ARON OILERS was the poe-

\" AhON OLbEnS W40 Cno po0-
SCISSOR OF a nne estate In Pom
erania. As 4 young man he
was considered very fascinat-
ing by women and before he was twen-
ty-five had broken many hearts, But
thoss whose hearts he broke were more
fortunate than those he married late
in life, for when he was older he would
marry those he wished TO possess. and
they were always short lived. His
neighbour who knew OF his Bluebeard
practices called him Baron Manteufel
Baron Devil.
BY the loveliest Of his wives the bar
on had son. who a. he grew up de-
veloped his mothers disposition. He
was the baron's only child. and, al
though OF an entirely different charac-
ter. his father lived with him on fair
ly good terms. When the son. Herman
Olbers. was twenty-five he went to his
father one day and told him that he
had fallen in love and wished to
marry.
II very much approve Of your deci-
sion." replied the father. ~ only hope
the lady Is young and beautiful"
Both" And the son gave his IA
ther a glowing description Of her
beauty.
Very well. You may write her that
I approve Of your marriage with her.
Indeed. will go and bring her here to
you. and the wedding shall take place
in this house instead of hers. Her
family shall be at no expense"
Young Herman was delighted with
his fathers complaisance in the mat
ter. attributing 1t to the fact that his
father, who was a widower and was
getting old, wished to have the house
lightened up by a woman's presence.
The baron a few days later ordered
out his handsomest equipage and. ar

drove away for tho bride.
Herman passed a week impatentiy.
during which he heard nothing from
his father or his nancee. Then one
day the two drove up to the house.
and when the lady stepped out Of the
carriage the baron presented her as
his wife. He had dazzled her with
his great wealth. thus obtaining her
consent to marry him instead of his
son, who had nothing In his own
right.
Herman Olbers went to live in a
neighboring city. No one knew what
effect the loss Of his bride had upon
him. Whatever 1t was. he bore 1t with
outward equanimity. The young baron
ess lived two years and then died. as
the baron's other wives had died, Of Ill
treatment. Her stepson did not attend
her funeral, but about the time Of her
death he shut himself up from his
friends, who OWNED the cause. Great
was the surprise, however. soon after
this seclusion when he announced that
he was to be married. He gave out to
few cronies that he would not make
public the name of his betrothed un-

Rivers That Rob,

The discovery that there is kind Of
struggle for existence and survival Of
the fittest among rivers is one Of the
most interesting results Of the modern
study of physiography, according to
Harper's Weekly. A notable example
Of this contest is exhibited by Eng
lands two biggest rivers, the Thames
and the Severn. Between their val
leys lie the Cotswold hills, and explo-
ration shows that the Severn, by eat
ing backward among these hills, where
softer strata underlie them, has d.
verted to itself some Of the headwa-
ters which formerly flowed into the
Thames.

Photographs on Finger Nails.


A fad in Germany is the mounting Of
photographs on the finger nails, the idea
growing out Of the whim of a cousin
Of the kaiser who had an enameled por-
trait Of her fiance worked on the nail
Of her little finger. This portrait was
work Of art and cost 500, but now
the fashionable manicures Of Berlin
have taken up the idea in the photo
graph form. The feature Of this work
by manicures is rendering the photo
graph waterproof, which is done by
coating 1t over with a shellac-like sub
stance burned upon the nail. 1t is said
that, with careful handling, photo
graph so mounted will last about four
months without renewal.-Popular Me-
chanics.

Without waiting the brides consent,

Baron Olbers from that moment lived

Order to Give Up Weapons Was
Followed by Murderous A.
tacks on Americans by Native
Bandits.

POW would you like to have a
fierce looking warrior Jump
up before you with a knife
ready to strike vital blow
when you least expected it2 This hap
pens only too frequently to United
States soldiers in the Philippines-in
Aindanao and Jolo. where the savage
Moros have their homes. The treach-
cry Of the Moro was 80 tantalizing
that the military authorities OF the
Philippines were at last forced to trys
extreme measures, and the disarma-
ment of the entire Moro population
was ordered.
This step was followed by several
murderous attacks on Americans, and
soldiers have been at times forced to
drastic action. Most of the Moro
chiefs gave up their weapons peace
fully enough, but there have been
series Of sharp engagements with
bandits.
WARRIOR IN EVERY FIBER
There is nothing of the politician
about the impulsive Moro. He is the
warrior. the fighting man in every
nber. You must look to the Filipino
for qualities of intrigue. The Moro
has not time for such parlor games as
intrigue and agitation. He is slave
holder. polygamist, Mohammedan, war
rior, hunter. pirate and farmer, this
last to such an extent as the number
Of his wives and slaves permits.
His fanaticism carries lin to deeds
Of high emprise at times. For In
stance, II he finds himself in arrears
spiritually he Will take an oath, called
5uramentado. to kill as many ''infldels"
as he can and die fighting. Once in
Jolo one rushed suddenly into the
street. whipped out barong and kill
ed an American, two Chinese and
three Filipinos before being halted in
his mad career by an American SOL
der.
This fierce fanatical spirit doubtless
inspires that form of Moro insanity
which the Americans call running
amuck.' On such occasions they are
apt to kill their own families first before
starting out to wipe out "infidelity."
He who tastes either of these deaths
dies blessed Moslcm. You may re-
alize that human life is never dear
with them from the fact that in their
code murder is punishable by fine of
$3.50 for each victim.

the province and the secretary.
The Moro, trained from boyhood. be-
comes so dexterous in the use Of the
''barong" that he can decapitate a man
at single stroke. At sea they use u
sort of assagai, called "bagsacay," or
''simbilin," which is about half an inch
in diameter. with q sharp point.
Some can throw as many us four Of
these at time, making them spread
in their fight. These were used in the
days Of piracy for boarding vessels.
They are very skillful in the manufac-
ture of these weapons. the blades Of
their knives being US finely tempered
and sharp as Damascus blade. Their
homes are verltable armories. OF re-
cent years some of them have learned
the use of firearms and have come into
possession Of supplies Of them.
The Moro loathcs any kind of work
other than that connected with his pro.
fession as a warrior. He expects that
all or his physical wants will be sup
piled by his wives and slaves. In bat
tie he is fearless, for his religion teach
es him that death in warfare carries
with 1t the honor Of life hereafter in
the Mohammedan heaven. When engag-
ed In fght he makes hideous gri-
maces to frighten his opponent and
prances and leaps to confuse the aim
or his adversary and to protect him
self from blow behind or below his
shield.
