The Colonel's Romance, "Colonel," said the romantic girl, "tell me how you got that scar upon your left cheek. Oh, I just know it must be a thrilling story. Was it made by a bullet or a saber thrust? I prefer a saber thrust. It seems so much more like the knighthood of old. You can't see a bullet coming, and there is no way to escape it or combat it, but when your enemy rushes at you with his up-lifted saber there is the possibility of parrying his blow and cutting him down. That seems much more manly, even if the victor in the fray does receive a wound or two, than to just be laid low or to lay the enemy low by a bullet that cannot be seen. There is no bravery in shooting a man, but there is something knightly in meeting another face to face with a sword. Your scar looks like one that was left by a gleaming blade, and I know that your enemy must at least have been rendered hors de combat. Tell me all about it, colonel—when it happened and how. I am so interested in war stories." "Yes," he replied, "I agree with you fully about the sword and saber business. There isn't much bravery in shooting a fellow, and there is something knightly about standing up and thrusting and parrying with a blade. But I got this wound while acting as an innocent bystander at a Chicago strike riot. It was a brick."—Chicago Times-Herald. Lost No Time.

"It cured me of bloody flux. I cannot speak too highly of it." This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere. For sale by P. A. Derge. Get Into Line!

We sat that afternoon on the broad veranda of a house on the bank of a great river. It was perfect October weather—the sky cloudless, the dry, sweet air stirred gently by the breath of a breeze from the gulf, the sun slowly creeping down toward the mountains, which made a ragged edge of the horizon, their foothills already deeply shadowed by the first touch of twilight. Around us on every side stretched the primeval desert, wrapped in sunshine and in silence. But just where we sat the desert had been vanquished for a space of one hundred and thirty acres. Here were the deep green of alfalfa fields and the long lines of vineyards and orchard. The air was fragrant with colors of growing oranges, lemons and limes. On the bottom lands below we could see the Mexican laborers harvesting the crops. And beyond them the Rio Colorado, sweeping swiftly toward the Gulf of California. Miles below, where the slanting sun fell fully across its course, the murky waters were transformed into a pathway of rippling gold. From our oasis on the Arizona side we could look across the stream to the most famous of all the waste places in America—the Colorado Desert. It lay there in the gathering gloom, stretching away from the river to the mountains, a vast and mysterious blank, awaiting the makers of history. Thousands of transcontinental travelers know it by sight, and millions of readers know it by name. But our little party, some from the Atlantic and some from the Pacific coast, had assembled here because we wished to know it by contact and to solve the mystery of its final utility to man. and technical studies the physical plan must be built. But rather more important for our present purpose were three humbler members of society. These were the Indian guide, the Mexican teamster and Chinese cook. With this international aggregation, to which we now added our American selves, we felt as truly cosmopolitan as did the allied armies of Europe on the field of Waterloo. Our caravan consisted of three stout wagons, with an abundance of cots, blankets, saddles and provisions. We headed southwest toward the boundary of Mexico, leaving the mighty river on the left. Almost immediately we entered dense growths of mesquite trees and rank weeds of several varieties. The soil was a rich, dark brown loam, formed by deposits of the river. Five miles from the place of starting we found ourselves on gravelly ground, where a range of rocky hills creep down to the river's edge. Another mile brought us to the melancholy town of El Rio. This little cluster of houses, originally built in connection with mining operations, is now deserted and dilapidated. We kept on south and were soon again upon good soil, level and wooded. This quickly led us to a spot of cultivated land, which had been made to blossom in the desert. It is known on the map as “Hanlon’s,” which is the name of the man who made his home there. We examined, with much curiosity the results of his small cultivation. Our most interesting discovery was a group of date palms, from thirty to fifty feet high, bearing luxurious, ripening fruit. Very few people are aware that dates can be successfully grown in any part of this country, which simply goes to show that we are by no means fully acquainted with the marvelons territory we acquired from Mexico through statesmanship and the sword. Mr. Hanlon told us that the date begins to bear when five years old, but not courteous official found nothing dutiable in our caravan, and soon bade us a friendly “Adios.” CAMPING IN THE WILDERNESS. We spread our cots that night on the banks of a dry river channel, under the shelter of the beautiful willows. You can never know what it is to rest until you sleep beneath the stars and fill your lungs with the wonderful air of the far Southwest. It is soft and dry and pure beyond anything that ever filled the chamber of a palace. When we awoke in the morning we found that we had divested ourselves not merely of all the weariness of the previous day, but of the weariness of years. Joe Let, the Chinese cook, seemed to endorse this opinion as he watched us devour the breakfast he had cooked. We drove that forenoon through a growth of weeds so rank that at