Sept. 79. These Americana are a Incomprehensible people to the Filipinos. They come down bere, 10,000 miles from borne; they bring men. big.

husky fellows, by tho thousand." and a vast equipment to make war, and when they get here they sit down and wait until the enemy gets tired and surrenders without a light. It's rery drolL They bare some queer notions, these Americana What difference does It make to them if a Filipino pounds his horse with a club until it TYPE OF NATIVE falls down? The Is a little balky and will not go. The Spanish officer In the caleaia is in the only hurry of his life, and the pony stops. -dearly. It Is a case for a club.

But -just when cochero is at his merriest work and the club has beaten a hoje.ln, the pony's back, from which the blood runs, along cornea one of these hulking Americans with a gun and a long bayonet, and then goes cochero to the- Provost For what? May a man not beat his own pony? The beast would not go, and why should It not be beaten? Besides, the senor must arrive very quickly. Yet cochero is taken to the Judge, and perhaps will clean streets for a pair of weeks. Sometimes a pony has a small sore under his collar no bigger, maybe, than a Iran's hand. Such things must happen. The collar, perhaps.

Is too big, but there is no other collar and It must do. Then come these ridiculous Americans and tell cochero he must not use that pony. If he does they will punish him. and, worst of all, they do It. Surely, that is beyond explanation.

There was the boy with the bird trap just a little boy, not more than 6 years and be must catch birds If he Is to live. But these absurd Americans, see what they do. They take his trap. It Is not much, this trap only bamboo pole. It has a looped string at the end.

and it Is a good, springy pole. If the pole Is bent and the trap Is set and the bird walks Into the noose, why. you pull the locking cord, the trap is sprung, and there dangles the bird by the Even a little boy, not more than 6 years, can work this trsp. And It he is a harp little boy and ties one live bird to the bamboo pole as a decoy, why. ho can make perhaps 4 or 6 centlmos a day, and by and by he will become rich and have a Nlpa honse of his own and a little boy to catch other birds.

Hew Those Aaierleaa Act. There la a tree down there In the San Luis, -where five Americans live not much I 1 1 1L I 1 hade: but big enough to house a small family of birds. It would be like the foolish Americans-to feed these birds, aa they are very tame. Perhaps by and by "they will catch them and eat them. If, now, a small boy.

not more than 6 years, should go down there with bis bamboo trap and catch the birds, those Americans might give him 10 cents, and there would be two days' work But just see what happens. The little boy goes down by the house where tho five Americans live and the captive bird on his bamboo pole erles out. The Americana come to the window and look but. Then one of them shouts: Hey there! Let that bird go However can a little boy, not more than years, tell what that means? America la very far away. He has never been there He does not know what this big man is saying.

Ho baa beard that the Americana are piss, but this la no pig; It is a giant that is coming toward him, very angry. What can such a little-, boy jdo with such a giant, and, besides, there ia a peseta la the American's hand. It Is best to take that and see what will happen. Tho foolish American- takes out a knife and cuts th aMnv that hinds tha hint's ftst a bis perch on the -pole. Then be shakes the pole, and the bird flies away.

Was ever anything ju witless? It will be bard work to catch another without the decoy but there Is the peseta. One gets 10 cents for a live bird, or maybe 6, or 4, but here la a peseta, and the bird is free. Perhaps now he can catch It again and get another peseta. But just when he makes ready bis trap out rushes a big soldier with his gun and takes away the trap and breaks it. Surely it la hard to understand these people.

It Is not enough, to break the trap. This friend of the little boy who -comes now to throw a stone at the bird. i. i i uuji.uivbj, uu tuuniiniw be may go to tho big judge. Just for a bird that is tree.

They are queer people, these Americana. lKlo, the Counterfeiter. For Uncle Sam's bright 15 gold pieces the banks tn Manila were paying ten 'dobe dollars and SS cents. Therein Benlgnlo. who la a thief and a counterfeiter, perceived his opportunity.

