According To The Letter.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
There are some literal-mlnded per-
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit Of the law, but who consider 1t
necessary to enter. into compromises
with the letter. Of such was an old
citizen Of Hopkinton, N. H., a good
many years ago, and his Juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr..
Lord in the records Of the town.
The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word,
but had no objection in going round
it. Once he wished to buy certain
tract of land, and when the owner
named the price he exclaimed:
Il won't give it! I tell you l will
never give it!' The owner did not
yield, nevertheless. A few days at
terward the old man called again. He
said nothing about the land, but STEP
ped into the owners barn and picked
up fail.
"What's that?" he asked.
THAT? Oh, that's fail y
$50 you call that fail, do youY
Well what would you take for it9'
The owner named very small sum.
Now III tell you what III do,'
continued the old man. ''l'n give

cling by train. On the opposite seat
was a man Of commanding figure,
massive brows and serious expression,
says Tit-Bits.
''What fine countenance, Arthur:
L wish [ knew his occupation
"Perhaps he's a lawyer, Edith. "
NO, he's not a lawyer. There :
too much benevolence in that face
for lawyer. He may be a bank

II am sure he is not! A man With
such a heavenly expression couldn' t
content himself with money getting
His aim in life is highes.''
"Well, do you think he can be an
editor?"
''An editor, with such a face! An
editor, saying hard things about
everybody, ridiculing women's dress
es and abusing mothers-in-law! An
editor, cutting and slashing his enc
mics, haying public men indiscrimi-
nately, and mercilessly slaughtering
his best friends for the sake Of a
paragraph! No, Arthur, he's phil
anthropist. His face plainly indicates
that he is all that is good, noble,
pure and true.''
At the next station an linguistic
old fellow took seat beside the man
with the noble brow, and asked him
his vocation. The couple opposite
held their breath. He replied:

get.
Another "juramentado'' affair
here last night resulted in the death
Of a private belonging to the Twen-
tieth Infantry and the woundlng OF
another. The two soldiers were sit
TING in front Of native house in the
suburban village Of Hulal talking
with an Eurasian interpreter employ
ed in the Office Of the governor when
a Moro stepped up in front Of them.
The interpreter instantly exclaimed,
"Juramentado,'' the dreaded word
which here keeps both Americans
and Filipinos in a constant state OF
fear.
AS soon as the word was spoken
one Of the soldiers drew his revolver
but, unfortunately, it was not load
ed. He was Immediately cut down By
the "barong" broad bladed parang
Of the ferocious Sulu and died soon
after. The second man then seized
the blade and after receiving some
savage cuts, succeeded in wrenching
it away from the savage, who then
took to fight and has not yet been
captured. This was decidedly un-
usual ending Of such an affair, the
Moro usually fighting as long as life
lasts, very rarely indeed taking to
fight.
Only few weeks ago when there
was a similar case Of ''juramentado'
a mounted sentry Of the Fourteenth
cavalry was attacked by Sulu arm
ed with a spear. The horse recelv-
ed a savage cut in the hip and the
sentry jumped down and shot the
Moro dead, escaping entirely unln-
jured. AS the island is now suppos-
ed to be at peace, this was consider
ed an exceptional instance, and no
special precautions were taken on ac-
count Of it.
The 'Fjuramentado" IS somewhat
different from the amok-runner, IN
that he acts withr premedltatlon.
Through family troubles as rellg-
ious fanatic, as slave Of some lead
er or priest, or for any Of hundred
and one other reasons he decides to
commit suicide by taking with him
into the next world the souls OF as
many Christian ''dogs" as he can.

the event. BE is annointed and shay
ed. the loss of his eyebrows being
especially noticeable. he dresses IN

ways the case. BE ties up certain
Of his organs in such way as to pro-
duee agonizing pains; this probably
to keep up his courage Then ne
makes for the American settlement
and fights till killed.
Owing to the extraordinary pre-
cautions which have been taken any
serious injury by one Of these men
has been very rare occurrence,
though a corporal was shot by ag1-
tated soldiers about three years ago
after having slain the "juramen-
tado.'' There is an abundance OF
sentries about the settlement. All
soldiers outside the lines are sup
posed to be armed with heavy revol-
vers or rifles, and many Of these sup
pGed with dumdum and ESdoetered"
bullets, for the Moro viii fight as
long as he can stand and does not
mind having a few holes in his body.
