For although we've whipped these natives
 they've got us by the ear, And the inSurrecto treasury has gobbled
 all our pay, By the tricks well known 10 natives, down
 by old Manila bay.
 Still another parody on Kipling's famous poem has this verse: Her petticoat was pima And 1t had sllken sheen, Her name was Esmeralda dona Juanita She was like a gypsy queen, And saw her first a -smoxin' Of a whacking white cheroot And a wasting Christian kisses on a blooming second lieut..
 Some army officer from Detroit wrote this verse, for it mentions Woodward av- enue and Americas finest natural park, Belle Isle Here is the verse by which the author is located as q Detroter: Tho l walk with fifty white girls, down
 from Woodward to Belle Isle, And they talk of love and loving, and even
 try to smile What do they understand, painted face and
 chubby hands? I've heater, SWceter maiden in a fairer,
 grecner land.
 Another verse of this song written by 3 clever author as yet unidentified IS For her little feet were shoeless and her
 pretty shoulders bare, And the cocoa oil ShOnc glossy from her
 mass of raven hair How her dark eyes gleamcd with laughter
 and her teeth glcamed pearly white, AS she coQurttlshly answered: Me no sabe
 -ycs-alI right"
 It was George Ade, in his Sultan of Sulu," who sprung the proposition "The constitution and the cocktail follow the flag" The highball is given & place in the official songs of the Carabao, one verse be Ing:
 Heres to the glorious hghball that fills
 you full of vim Heres to the scotch and rye; fill your
 glasses to the brm; Let jolltty reign supremely, and drive away
 all care Then hlI your glasses, fellows, with the
 beverage rich and rare The above quotations are from only a few of the songs of the Carabao In his present belligerent mood it IS probably just as we'll that President Wilson hasn't com plete copy of the work at hand.

HUMAN PICTURE FILM
 PUZZLING TO PHYSICIANS

Abbeyville, N Y, April 5.-A 13-year- old girl who IS said to be 8 human film IS puzzling physicians here The following stories are told of her with more or less authority:
 While attending school she was endeav- bring one day to solve a problem in sub traction. She was hesitating over the re- suit when suddenly she felt an itching on her arm. She scratched it and the figure appeared, being an answer to the prob- lem she was trying to solve
 At another time the child heard buzz ing noise above her in the air, looked at her hand, and, according to those who were with her, an aeroplane was photographed thereon. When callers inquire to see the child she immediately shows them their names and professions written on her skin.
 The child has been sent to Paris, where she will be examined by medical com mission.

MINING LAW CONTRAST

Mining laws under which litigation is in evitable every time there IS new creek staked or a new camp discovered are some how radically wrong Such are the laws existing in Alaska. Not new locality is opened there but what the courts soon are full of lawsuits. The practice of permitting anyone and everyone to record property after one man has staked and the failure to keep modern systematzed records seems to be the basis of the whole trouble in Alaska.
 The fact that Chisana's richest creeks are now in litigation, and the whole camp threatened with that dire experience, IS enough to make Aaskans shudder and to look about for mining laws which are working satisfactorily elsewhere and to use them for a model for a new and up-to-date system. Nelchina IS reported threatened with the same blasting blight of litigation as Chisana. Throughout Alaska the same cry comes in respect to other creeks. Pros pectors are discouraged and shyster lawyers and jumpers encouraged. Laws made forty years ago are anticipated. The Canadian Yukon was working under similar laws when klondike was struck, and the mix ups and the litigation here were frightful Now the Canadian Yukon has a modern mi cpCa ,1,bjob cr,top5iI1,- enough to say that as many if not more placer claims have been staked in the White river valley and on the Sixtymile and on other new creeks on the Canadian side since last summer as in all the American White river district, which includes the Chisana, and not one case of dispute or litigation has come to the Canadian Yukon courts. The contrast with a special session of court at Cordova to settle the Chisana troubles alone is commentary to move Alaskans to reform.
 The Canadian Yukon laws are codihed, making one complete set of simple laws, readily understood by any man who can read Security of title is thus obtained, and investor, grubstaker and prospector all pro- tected and encouraged The recording sys- tenn keeps off the jumper A certificate once granted to locator makes that title absolute while the assessment work is regu larly performed The stalking process is simpllied.

