THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN'S SELECTED HCTION.
iRS. JARED STANLEY, from the big
rocker on her piazza, looked with
well-concealed impatience at "hor
tantalizing guest in the hammock. Alicia
was all fluffy blue ruffles, and her inno
cent brown eyes and deep dimples lent to
her a dangerous seeming of guHelessness.
She looked past her hostess to the road,
along which were approaching her host
and two other clean-cut young men.
"Allle, dear," asked Mrs. Jed, "which
one do you mean to take?"
Alicia leaned back provokingly, as sho
replied:
"I thought you gave me this house par
ty to help mo And out, Nell?"
"Well, I did. What's the matter?
Theresa and Maude aren't in the way?"
"Goodness, no! I am only too glad to
have them about to keep Teddy and Sam
off part of the- time."
"They'll have to draw cuts. I can't
choose. Edward Trent has sense, money
and good looks, and so has Samuel Good
win. They are both thoroughbreds, but
each needs the other to sot him off.
Sammy's blond, boyish inconsequence
shows up Teddy's dark impatient dignity.
I wish I could have them both, simul
taneously, or not at all. It's horrid to
be dependent on an aunt who insists on
marrying you off. She says sho won't
stand another Winter of my sho calls it
flirting. I" the girl's eyes grew serious.
"Alicia, what about -John Lane?" Her
face flushed, but Mrs. Jed went on with
the temerity of an old friend. "We all
know you refused him times unnumbered.
Why did you?"
"Oh, I kept count; it was eight times.
I did it because auntio has been trying
to get us married ever since I was 1G:
also because Mr. John Lane needed tak
ing flown. He always thought ho could
have anything he wanted, and he did
usually get it till it camo to me. Be
sides, I won't marry a poor lawyer and
bo transported to the wilds of Colorado.
Chicago is good enough for me, and I
want a big church wedding and a home
among civilized people. Anyway, if John
Lane really wanted mo he'd stop propos
ing and get me, somehow." Then, as the
three men came up the steps, she whis
pered dramatically:
"I'll make them draw cuts. It's the
only way."
She greeted them with the sweet Im
partiality that caused them to hate each
other with primitive masculine seal. Mrs.
Jed left them and, going to her desk!
wrote a letter:
My dear John: She is here. I mean Alicia,
of course. Trent and Goodwin you know them
both are here also, and hot on her trail, as
Theresa Petrle and Maudo Hope are on theirs.
Her aunt, I mean Alicia's, says she must
choose between them. This Is her sixth sea
son, you know.
When a firlrl doesn't know which or two men
she wants to marry, it Is the favorable Junc
ture for .the third man. Come down on busi
ness, of course but plan your own campaign,
and may the Lord help you I can't. But you
were made for each other, and I simply give
you this chance to win out. Tours, as ever,
ELEANOR STANLEY.
Two days later John Lane, In travel
ing attire, suddenly took himself and his
suitcase before the astonished gaze of his
partner In the law and in single
blessedness.
"Mac, I'm off tor ten days Chicago.
You can get on without me you'll have
to." Macdonald knew enough not to ask
questions. John went- on. "I shall come
back w- h a a wife or without one,
I" but Mac interrupted.
"Sort of matrimonial rush order, old
man? You don't say whether the wife is
for me or for some client." But Lane
gave him an affectionate kick and de
parted to take his train, and smoked
away steadily the 24 monotonous hours
between him and Alicia, He had time to
plan his campaign.
Friday afternoon Alicia, at her window,
saw him coming up tho long green lawn
of the Stanley Summer house. Then she
put on a nonchalant air and a blue gown
much out of style and sauntered down
into the garden. Of course he would
come presently, and this time perhaps
she would say "yes." But John did not
come.
When, after an hour or two, she Joined
the others on the piazza, he rose and
greeted her with a friendly handshake
and with no trace of sentiment. Then he
devoted himself to Theresa, whom he
had known at college, and when, later,
they all went out to the links, he golfed
with Maude and made friends with the
young clergyman of the party who in
cluded golf in his creed. Alicia thought
that he cultivated everything and every
body but her.
After a few days she began to realize
that John Lane was no longer her espe
cial property as he had been from child
hood to the previous year, when she had
last refused to marry him. He had said
he should never ask her again, and now,
with a sudden sinking of tho heart, she
bgan to feel that he had meant it. Her
Indifference was a thing of the past.

