Moro Chleftain Lived To

Remarkable Ace for Tropics

The tombs Of some of the More
chiefs of the Philippines are curious
combination Of native ingenuity and
civilized fnery. An ancient and dis
tinguished Moro chieftain Is said to
have lived to be SO years old-a re-
markable age for the tropics where
men and women mature early and die
young. according to American stand
ards. This chieftain, Benguito, was not
only distinguished warrior of pow
erful tribe, but also wise diplomat.
He held his tribe under firm control
during many turbulent periods. He
was usually at peace with the Span
iards when they had control Of the
islands, but when he occasionally
struck, perhaps on the advent of new
Spanish governor-general, he struck
hard. and with such savage ferocity
and good generalship, followed by

rising star of the Americans, he grace

took the breath away from the Ameri-

GRINNELL GLEE CHR

A large crowd enjoyed the concert
given last evening by the Grinnell
Glee Club. under the auspices of the
High school. 1t is impossible to prop
erly accredit the merit due this team
of warblers, for each and every mem
Der was an artist and all the numbers
were fully enjoyed.
I After the concert the boys were the
guests of the Entire Nous dancing
club, and found it quite out of the
question to refrain from bursting out
in song now and then, to which there
were no objections. They were given
a good roughing in circle two-step or
two, but were quite equal to the occa-
sion.
We hope to have them with us
again some time.

Upraised Arm and Open Palm
Meant Soldier Had No Dagger

The military salute so familiar to
every soldier and scout dates back to
very early days, notes Boys Life. At
first it was not intended in the least
10 show respect to superiors. The up
raised arm with the open palm ex-
tended was meant merely to show that
the soldier did not carry dagger in
his hand and could not attack if he
wanted to. All even more remarkable
change has come in the meaning of
the custom of retiring backward FROM
the presence of royalty. In very early,
times men backed away from king
to protect themselves from being
kicked.

piano being stuffed with paper, play
ed little joke of it's own on those
who tackled it.
A telegram game was played next,
but only four words were in each in
stead Of the usual ten. Slips of pa
per with four letters each were given
out and the words of the telegram
began with these letters. Suffice it
to say it would have permanently

began. Different articles were pass
,, ed around the group, who were to
guess what it was by the feel. Shrek

onion, and an imitation rabbit passed

freshments were served. First came
napkins made from newspapers and
labeled "April Fool" Then two var
ieties of sandwiches labeled "Ripe
Olives" and "deviled eggs" were pass
ed in a dishpan with an egg beaten
and pancake turner to shovel them
out. Cookies, labeled grape juice"
were passed in the coffee pot, and
cake labeled "stewed prunes," in a
water pitcher. Then came marsh
mallows bearing the sign "escalloped
oysters" with a potato masher, in
stead of tongs. "Tea or coffee" came
in the form of water in sauce dishes,
and just after came sugar in a cream
pitcher and milk in a sugar bowl with
a dustran fer tray and can open
er instead of spoon. The finger
bowl appeared on the dustpan with a
clothes-pin bobbing prettily in the
center.
All about the rooms were signs of
"wet paint, look OUT" ''fresh var
nish," "keep off the grass" and
''Lupa Loot"