first it seemed almost to forbid progress. Some of the arrow weeds were fifteen feet high. Then we encountered large tracts of wild hemp, which reached the same prodigious dimensions. Everywhere the land was level and the soil rich almost beyond belief. And yet it is not strange, for this “desert,” as we must call it in deference to the old prejudices, is the life-work of the Colorado river whose age surpasses that of a thousand Methuselahs. Through all these silent centuries of the past this wonderful river has been gathering the materials in its long course from the continent and depositing them in this bank where, when the hour should strike, the children of men might draw their checks against it and never see them dishonored. For mile after mile we rode over this rich sedimentary deposit, our wheels moving noiselessly as on a velvet carpet. Once we passed a little settlement of American Indians, who had come down to farm the damp land along the river, raising corn, melons, beans and wheat From our oasis on the Arizona side we could look across the stream to the most famous of all the waste places in America—the Colorado Desert. It lay there in the gathering gloom, stretching away from the river to the mountains, a vast and mysterious blank, awaiting the makers of history. Thousands of transcontinental travelers know it by sight, and millions of readers know it by name. But our little party, some from the Atlantic and some from the Pacific coast, had assembled here because we wished to know it by contact and to solve the mystery of its final utility to man. “Optimists,” you exclaim, lifting the eyebrows of surprise and a glimmer of sarcasm at the corners of the mouth. Yes, of course, it is only the optimist who extends the frontier of civilization. Columbus was an optimist. So were the men who crossed the Alleghanies to find a better land than their fathers had occupied on the sea coast. So, too, were those who banished the old “deserts” from the school geographies by planting the corn belt and the wheat belt in the rich bosom of the Mississippi Valley. It has curiously happened that the fairest spots on this new continent of ours have been those which we used to regard as the most worthless. This is due to the prejudices we inherit from our earliest American ancestors. They came from the humid regions of Europe and settled in the humid regions of America. They became so accustomed to hewing the forest in order to make a clearing for the first planting that when their descendants, generations later, began the settlement of Iowa they sought out the wooded lands, cutting down trees and pulling stumps, though surrounded by millions of acres that stood ready for the plow. They shook their wise old heads and remarked, “Land that won’t grow trees won’t grow anything.” But in time they learned that God had made different conditions in the new country, and that these conditions were not necessarily worse because they were different. After a while they discovered that they were actually better. Hence, it is easy for any one, who knows what miracles have been wrought in our far Western deserts during the last few years, to harbor the suspicion that the great, brown waste which lies on the borders of two republics, as voiceless now as the Mississippi Basin at the close of the Revolution, will some time be as densely populous as the lands of the Nile, as rich in industry as the Kingdom of Holland. If the ancient civilizations bloomed in the arid deserts—as Egypt, Asia Minor and Syria, and the classic lands of the Carthagenians and Moors—why not the new? These were the questions we asked each other as we went to bed that night in our cots beneath the stars, for we preferred to sleep out of doors and mingle the breath of flowers and fruits with dreams of this new conquest which had tempted us into the untrodden fields of the Southwest. THE LITTLE CARAVAN STARTS. We awoke in the morning to find the same brilliant sun shining from the same unclouded sky. This is a country known in the map as “Hanlon’s,” which is the name of the man who made his home there. We examined with much curiosity the results of his small cultivation. Our most interesting discovery was a group of date palms, from thirty to fifty feet high, bearing luxurious, ripening fruit. Very few people are aware that dates can be successfully grown in any part of this country, which simply goes to show that we are by no means fully acquainted with the marvelons territory we acquired from Mexico through statesmanship and the sword. Mr. Hanlon told us that the date begins to bear when five years old, but not considerably until it is seven years old. We found that his prunes, figs, pomegates, grapes, melons and garden vegetables were growing luxuriantly. By the time we had finished our study of the place we were quite prepared to believe Mr. Hanlon when he assured us that his garden had produced green corn fit to eat forty days after planting. In saying this it must be remembered that all the conditions here are utterly different from those which prevail in most all other parts of the United States. They are—but we will let the story unfold to you precisely as it did to us in the course of our expedition. We had proceeded but eight miles from Yuma when we crossed the international boundary and found ourselves on the soil of our sister republic. We were now upon the large tract of Mexican land which is vitally related to the great enterprise we had come to explore. For although the mighty river is the gift of the snows which crown American mountains, thousands of miles to the northward, and although the major portion of the rich lands, which its waters will awaken to opulent life, lies also