Board, and other distinguished persons
who will be present
Special drills executed by the Philip
pine scouts and constabulary on their re
spective parade grounds will Include drills
to music, wall-scaling, calisthenlc exer
cises with rifle!-, and drills to bugle calls.
The scouts and constabulary organizations
will then participate in a grand parade,
reviewed by the distinguished military
party. '
Music during all of these ceremonies
will be supplied by two native Philippine
bands, the constabulary numbering 80
pieces, being the largest in the World's
Fair, and both said to be among the best
musical organizations in the world. Con
certs will be given In the evening on the
beautiful plazas of the Philippine reser
vation, where the native style Cafe Lu
zon, with dining veranda an eighth of a
mile long, is situated.
For the thousands of visitors who will
attend the World's Fair on Philippine day
there will be many other special features
to interest. Boatracing on beautiful Ar
rowhead Lake by natives of the Saraal
Moro village and exhibitions in pearl-diving
will be some of the water sports in
dulged In by the "Sea Gypsies" of Min
danao Island.
For the first time visitors -will have an
opportunity to enter the Bagobo village,
which on that day. will be opened to the
public. Here the "natives may be seen
garbed in their bead Ureases and adorned
with many bells and musical trinkets.
Musical bracelets and anklets of their
strange fashioning will clink harmonious
ly with melodious , dances executed by
Bagobo boys and girls.
Dog feasts will be offered by the naked
Tgorrotes, and war dances of the Bontoc
headhunters will bo executed by the most
barbaric of all the Filipino tribes. These
queer people, who are a curiosity even in
Manila, are garbed, only in a narrow
breech-clout and tiny cap; which Is used
more as a pocket or receptacle for their
trinkets than as protection for the head.
Primitive as are these wild people of the
islands, they have been taught to use the
telephone and typewriter, and get much
amusement from these modern instru
ments of white civilization.
In contrast with many barbaric customs
still In vse. the Suyoc members of the
Igorrote tribe give an interesting exhibit
of mining and smelting ores brought from
their copper and gold mines at home. The
women of this tribe may be seen follow
ing the Industrial pursuit of weaving
bright-colored cotton cloths.
One of the most interesting sights of the
40-acre Philippine exposition is the model
Time seemed to go on wings. John now
seemed to seek her out a little more; he
walked and talked with her, and a new
interest in him seized upon her, especially
after Maude confided to her that Mr.
Lane seemed to be quite taken with
Theresa, Theresa, Indeed! This tall,
bronzed man, with the fine, serious blond
face and earnest eyes and his firm jaw
this man who swayed judges and juries,
who knew and managed men, made tho
society polish of Teddy and Sammy seem
mawkish, and the literary culture of the
Reverend Mr. Jackson a pale and sickly
thing. She wanted to live! What was
tho money? John Lane was succeeding,
and Alicia liked success. And she sighed,
and wore the blue and white dresses that
he used to like.
He spoke much of his state, of Its
possibilities, of tho beauty of its scen
ery, of his life there and of the people
he knew, and there seemed to be a
Bertha Allyn whom he mentioned oft
ener than was necessary. Also he
dally went Into the city for an hour
or two and fumed about hotel lobbies.
Mrs. Jed was quick enough to see
tne general outlines of his plan of
action, and took the keen pleasure of
a born matchmaker in helping him
out The young people went fishing
and golfing and picnicking. They
danced and flirted, and Lane and the
clergyman became fast friends.
Theresa ceased operations on Sammy
and concentrated her effective bru
nette charms upon the young Western
lawyer. Alicia, half angry and wholly
sore-hearted, decided to return to
Chicago and go in for slumming or
Journalism or something. Dawdling
bored her. She would take care of
herself, and she would not marry a
man she could not lovo. As for John,
he would marry that hateful sho
knew she was hateful! Allyn girl and
think he was happy. Woll, she didn't
care! So she was extremely gay and
flirted with Teddy, even beyond her
usual generous limits.
A week after his arrival Lane an
nounced at breakfast that his busi
ness was nearly finished and that he
must leave them the evening of the
next flay. A case "at home needed his
attention. He was sorry. He had had
such a Jolly good time, and his trip,
thanks to them all. had been nnriv
all pleasure. Alicia's heart sank, but
she smiled with polite regret To her
tho next morning was the morning of
the last day, and it was the same with
John Lano, but Instead of telling her
so he asked her if she would drive
him to town in the Dony-cart Allftln
consented readily enough, but with
apparent unconcern. He said he had
a few last errands.
She held tho dancing ponies while
he visited the postoffice. a hotel or
two, and Anally tho courthouse, where
he stayed what semod hours, but
was in reality but a few minutes.
Then -they drove back again and
lounged about with the others until
luncheon.
In the afternoon they all went out
to the links, which extended smooth
and green over a gently rolling tract
bounded on one side by a pretty
little stream. The other sido ended
In a bit of tangled wildwood which
was crossed by an old-fashioned Yan
kee fence and which the Stanleys
carefully preserved from any destruc
tion of its primitive wild beauty. Thev all
sauntered along, and John after a while
fell into the rear with Alicia. When they
came to the wood he called to the others:
Go on and play your game. I Re
lieve we won't come. I want to tell
Miss Alicia something."
"Oh." jeered Theresa, good-naturedly,
"and we are not asked to come,
too?"
"You are not," John assured her;
"not until you are called.
"Is that hint mant for me also?"
.asked Jackson with a humorous grin.
"Yes. when I want when we want
you I'll whistle through my fingers
and then you can come a-runningv"
Thev went on laughlnir at his nonsense,
and John led Alicia Into the shade of the
old oaks. '
"You didn't care to play, did you? No.
I thought not! Let's sit on this log and
talk. 1 can whack a ball around a field
when I get back to Colorado and haven't
an old-time friend to talk with."
"An old-time friend," thought she,
"was better than nothing at all!" So
they talked about old friend3 and new,
about the little Iowa town where they had
gone together to school, of the college
days later, of music and politics, of every
thing but of the times he had said that
he loved her and had asked her to be his
wife, and of the parting close at hand.
The wind stirred the forest at their
backs, and a red-headed woodpecker tap
ped industriously at a dead trunk near by.
John pointed the bird out to his com
panion. "Alicia, dp you remember that wood
pecker's nest I found In Baker's woods
when you were 10 and I was 12 or so?
And how I took you out to see the eggs?"
"Yes, end you bad to bore a hole in the
Filipino school, where these primitive peo
ple are Instructed in the rudiments of
modern edeation by a native teacher, Ml&i