He was willing to give twenty-two 'dobe dollars, very 'dobe indeed, made in bis own special 'dobe mint, for every new gold eagle Uncle Sam had paid his boys for risking their Uvea In bis service, and aa the boys had just received a fine new lot of Amer ican eagles and always are anxious to get the most silver for them possible the twenty-two dollar offer of Benlgnlo had more favor with them than the more conservative proposition of the banks. Besides Benlgnlo came to them la the person of Mariano, whereas they were Obliged to go to the bank, which was some- what difficult, owing to certain restrictions customary to military life. So they fell upon Mariano Joyfully and. he promptly cheated They were from South Dakota, and good Judges of wheat or cattle or corn or land, but concerning silver they were- mora in touch with, the theory than the metal. Therefore they were easy.

But the first -Filipino vender of wretched anise brandy on whom they tried Mariano's dollars quickly showed them the -very quality -of Benignio a output, and there, was a descent oa Mariano, who was caught with the damning evidence In his pockets. Pursuant to general order No. 8, establishing the provost court, Mariano appeared In due time in the splendid room In the Ayunte-m tee 11 to, where Colonel Jarrett every morning dispense Justice with the wisdom of the Cadi, aided by two interpreters. There Benign io came In. lugged unwittingly by Mariano, who promptly declared that ho was but tho humble and unworthy tool of the wicked and designing Benlgnlo.

There was the first demonstration of the kinship of the world. Now mark the complication and the entry of Olivia. Haseat rolled by Olivia. Benignto live In Toudo. Between his mansion of Nlpa and the arm of the law, as represented In the provost marshal's guard, stretched a line of Insurgent soldiers, and there was at that time such reeling between the two forces that rather than risk the provocation of a conflict, the provost marshal general decided to let Benlgnlo go unpunished.

Not so Olivia, Mariano had duly paid the priest his price, and he and she were one beyond legal possibility of separation. Moreover, Olivia has a woman's wit when him she loves Is in danger. She went to see Benlgnlo In Toudo. Mariano was In Jail, she said, but she could carry on the business in his place FILIPINO GIRL. until he got out again.

In fact, even "at time In the walled city she had a man waiting ready to buy a large supply of the very 'dobe The crafty Benlgnlo filled' his pock-eta with his counterfeits fancy the moral degradation) of a man-who will counterfeit 'dobe dollars trod followed Olivia into Mat-nils. 'In the little shop of a Chinaman on tho Calle Reah right -aoar the headquarters of Colonel Reeve's Thirteenth Minnesota police, she left Benignio. while she went on to the appointed rendezvous to fetch the purchaser. But the man she brought back with her carried a gun, and Benignio followed Mariano to jail, stripped of the 'dobe dollars which had jingled In his pockets when the soldier took In court the next morning he said he was the helpless victim of a wicked woman's wiles. Will Adam never get over whining or Eve ever cease to bear tho blame? Now both Benlgnlo and Mariano are In prison, but there Is a chance for Mariano.

Tho wise men are right after all. The kinship is demonstrated.

In the old days, when the major was a second lieutenant and vegetated through long "HIGH-CASTE -WOMEN seasons at "frontier posts in the Southwest. Thursdsy that isn't his name, but it's mighty near it was a gentleman.

yThe only gentle-' men down there," says the msjor, "were the gamblers and barkeepers." Thursday ran a oank, and a wheel, and a round game or two, nd In a' gentlemanly way did a gentleman's auslnesss as Arizona and New Mexico understood -it. Thursday made money. He wore fine clothe and" kept himself as a gentleman should. 'The major ho wai a lieutenant then was shifted -to another post, and Thursday dropped out of his range. By aad by the war came, and the major was sent out "here.

Thursday was an almost obliterated recollection. The other night word came in to the major tn bis quarters that a private soldier wanted to see him downstairs. The major had guests for dinner. He stepped down totheentresuelo aad there stood Thursday, smooth shaves. soft-handed, and clean as ia the old days, but in the brown can va of a private olQier.Tb major could hardly believe bis He caught the soldier's hni and gave it a shake.

"For God's sake, Thursday," ho exclaimed, "what are you doing here?" Thursday laughed. "I got patriotic," he said, "and here I am." PatriolUm was a good thing while there was chance of action, but garrison duty had bo spice in it for the gambler. Briefly, he wanted his discharge, and could the major do anything for him? The major could not, and he said so "You're up against It, Thursday." he tild, "and you'Te got to serve your time." Thursdsy langhed again. "Well," he said. "I'm game to serve it." But if he naif to stay In (Tie army he must have some sport, and sport required money for a start.