under the protection of our starry flag. Nature has decreed that the diverted stream must make its highway through these Mexican lands. One of the outlying barriers of the San Bernardino mountains reaches a long arm across that national boundary and says to the canal builders: “The longest way around is the shortest way home.” This is no drawback, however, for on skirting the feet of the mountain intruder the canal will reach hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable Mexican lands, which have been procured as a part of the foundation of this superb enterprise. On leaving Hanlon’s we passed south-westerly into a mesquite forest on a level, alluvial soil. The mesquite is a hardwood tree, growing in some places to the height of thirty or forty feet, with out-reaching branches which often present a total stretch of eighty-five feet. It was easy to forget now that we were in the desert and to imagine that we were approaching good cultivated orchards, for the mesquites looked much like almond trees in size and shape, while their leaves resembled those of the pepper trees, so common in California. And, indeed, these native orchards of the desert have a certain value apart from the shade and wood which they furnish. They bear two crops a year of nutritive beans, which grow in long, white pods. Let no citizen of Boston get excited; these are not blossom in the desert in their map as “Hanlon’s,” which is the name of the man who made his home there.

Some of the country strongly reminded us of The Santa Clara valley in California. During the afternoon we found some uneven country, with genuine Cape Cod dunes. At night we heard the grateful sound of a water fall, which proved to be the Pescadero, and here we camped for a night. While we retired to sleep, our Indian guide disappeared in the moonless darkness. STALWART STONES OF THE DESERT. The guide came back at breakfast time, but not alone; he was accompanied by a gentleman who was introduced to pack our provisions on seats and swim his horses. Our Indian guide sat calmly in his saddle while his little horse paddled through the water. It is hardly necessary to remark that Indian guides are not afraid of damp feet.

STALWART STONES OF THE DESERT. The guide came back at breakfast time, but not alone; he was accompanied by a gentleman who was introduced to pack our materials in its long course from the continent and depositing them in this bank where, when hour should strike,the children of men might draw their checks against it and never see them dishonored. For mile after mile we rode over this rich sedimentary deposit, our wheels moving noisylessly as on a velvet carpet. Once we passed a little settlement of American Indians, who had come down to farm's damp land along their river, raising corn,melons,and wheat without irrigation. In the wild grasses we found much good forage for our horses. The second night we camped on bank of Padrones river.

This is a country where nothing is ever postponed on account of the weather. The ne'er-do-well, who, on being urged to save his money for a rainy day, replied, "Guess you don't know this country, stranger, it never rains here," was pretty nearly right in his meteorology, however much he may have erred in his philosophy of thrift. It was one o'clock in the afternoon when we were informed by the genial Mexican senor, who had acted as quatermaster, that our little caravan awaited us at the edge of the famous desert, across the river. We ferried over to the California shore, a distance of one-fifth of a mile, and saw the dark, deep water flowing uselessly to the ocean past an empire that has waited for centuries to feel the thrill of its living touch. It is like a stream of golden dollars which spend-thrift Nature pours into the sea. Our little party of hopeful explorers had for its chieftain the indomitable man who sees in the transformation of this mighty desert the crowning work of his life. The party included the efficient engineer upon whose surveys Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and sniffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. We were now in a regional wooded with willow and mesquite, but as plain and easy to Charley as Broadway to a New Yorker. During the forenoon we arrived at the Cocopah village and were proudly introduced to Charley's family. It consisted of nine persons, including three young ladies, who slept under a flat roof of arrow weeds. The economy of their household was very simple. Year after year, their routine is even less exciting than that Mark Twain describes in the diary which he kept when he was a boy: the read: "Got up, washed, went to bed." Charley's family get up. They go to bed. There are several worthless tribes of Indians in the Southwest, but the Cocopahs are really not in this class. They are peaceful, work-loving folks who have earned their living by ruddy farming for generations. There are about two thousand of them in this locality, and they will make a useful class of laborers when the country is developed. We had eleven of these Indians as our guests at lunch. They had some eggs and chickens, which we gladly shared with them when served up by Joe Let in the highest style of his art. One of our guests was a beautiful man den, as richly painted as any belle of the main thoroughfare of San Francisco, but with candid red and yellow which made no attempt at deception. We tried to get a photograph of the group, but they declined our profferbribe. Indians believe that to submit to being photographed is sure death. We found the Cocopah country very interesting and readily capable of development. There was an abundance of greenery. Continued on Fourth page. Spread Like Wildfire.

