The Village Where Mrs Lorlard Spencer VIII Live Among
the Wretched Natives

Instead OF cruising in Mediterranean
waters on perfectly equipped steam
yacht, as In the days when her hus-
band was living, this beautiful widow,
who is still youthful in face and
spirits, will cruise in and out among
the southern Islands in rude native
canoes, facing danger every day Of
her life.
Danger? Yes. Not alone the pas.
sive danger Of disease. engendered
by the filth of the people and the
heat Of the islands. but the active
dangers, due 10 the warlike charac-
teristics OF the ,Moros, the wild men
OF the hills, as they are sometimes
called. When the United States
took over the Philippines. it assumed
charge OF their more than 100000
natives. OF these. more than 1000
600 are Moro Mohammedans. They
have caused the Government more
anxiety than all the other 100000
combined. They are divided in
groups, each group dominated by
fierce and lawless leaders. One
group of $4,000 are the descend
ants Of pirates and cannlbals. II Is
this group that has been in constant
rebellion, and has killed NAM Amer
leans who have gone to them only to
help them. And It is to this group
and its civilization that Mrs. Spencer
intends to devote her time and
wealth!
From the cultivated, high bred,
ultra refined social circle in which
she has always moved, Mrs. Spencer
will go to Jolo, where her companions
will be either the hard working mis-
sionaries or the savages. From the
unglaZed windows Of her mission
hut she will look out on dirty, un.
clad natives living in trees like great
unclean birds. What contrast to
the outlook from the wide windows OF
her Newport home! There she looks
out upon the superb gardens Of the
Vanderbilt and Brown estates, or
upon her own beautifully kept lawns
The children of her Newport and
New York neighbors have expensive
tutors and goyernesses. They are

the Sulu group OF Moros. many Of
which are the so-called "Irreconcila-

They are perhaps the most bar
barous OF all the Moro groups. They
are highly immoral. their women are

Did / not hope
That Penelope
Would be my fate;
Unless Hecate
Or something worse
That she-cat Gree
Got In her curse
And fired my shades
Plumb down to Hades.
But TO proceed. Among the last
six lines-of Mr.. Lang's, not mine
find these three:
So gladly from the songs OF modern
speech,
Men turn and see the stars and feel
the free
Shrill wind beyond the close OF
heavy flowers.
(which gets my goat" as the Satyr
said to the Dryad. Nothing short OF
a search warrant or magazine edi-
tor could get the meaning Of that. in
my judgment. What is a shrill wind
beyond the close OF heavy flowers
What shrills the wind and closes
the heavy flowers? l am inclined
to think the late Andrew, who was
something else besides a poet, was
passing out puzzle to the posterity

accustomed te the change and will
not only twirl good ball at home, but
be more effective on the road, as
