the most Interesting of recent sights
In the kaleidoscopic harbor of New

Thus the modern method imatis a
saving of time, labor and expense,

Henri Duval said In New Orleans: I
"1 am reminded of u tourist anec I
Jute.
"in many French provinces everj
peasant raises each year for his fitm-1
lly"-» use one <>r two enormous pigs
Nothing of the pig is discarded—tlifc <
fut is boiled down tor lard; tin* bloou;
Is made into blond puddings; tiie hams 1
are cured; the chops are salted: the
feet are dried; the meat 111 the luuu
Is clipped into sausage meat; even,
tl.e tars are preserved; an occasional
slice of ear being used to enrich tlx
a./up. And the tail? oh. yes they
use the tad. too. it is stewed with
Vegetables and contains, they say, a
ti-.y morsel of delicious meat.
'But to return to the anecdote. An
American touring the north of France
one summer before the war, asked a
peasant what the people thereabout!
lived on.
" 'I'igs. monsieur, In the winter,' re
plied the peasant, 'and tourists in the
summer.'
Cusioms Inspector Duval laughed.
"Well," he Maid, "the tales of extor
tion i hear from people now return
ing from France make me think that
few peasants will be eating pigs' ears
or pigs' tails this '."inter—they'll be
eating truffled chicken and drlnkiup
champagne."

Pascngoula, Miss.—A party of
haulers which Into just returned
here from Bnyou Oasotte reports
that on Saturday the tuen saw an
alligator prepare to attack a
weasel, whereupon the weasel,
with remarkable alacrity, leaped
Into the "gator's extended jaws
and slid down into its stomach.
The hunters say they were as
tonished at the actions of the
weasel aod awaited results.
Within fifteen minutes they ob
served the weasel eating its way
through the entrails of the mon
ster.
According to the hunters, the
fondness for eggs prompted the
slender animal to take its
chances In the alligator.

Senor Ortega and His Three Photographs
DKNVliU.—Senor Juan Ortega, loung
ing over the showcase In a Lari
mer street photographic gallery re
cently. looked long and suspiciously
at the three prints that Max Kepplin
ger. the proprietor of the place, had
Just h::lulled hint.
"Me?" asked Juan, finally.
"Sure. Mike, them's you!" exploded
Max. "Gimme f>0 cents—y'understand?
Four hits."
Juan tossed the three prints Into
Max's face.
"Me? Huh!" lie grunted contemptu
ously and turned to go.
lint Max wasn't napping. He cleared
counter with one Ifap and laid detain
ing hands on .Tuan's purple and orange
macklnaw.
Juan, slipping out of his macklnaw,
placed a left hook on Max's nose.
Max staggered and put up protective
elbows, and Juan placed a right swing
to Max's stomach. Dizzy. Max grab
bed up a pair of long shears and
made a. lunge at Juan. Juan dodged
and grabbed a flashlight device, which
lfe broke over Max's bead.
Max struggled to his feet, but Juan
picked up the mounted burro, which
Max uses to pose "wild West" pic
tures. and crowned the proprietor with
it. Max and burro settled Into a trou
bled sloip together on the hard floor.
Juan then ripped up tin? ladies' dross
tug room, smashed half a hundred
examples of Max's photographic art
Into little bits and sprinkled hypo
acids liberally around the room.
Juan, to bring all to a fitting climax,
stuck Max's broom Into the stove. As
It flamed he careful.v withdrew it. in
tending to apply It to the drop cur
tain on which was painted a scene
depicting the rear end of 'nn observa
tion Pullman, labeled "Denver Spe- J
clal."
Then Abe Garcia, special officer,
broke In on the scene. He grubbed
Juan. "What's wrong here?" he de
manded.
Juan pointed to three soiled prints
on the floor near the sleeping forms
of Max and the stuffed burro.
"Me? Bah!" he said.
Isauro Gabaldon is. the name of
the new Philippine Islands resident
commissioner who will be on hand at
the next session of congress. He tins
been elected for a three-yenr term, j
He Is a lawyer In Manila and "is an I
ardent advocate of the independence
of the Philippines.
The Philippines were coded to the j
United States- by Spain In 1S98. Ttiere j
was a succession of military gover- |
nors until 1002. General Merritt, (Jen
eral Otis, General MacArthuf, Genet til
Chaffee. In 1902 the oflice of military |
governor was abolished and the Phil
ippine commission became the gov- j
ernlng body.
In 1916 congress pa.*sod an act j
resting the legislative authority in the 1
Philippine legislature, composed of j
senate and house of representative
There are 24 senators and 90 lvp'r
sentatives. This legislature liersune
organized October 16, 191B. Tile ruti
tppiiie commission thereupon ceased to exist There Is a governor general
from "the states"—Francis Burten Harrison, salary $20,000, term of office
Indefinite.
The population of the Philippines 1s probably about 10,000,000. At least
300,000 of the inhabitants of the principal islands of the archipelago are
classed a= "uncivilized." The trade with the United States is about tiiis:
To Philippines. $75,000,000; to United States, $90,000,000. Total of Philippine
exports, $150,000,000.
The attitude of the Filipinos on Independence Is apparently this: "We
are grateful for your help .to date, But we can take care of ourselves now.
Good-by."