He that forenoon through a weeds so rank that at first it most to forbid progress. Some new weeds were fifteen feet when we encountered large old hemp, which reached the religious dimensions. Here the land was level and in almost beyond belief. And it strange, for this "desert," call it in deference to the races, is the life-work of the river whose age surpasses a thousand Methuselahs. All these silent centuries of this wonderful river has been the materials in its long on the continent and deposit on this bank where, when the old strike, the children of men saw their checks against it and them dishonored. For mile we rode over this rich sedi-deposit, our wheels moving as on a velvet carpet. Once a little settlement of Americas, who had come down to lamp land along the river, melons, beans and wheat JEFFREY ON THE PHILIPPINES Sentimental Sympathy for the Struggling and Designing Tagalos Should Be Largely Confined to Their Own Ranks. Major John B. Jeffrey of the free rural delivery branch of the Postoffice Department, who was in town last week looking over the several routes established here, spoke to a party of friends on the Philippines, where, as our readers are familiar, he spent upward of a year as a staff officer in the United States service. Major Jeffrey is an old newspaper man, and during his stay in Uncle Sam's new possessions acquired a fund of information equaled by few men who have been to the islands. Always an entertaining conversationalist upon any topic, the Major is especially so upon our newly acquired possessions. "Spain kept a standing army inside the walled city of Manila," he said, "and the Filipinos kept a standing army on the outside. Aguinaldo had been settled with and disposed of by Spain, but the Filipino army was held together for the purpose of defending the homes of the Filipions against the mountain tribes who made frequent pilgrimages to the peaceful villages scattered throughout the islands for the purpose of pillage and plunder. It is true that the Filipino soldiers outside the walled city of Manila and the Spanish soldiers inside exchanged courtesies one with the other, and no doubt had full dress rehearsals. But they made common cause against these outlaws which, later on, when he came, Aguinaldo succeeded in establishing a union with. "Our army took the place of the Spanish soldiers in Manila and for a time the Filipino soldiers remained apparently as our allies. At this juncture Aguinaldo succeeded in establishing a confederation of the Tagala tribes in various islands who were fourth, the Sulu archipelago, with an area less than Rhode Island and a population of less than 100,000. "The primitive peoples of the islands are generally supposed to have been the Negritos, now numbering about 10,000. They are found now only in the islands of Luzon, Paney, Negros and Mindanao, and resemble the Papuans of New Guinea. They are known also as the 'hill tribes,' having been driven into the interior by the Malayan invaders. Their principal weapon is a bow and arrow, and as they are rapidly disappearing they are not a political factor. Fully nine-tenths of the native population of the archipelago is of Malayan blood and speak dialects or separate Malayan languages to the number of about fifty. The Tagalas of central and northern Luzon are comparatively a pure Malayan type, and have been the real instigators of the insurrection. The Visayas are more industrious, more gentle and more adaptable than the Tagalas, and the sentiment between them is not friendly. The principal population of Mindanao and the Sulus are of Mohammedan faith, and are known as Moros. They are of mixed Semitic and Malayan stock, and evidently invaded the island from Borneo. Between them and all other tribes there has been continual warfare, as they are a treacherous, indolent, fanatical race given to robbery and violence. "The island of Mindoro, which should not be confused with Mindanao, is really a part of Luzon in the sense that its population is of the same stock and all of its trade is with Manila and ports of Luzon adjacent to its own shores. "The northern part of the island of Luzon, cut off as it is from the central by high ranges of mountains, is peopled by numerous tribes of mixed races, varying in different proportions of Malay, Chinese, Japanese and Negrito. They are not all friendly, by any means, either with one another or with the Rheumatism. Nobody knows all about it; and nothing, now known, will always cure it. Doctors try Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, when they think it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. You can do the same. It may or may not be caused of pillage and plunder. It is true that the Filipino soldiers outside the walled city of Manila and the Spanish soldiers inside exchanged courtesies one with the other, and no doubt had full dress rehearsals. But they made common cause against these outlaws which, later on, when he came, Aguinaldo succeeded in establishing a union with. "Our