"Certainty." said tho major; "what do you want?" The position had bees reversed more than once and anything be had Thurs day could get." The soldier wanted only -a 10 gold piece, and that was ail he would tske. In spite of the major's pressing offer of more. He took the eagle and went away. Last night be came to see the major again. "Major," he said, "would you mind taking care of a little bit of money? 1 don't lika to have It about me in-camp.

All tits rural visitors In Rochester, N. go to see Rattlesnake Pete's museum on their Pete's specialty Is rattlesnakes. He gets postal cards from people every day In the week telling him where there are signs of rat If there are' any rattlers there.

Pete- gets them, and the next day, living or dead, they grace bia museum. Pet has been bitten several times by the reptiles, and be has been drunk the same number of times. Whenever he Is nipped by a rattler be takes to liquor; never otherwise. When the bite Is cured he stops drinking. Pete, whose last name Is ruber, baa made a discovery In studying the habits of snakea that la expected to be of value to the medical profession.

Any physician will tell how hard It la to treat a goitre successfully. The percentage of cures Is very small. Ines ruber. Pete'a little daughter, was troubled with one of these obstinate swellings on her neck, and tho hunter of rattlera apent considerable money in trying to get It cured. Hsvlng found the value of snakes In other ways, he decided to try them on the goitre.

He took a common a-rass snake, about three feet long, and al lowed It to coll Itself about the child's neck. and repeated the process every day for two or three weeka. To bis surplse and Joy the goitre The snake died, but the child's life, which waa threatened by the alarming growth of" the swelling, was saved. Those to whom this was told looked upon It aa a fairy story, but Pete tried it on others with success. Several well-known physicians, among them Dr.

M. E. Graham, coroner of Monroe county, became Interested, and an Investigation' waa made under the direc tion of John Dennis, an electrical expert of this Here is a part of Mr; Dennis 'report: 1 "Mr. Gruber's method Of using the snakes la case of goitre ia practically the same in all cases. In accordance with the physical strength of the patient be selects a snake from three and one-half feet to six feet in length.

These snakes are In all cases non-venomous, and are principally produced in Florida. Baring tho patient's neck, the creature Is placed In-two or three colls around the neck, principally over the swelling. The snake la mux-sled with a rubber band, and is usually allowed to coll Its head, and sometimes also its tail, around the upright post of a chair or other object, in order to afford It leverage. A few minutes after it has been placed In position the reptile begina a gentle. uniform expansion and contraction along its entire length.

This Is kept up from a half to three-quarters of an hour, when it Is allowed to uncoil gradually and glide away from the patient's neck. The process la repeated at Intervals of one week for about six weeks. The snake usually dlea at the expiration of from six to eight weeks. "A strange feature Is that even delicate women'do not hesitate to submit to the operation- after seeing -one on the neck of another person, or-after-seelng the confident manner in which Mr. Gruber handles reptiles.

After the -first application they show no more fear than they would, at the application of a coral necklace. My conclusions of fact are: "L.That the cases under consideration were (rue goitre, that conditions were ameliorated, and tn some cases a complete cure effected. That-the action of the snake, as applied, constitutes true mechanical "3. -That snakes applied lif J.he manner described; and from five to six times at Intervals of a week, invariably die within from six to eight weeks of the first application, and In exceptional cases, within. a much shorter "From these and other facta I am forced to the conclusion "1.

It- Presentiments That Have Come to.Pebple in Their Sleep. THINGS THAT- ARE QUEER Notice of Impending Events Is Mysteriously Given. rsi A. Mary H. Ford, aid Horace Beavers.

Calve Strsasr Testlnaosty. There are mo sncTr things as presentiments, and they never 'come true." So say the stent materialists of today, as they have said ever since the episode of Saul and the witch of En dor. But there are some things, nevertheless, whether" they come by way of the lumtnlferoua ether" in which scientists are lust bearlnnlne- to them photo graphed, or by the Satanic highway, to which they were relegated In. the time of the eany Puritans. And there ale number of people in Chicago for whom these presentiments, waking and sleeping, have come true.

