TINCLE SAM has in his army some
- thousands of little brown men Of
the mid-Pacific, who approximate all
grades of civilization and lack of it
and who are well typified by the ac-
companying illustration, which shows
che Philippine soldier in the course OF
being transformed. A year before this
picture was taken these men were
wild In the woods, with nothing but a
breechclout in the way of clothing.
They have advanced to a stage where
they take great pride in their caps
and coats, but still refuse to adopt the
trousers and shoes. A year later,
however, they will be found as fully
equipped as is their captain, shown in
the foreground.
The Philippine constabulary, Of
which these men are a part, is now a
little more than 5000 strong, includ-

COLD COMFORT FOR MOTHER
Comment of Boston Belle on Young
Mans Conduct Was Icy in the
Extreme.

General F. d. Grant, at a Wash
toms birthday dinner in New York
some years ago, told a story about a
young Boston Tory.
This Tory" he said, fought during
the Revolution neither on one side nor
on the other. He took a pleasure trip
on the continent, and he didn't come
back home again until the war was
over. "a
He was treated very coldly by soci-
ETY. on his return, and this grieved his
good old mother to the heart.
THE dear old lady tried to explain
the matter one afternoon to a Boston
BELLE
Naturally, as the head of the fam
fly,' she said, my son could not take
part in the war. To him fell the duty,
perhaps the more arduous duty, of
protecting his mother and sisters and
looking after the interests of the es-
tate.'

an icy smile, you need not explain.

your son did-Tm such a coward!'"

But SteenerSon, who stands six feet

Percberon, or a traffic cop, and the
Indians belt lacked about five inches

The chief muttered something that
made all the Indians smile, though
they were not due to smile until to-
ward the end Of the following month.

rot sail the other day for Brazilian
ports. Nor was 1t the fault OF Edwin
Moore, the mate negro that of Steve
Jackson, a negro seaman, lately de-
ceased. The blame really belonged tc
the ghost Of the said Steve Jackson.
The Annie Smith, with her general
cargo slowed away, her clearance pa
pers signed, her sails ready to be set,
was unable to cast off, because Cap.
tain Foote could find no mate to sail
in her.
And if you speak to Captain Foote
and your conscience and your constt-
tuition can weather oaths that will
make your hair stand on end, you
will learn that when Steve Jackson
slipped his cable with knife stuck
in between his ribs, he carelessly al
lowed his ghost to roam at random
on the Annie Smith.
That was both unprofessional and
unethical on the part of Jackson, and
you can hardly blame Captain Foote
for using plain and forceful, If un-
pleasant language.

Eortissimo.

When a certain Baltimore matron
returned home one afternoon not so
long ago the first sight her eyes be-
held was a badly damaged youngster
of hers. Little Bobby's forehead bore
a bump almost the size of doorknob.
"Heavens!" exclaimed the mother.
What has happened to Bobby?"
"Nuthin' much, num-" explained the
new nurse. "You told me, mum, he
might play on the pianner if he want

did draw the line at ghost that
pirouetted the fo'castle deck with a
couple of black cats poised on his
shoulders. And so the mate quit and
the captain became sore, and the
Annie Smith did not sail.
1t was five years ago, when the
Annie Smith was bound for the east
coast of Africa, that Steve Jackson
gave up the ghost. He was murdered
In a fight with another negro sea-
man, and the murderer was placed In
irons and later brought back to this
port, given over to the authorities,
tried and executed.
The night they committed Steve's
body to the deep, with only a dead
weight of iron to keep him company,
the seaman's ghost appeared to the
mate.
Moore was at the wheel, eyeing the
huttering OF the topgallant sail, as
the wind showed signs of shifting,
when he heard Steves voice say:
Good evening, mate" He looked in
the direction whence the voice came
and there, sitting on the starboard
rail, was Steve's ghost, dressed just
as Steve was dressed when he signed
on the grim ship Death. The mate
Answered him, but though the ghost
remained there, he did not utter an
other word until after an hour, when
he said, "Al's WELL" and disappeared.
Moore soon became used to Steye's
ghost, which appeared morning and
night, and greeted him, and which
said, "Alls WELL" whenever a storm
arose
But after three and a half years the
ghostly visitor became too much fol
Moore, and he left the Annie Smith.
A year ago, however, he shipped
again in the barkentine, and there was
a great little reunion on the first day
that the mate took the wheel.
Morning, mate" said the ghost.
Hello, Steve" quoth Moore as was
his won't

ghost.

Sure enough, Steve's ghost hoisted
the jib, and coming back, touched his
hat, cried "Al's WELL" and vanished
But the other day the ghost got on
Moore's nerves, for if there is one
thing that the mate is afraid OF it is
a black cat, and next to that two
black cats, and Steve's ghost ap-
peared to Moore with a black cat on
each shoulder.

A marriage took place recently, In

years ago, the bridegroom. John S.
