''GOO0O MORNING
MRS. KELLY"

Some interesting experiences of
the first days of school teaching
the Philippines. says the Spring.
field Republican, are given by
Alice M. Kelly, in the Manila
Times. She went among the
Igorrrotes in November, 1901, so
that she can easily be considered a
veteran. The natives are frighten-
ed at the sight of an American
woman, and not, even priced
dainties like sardines could bring
them to her . They spoke no
English Or Spanish, and she not a
word of Igurrote.
But she resolved to break this
silence, and, catching one old man
who could not run, she repeated
over and over again Good morn
ing, Mrs. Kelly" till at last, to
escape, he repeated the words
after her. Not long after she
heard that Americans we're being
greeted, regardless of sex, with a
CHEEKY Good morning, Mrs.
Kelly"
And, oldest Of all, in a court
room several Igorrotes solemnly
walked up to the judges bench
and, bowling deeply said, Good
morning Mrs. Kelly" evidently
well satisfied that they had done
the correct thing. The school
which Mrs. Kelly founded has be-
come the Bua school.

BIRD LEO BATTLE HOST

Old Abe probably was the most
famous eagle that ever wore
feathers. says the Christian Herald.
He was a genuine eagle, and
handsome specimen Of his kind.
His authentic history apparently
begins with the day in 1861 when
Chief Sky, q Chippewa Indian,
made him prisoner on the Flambeau
river in Wisconsin. Sky sold him
to white man for bushel of
corn. The man who paid the corn
for him sold him in turn for SIS to
Mr.. Mills. Mills made a present
of him to company just about to
start out, for the war, Company c
of the Eighth Wisconsin. No time
was lost by them in naming this
winged inspiration after the man
in the White House. Old Abe the
bird became. and Old Abe he stay
ed till his death years after.
They carried him alongside the
colors on perch at the end Of a
staff. The army soon came to
know Them as the "eegle r,gi-
ment." Beginning with Farming
ton, Miss, the eagle and his
followers went through thirty-six
battles. He was wounded before
Cori.it and again at Vicksburg.
1t is said that at Corinth the Con-
federate marksmen made special
efforts to kill Old Abe, at the
direction of General Price. 81
would rather have him than
whole brigade. Price is said to
have remarked, such was the
eagles value in encouraging the
Il oops.
Old Abe stayed with his command
until it was mustered out in 1864.
In:September, Lewis. the Wisconsin
war governor, formally accepted
him on behalf of the state. Old
Abe was exhibited at the Chicago
sanitary fair that winter, and his
history, published in a pamphlet,
brought $4,000 for the sick
soldiers.
It is pleasant to record that he
lived long and happily afterward.
He was mu"h in demand at
conventions and veterans reunions.
He died ii March, 1881. as q result
Of breathing smoke at the fire of
the Madison capitol. eonard w.