ACCURACY OF MATES AIM
 SAVES PASSENGERS LIFE

Seattle, Jan. 12-Edwin F. Watts is the sort of man upon who mDame Fortune smiles His friends today have good grounds for the prediction that if he were to fall off the Smith building wagon loaded with excelsior undoubtedly would be passing in the street below, so that he could light easily
 Mir Watts, who lives at the Colonial hotel, First avenue and Pine street, was a first cabin passenger on the steam schooner Carlos, of the San Francisco, Portland X Los Angeles Steamship Company's fleet which left Seattle for San Francisco last week for Los Angeles Thirty five miles south of Cape Flattery, in q roaring gale, the deck load of creosoted piling slipped as the vessel swung into the trough of the sea. MT. Watts who was on deck was hurtled over the flying timber and landed in a mountainous sea, which snatched him away from the plunging schooner
 The mate of the Carlos, who modestly refuses to give his name, saw the accident. He seized one of the ring life buoys hang ing on the rail, and as he poised it he recalled the days when he used to pitch quoits with horseshoes on the village green The mate shied the buoy with the skill of a champion quot pitcher and it dropped over Watts head as neatly as the horseshoe used to ring the quoits peg. A lifeboat from the schooner, after hard quarter of an hour in the big seas rescued Watts
 With half of her deck load of creosoted piling gone, two of her cargo booms broken and trailing in the water, starboard life boat crushed and spHntered and dangling at the end of line over the side, the Carlos returned to Seattle yesterday with the story of Watts rescue and landed her forty five passengers

LUCK SHES AT JUNGLE JOE"
 IN LITTLE GAME CT DRAW

New York, March 25.-A Washington dispatch says:
 They wouldn't stand up" for Uncle Joe Cannon the other night.
 Some of his former colleagues in the house had arranged a session at the na- tional game-not baseball-for the old war horse of stand-patism, and he renewed his youth until we'll along in the morning.
 Every time ''Uncle Joe" tried to get away with nickel raise on a good hand every body dropped. Every time he tried to make jacks up'' do the work of real hand he was compelled to take look at 'three small ones" His "hushes" would not flush and his "straights" had kinks in them, and after a seven-hour session in the big game where the blues were worth a dime and the chocolate drops stood for a quarter the former speaker coughed up s308 in cur rency and withdrew in disgust
 His downfall broke up the game. As the group was separating one of the other players took occasion to remark:
 Well, Uncle Joe, for man that has played draw poker all his life you're pretty punk. To think of a man who sat in with John Quincy Adams putting up such an exhibition as you have tonight"
 Uncle Joe scratched his head and thought minute. Then he drawled:
 Its d. lie. never played poker with the boy. It was his father"

ARMY POETS WROTE THE
 CARABAO SOCIETY SONGS

Officers of the United States army sta toned at Jefferson barracks and in St. Louis, who have been entertaining their friends for years with official songs of the Carabao, are sympathizing with Washing ton members of the order who sang but once and got into trouble with President Wilson, who, by way of being commander in-chief of the army IS a parsonage tC be considered says the St. Louis Globe Demo crat
 The United States navy has a poet, real one, named Stokes, and by borrowing one of his poems Captain Coghlan got into rough sea of trouble when he rected "IIoch der Kaiser" as an incident of an after dinner program, which did not look like much, but was flashed around the world
 Officers of the army have contributed lib erally to the literature of the Carabao car ols and occasionally they have borrowed clever thing from some sclder of the line, the whcle being compiled into vol ume which contains sufficient cause for court -martal;ng every Carabao.
 The order was founded at Manila in November 1900 There are no honorary members, the list being limited to officers of the regular and volunteer forces of the army who served in the Philippine islands between May l, 1908, and July i, 1902, and the eldest son of such an officer, pro- viding he is of age. The book of songs opens with parody or "Geneveve," by Colonel Robert R. Ste vens. The second song, sung to the air of Benny Havens," is by General Charles A. Coolidge, and "The Legend of the Cara bao," sung to the air of Tit Willow" IS by Major Frederick Hadra.
 The song that was sung in Washington and caused all the trouble has been ire quently quoted. It is sung to the air of Tramp Tramp, Tramp" etc., and the verse next to the one that started things is: Social wants are very few;
 All the ladies smoke and chew
 And do other things the padres say are
 wrong
 Presidentes cut no ice,
 For they live on fish and rice
 And the soldiers still will sing that same
 old song.
 Damn damn, damn the Filpinos,
 Pochmarked, kaktak ladrones; And beneath the starry flag, Civilize 'em with a krag
 And return us 10 our own beloved
 homes.
 kipling's masterpiece, "The Road to Mandalay," lends itself readily to parodists, and is the basis of several clever songs. In the first one the parody on Kiplng's open ing verse reads:
 By the mudholes down at Naiac, looking
 lazy at the bay
 There's gugu girl aawaltng; and think
 l hear her say: "Come you back, you malo soldier; come
 you back from OCT the sea; Come you back and pay your jawbone
 porque you jaWbone me?' This really requires a few lines of ex- planation, being written in the vernacular ot the regular army, with a few touches of primitive Spanish interiected
 For instance "malo" is "bad'; Claw bone" about which the young woman mourns, is credit; "porque" is "why," and being translated, means that the girl is won- derlng why the American soldier had the nerve to talk her out of money due the talk being indicated by the army expression, "jawbone" In another Road to Mandalay" parody the most striking verse is: Ship me off to h-l or Texas; ship me any,
 where from here,
