GREAT IlI SERVICE
Tyne of IdeaIisi Worthy of the
 Highest Praise.
American In the Philippines Was For wardina the Cause of Civilization, With kraq in Place of Shep-
 herds Crook.

I first met him in the brush, thou sand yards north of Dagupin, In Pam- nanga. lying on his belly and watching me through the sights of his krag. II is indeed startling to discover the si- lent menace of rifle muzzle protruu- ing through the tropical undergrowth' especially at 20 yards rage.
 "Friend l" called across to him.
 Sure, come on over." he laughed back, and his rifle muZZle sllppeo across a point CT two, covering the trail had followed over the skyllne.
 Though 1t was but a chance meeting, he trusted me as one of his Kind, ana there was no "glad-to-meet-you talh CT the reticence of Manila.
 His name is no matter; 1t was liar ard-Boston-Irish of four American generations. But 1t is vital that HIS eyes were blue and that he was one of those sunburned American 1deallsls whose success is not gauged in dollars but in service rendered to civilization. to sanitation, to health and to decency. Why. then, was he civilizing with Krag? I thought of the head-hunters of the northern mountains, nor Iar away, and of native insurrection' no" thing of the past.
 "What's the trouble?" l asked when I reached his nest in the undergrowtn.
 "Nothing just precaution," he an swered. Then heard in the valley De- l hind him the rhythmical pounding or boring machinery and saw the top of timber scaffold for we'll digging.
 He explained, as l crouched beslde him, that a certain eX-alcalde, Tn nt of petulance, had thrown dog into the village well, thereby contaminating the supply. This had happened three viii lages up the road and sickness had spread throughout the valley. To dle another we'll in the near neighborhooo scanned inexcusable to the natives. No1 that trouble was really expected, pu' machinery cost cash and guards nae been posted at the hill trails. His viii lage needed water, and water the! would have pure and cold from tit 2OO-foot level, whether the natives op posed the work temporarily or not These things he told me, and more while we sat and brushed away th' | flies.
 This man was no engineer and n' sanitary inspector. He was no N. C. U of the Philippine constabulary. Il thumbed the bolt of his rifle and ad mitted he was teacher! l had hear often of his type. Indeed, l haU com to the Philippines for the sole purpos of making his acquaintance, and t meet him in the equality of the brus was indeed good fortune, for men o his kind the world over are prone t be as uncommunicative as the Englisf man at the frontiers of empire. Her
 he was at work at one of the stron
 contacts of civilization and of educf
 tion in the Philippines-the devoloI ment of water supply.-Paul Monro

Birds Increase in Numbers.

The beneficial effects of the mlgra- tory bird treaty act are beginning to be felt. The United States depart ment of agriculture, through It's bu- reau of biological survey, has conduct ed investigations of the breeding areas of ducks in North Dakota and Nebras- ka, says a bulletin of the department. Compared with former years, a grat- living increase of breeding waterfowl, particularly in North Dakota, is evl- dent. The fifth annual series of counts of birds of all species breeding on se- lected areas in various parts of the United States contained large pro portion of reports showing increases in bird population. The total number of reports received however, was not large. Many of the persons who had formerly taken part in the annual blrd counts were unable, because of extra duties assumed during the war, to ma time for the work required by the fifth count.

Men Who "know 1t All"

Some folks are "canned" because +hev are too dissatisfied. It's com mon thing in life to find folks too big To take orders. They know the game and refuse to take orders. That IS confession they belong to the small class and never will be fitted to lead. The good boss is a master of obedl- ence. He commands because he has learned to obey. He's never satisfied. There are always new goals to strive for. He rises because he sees things from different angle. It's different with the fellow who is self-satisfied. He sees only what he wants to see, and holds his opinion above that of everybody else. You can't do much with him.-EXchange

 There is no country that can rival North America for the great numpef of squirrels. both species and subspe- cies, represented in her fauna. In so far as brillIancy of color and size are concerned, however, says the -Ameri- can Forestry Magazine of Washington the handsomest and largest squirrels in the world are found in the Orient and the East Indies.

Vessel Too Big for Docks.

America, 1t seems. with all her prog ress In shipbuilding, has no dock on the Atlantic coast suitable for repair ing A vessel like the Leviathan or the Imperator, says Shipping. When the Leviathan needed overhauling, she had to be sent to Liverpool to the big Glad stone dock. Even there 1t was neces- sary to wait for the new and the full moon to dock and unlock her, as the highest tide was required to "boat her over the sill" The dock at Norfolk, Va, it seems, is big enough to float the Leviathan, but the channel leading to if will not permit her passage.

That we digest with our minds as well as with our stomachs, Is the as- sertion of Dr. Chavigny in the Paris Medical. He says that most of those who seek the stomach specialists cher ish special fads in regard to their diet or about going barefoot, or have other odd ideas They often seem to thrive on a diet that normal persons could digest only with difficulty. And he cites several cases In which "men- tai dyspepsia" was cured by retrain- ing the mind with gymnhstic exer- cises and military discipline.
