The Arbitrator at Work.

He was a man Of peace, and, of
course. he had on more than one occa-
sion paid the penalty of peacemaker.
He came upon two youths in an Irish
back street fighting. Accordingly he
pushed through the crowd anG persuad-
ed the combatants to desist :.
Let me beg Of you, my good fellows,
earnestly besought the peacemaker: TO
settle your dispute by arbitration Each
of you choose half dozen friends to ar
bitrate."
'.Hurrah!' yelled the crowd. DO as
the gentleman sez, bhoys."
Having seen the twelve arbitrators Sc
lected to the satisfaction OF both sides
the man of peace went on his way re-
ioicing in the thought of having once
again prevailed upon brute force to yield
TO peaceful argument.
Half an hour later he returned that
way and was Mortified to find the whole
street fighting, while in the distance po--
lice whistles could be heard blowing and
constables seen rushing to the spot from
all quarters.
"Good gracious! What is the matter
now?" asked the peacemaker.
''Shure. sorr." was the reply. the ar
bitrators are at work. "-Tit-Bits.

Wrecked Vessel.
Capt. Carlos Krebbs, commander of
the steamship Dalupaon, reports that
last Sunday afternoon about 8 o'clock,
while en- route from Tudela to Iligan, the
ship sighted four Filipinos clinging to a
submerged banca surrounded by school
of sharks, which, even after the vessel
had come alongside, persisted in lowering
about the banca. The four men upon be-
ing picked up related a terrible tale of
suffering and agony. They stated that
they had left Basac, Negroes, bound for
Rarili, Cebu, and that on Saturday they
ran into heavy weather which caused
the banca to fill, sinking to the water
edge and washing away their food and
drink
Shortly after that the weather cleared.
leaving these poor mariners under the
glare of a tropical sun. Then the sharks
appeared, and to the agony of thirst and
the pangs of hunger was added the ter
rife fate of becoming a morsel for a
sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief and every
vestige of hope was gone when they
sighted the Dalupaon.-Cebu Courier.

ENEMIES OF ARIZONA CHICKENS.
Bullsnakes and Big Frogs Get Into the
Poultry Houses

About four days ago L. t. Clifford,
who owns fine lot of poultry, was out
in the yard engaged in doing the chores
when he heard an unusual connection in
his hen house. On opening the door and
lighting up the building he was aston
ished to see large bullsnake lying in
the middle of the floor with its body
eoiled around two chickens, which were
yet alive
Mr.. Clifford struck at the reptile, land
ing a blow on its head, when it i'm
mediately frightened its coils and crushed
the chickens. The snake measured be-
tween 31a and feet n length.
On Saturday evening the owner was
again disturbed by a noise among his
fowls, and this time the cause for alarm
in the hen house was made by a large
frog who had just finished making an
evening meal of one of the broilers. Mr..
Clifford killed the frog.-Arizona Repub-

Likes Taft.

Here is what NJ. Tardieu has to say
of Secretary Taft:
He is the type of the good giant, as
the imagination likes to conjure him up.
With his light hair parted in the middle,
his luxuriant light mustache, his clear
and frank eyes, his air of serenity and
calm, he inspires confidence and attracts
sympathy. If he has adversaries, it is to
circumstances, not to himself, that he
owes them.
Conversing with the French Journalist,
Mr.. Taft said:
/ agree in everything with the President
II am elected my policy will be absolutely
the same as his. As a man, / approve OF
that policy: as a President, l also snail
apDroye of it.

Impressions of Presiden

follows:
In any case, with his faults, which are
small. and his good qualities, which are
eminent, he is a statesman of the first
order. He has a moral conscience without
which action is sterile. He has cOmbative
energy, without which thought vacilates.
He knows what he wants and does what
he says he will do. He is thoroughly sane,
and has no fear of irony. He has the
courage of his opinions Like all Ameri-
cans, he believes with all his heart in
equality But he understands. that author
ity is necessary. In spite of the attacks
which he has provoked, he has the con
fldence of the nation. For a democracy he
is a leader-of excellent quality.