George A. Schilling, whose position would seem to preclude the possibility of anything like undue dreaminess 'of visionary tendencies on bta part. Is one of the Chicago morula to whom things not seen with mortal eyes frequently present themselves. It Is while sleeping that Mr. Schilling's most remarkable Dresentlmenta have come to him, and.

while the most wonderful of them all are locked in his own bosom by reason of their private and family character, others stilt remarkable hare bees timed ana test ed by calm-minded Chicago people, not themselves gifted with ihe strange faculty of second signt. ana found to be correct in every particular. These presentiments have teen coming to Mr. Schilling-ever alnce he was a young man. "I think I have always been more or less endowed with the mysterious quality which divines events ahead of time or while many miles away from the ''scene of the occurrence," aaya Mr.

Schilling, "but one of the strongest as well as earliest of my pre sentiments came to me shortly after I had left my home for the first time, as a youth. I was working bere In Chicago and a favorite slater was living In Cincinnati. Our family borne, I should say. wis a abort distance from that and down the river. I kept up a sort of correspondence wttn my sister, but by and by It dropped through, as corre spondence between boys and girls will, and especially aa we heard' of each other con stantly through the' betters both received from home.

I bad not' heard directly from ber for some months," and knew absolutely nothing of her plana, when'ooe night I was visited with sn unusually vivid and distress ing dream. Mr. McstllllMiT's Strsase Vlilaa. "In this dream it seemed to me that I left my bedroom, perfectly conscious of so doing, and traveled with (be rapidity of thought or lightning to the rWer which ran near home. Tola river, as 1 instantaneously no ticed, waa choked with' the ice oX early au tumn, and a boat which I knew well because I wftesr all tho boats on that river, and which frtmmediately recognized waa vainly endeavoring to make a landing.

Almost immediately as I recog nlzed these facta it seemed to me that I knew that tho steamer- was doomed to de struction If It followed out the course then outlined by the captain. Swiftly as this knowledge came to me I acted still in my dream, of course yot more swiftly, in an iq-atant I was upon' the cabin deck, of 'the steamer, and there I met my- sister, scared. trembling, clothed as if she bad hastily arisen from her berthi Throwing an arm around her, I gave her a. reassuring kiss, and passed on the tho fTexasiideek of the steamer, where the 'captain r-kalkliig back and forth, issuing bio orders to the maa at the 'It you keep est In this manner you will lose everything, and all. the passengers will be drowned, I told blm.

He looked at me in I 'Stop trying to make a landing: let your boat drift back with the current to (naming a point ten miles- farther down the river), and you will be all right. There the -oatral -current of the stream will enable you to land 'Young man, I believe you are right. the captain told me. Then I left blm. passed to the cabin deck again, -told my slater that all was dow well, and west bark to my room In the tame manner as I had left It.

The dream alipped from my mind' with the morning's work and interests, anijl "thought nothing more of It until I had1-a letter, some weeks Ister, from my mother--1-1 Your sister- tried -t come here on the boat, she told me, mentioning the date of my dream and the name -of the boat I bad seen, 'but the ico choked the river and the boat was nearly Tn the nick of time something told the captain to cease his efforts to land at tho point reached and to drift down the river to (mentioning tho same town as I had lnatanced In my dream); he did so, and all were saved.

Otber and minor circumstances connected with this dream or of too private a character' to -bear publication, rendered the experience still more remarkable. In connection with the same -sister interested Iq It, Mr.

Schilling had another remarkable dream, some years later. "I had grown -very fond.pjj my sister's little boy," says Mr. Schilling; especially was this true after I had made'a'vlsft to her home. Suddenly, "one night, without being la the least anxious about the child during my waking hours, I waa sorely troubled' about blm tn my dreams. old and wen-remembered sensation of through the -air so swiftly and pleasantly, came over Very soon I stood on'jtha porch ot my father's residence, followtrig into, the a band of angels who bad preceded ms up the garden path.

Standing around the bed of my little nephew were members ot the. family, weeping, and in dreadful trouble. On the. bed lay the child evidently suffering greatly. As.

entered he turned a pitiful glance toward me "aa if jtaylng: uncle, can't, you help met', "I at If my heart, was broken, and just then angel band came, toward me, displacing the family, group at the bedside, and tho loveliest of all gathered the child Into her arms. As she. did so the look of pain oa his face faded and. he became an angel, too. awoke, aroused toy room-mate, calmer after seeing happy smile on the baby's face, but still naturally grieving, and.

told him that my nephew was dead. So sure waa I of this despite his laughter and encouragement. I could nof go to work that morning. Soon after this I received a letter which told me the child bad passed away, and at the very moment when rax vision bad come to me. The only discrepancy between my presentiment and the actual, truth was that I dreamed that the incident place at my father's home In the whereas it really happened In Cincinnati." 2 Mrs.