arrow and the Moro his abode on the
water to sit for hours at a varnished desk
in a typical American schoolhouse and
study the A B Cs.
The Visayan village, offering the higher
type native, furnishes an Interesting In
dustrial display in beautiful embroiders

woodcarvlng done by the men. Visitors
may also see the primitive, and, in some
parts of the Islands, chief means of trans
portation, the carrabao, or water buffalo,
and cart. There will be dancing and sing
ing by native Visayan boys and girls in
the Visayan Theater, music by tho Vi
sayan orchestra, and weaving of the fa
mous jusl and pineapple fiber cloth.
In addition to the water sports, the
Moros will give exhibitions of their fren
zied Mohammedan spear dance, and the
women and children will render strange
music and perform weird dances. One of
the most daring of savage customs is the
bolo, or knife, dance executed by the fierce
Lanao Moros, now opposing the United
States Army In tho Philippines. Among
the Industrial pursuits illustrated by this
tribe is the hulling of rice by primitive
means.
The Negritos are the aboriginal dwarf
race of the Philippines, and because of
their kinky hair and ebony complexion
are supposed to be a race descended from
the African negro. Even down to the
children 2 and 3 years of age the Negritos
are expert marksmen with tho bow and
arrow. For the entertainment of visitors
the children In the Negrito .yHlage shoot
at smaii coins ana tne men practice with
larger weapons at targets, showing their
accurate aim. They also practice tattoo
ing with bamboo needles, and make fires
by the friction of bamboo sticks.
There are over 30 different tribes and
over 1300 native Filipinos in the Philippine
Exposition. Nearly 52,000.000 has been ex
pended by the United State's Government

is the largest made by a. foreign land at

gasped.
John Lane, what on eartn maae you

"Oh. that was for our parson. I told
him I would whistle when he was wanted.
I don't see how we could be married 'now'
without a parson do you?"
John Kinston Lane-you don t imagine
that I am going to be married up here

he leaped to the ground and stood looking
up at her.
I don't imagine. I know. My fair and

