While shopping In London an American
school teacher was very much taken with
a pair of beautiful lace curtains. The

saleswoman, II VIII see If j may give you

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts of opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told OF them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians.
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given a song or
a poem to learn and they will study
and dream over 1t for hours, but give
the Bogobo a problem In arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes i'll and
wants to go home.
Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao
district, is Miss Benedict, Chicago
university woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
It has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite Nike that
of the American Indian, but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yond that.

prophecy OF Nathan spoken at
the time of David's great sin,
when he declared that "the sword
shall never depart from thine
house," and "Behoid, will
raise up evil against thee out OF
thine own house,"
The sins Of the fathers are
visited upon the children as the
inevitable outworking of the
natural law of cause and effect.
II is as true to-day as In the
days OF David.
David could not violate the
moral law without It's exerting
a hurtfuI influence upon the
members Of his household. His
example proved demoralizing.
His yielding to the lusts Of the
flesh encouraged a like indui.

such reckless violation Of paren-

Does that mother think that she
