MARKET GARDEN TYPE.
New Style of Auto Suitable for
Carving Farm Produce.

One OF the first cable pictorial de-
scriptions Of the useful war automobile,
as shown in the illustration, has just
came to hand. This is a special farm
ers type. 1t can be constructed in any
small power, for jogging along pur-
poses, from 30 to 120 horse. A special
feature of interest to market gardeners
is the ability Of the wagon to run for
twenty minutes after having the tires
riddled with bullets, which makes 1t
thoroughly practical. 1t is entirely
bomb-proof when beyond the range Of
the enemy's guns. A starting crank"
is fitted in front, but "the machine can
be started automatically from the
lrivers seat" where the principal crank
is supposed to be located. "On the top
of the rear portion of the box" the
specifications read, 'is a turret from
which projects a Hotchkiss gun which
can be trained in any direction"-upon
competing market gardeners" A special
quality of steel has been employed for
armor." At 800 yards Lebel bullets
fail to pierce, but glance OFF, thus in
suring adequate protection to loads Of
eggs, live shoats and other tender vege-
tables.
THE machine carries two steel rails,
which can be quickly unshipped and
placed across a ditch" This feature
is OF great import to the average tiller
of soil, as it means that If the machine
becomes frightened or unmanagable
due to the sudden appearance of horse
men or the fight of birds, and jumps
bitches or fences, 1t can be quickly got
ten back into the road, and sped along

for the early morning market. The
cost of this little delivery wagon Is only
5000; which of course places 1t with
in the reach of any farmer and every
editor of a paper--that is if he happens
to be close enough so that he can touch
it. It is estimated that If all the
garden and farm produce could be
marketed by means of this simple and
inexpensive device the cost to the city
consumer would not BE- increased over
2Q0% at the most

c-aa+ Chief ,Ioseph.

In the war which followed, Joseph
led his little band, as only a great gen.
eral could lead them, but; the Nez
Perces never had a chance to win.
Joseph surrendered to General Miles,
and for years the tribe was moved back
and forth over the country regardless
of promises made when they sur
rendered. After one of Joseph's visits
to Washington, where he met the Pres
ident, the Cabinet officers, and num-
erous Congressman, he remarked:
"They all say they are my friends, and
that l shall have justice, but while
their mouths all talk right, l do not
understand why nothing is done for
my people. / have heard talk and
talk, but nothing is done. Words do
not pay for my dead people. They do
not pay for my country overrun by
white men. 1t makes my heart sick
when l remember all the good words
and all the broken promises. You might
as we'll expect the river to run back
ward, as that any man who was born
free should be contented, when penned
up and denied liberty, to go where he
pleases.
Pathetic Plea for Freedom.
"Oh let me be a free man! free to
travel, free to stop, free to work, free
to trade where / chose, free to choose
my own teachers, free to follow the
religion of my fathers, free to think
and talk and act for myself-and will
obey every law or submit to the pen
atty"
Gradually as the years passed away
Joseph grew to understand the hope
llessness of achieving his hearts desire
Ia return to Wallowa, though he nevei
ceased to make his plea for justice
When the end came a year ago, he wa'
surrounded by the remnant of his band
who stood beside his deathbed in silen
grief.
On the goth Of September last, thes'
same devoted members of the trib'
stood around the grave of Joseph ant
listened to the funeral address deliv
cred by his successor and friend. Oh
this occasion a monument was unveiled
Ia most unusual Indian ceremony.

through them, that he had to stop to
tune up several times. Just previous
to one OF these q picture which was
suspended at the far end OF the room
came tumbling down without warn
ing. Many OF the superstitious turn
ed white with fear, but a scientific
man in the room went to some length
to explain that the fall OF the picture
had been caused by vibration OF the
wire set up by a note OF a particular
pitch made by the cello. He stated
that every stretched string has some
particular musical pitch which VIII
set It vibrating. To emphasize his ar
gument he asked the performer 10
strike different tones and in a short
time other pictures in the room were
set vibrating so violently as TO make
the movement perceptible to the eye.
The 'celloist also succeeded in set
ting up vibrations on a piece or glass
ware on the mantel, which caused 1t
to give out a musical note.
Affected Building Foundations.
A couple OF days after President
Roosevelt's inauguration, last March,
the whole body OF Rough Riders from
Minnesota called on Secretary Taft In
the magnificent State. War, and Navy
Building. Accompanied by their brass
band of some fifty or sixty pieces they
lined up before Secretary's Offlce
and with ragtime music serenaded the
Secretary. Upon J airing the music
the superintendent of the building at
once asked the leader to refrain from
playing any more in the building as
there was a tendency to weaken the
buildings foundations. In fact, i'm
this instance, the vibrations set forth
were plainly perceptible, not only TO

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 2S.-
People who are Interested in the cd.

much satisfaction tho reports which
! have come from the Superintendent
of Education in the Philippines.
1t is believed that the Moro Is per.
fectly capable of adapting himself to

such IL system is as cminently adapt
able 10 his development and train.

government Is. however. essential:
without this no Moro pupil can be
expected to seek a new aud radical
fy different form of education. The

out of place in quiet orderly
schoolhouse.
The whole atmosphere of a
public school Is new and strange to
him. But strange us they may be,
he soon gets accustomed 10 his new
surroundings, and as he beglngs to
understand English he takes to it
with fun interest anu develops ST.
milar aptitude and ncllnations to
hose which characterize the Chris.
tian Filipino.
His surroundings. however, ana
the life he lends do not in any way
render him as receptive and adapt
able to such Instructions as music
but the natural aptitude Is there, ana
little patience and perseverance on
the part of the teacher are found to
bring good results. s
About four hundred Moro bows at

The course of instruction given Ia
the boys does not differ from the
general course In any particular
whatsoever, except That 1t provides

publication Of two Moro readers has
been of great help to the depart
ment.
The study and instruction of Moro
have thus been defined and faciltat-
cd and reduced to n method that can
be conveniently conducted in har.,
mony with the general system A
demand for these readers from per.

FIELD TAXES MILLIONS.
Board of Review Gives Cooa County
$4,000 00-interest For 7 Years.

Observation-Disclosures For Years.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-The threa.
cornered controversy between the
Board of Review, the executors of
the Marshall Field estate and the
city Corporation Counsel's office
came to an end yesterday when the
taxing body decided that the Field
estate should be taxed on a total of
$1sO,0o00O0 this year, including back
taxes.
The decision means that the exc
cutors of the estate will be cumpell
ed to pay the county $4,000, 900.
which is more than the total amount
of property on which Mr.. Field was
taxed during the last year of his
life.
The greater part of this great sum
Is TO come from the collection OF
back taxes, on which Mr.. Field is
held by the board to have escaped
payment. The members of the board
estimated the back taxes without any
authentic figure to guide them.
F. w. Upham, president of the
board. held that the board Should
fix the amount Of property upon
which taxes had not been collected
since 1890 at an average of $4,000
600 year, amounting to 100000,
600 for the seven years To this
sum will be added 1 per cent. inter
est fixed by law, to be collected in
all cases of this kind. This interest
amounts to si32,9O0. The personal
property upon which the estate will
be compelled to pay taxes for this
year was placed at $25,000,000.