There are snakes down here besides
you'll stay right thero till you are mine
absolutely in the eyes of heaven and

"I will not do It! Besides, you have no
license."
"Alicia, yqu said 'now, and that means
the immediate present" They heard
voices. John whistled again to guide
them to the place. He turned to his Iaay
love and continued:
"Dear girl, you took me to the court
house this morning to get the license
here It is." He pulled the paper from his
pocket and laughed at her amazement, as
the party of golfers came up laughing and
shouting.
Under her breath Alicia made a last
threat
"John, you don't flare! I'll tell Sammy
I'll they will help me."
"No you will not, dear. You have too
much pride and, besides, Alicia, you love
me! Why not now as well as another
time? And as for daring, I'd dare most
anything to get you."
The girl straightened, and her cheeks
glowed with excitement
"So we are wanted, are we?" asked
Mrs. Jed, "and for what?" Her innocence
was a little too complete to bo the real
thing, and the minister was unsus
piciously unsuspecting and calm. The.
hostess went on mockingly. "From the
looks of things I should say that In a
place like this two would be excellent
company" '
"One would be better." InterruDted John.
"that's why we want the parson, and you
for witnesses. Mr. Jackson," he said,
nanaing mm the license and climbing up
beside Alicia, will you kindly proceed to
marry us? My wife will accompany me

"Look here, Miss Alicia, are you doing

John and Alicia answered to the solemn
words that made them man and wife.
Then John lifted his bride from the
fence, and after the congratulations were
over ho carried her back through the
tangled grass. They were a steD or two
behind the others, and Alicia bent until
her lips were close to his ear.

The Looting of Restaurants.
New York Press.-
This- Is the ' season of the year when
hotels and restaurants, as well as de
partment stores, are taking account of
stock. Ono of the heaviest charges on
the page devoted to profit and loss In the
restaurants can be traced directly to the
mania of the average New Yorker for col
lecting souvenirs. The loss from breakage
of dishes in a fashionable restaurant or
cafe is small compared with the loss from
this peculiar form of kleptomania.
A restaurant which Is particularly podu-
lar with residents of Central Park West
has suffered extensively in this way and
when the annual account of stock was
taken the proprietors determined to se
lect for the new furniehings of tho tables
as many unmarked articles as possible.
At ono time they had their monogram
on all the silverware, the classes, manv
of the dishes and the match safes, all of
which disappeared. As an experiment
they bought plain white corrugated match
safes, such as can be bought by the dozen
in the 5 and 10-cent stores and immediate
ly patrons of the cafe seemed to lose in
terest ia matchsafe3 which lacked indt
viduality. Their coffee service had inciudA

talnlng their property.

brand or tobasco distributed sample bot
ties set in small Individual castors of sil

eon ted to the cafe and placed on as many
tables for trial one Saturday night. After
rush hours were over, about 1 A. M., tho
proprietor made the rounds of thesu tn-
bles with a view of learning how much
of the tobasco sauce had been used and
what comments the waiters had heard
about it The most important ft Im
pressed upon his mind during this tour
was that out of is little silver castors
exactly five remained. In four in

