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 vi 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 it 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, a Chicago
university woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
1t has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite like that
of the American Indian, but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yond that.

MansfieId's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk
Ing in New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
Mr.. Mansfield" said one, was a de-
lightful humoroist, a splendid racon.
teur in society, but at the same time
he had a certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
HE was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS, or
friends, any allusion to his badness.
We'll, one night at a party, q man
came up behind this great artist, stag.
gered him with violent slap on the
back, and exclaimed in loud, jovial,
familiar voice:
Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time l see you, you get balder and
balder'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
Hello he said. 4 don't know who
you are, but every time 1 see you you
Let ruder and ruder.'"

JUST WHAT he WANTED.
Surely Here Were Musical Tastes
Enough to Suit Anybody.

A gentleman of the most cultivated
musical tastes, wishing to change his
residence, advertised for rooms in a
private family fond of music" The
next mail brought him the follow
ing reply:
Dear Sir: think we could accom-
modate you with rooms, and as for
music one of my daughters plays the
parlor organ and gittar; another one
plays the ACCORDION and banjo; play
the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.
We all sing and If you are good at
tenner singing you would fit right in
when we get to singing gospel hinds
evenings, for none of us sings tenner.
Or if you plays the base vial we have
one right here in the house. IL you
want music as we'll as rooms and
board we could accommodate you and
there would be no extra charge for it.

A One-leaqed Athlete.

When Harry Haskins Smith OF this
city entered the Scranton athletic car.
nival the other day he was not regard
ed as a very formidable competitor by
the other boys, because he has but
one leg. When the carnival was over
he had all the honors that were dis.
tributed. Ground-gaining rolls, hand.
springs, headsprings, horizontal bar
work, all were performed by the one
legged youth.
When Smith was seven years old he
climbed under a freight train for a
baseball, and the train amputated one
leg.
He did not cry or faint, but said
Don't tell mother. She would worry"
He rides a bicycle well, and when he
uses his crutches, which he disdains
except when in hurry, he can run or
walk as fast as the average individual.
Smith has sunny disposition and
has never been known to pick" a
fight. When another boy is the ag-
gressor he can give good account Of
himself without using crutches or any
support. He is a clever boxer and
can sidestep and keep his balance on
one foot.-Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Dis.

FAMlLY'S SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Aztec
tons Affict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.

my wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. / myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. l now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
fleshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. H. b. Springmire, 1923

Model for Rest Of the Force.

While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being a strictly cold-water
town, she can. we believe, lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, If not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors, but he
has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was child. He is colored
man, was born in slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him, he re-
solved when boy to never drink any
thing but water. And he has reli-
giously kept the resolution. He is a
member of the Oil City police force,
and his name is Major Franklin
