ment of SnIu MOros.
 Indianapolis News.
 Tn a fight with the Moros this week, our troops killed 500, wiping out as U is said, a whole tribe. The American ioas was at least fifteen killed and hf- tv ar sixty wounded. The fight was n necessary. and our soldiers showed courage and resourcefulness. But what ia to come of it all? In discussing vesterday's. dispatch from General Wood. MT. Longworth saidi
 'The inhabitants of the island are entirely uncivilized. being Monamme. dans and religious antics of the most pronounced type. They have no militia ry organization and their fights are all inspired by religious beliefs At any 4irae priest among any of the noun tain bands can inspire an uprising. then q swoop on the lowe rcountry VIII pc made. The belief that if killed In bat lie. they will go directly to heaven,l makes them desperate and anxious 10 light to the death"
 Confirming what Mir Longworth eavs General Corbin tells us that the Moros are religious fanatics. "are llaole to cause trouble at any time. ana that mo man can tell what the Moros are going to do." In the March Allan lie. is a very interesting article by Major R. L. Ballard. in which he tells ofsour work in Preparing Our Moros for Government" He shows that some- thing has been accomplished. MsJor RuIIard says, among other things, that a kin and burn policy can never succeed with the Moros, can do noth- h1g moro than destroy them. And 4his because with the Moros "it is revenge, al eye for an eye, to the end of time, without regard to how justly he who first lost an eye deserved to lose it." If this is so, the killing or 500 will at least not help us in our work with the Moros.
 But we refer to The Atlantic article for the purpose of calling attention to an interview between on Of tn Sul- tans and Major Bullard Here is what was said.

 Thus reinforced, General Evans
 moved across the plain and took up an
 advanced position. which he must hold against i5,00O Federals. A dreadful
 conflict of an hours duration ensued
 In the meantime, General Sherman had
 crossed the Bull Run and was threat

 now seemed inclined to the Federals
 The Confederates began to waver some

 fered terribly. was just on the verge Of
 being overwhelmed by the mere mass and weight of the vastly superior num-

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Brlght's Disease,
It Is Easily Durable Tn the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to h1man life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney ana liver remedy on the first abpeGYaHce of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- ton of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious per. haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Priclsly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease IS yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely followshould the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defied their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and 1t has shown it's superiority overthe many so-cal1ed kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merable.

Tat and Lean Men.

Minneapolis Journal.
 Modern scientific investigation in medical way now declares that the plump man is not necessarily the ''heathiest" or the best able to resist disease. The lean man not only en- joys greater resistance to weakness and debility. but he Is stronger in the performance of given task. In other words. a large fat deposit in the gem eral tissue Is no evidence of good gem eral nutrition. The rich and girlish beauty of the plump man. sometimes called Fatty may delight the eye. but when it comes to walking down town in the morning or running four blocks to a fire, Fatty blows out a fuse and is sent to the repair shop while his .lean brother is merely put into con dition for the day by this litte burst of exercise,

A SUCCESSFUL pLo11ER.


Bob and Joe are accountants in
q I.asalle street insurance office.
They had been on borrowing terms
xith each other for more than q
year till an unlueky day when they
quarreled- After that day neither
would speak to the other.
Just what was the cause of the
quarrel their companions in the Of
fee did not concern themselves
about. For many weeks the two
worked at their books side by side
and occasionally shot murderous
glances at each other.
At first amusing TO the other men
in the Office, the situation became
intolerable. for all the employees
were on friendly terms one with the
other. and the estrangement of Bob
and Joe seemed TO hang over their
part of the counting room like u
cloud.
Then up rose peacemaker III
the person of Tom, the Office boy.
This Young person, actuated more
by spirit of mischief than by the
more worthy motive of bringing
about a cessation Of hostilities, rat
tied of on typewriter two identic-
al notes" like those that were sent
to Russia and Japan. One was ad-
dressed to Bob, apparently by Joe,
and the other to Joe, as If written

Don't YOU think this thing has
gone far enough: We are working

friends. IL it will do any good, /

you read this act just the same AS
though nothing had happened-and

wonder if they'll fight now"
mused the Office boy as he addressed
two envelopes and placed copy Of
the note in each. After Bob and
Joe had gone for the day the young
plotter placed the envelopes on the
two desks. where they would be
found in the morning.
Bob was first to arrive AT the of
fee the following day. When he
read his note he smiled and com
menced 10 whistle softly. Then in
came Joe. He read his note,
chuckled and went to work. Pres
emily he glanced up, caught Bob's
eye and said;

Squire Lord. of local fame in Ef-
fingham, \. H., in the last century
had accumulated, by all sorts Of
methods, fortune for the times
and place. Keeping the country
store, being practically the bank"
of those parts and increasing wealth
beyond expenditures, had nourished
an ambition TO live in a place larger
and with more social opportunities
than the little village afforded. So
he packed up one autumn. took a
house in Portland. which was the
town of the world to country people
then. and, with his family, started in
10 cut a dash.
To his chagrin he found he was
one Of many in that place. and not
u scrape or bow was coming his way.

baggage, in EfIingham, and that
evening in his store, to the inquiry
of one of the village loafers, why'd

Taken in the morning early an
orange acts very decidedly as a lax