army took the place of the Spanish soldiers in Manila and for a time the Filipino soldiers remained apparently as our allies. At this juncture Aguinaldo succeeded in establishing a confederation of the Tagalag tribes in the various islands who were bound together by an oath and who selected representatives to confer with Aguinaldo in Manila. These self-constituted representatives undertook to control the industrious peasantry of the islands with whom they had previously been at variance. Aguinaldo then perfected an organization that he might 'loot' Manila, the church, and the peaceful peasantry of the islands, so that it will be seen that all of the sympathy for the fighting Filipinos is wasted upon bands of outlaws and robbers. "That your readers may better understand the situation you may print the following introduction to a magazine article which I have prepared, and which will be published later: "With all the hundreds of islands and the numerous mixed and indigenous people in the Philippine and Sulu archipelagoes, the whole question politically, commercially, geographically and strategically may be simplified by regarding the Philippines as divided into three groups, or districts, and the Sulu archipelago as constituting a fourth. These four groups are, roughly: First, Luzon and Mindoro islands, in the north, with an area equal to Ohio, and a population of 3,500,000; second, the Visayan district, between Luzon and Mindanao, a belt of islands from Palawan on the west to Samar on the east, inclusive, and also Calamian, Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohul, Masabete and Leyte, with an area equal to Kentucky and a population of 2,500,000; third, the island of Mindanao, with an area equal to Indiana and a population of 500,000; Unfortunately the Moros are a fanatical, fierce, lazy, uncertain, unsociable and unscrupulous race, and they must first be dealt with. There are two large placer gold mining districts in the north; the island is remarkable for its timber; it is said that it has everything which grows or is found on the other islands; and besides, nutmegs, cinnamon, pepper, and such things, which thrive as nowhere else. If this is true, then Mindanao must be rich indeed, since the general natural agricultural, mineral and manufactured products of the Philippines are sugar, wax, timber, sandal wood, indigo, copra, spices, pigs, chickens, cattle, hides, sulphur, iron, coal, marble, karlin, lead, mercury, copper, silver, gold, platinum, pearls, mats, textiles, hats, cordage, hemp, cotton, rice, tobacco, coffee, etc. "As for the Sulu group, the Spaniards have never been able to collect any revenues and their occupation has only been effective in the last three years." Doctors try Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, when they think it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. You can do the same. It may or may not be caused by the failure of stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is, you will cure it; if not, you will do no harm. The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health. When Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cures; when it don't, it don't cure. It never does harm. The genuine has this picture on it, take no other. If you have not tried it, send for free sample, its agreeable taste will surprise you.

They had military garrisons in the three principal islands, Tawai Tawai, Sulu and Basilan, the last named being a naval station. From this naval station across Basilan Straits to the Spanish garrison town of Zamboanga, on the island of Mindanao, it is only fourteen miles. Spain has now withdrawn all her garrisons in Mindanao to Zamboanga, and we will have to make a fresh conquest of the whole island. As to the Sulu archipelago, in particular, we will have to police the islands by means of gunboats. The Dutch have a talent for handling these East India peoples, and besides have native troops and native police. We will never be able to make anything out of the Sulus, and they will prove a veritable white elephant. If we could exchange them with Holland for the island of Curacao in the Caribbean sea, for a consideration, we would be fortunate, and we would also secure a good neighbor in the Philippines. "Practically the four centers of interest in these islands are Manila, Ilo Ilo, Zamboanga, and Sulu, the latter being the garrison town on the island of the same name, and former residence of the Sultan of Sulu who was practically disposed by the Spaniards." To remove a troublesome corn or bunion: First soak the corn or bunion in warm water to soften it, then pare it down as closely as possible without drawing blood and apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice daily; rubbing vigorously for five minutes at each application. A corn plaster should be worn for a few days to protect it from the shoe. As a general liniment for sprains, bruises, lameness and rheumatism, Pain Balm is unequaled. For sale by P.A.Derge, druggist.
