E. Scott, formerly ass st int principal of the Athena schools, but now a teach er in the government schools In the islands. Mr. Scott who has been over there for several months, has written a t iy int. risting letter to County Superintendent F. K.

Well, most of those that have been reaching Ma nila or other parts of the Philippines, pay they have felt much warmer weather in the far away United Mates oi America, i ian aj iui Ff.f that one does not have so very hot weather here if one is able to take- the thermometer as the Judge of the matter. It has not reached 94 ' degrees since I came here during thej last part of the hot season. It Is said Tl:e Influence of the majority of the Americans here In Manila is hardly for the best . I mean their In fluence on the natives here. I do not know that I ought to criticise the Americans here but It Is a fact that the greater part of the Ameri cans are here because they like a life of adventure. A life of adventure to many means a life that Is anything but moral.

Now Teaching in tlie Philippines. that the themometer never gets any higher than 95 degrees here In Ma nila, but 95 degrees here is more conducive to discomfort than I think 100 degrees is in the Oregon country. Heat causes one to perspire very free ly here. One does so when the ther mometer does not reach more than S3 degrees. Dressvs in WlUte. We dress very thinly here, in white nearly altogether; everything is white. Including shoes, hats and all. Some few dress In khaki, but many avoid doing so on account of the heat. Now for school work. We, In the cities of Importance in the Philip pines, begin work at 7:30 in the morning and continue to teach until 12:30 in the afternoon. We however, have two recesses of 15 minutes each during this period. In the Philippine school of com merce where I am at present assign ed, we have six periods of 45 minutes each. We have one of these periods In which to give our children indivld ual Instruction. My students range in age from 14 to 50, at present Pliillplnos Will Not Think. The students are very Industrious as a rule. Our hardest work Is to get them to think. I have given my youngsters notice that they must do their own thinking and not use the old method under which teeachers did all the thinking and commanded the pu pils what to think. It Is said that the Tagalogs, the tribe of natives we have In this part of the Philippines are the hardest to deal with on account of their love for opposing the authorities In power. This might be true, but I have found the students all right. There Is this however, about the filipino people in general whom I have met. both In school and In the commercial world here in Manila, you can not rely upon them for the truth. It is also true that they steal all they can get their hands on, but this fault is now being eradicated as the laws here at pres ent punish stealing very severely. getting tnree .pesos a night. A peso is by law Just one half of one U. S. A. dollar. We have night school, while It is in session, on the night of every school day. Likes Hto Work. I like It here quite well. I am per haps different from most people, for there are so many regretting that they came here. I may do so before my contract of two years expires. One does not have to stay out the two years but It Is to one's interest fi nancially to do so. If there Is any special thing that you would like to have me write you about while here I should like to have you mention It. Shall be pleas ed to hear about my former schools and how the people are behaving In general. JAMES H. E. SCOTT. iff Often Tbe Kidneys Are Weakened by Oyer-WorL lbealtby KiJnejs Make Impure Blood.

JAP TAKES BANDITS GIN. lss Jul Jitsu and Bents Off Koior, Who Had Taken Employer's Money. Three shots were fired by a high wayman, who engaged in a fierce struggle with H. Hata, a Japanese laundry driver, at Rainier boulevard and King street, shortly before 9 o'clock last night, says the Seattle, P. I. The Japanese by a Jiu Jitsu hold fi nally forced the bandit to let go of the revolver. Before the victim could shoot, after he had secured the wea pon, the footpad made his escape in the darkness. The street lights were out in the neighborhood and it was very dark In the vicinity. N The shots attracted policemen from several beats near by ,and a hunt for the thug was Instituted at once, but he managed to make his escape. Hata drives a wagon for the Star laundry. 1229 Jackson street. He was making some deliveries late last night and left his wagon near the corner of Rainier boulevard and King street. It was while he was returning to the wagon that he met the thug. The command, "Hands up!" met with ready compliance from the Japanese. He was startled by the sudden com mand and by the glittering revolver that was shoved at him. While Hata held his hands in the air the highwayman took $6 from his pockets. That money belonged to his employers, the laundry company. The! thug then reached for Hata's watch! in bis vest pocket. The Japanese had) stood as he was ordered while thej company money was taken from him, ' but the watch had represented his! own savings, and quickly he decided to' make a fight to save It. He lunged ' forward and caught the bandit by his right wrist. His grip was strong, and ! although the thug shot three times,! the Japanese held the muzzle of the: revolver away from him. ' Finally, by a quick wrench of thej wrist, using a simple Jiu Jitsu hold,: the Japanese forced his asasilant to j drop the weapon. The two men then struggled for a short time, before the; thug broke away and ran. The Jap--anese stooped, picked up the revm-i ver and looked for his adversary, but the man was gone. The highwayman carried a 38-call-ber Harrington & Richards revolver. He wore no mask. pleads that he murdered her because he loved her and very probably he too will be acquitted and cheered. There is seemingly no Italian Jury that will crnvict a man for killing his wife or a rival. Saved by Her Psyche Knot. Altoona.

She was leaning against the railing on the front porch when It gave way and she was thrown backward to the sidewalk, 10 feet below.
