CONTROL TEMPER

It IS said that a bad tempered woman
can cause more actual Unpleasantness
FOR the rest Of humanity than all the
other disagTeeable features one 1nds In
life. and the unIucky pOssessor of an
uncontrolled temper should remedy the
fault as soon as possible.
The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances
is the woman who holds the strongest
power over her fellow-creatures.
No matter how beautiful and clever
and fascinating the bad tempered WON
an may be, her power is inflnitesimaI
compared with that Of her amiable sis
ter.
And amiability Is not only power IL
is mental progression and health, and
happiness, and long life 20 ones self
and 10 ones friends and family.

PALE GRAY TONES
MUCH FAVORED

Gray is much worn. though not a her

The paler shades, such as pearl ana
silver, are the favored tones.
As a rule, gowns of this dainty color
show relief by way of a contrasting

CURED BY FALL.

Miss MabeIle RothweH, of Mt. Pulaski,

OF her aunt's residence in St Louis prob

she fell, injuring her hip in such a way
as TO cripple her painfully. Now, attend

located ali these years, and her recent
accident has left il in such condition

of Manila, Or the Mohammedan
Sulu Moro. There is also a strong
resemblance, mentally and morally
between the Malayan tribes. It is
interesting to note the influence
of religious belief upon people of
the same race. The Moros, being
Meslemi.es, are inspired with the
glory of battle. and among the
least civilized of them the Chris
tan in battle is much desired as it
gives the perpetrator of the deed a
title to a part of Heaven. Chris
tan Filipinos, ,on the other band,
are averse to violent crimes, and
particularly to the shedding OF hu-
man blood. The pagan Malavs,
tie Igorrotes, for instance, the
widest of whom believes in the
simplest forms Of spirit worship,
are much given to superstltlous
rites, many involving the shedding
of human blood. Among there
are the head hunters, who believe
that The killing of an enemy is not
accomplished uuless the head be
removed.

4 sired to 20 new and shorter road,
our guides assuring US that most
, of these people were subjects Of the
chief we had just left, and that,
therefore, we were safe. We were
travelling boldly and peacefully
ahead, when suddenly we were ush!
cred into strange village. We
lad hardly paused when some ro-
bust young men began to quarrel
violently with our guides for
bringing white men into that VIII
lage, some Of whose people had
sworn to kill the FIRST white man
who should ever set foot in it. Ac-
cordingly, some eight or ten men
ran hither and thither, getting
their guns and loading them with
powder and,shot. Presently, bang!
went q gun, the signal for the
shooting to begin. Then part of
the villagers began to gather
around US to protect us; for some
were glad to have us in the village,
while others were not. The men
with the guns gathered in a little
group TO shoot, but were boldly
and roughly resisted bv ourfriends,
who commanded us to sit down
while they stood up around US, lest
We should be shot upon exposure
Of our bodies. The rabble, being
out mum bered, feared to make an
open attack. But two of-.,tbem.
more revengeful than the rest, how
cred around the whole afternoon,
the one with gun, the other with
a big knife. Their purpose was to
wait till we, the two white men,
were alone, and then to swoop
down upon us,which in reality,they
once tried to do, myself being the
desired victim. We we told that
near relatives Of these two men
had been killed by State soldiers,
and their anger burned hot against
all white men, for they considered
all white men the same.
Night came on, and we laid
peacefully down to rest, thinking
all hostile attempts were ended.
We arose early, hoping to get off
before the sun was very hot. Be-
fore dawn there was heard in the
distance the beating Of a little log
drum, the natives call to arms. In
the still morning it had hideous j..
sound. We knew that another
effort was being made to kill us.
Our caravan was all ready to be
off, when, mile or two away, in
the direction we wished to 60,
gun was fired and the echo was
answed by another. Our guides at
once said that we were going to be
way laid, and that we must turn
back the way we had come. We
turned back and quickly, too, and
Travelled ss fast as it was possible
with loads. Presently it was dis
covered that we had turned back,
and then the murderers followed
us, now an then giving out hide
Gus veil. But we had good start
Of them, and heavy forest shell
tered US. We kept up steady
pace all that day till We reached a
safe place in which to he down.

(The following is taken from The

sisting the Congo State soldiers, re-
fusing to surrender, and making
war against he State when its Of
ficers attempted to enter bis do
mains. His whole present realm
has been effectually closed against
officers, traders, and missionaries
alike. Only an occasional mes
senger has been able to 60 in and
out Of his kingdom, and then at
considerable risk of his life. 1t is
known to be fact that the Portu-
guese traders OH the southwest bor-
ders have been supplying this chief
with improved rifles and ammuni-
ton in considerable quantities,
Hence, now he is much more for
midable enemy than in the early
days when he fought only with
spears, bows and arrows. When
these two young men tod US that
KaIamba had sent them to say to
that he desired to make peace, we
felt sure that the PRAYERS of Gods
peopIe for an open door into a
large territory had been answered.
The Young men assured US that
the notorious Kalamba wanted
"the people of God at Luebo" to
come and teach his people the Cos
pel; and they went so far as to ask
MS to return with them at once.
Urgent duties pressed us. We
could not then 60. But tie son
promised to meet us after
fourteen days at village near the
border line, and to lead us to his
fathers capitol. To this we agreed
and at the expiration of the set
time we were in the village ,Ddesig-
mated. But the young prince came
not. The fourteen DAYS increased
to twenty-five, and still he did not
come. We concluded, therefore. to
send messen ger Of our own into
the kingdom. This was a difficult
matter, for everv man feared to go
whittier he knew manv an intruder
had lost his life. After two days
of effort, however, two men were
persuaded to 90 inland, il but for
couple of DAYS at least. and there

capitol the letter which we gave
them.
