Uncle Sans Bare-Legged Soldiers

there were 4,130 men and 296 officers
at last report. This constabulary had
its origin in the Filipino scouts that
were organized during the war of oc-
cupation. The scouts readily adopted
the methods of the Americans and
showed themselves easily amenable to
discipline. With them as basis, the
force has been gradually increased un-
til members of the constabulary are
to be found in nearly all parts of the
island, and have come to be as much
depended upon to keep order as are
the American troops.
The Filipino boys are taken when
they know nothing of the English Ian
guage and little of civilized life. They
are provided with shelter and food
and get small wages. There is a
scramble to get into the service. By
nature these Malay Mongolian races
are great imitators. When they see a
thing done once they can come near
1t.
The Filipino is being found to be
an excellent fighter. There have been
instances when led by an American
officer these troops have charged for
titled positions with resulting death
percentage as high as 40 and have re-
fused to give up the charge.

Rhinoceros Tail Is Latest Gift to Bride

r HE tail of a rhinoceros for a we'd
/ ding present! That was the ex-
traordinary gift received by Miss
Mary Carlisle, leader Of the younger
social set, from Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, mighty hunter Of Oyster Bay.
The arrival at the Carlisle home on
l street Of strange looking package
from the Roosevelt village was not
told until the other day, although the
gift was received several weeks ago,
at the time of the wedding of Miss
Carlisle to Walter Howe, a young
lawyer of this city. Miss Carlisle
opened the package herself. feeling
that theNgreatest prize Of her record
breaking collection ofswedding gifts
was about to be revealed.
A little scream Of fright drew the
members of the family and servants
as black, peculiar object resembling
a snake rolled out on the floor.
"What on earth can it be?" the
household asked.
"It must have crept into the pack
age in the express offlce!" suggested
some one.
Then gradually the truth dawned.
It was no mistake. 1t was the gift Of
the great hunter-the brush of the
rhino"-the prize won in the greatest
of jungle battles.

London.-A rumor is published in an
evening paper that Captain Robert F.
Scott, the British Antarctic explorer,
has reached the South Pole.
Mrs. Scott declares she has heard
nothing from her husband and there
is no confirmation obtainable from
any source.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the
British Navy is at the head of an ex-
pedition which included sixty men,
twenty Siberian ponies, thirty dogs
and two motor-sledges, which left
England in July, 1910, on the Terra
Nova. His plans for the journey from
King Edwards Land to the pole in
sledge traction-ponies, dogs and mot
crs-and ponies were taken in suffi-
cient numbers to insure a thoroughly
adequate amount of food to the base
of Beardmore glacier. Stores suffi-
cient for three years were carried.
In January, 1911, Captain Scott and
his comrades went south to establish
depots, later returning to New Zeal
and. All through the summer it was
intended to make the final prepara-
tions for the last dash toward the
pole, which was to be carried out at
the end of the year.
Four other expeditions were recent
ly in the Antarctic, each of them with
a view of attaining the South Pole.
The most important of these is consid-
cred to be that of the Norwegian cap
tain, Road Amundsen, who utilized
the Fran, the celebrated polar ship
which DR.. Fridtiof Nansen used in his
explorations in the Arctic ocean from
1893 to 1896. Captain Amundsen left
Buenos Ayres toward the end of 1910.
Another expedition is that of the
Austrian, DR.. Mawson, who was one of
the members of the Shackelton expe-
dition. The vessel used by him is the
Aurora, which left Australia in Novem.

UTAH PRODUCTS SUCCESS.

Utah Products Week is getting on
tremen dously; it has been n big sue.
cess. The great feature of the exhibit,
OF course, is the home products of
Utah; and the sentiment which brought
these products together is the highly
proper and advantageous one of sup
porting home industries and using home
goods, always with the understanding,
OF course, that home goods are salts
factory, and that the prices are reason
able as compared with the price of like
goods brought in from the outside.
There have been various taking and
catchy features added to the Home
Products exhibit, such as the beauty
show, the baby show, and other attrac.
tions, all tending to make the exhibit
n popular and attractive one, and to
keep up tho interest for the week. In
the four days that have passed, the at
tendance has been very large, and the
found that the two days yet remaining
will be even more successful than the
four days of the past, because Of the
influx of conference visitors, and be-
cause OF the interest which the ex-
hibit itself is awakening among the
people.
Success to it, say we, II is n great
feature, commepdable feature, and
one that ought to appeal powerfully to
every home-loving person. 1t ought
also TO be a very powerful factor in
promoting the sale Of homemade goods
and showing to the people the advan-
tage OF using home products; and as
that is the precise object Of the exhibit,
the great purpose will have been at-
tanned when all the people are thor
oughly awake on this question.

shows that in many cases two persons

illustrates it bv the citation Of work

tested time after time during the dc.
bates, as when Smoot undertook to
state the price OF razors in this coun-
try, putting the price at from 50 to s.
for good razor, when he was put to
confusion by Senator Stone of Mis-.
souri, who showed that the stores in
st. Louis were selling the best of
razors for % cents apiece. 1t is pos.
sibIe that this incident may have led
Smoot TO see that ignorance is no match
for intelligence and practical informa-
ton in the consideration Of values, and
of the appropriate customs tariffs that
ought to be levied. With information
such as the Tariff Board supplies, no
Senator could possibly be caught in
such wild and inaccurate statements as
Smoot and other standpat Senators
were caught in during the progress of
the debate on the bunko tariff revision
of 1909
Undoubtedly, President Taft Will be
supported by the American people in
his plea for knowledge and good iudg

position that anything which would in

he so wired to Senator Fletcher at

that Mr.. Elliott could do, the revision