Even after teaching thta city every way seemed blocked to me. by following out another presentiment, which toid Just what would and what would not be successful bere.

I waa brought Into contact, with the very people who were able and wllllngto start me out. A hundred, other presentiments of a similar nature have made my war clear before me ever. since, and In not a single one of these instances have I. had grounds for action other than those offered ms by the presentiments which come to me. These come sometimes as visions, and again as dreams.

For instance, at the beginning of every year I can foretell Just about what measure of success or failure is to be mine. The good years, tho good months, show- In rose color or blue, the bad ones In leaden gray. For this reason I detest every shads of- gray, aave those which are pinkish or purple In tone. About other people, ana too fortunes of other people I am also given presentiments and warnings oftentimes, ana the dreams come also about even the most trivial or seemingly trivial of circumstance Perhaps this Inatance in regard to my last summer trip to Ljike Geneva will serve as an example -of what mean.

and as the time for my visit approached everything seemed to work against It. So I deeiaea 10 wme say that I could not come. That alght I had a dream of alnrrular vividness, ana as 1 rsreiy dream I waa especially impressed. A great figure stood beside mo and aald: 'You must go to Lake Geneva. The meeting Is to be beld at the Harberts' borne.

In the open air. They are thinking of a lawa fete for that day, and It will not only prove a charming occasion, but also be followed by Important consequences, which you do not now see. You must co to LakoGeneva. Now the meetings had formerly been beld In a large tent back of the Harbert mansion, and I wss surprtsea. therefore, at this oortlon of my dream.

In a tew day a. however. I received a letter da- tailing the new plan, and speaking 01 tno lawn fete. In reality the talk was given on -Mrs. Herbert's piazza, and the dream was verified la every particular, both as to small and great matters.

This is but a single instance out of tho many presentiments and dreams which have come true to me." Many of the premonitions and warnings hinted at by Mrs. Ford are. like those ot Mr. Schilling, of too personal and Intimate a nature for publication, but many others have been publicly related and verified In Chicago, and "Mrs. Ford's presentiments" are mors or less known to almost every club or society woman In Chicago.

Ks at aer Heater's Sharp Vlsioas. To Horace Soaver. a railroad engineer for many yeara employed by the Illinois Central railroad, also come the premonitions and warnings, which he characterises as examples of "second or clairvoyant tight. Mr. Seavera saya that the presentiments come to him In.

the form ot visions, that he really "sees" them, albeit not with the outward eye. "They come to me anywhere from eight to twelve hour beforehand, Mr. Bta vers told sn Interested investigator, "and I know from that time onward that something unusual is about to happen. Once when a bridge had been burned down before me. a bridge which I abould have approached at a pretty, good rate of speed, I waa troubled for hours beforehand with a vague sense of something wrong.

Then. like a flash of lighting. I saw bat-ruined bridge, and brought my train to a standstill. The conductor came running up. crying, 'What's the matter berer 1 told him there was something wrong ahead.

He knew me. and be came along until we saw the burned bridge. If I bad not followed that presentiment we should all have been la the water. Dates and similar particulars I have vowed to give no more, but thia and other Instances -have been verified many a tjme by curious. Investigators." Upon another occasion the same maa refused to take bla train over the bridge on a newly purchased road on account ot a similar presentiment.

The bridge, as It was shortly proved, would never have withstood the weight of the engine. switch Is open!" he declared at another time, when the con ductor on bis train peremptorily demanded a reason for an -unexpected stop. "I saw It, there, ahead of us!" Sure enough', the switch was open, cot enough to swing the warning red l'ght Into position, but quite enough to derail the train. With the "second" or clairvoyant sight. Horace Sea vers had seen and discovered this.

In a number of Instances he has saved loss of life and property In a similar manner. He says that he will alwaya follow bis presentiments, no matter bow situated, as long experience baa thoroughly demonstrated to hrra tho wisdom of obeying the intuttiona which sway blm, coming be knowa not whence.

