/ which every one buying lot and
owning house had to pay, a practice
which continued for ever a hundred
years. His daughter, Henrietta de-
scribed as a gifted woman, changed
the name of this pretty spot to Els.
perance
On the hill above Esperance is an
old stone Presbyterian church whose
exact date is not known. But there
is tradition connected with it which
goes back until it was vivid mem,
Org in the minds of men. During the
Napoleonic wars, a soldier OF France
wandering westward with his wife
and babies to find home came to
the pretty hamlet on the Schoharie
and decided to stay. The man did
not live long, and soon passed out Of
mind and memory, for neither he nor
his wife could talk a word of Eng.
lish, SO they made only a few ac-
quaintances and fewer friends.
Left alone the widowed woman
lived in a little house on the out.
skirts Of the village, planting her
garden, raising chickens, and manag
ing in her frugal French way to live
Perhaps she went to the town, gaunt
and hungry, to pick up some odd
work or to ask for some relief. At
any rate she could not talk English
and was mysterious. They called her
the Grenadier woman" and before
long some misfortune was laid to her.
SO that the townfolk came to look
upon her as a witch.
This sealed her fate. In solemn
conclaye in the church her death was
voted, and she was shot with silver
bullets nodded from teaspoons some
one had brought from down east The
men chosen for the task peered in at
her cabin window, and saw her cook
ing in front Of the open fire. Two
little children were playing on the
floor beside her when they raised
their clumsy guns and fired.
She was buried with stake
through her head, and an evergreen
tree was planted to mark the spot.
One of the boys who remembered the
occurrence lived to be past ninety
years Of age and told it to the lase
with all the vividness Of youth, point
ing out where her cabin stood and
often visiting the tree. This man was
appointed postmaster by Andrew
Jackson and removed by Grover
Cleveland in 1885.

began to complain bitterly that no medicine was
being put his sores. But the effect of the
drug soon manifested itself, and he went about
town excitedly demonstrating his improved con
dition to all who would look. Some days later he
disappeared and the doctor was much disap
pointed because he wanted him for object
lesson to convince others of the efficiency Of the
treatment. To the great surprise of the hospital
staff he turned up again afterward with thr
teen other sufferers from "yaws, whom he had
brought distance of fifty miles from his native
village, in order that they also might be cured.
In Benguet the wild people are building school

In which the pupils not only make cloth but
manufacture articles of clothing for sale. Baguio

point by no means to be lost sight of is the
fact that these wild people of Luzcn are not saw

travel has been nearly completed all
the way from Southern Benguet to the
extreme northern end of LuZon. Tele
graph and telephone lines are being
extended over hundreds of miles of ter.
ritory,s and the watch towers on lofty
peaks, hitherto occupied by native sen.
tinels on the alert for raiding bands OF
head-hunting foes, are deserted.
At Bontoc Capital of the sub-prov-
ince of the same name), wonderful
improvements are being made. Here
where half a dozen years ago no white
man could have ventured without an
armed escort, the men and boys are
being taught brick-making and lime
burning. A deposit of magnificent
clay for the purpose was found near
the river, with unlimited quantities of
sharp sand suitable for building near
by; also limestone. Today the people
of the entire village OF Minac in that
neighborhood, are burning lime and
furnishing it to the government of
Bontoc Province. They are becoming
independently rich at the business.
These facilities, with unlimited la.
Dor obtainable for nothing under the
system of the ten-day tax, make build
ing work exceedingly cheap. A large
brick school house and a brick club
house. as well as building for the
offices of the provincial government,
of stone and brick, have been put up
at Bontoc; also prison for wild folk
who misbehave themselves, and
small, but thoroughly up-to-date. hos
pital A canal has been constructed
incidentally to furnish the town of
Bontoc with an abundant supply of
pure mountain water.
It is expected that the hospital will
be of inestimable usefulness. Most Of
the wild people seem heartily willing
to give up their ancient custom of
curing physical ailments by human
and animal sacrifices, and come to the
doctor showing touching confidence
in the ability of the white man to give
them help. Packages of simple rene
dies, with small pamphlet of directions
in English and the more important ma,
tive dialects, are distributed among
the villages; likewise large quantities
of quinine and other safe and useful
drugs.
A recently discovered drug has been
found to be specific for the very un.
pleasant tropical disease called
