    We hold our stuff until the last,
Then try to rush it through so fast
The printer gets snowed under,
But still we camp upon his trail,
And prod him on with woeful tale, «
Or rant and roar like thunder.
He shoots it through, the proof we get.—
Hell's bells! the job is not right yet. i
We chop that proof to splinters.
It takes two days before he knows
Just what each hieroglyphic shows—
A dumb lot are those printers.
The job's delivered. Some relief!
fo know we're through with rush and
grief,
We ought to thank the printer.
But no! The poor gink's out of luck—
He overcharged us one whole buck.
Once more we damn the printer.

Manila, P. 1.—The recent battle In
the Island of Luzon,
between several hundred religious fa.

armed force of the Philippine con-
stabulary caused little surprise to per-

could prevent some of their own peo- |

Head Hunting Negligible.
Among the wild tribes, perhaps the |
most overrated for flerceness are the
so called head hunters. It Is doubt-

heads actually hunted in the islands
in the last twenty years. The tribes

Forty-three Distinct Tribes.
To deal with them is often dif
cult, partly because of geographical
reasons. Adequate policing is almost
impossible in an archipelago of more
than 7,000 islands, some of which are
almost as large as New York state
and others mere barren rocks jutting
out of the sea. Large areas are jun

The “Difficult” Tribesmen.
The natives believed the prophecy.
They slaved and saved and sold and
turned all the profit into the coffers
of the priests and leaders. When au- |
thorities sent an armed force to break
up the scheme severe fighting followed
and a number of lives were lost.
The general bellef that the Moros, |
the Mohammedans of the southern |
{slands of the Philippine group, are
the most difficult tribesmen to deal
with is not entirely warranted. True,
they are hardier warriors, more cour-
ageous and intelligent than the other
so called “wild tribes.” But the Moros
are becoming educated, while it is next
to impossible to go into the jungles
and mountains and carry civilizing in.

Much of the bad name associated
with the Moros is due to their cus

18 Foot Shark Caught
in Net, Fights to End
Boston.—And 18 foot shark, weigh- |
ing close to a ton, that was strong
enough to bring an 80 foot fishing
boat up short despite the fact her
powerful engines were operating at
half speed, was landed at the fish
pler today by the dragger Natalie II,
whose crew captured and killed the
big fish 25 miles ncrtheast of Thatch:
er's island yesterday.
When the Natalie was suddenly
jerked to a stop on the fishing grounds
with her big ground fish net trailing
under water, Capt. Tony Linquata and
bis crew figured the net might have
fouled a ledge or sunken wreck, so
they hauled it In and discovered the
huge shark in the strands.
The net was landed on the boat by
the powerful winches

Beetle, Farm Pest, Is |
Parasite’s Meal Ticket
Washington.—All human effort to
stay the aggressive Japanese beetle |
has failed, but he is being mowed | |
down by a parasite, the tippia popil-
liavora rohwer. |
This parasite is particularly adapted |
for use in the natural control of the |
beetle because it is a specific parasite |
of this pest In its native land, and In
this country the tendency is preserved.
Soil temperatures here appear to
be favorable for its normal develop
ment. The adult, wasp-like parasite
shows a decided preference for the 1

fortunately this plant is abundant in |
the region now infested with the bee |

Dentist Pulls Own Teeth
and Then Fits Bridge
Omaho.—Dr. H. E. Newton, Omaha
dentist, recently, pulled two of his
own front teeth. After the gums
healed Doctor Newton made a bridge
for the cavities.
The doctor, however, didn't pull the
teeth as an advertising stunt,
The rest of the world probably
would never have known that the
doctor did his own dental work If
it hadn't been for L. C. Chapman, in-
surance man, who held the mirror
while the doctor performed the oper-
ation.

They are based rather on the way people

Te. Democratic Watchman
Any housewife in America, even of most moderate
means, can draw upon the resources of all the world for
her own private use!
You may study and enjoy outright at very small
expense, music—drama—art in all its forms. You
may review the smartest styles each day as they appear
in the pages of newspapers. You may select household
furnishings, modern conveniences, heat-units, refriger-
ation, food in luxurious and endless variety, cosmetics,
dress-goods, automobiles, anything in fact that is com-
monly looked upon as part of the American scene—you
may select these things leisurely and conveniently by
merely studying the advertisements that appear daily,
weekly and monthly in the papers and magazines that
come into your home.
