Everyone gets up early, for sleep is

The people are passionaiely FOND OF

Manila. not more than half dozen
members out of the whole number be-

play by ear entirely. like our negroes
of the Southern states, yet their in
struments are always in perfect tune
and their playing is harmonious and
beautiful.
We had been told such alarming
things about Manila, and warned so
earnestly against indulging in various
edibes, that we entered the city in
fear and trembling. but we found the

tions. AT least there was good butter
and delicious bread, two things that
are not always found in places more
pretentious.
Mosquitoes were troublesome at
night but canopies over the beds
were ample protection, while the trade

that nowhere do people enjoy more
sound or refreshing sleep.
In the houses which have sliding
screens instead of windows little liz

along the walls and calling to each
other with a peculiar chuckling cry.

The Funny Things One Sees
Smiling Round the World
MARSHALL P. WILDER

The native women of Manila still
wear gay skirts. with separate piece
of dark goods folded over them like
paniers, or long wide apron of satin,
richly embroidered.
At first | thought wide-striped skirts
were worn in imitation of the Ameri-
can flag, until told that it was fash
ion that had prevailed for many years.
The women of the poorer class go
barefoot, and their skirts are abbrevi
ated in every way, their waists gen
orally slipping from one shoulder. and
their hair untidy when it is not hang
ing altogether loose, in thick. black
masses. The women Of all classes are
constantly smoking cigars or Gig
arettes. They carry the children
astride on one hip, instead of on the
back as in Japan and some parts Of
China.
One Of the funniest sights I ever
saw was scantily clothed Filipino
woman carrying boy about three
years old astride of her hip. He wore
a tiny green shirt. his only garment;
on his head an old derby hat was
jammed down to his ears; and, to
complete the picture. his mother took
cigar about eight inches long from
her mouth, while she chartered with
shopman, and put it in the boy s
mouth for safe-keeping.
The men are taking to foreign Gus
toms more rapidly, and numbers of

gauze undershirt beneath their outside
airy one of just. Some Of these ex,
quisite just shirts are so fine they are
a mere thought, and must certainly be
worn for ornament only, for they serve
neither as protection or covering. So
delicate is the thread that, in weav,
ing, it is protected by gauze from the
gentlest breeze.
The Chinese are the only industri
o,ls portion of the population and
practically control the retail trade
among the natives, Many of them are
married to Filipino women, who make
them good Catholics before they con
sent to marry them native woman

lucky, for she will then be assured OF
a living, as he will work for her and

What. Geography Good For?

This is from the philosophy of Mrs.
Louisa Schmitt, who berated teacher
for not promoting her daughter be-
cause the latter was deficient in geog-
raphy. Teacher. you don't know 1t
all, guess" said the irate Mrs.
Schmitt. Il wish 1t that my daughter
gets through school SO she gets a man.
Never mind about the geography;
Just promote her without 1t. Why,
my other daughter, she didn't know
geography and she got a man. And
you know all about geography and
you amt got any man at all. What is
this geography good for? See that my
daughter gets through school"

Yes. Now, Mr.. Langford. you who

you think you are asking this jury to

you ask them to believe that you could

poor ornery steer, who has SO little to
distinguish him from thousands of
others?"
Il have owned that spotted steer for
years." said Langford, composedly. Il
have never sold him because he was
rather an odd creature and SO can
tankerous that we dubbed him the

Gordon called Jim Munson.

The question was unexpected. Was
there any one in the county who did

After Langford had clearly de.

question, Gordon continued:
'Mr. Langford. when did you first
= miss this steer?"
> .On the 18th day of July last"
~" How did you happen to miss this
Sfeer?"
MY attention was called to the fact
that an animal answering this de-
scription and bearing my brand had
been seen under suspicious detention. :"
Prior to information thus received.
you were not aware this creature had
either strayed away or been stolen ?"
Il was not?'
Who gave you this information,
Mr.. Langford?"
George Williston of the Lazy s."
Now you may tell the jury in what
words Williston told you about the
steer he saw"
This, Of course, was objected to and
the objection was sustained by the
court, as Gordon knew 1t would be.
He only wanted the jury to remember
that Williston could have told dam
aging story had he been here, and also
to remember how mysteriously this
same Williston had disappeared. He
could not have Williston or Williston's s
story, but he might keep an impress
sion ever before these 10 men that
there was a story-he knew 1t and
they knew it-a story of which some
crotchet Of the law forbade the telling.
What did you do after your stten-

that you could have sugared your tea
with it, but as he stood there-his ear
bent forward to catch her usual play
full answer and his eye all ready to
feast upon her customary look of love
but as he stood there, l repeat, she
preserved a silence and all the con-
vnntionalities, and the shadow of
nameless dread lowered over his i'm

DO you think 1t will rain?" she

dread ceased to hover and settled
down forthwith. Rain? First you

me if it will rain," and making ter

"Ahl" he breathed to the night.
"she calls me 'JOhn'i"
And he sought to take her little
hand as though it were all right now.
why of course l call you john"
she said, keeping her hands to herself.
John, stop! l want to have a serious
talk with you"
"Serious?" said John, pausing in his
endeavors and slowly sitting back
with a worried, worried look between
his ears.
Yes, serious" she said. Now,
John, listen. Our conversation has
been too frivolous lately-O, awfully
frivolous, Light, you know, John, and
nothing to it." John made an eagerly
dissenting motion with his elbows.)
mo, John, really, there has been
nothing to it-and life is passing,
John We must talk of things more in
structive; you must teach me, and l
must teach you-if l can. There are
so many things we could talk about,
John instead of those-those awfully
frivolous things There's the Panama
canal i was reading about it this
morning Why, John, it's just wonder
full! And then there's Mars, and the
fleet, and the currency-John, you
must tell me all about the currency
question-and there's the Philippines,
and Tibet, and the SHAH and earth
quakes, and, o, ever so many things.
So let's be sensible from now on and
not waste our time like we have done.
Now, tonight John, suppose we talk
about derelicts.
"Derelicts?' gasped John. "Dere-
licts?'
Eyes; ocean derelicts-I was read
ing about them all afternoon. John,
did you know that computation
made by the hydro graphic office"
(she coughed with pride) shows that
1923 derelicts were sighted upon the
north Atlantic ocean within a period
of seven years?"
John said nothing. 0n e
Eyes" she answered, "and inasmuch
as the average term of survival for
a derelict is one month, it is estimated
that at least 19 must be constantly

John sighed.