archers since the battle of Aglncourt took
place at Le Touquet, near Etaples, last
weeK, in circumstances which were nat
urally very different from those of 1415.
A contingent of English archers, some
50 in number, crossed the Channel to take
part In an international tournament, and
there were nearly 100 French archers
among the competitors. In a match be
tween Englishmen and Frenchmen the
latter proved ahelr decided superiority by
winning handsomely.
10 END THE DEADLOCK
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO
MEET MONDAY.
Effort Will Be MadeTto Settle United.
Statess District Attorneyship and
Collectorshlp of Yaquina Port.
Political burns will be administered to
morrow morning, no matter which way
the brand Is applied, for the Oregon dele
gation Is to get together and reach some
conclusion regarding the appointments
which come under the head of their pre-.
rogatlves.
The most Imoortant office is that of
the United States District Attorneyship.
That appointment has been In the bal
ance for over a year, and some of the
politicians have called for a show-down
on the partof the powers that be. John
H. .Hall has been United States District
Attorney for some time, but It was supr
posed that Judgfe J. C. Moreland would
be given the place for past political fa
vors. Time over and again the rumor
has gone forth that Judge Moreland was
to be the successor of Mr. Hall. Last
Spring the story was started that as soon
as the timber land frauds were disposed
of Mr. Hall would be removed, and the
promises made years ago fulfilled. The
day has not arrived and Mr. Hall is stm
doing business at tho old stand. Senator
Mitchell and Congressman Hermann are
reported to want Hall removed and that
Senator Fulton and Congressman Wil
liamson want him retained.
There Is also going to be a squabble
over the selection of tho Collector of Port
at Yaquina, There are so many out for
the position that Blnger Hermann, if -he
Is correctly reported, does not know who
should have the place. Senator Mitchell
is out of the city, and so Is W. F. Mat
thews. Either one might bo aple to say
who the man will be, but as neither Sen
ator Fulton nor Congressman William
son are here, the name of the successful
candidate is in the air.
Senator Mitchell has decided that he
must have some rest He left the city
last night with a statement at the Part
land Hotel that ho would not return un
til Monday.
When Senator Mitchell does get back.
he will find Senator Fulton on hand, and
tho two Congressmen ready to settle the
questions which are pending. There may
be a few postofllce matters to settle also.
Monday is the day Jor business, ana
business will be done when the delega
tion gets together.
The Queen of Hearts.
Boston Transcript
Tho sun rises; the sun sets. That is
the history of all dynasties and succes
sions. Yet, In the right of her lost
throne, Queen Margherlta of Italy reigns
supreme over a pathetic little kingdom
of memories. When she stirs abroad there
is always a little Roman crowd to stand
by and cheer faintly, "Ia nostra Reglna, la
nostra Margherlta!" They know they
ought not to. They know that not Mar
gherlta but Helen Is Queen. Yet Into their
faint cheers they manage to crowd a bit
of that homage which constitutes Mar
gherlta queen of her fugitive realm. That
doman is oven more eerie than the pope s
temporary sway. Sho has not even a
great, wide, human belief to rule.
She is a queen of hearts. She rules over
Qld Italy's regret that so noble a woman
should have no more a throne.
That regret even assembles about Mar
gherlta a diminutive court. There a few
faithful worshipers cling on and laugh and
dance and courtesy to her gracious maj
esty, and so defy reality. It is a little
decorative incident in the wide humdrum
of the world from day to day.
Once in a while Margherlta takes a step
out of doors and innocently and uncon
sciously Imparts a Jar to Weltpolitik. She
pays a pious visit to her old friend, Car
dinal Sarto, now the pope, and the world
raises an eyebrow over such a shock to
the established order of nature.
Meanwhile, King Victor Emmanuel is
possessed of a wish for simplicity In the
ordering of his own court He wishes few
aides for himself and but few attendants
for his Queen. It is said that no one of
those about the King exerts over him any
thing bordering on Influence. The King
has respect for the constitution. He sees
his Ministers frequently and asks their
views. But he takes pains that they shall
see him in a body always, and speak their
mind In a body, that no one of them may
obtain his ear- to the exclusion of the
others. And so his court moves on, too.
But there are those in Italy who fancy
that In all the gayety of his house there
is 'wanting an elusive something which
was felt in the court before him that has
vanished. '
Rebuking a Sophomore.
Washington Post
Professor William James, of Har
vard, Is popular with tho more intelli
gent and studious of the undergradu
ates. When these young men, how
ever, make rash, or bold, or unbecom
ing assertions, he does not hesitate to
take them down.
Not long ago a sophomore aired some
atheistical views before Professor
James.
"You." the latter said, "are a free
thinker, I perceive. You believe In
nothing."
"I only believe haw what I can un
derstand," the sophomore replied.
"It comes to the same thing, I suppose,'
said Professor James.
