. Dozens of dogs which
went through rifle drills, cats which
Jumped through hoops, and fowls which
danced the polka, were sent up to the
show. but, much to the surprise of their
owners, took no prizes. The silver gilt
first medal went to a Japanese dog,
which gave a different bark and made a
different gesture to express various
wants: for instance, putting its paw up
to its jaws with a peculiar yapping when
it was hungry 1t thus showed undouht-
ed capacity for forming associations of
ideas. The silver second medal was
slowed jointly on a dog. cat and "a
hen, which played absolutely like chill
dren with their mistress. She had a
game of football with them in the pres
ence of the judges, and the animals en-
loved it thoroughly, whereas the idea OF
play and make believe is often sup
posed to be peculiarly human.

GAMBLING AID TO INDUSTRY.
Filipinos Wouldn't Work Till They Had a
Chance to Get Rid of Money.

Victor S. Clark. in his report on labor
conditions in the Philippines, states that
Incidence in the interior is usually due
to the fact that the laborer cannot make
use of the money he earns. He tells of a
novel device adopted by an American
officer to remedy the difficulty. This
officer he says, needed labor in order
to carry out certain necessary public i'm
provements. He engaged sixty natives
for this undertaking at stipulated wage
scale of 30 cents silver currency 0212
cents American currency a day. The
first day all the men deserted, because
a rumor got around that the Americans,
like the Spaniards, would not pay them
for public work of this character. The
men were persuaded to return to work
and were paid their full wages regular
~, as promised. AS soon as money be-
gan to circulate among them the agents
OF the nearest DattoS and Sultan came
into town i'll order to get the money
away from the workmen on various
pretenses. AS this discouraged the i'll
dustry of the laborers, all such agents
We're expelled from the district and not
allowed to return. This measure result
ed in something of a local boom, and
families of MOros at once pulled up
stakes and moved into the post in order
to be free from the official eXactions Of
their chiefs. When they had a little
money ahead, however, the men began
to stop work, as they had nothing to
spend it on but rice. The commandant,
considering the vice of idleness as repre-
hensible as any other, and casting about
to create a constant demand for money
among his workers, took his cue from
what he saw going on about him, and Ii
censed two gambling houses at 500 sill
yer currency ($42 American currency
month each. After that he had an
ample supply of excellent laborers, who
worked regularly without persuasion and
required little supervision, except for di-
recting their work. When their engage
ment was finished they came around to
the commandant, asking that some other
paying employment be found for them.
The officer who related the experience
remarked in all candor: 1T only re-
ouires a little diplomacy to make these
people Industrious San Francisco
