Some time after leaving Lngayen
Haffke heard that cholera had ravaged
the country OF the Ilocanos. killing hun
dreds OF them. Haffke later learned
that the King OF the Ilocanos and the en-
tire royal family had fallen victims to the
disease.
The laws Of the Ilocanos provided that
when there was no heir to the throne the
place should be filled by election, 80 for
six months the tribe attempted to elect
one OF number Of aspirants to the crown.
In this they failed, and at last the
natives tired OF the continual row.
About this time the court to which
Harke was attached came back to Lin
gayen for a term Of court-and Hafke
came with It. This is Haffke's story Of
what happened then;
After court one day l was sitting on

idea Of being made a king was something
to which ! hadn't given much thought.
Through the interpreter asked q
number Of questions as to how many
there were Of them; how large was their
country; how many cattle they had: what
they raised, &c. Then I said:

tell your people that l will come up next

uonand committee was appointed to pro-
vide suitable room in which to assemble
and to suggest such rules and regulations
for conducting their business as the COM
mittee deemed necessary The final
result OF this meeting says Moodys
Magazine, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities, the
Oldest record now in the archives of
the New York Stock Exchange. The
agreement reads as follows:
We the Subscribers, Brokers for the pur-
chase and Sslo OF Public Stock, do hereby
solemnly promise and pledge ourselves to
each other. that we will not buy or sell from
this day, for any person whatsoever, any
kind OF Public Stock at less rate than one
quarter per cent. commission on the specie
value. and that we will give a preference to
each other in our negotiations. In Testimony
Whereof we have set our hands this eth day

This organization had no local ha bita-
tion for conducting exchange business.
Like the curb brokers to-day, transactions
were carried on in the open air at q point
between the present numbers Of Bs and 10
Wall street, under a famous old button
wood tree that stood there with wide-
spreading branches which protected them
from the suns rays and ordinarily in
clement weather.
Business in those days was not rushing
and there was an air Of leisure and Quiet
about the gathering. Securities were not
active enough TO employ all the time Of the
brokers, 30 between times betting on the
results Of domestic and foreign political
controversies and dealing in merchandise
were included.
The first inside quarters Of the exchange
were secured in i7e3. when the Tontine
Coffee House, at the northwest corner of
Wall and William streets. was completed |
The old buttonwood tree was abandoned !
and the dignity of the brokers' organiza- /
ton was elevated by the change. The !
Tontine Coffee House was controlled by a |
company composed Of ?os sub |
scribers at $500 each organ as a Mer-
chants Exchange.

CHIEF WILKE
 GIVES TESTIMONY

{ Washington January 27.-What is described as one of the most thrilling 1 hearings of this session took place this afternoon in the rooms of the House committee on appropriations when the subcommittee in charge of the draft ing of the sundry civil appropriation bill had Chief wilkie of the secret service on the witness stand to furnish information concerning the conduct Of his office. He was freely questioned by the members whose names have figured in the secret service contro- versy with the President.
 MT. Wilkie objected to the limita tion of his service to counterfeit cases, but it is believed that the sub b-commlt- tee will recommend feature in the forthcoming bill similar to the one of last year.
 For more than three hours Mir Wik ie was piled with questions in regard to the secret service. The significant fact was brought out at the hearing that although the limitation placed upon the expenditure of the money for secret service last year in the appropriation bill reduced the number Of men em- ployed by the secret service under Chief Wilkie by nine. those same nine men were placed on the rolls of tho department of justice. The secret ser vice of the department of justice was described as consisting of 25 men in addition to the nine dropped by the treasury department secret service.
 Chief Wilkie stated that counterfeit ing had increased rapidly during the recent financial stringency, and that there was much need of an increase to $135,000 of the appropriation of $115000 of last year

Find a Way For Exercise

Many women say they have no time to take exercise; that they work all day and at night are too tired. If they would only stop to- think they would realize that from morning till night they are exercising their bodies but the question is do they perform the exercise correctly?
 When waking in the morning hold the lower part of the body risidly to the bed and raise the upper part of the body erect to the sitting posture. This is a splen- did exercise, and before very long one will be able to control the muscles so that the legs can be held quite flat.
 When dressing have the windows wide open and fill the lungs with the morning air.
 Every time you pick up something from the floor let the bending come absolutely from the hips and not the knees. This exercise will make the waist supple.
 If you walk to and from your work you have a splendid opportunity for exercise Keep the body straight, but not in a strained, unnatural position, the abdomen held in (not to an extreme}; the shoulders bacl, and the chest forward. Breathe deeply as you walk along.

Epilepsy, Fits

My son was cured of a very bad case of epilepsy with Dr. Miles Nervine."
 MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, o. My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now entirely well after taking Dr. Miles Nervine only four months"
 MRS. C. c. BENNETT,
 Alma, Mich. Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance and Spasms, are all nerv- ous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the rem edy. The best evidence you can get of it's merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re- turn your money.

ROOSEVELT PUTS
 VETO ON A BILL

Washington, January 27.-The Presi- dent today sent a message to the house, vetoing a bill which proposed to correct the military record of John 1T. Layne of Bradentown. Fla. a sol dier who was injured during the Span ish American war, while volunteering to help save government stores at Ponce, Porto Rico.
 The Presidents message was in part as follows:
 "The bill is highly objectionable be- cause it proposes to alter certain his toricaI records Of the war department which should be kept inviolate, and confers a favor without any warrant upon one special individual, not en- titled to such favor. It would estab- fish a demoralizing and vicious pre- cedent if enacted into law"

The Mothers Part


 So much has been said about the posi- ton that the mother should occupy with regard to her boy and his fights. when he arrives at that delectable age, that it would appear as if there is nothing left to say.
 Boys have to fight battles today as their fathers before them had to fight. The theory is exploited that boys should not fight but should mantan a friendly attitude to their little companions, and it is all very well; but it is mostly theory. For as long as there are boys they will have their little scraps and unfriendly scrapes, and the bully" can well be found in every crowd no matter where.
 Boys certainly should not fight merely for the sake of fighting. but a boy must protect himself and should be taught this from infancy
 This is the mothers part and should be well guarded. As soon as she begins to show sympathy for her boy just so soon she begins to make him effeminate.
 Reprmanding other boys for their bru- tality, siding with her own boy, telling him he must not resent things, and all that sort of thing brands him as coward ly with his little associates, and at once establishes for him an undesirable repu- tation.
 But if he is told that it is always best to avoid a fight if it can manfully be done, protect himself when it Is neces- sary, and go into fight which is honor- able, even if he must come out with few bruises and scratches, why then he will be worth while. The ''whimpering' boy who runs to his mother with every little grievance has a small chance in the game of life, and in after years the trou- ble is more than apt to be laid at doting mothers door.

To Prevent Smell Of Burning

If milk or anything cooking on a range boils over, burns and smokes, the disa- greeable smell can be prevented from go- ing through the house by lifting the lid of the range slightly to one side and let ting the smoke draw into the fire.
 Should the smell of burnt food permeate the house immediately put vinegar on to boil and the odor will be counteracted.
 Some housekeepers have scented waters in their kitchen. which the cook lights as soon as any cookery burns.