70 WABASH AVENUE. RUNNING A "WAKE-UP'' ROUTE. Vlclaaltadca of (he Baalneaa and Wfas tlae Frajertar Gave It Tp. "Iq the course of my hustling. aald a man who has done many things tor Hrlcg, "1 got up once la a Western town a wake-up route, waking up people that wanted to get up at some- fixed hour In the morning.

It wss a lively town, with a lot of people In it that made a practice of sitting up nights and who found It hard work to get up in the rooming, and I bad no trouble in getting subscribers. I had hard work in serving- 'em all. My man had to move sharp to get around to 'em all In time. He couldn't stay and argue with a man that was stupid and If be wouldn't get up after fair warning he had to let blm go, and It was this that finally-made trouble, because these men wanted to be waked up with a club, so to speak, if and while my man was punctuality itself, and nerer.f ailed to be there at the appointed, hour aad to wake the man up. yet, he was a slight and rather delicate maa.

and he couldn't enforce his demands, jjulte aside from the Question of ha--v tag time Some big. burly chap would (ay to him: 'Tou go" way or HI break you In two, and what could my maa do? in the morning these folks would always be sorry they hadn't got up. aad I suppose that was natural enough, but they used to come to the office and kick because I hadn't got 'em up. They said they'd contracted to be got up. and they wanted to be got.

up. "Well. I stood this sort of nonsense for a while, and then I imported a waker-up from the East powerful, up-to-date slugger, who could wake up anybody at any hour of the night, no matter "bow sound asleep he might be, and keep him awake. I sent this maa out one night with my little man for a pilot. It was like this: "They'd go Into the man's and, the little fellow'd do the talking.

'Come now. he'd say, 'It's time to get 'Tou go 'way. says the sleeper. saya the little man. 'you want-to get op right now, and if you don't I'm gorngto get you up.

"And in a minute or less the big fellow would tackle him. He'd wake him up all rtght. and the sleeper realized in a minute every time whst had happened Then they'd go at It, right there; but my man was a hummer with a lend bum. and he cleaned out bis man erery time In short order. He licked fifteen subscribers shat morning in an hour and forty I "knew thatv while we could Ilok em easy tn detail, we couldn't begin to touch 'cm In a bunch, and tbey were sure to come, and so along the -morning, before they'd got around, we moved out.

started a wake-np route In another town, and, profiting by our experience, we started in with tbe big man at the bad every subscriber take a look at him and have a tittle talk with him and agree to be waked up sure. Each' man knew what be was running up against, and we bad very little trouble there. We never bad to Itck mor'n one or two. and everything was going along slick and smooth as could be, and we were lust coining money, when there was a man come along and started sn electrical wake-up ex- change In the town. By that system -they put 1 a gong on the head of a man's bed, with a wire connection-to a central office, where the subscriber's name and the hour he wanted to get up at were entered.

When the time came the man on duty there would Juit simply press a button and start ths gong over the man's head. The gong was so adjusted that it would keep on' ringing till the mal got up.

Krssarkable Pathsloajrlcsl Discovery Made by mm Obienlag Wanaa. Two women, while sitting In the front row of the balcony at the theater the otber night, during one of the entr'actes, amused themselves by counting the bald heads down in tbo orchestra chairs.

"Just look In the eighth row!" exclaimed one 'of them. "There are seven men tn that row and six of them are In an advanced stage-of Tbe seventh isn't more than 25 years old, too, so you can't even count on him." "I wasn't going to. cynically. "I'd sooner think ot counting on a man's heart than on bis head In this case. "Isn't It queer that there are so many ways of getting bald Do you suppose there is any system about 1tT they begin to get bald where their bats rest.

"Nonsense; If tbey did they would all develop balos, with hair In the center." "Well, then, perhaps tbe hair disappears first from the part of tbe bead which Is worked the hardest. Oa the phrenological plan, you know. Tbe poet would get bald on tbe edges or His brow. There would be a thinning oat of hair on the bnmps of ideality. The bard- -headed, conceited roan would get a tonsured effect, and lose the hair on the bumps of self-esteem and obstancy.

Tbe sentimental man would wear Out the back of bis head and have only a fringe around his neck. And so on. "Maybe." "Well. I'll tell you one thing that perhaps you haven't "What's that' "Did ever see a bald-headed consumptive?" "Why why let me think.
