DON'T YOU HEAR BABY CRY?
Do you forget that summer's coming with
all its dangers to the little ones all troubles
bred in the bowels.
The summer's heat kills babies and little
children because their little insides are not in
good, clean, strong condition.
Winter has filled the system with bile.
Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash,
flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or
constipation, all testify that the bowels are out
of order.
If you want the little ones to face the comine dangers with
out anxious fear for their lives, see that the baby's bowels are
gently, soothingly, but positively denned out in the spring time,
and made strong and healthy before hot iveather sets in.
The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they
ask for more) is CASCARETS. Nursing; mothers make their
milk mildly purgative for the baby by eating a CASCARET
now and then. Mama eats a owwuui4, uy kc
!0c box of CASCARETS to-day and you will find that, as we
little and big children! insides are

SOME LATE INVENTIONS.
For u In painting signs a Heerlng
guide baa bef-n patented, comprising a
pair of rulers Joined by adjustable
clamps, which allow one ruler to be set
at any required angle to the other ruler,
thus indicating the slant of the edges
of each letter. '
To protect an open carriage from
rain an improved cover is adapted to
encircle the neck of the driver and
project outward, to be attached to the
edges of the wagon body, with a water
proof cap connected to the neckband
of the cover by flaps.
In an improved washing machine two
independent arms are pivoted at the
center of the cover, with perforated
beaters secured to the Inner ends of the
arms, the latter being grasped one in
each hand and operated Independently
to beat the clothes.
A handy lamp-filling attachment for
oil cans has a tube extending from the
bottom of the can through an air-tight
cap, with a crook at the outer end, a '
second pipe being T-shaped, with an
air bulb on one end to force air into '
the top of the can and drive the oil j
out. ' '
Water pipes can be scoured and
cleaned by a new German apparatus,
which is composed of two globular '
floats to tit the interior of the pipe, car
rying between them a toothed scraper 1
which engages the sides as the floats
are forced through by the action of the
water. j
An Ohio man has patented an Im

always In hand, he stood over them as
a harsh schoolmaster stands over his
boys In school. No weak-kneed burghet
ever came to Cronje for leave to go

New York. (Special.) Fred Heppe,
who for nine months was a prisoner in
a Filipino camp, and whose epitaph
was written by those who thought him
dead, has arrived in New York, and
the government, which marked him off
Its books as deceased, has been forced
to give him aJl his back pay.
Heppe was captured by Filipinos
within four miles of Manila on May 30
of last year. He was an officer of the
hoBpltal ship Relief, and she lay at
anchor in Manila Bay two miles from
land, quite close to the heavy guns of
the monitor Monadnock.
The nearest shore was inventoried as
being within the American lines. Chas.
Iilandfoid, third engineer of the relief,
who was Heppe's chum, had driven
along the coast line, and he and Heppe,
to celebrate Decoration day, took a
boat and went for a row to see what it
looked like.
"W'e were a couple of hundred yards
from the shore," said Heppe, "when the
Filipinos, who were hiding in the woods,
opened on us. Bad shots, those coons
are, or they'd have got us. We fell to
the bottom of the boat. There was
some pig iron In her for ballast, and I
piled it up against the stern sheets,
making her an ironclad. Every time
we raised our heads above the gunwale
they popped away at us. The bides were
riddled with bullets.
"Then a dug-out came from the shore
with four armed men aboard and three
peddlers. It pulled alongside, and the
man in charge, the blackest-looking
devil I ever saw, barefooted, with his
shirt outside his trousers and with a
big yellow hat on, took charge of us,
He grinned and said Am!go,' which
means 'Friend.
"The Monadnock was about a mile
and a half away, but she could do noth
ing, even if those aboard her saw our
capture', for a shot sent at the dug
out would have sunk us, too.
"They took us ashore to a house,
pave us some mangoes to eat and made
Us write our names In a book. Then
they rushed us to a rebel headquarters
at Imus, seven miles from Manila. The
Insurgents had things pretty much
their own way around there then. They
Kent us to San Francisco de Malabon,
on foot, with a couple of Filipinos in
charge of us armed with rifles and in
ttructions to shoot us if we tried to
get away.
"We thought that when they learned
we were from a hospital ship they'd
et us go, but that was where we. were
fooled. They sent us to Tndong, thirty
miles from Manila, where they had a
couple of hundred Spanish prisoners.
"They treated us well, apologizing
for the food and telling us what we
well knew, that grub was hard to get
In war time.
"The American troops pestered them
good deal at Indong and drove them
out. We could hear their ries, but
never saw them. During our entire
stay there we didn't ?ee any American
soldiers except those Filipinos brought
In as prisoners, though we heard them
often.
"It was made so hot for the Fili
pinos that they took us to Llpa, three
days' travel. It is a rich city, with
colleges to which the planters send
their children to learn English. We
met here a couple of Englishmen, who,
after being shipwrecked and spending
Phoenix, Ariz. (Special.) Eight thou
sand Pima Indians on the Gila reeer
Vation, thirty miles from Phoenix, are
destitute, and a like number of Papa
ins, the human parasites of the Plmas,
i are In distress. The famine is the more
deplorable because the Indians, who
boast their ignorance of the color of
the white man's blood, and for genera-
j tions constituting a self-supporting na-
ition, have been reduced to pauperism
and a slow process of starvation at the
Instance of the white settler.
J For generations the peaceable Pimae
raised large grain crops, and the l'a
agos, who roam over a vast dry sec
lion . of Southern Arizona, . annually
locked north to work In the harvest
Ileitis with the Plmas, sharing the
crops. A few years ago white settlers
Ligan diverting the water which the
Minus originally appropriated, and by
, (fcgrees this flow of the Salt river hus
' been entirely pre-empted by them.
I The Plmas are enduring the present
famine patiently. They are subsisting
011 dry beans, picked from mesquite
shrubbery, and mescal, a paste of little
nourishment made from a plant. Their
iiatus dally grows worse, and the out-
' look for immediate relief is gloomy.
, The Papagos have not been reduced
quite to the extremity of their kindred
I tribe, and probabljf nver w 111 be. When
the famine tighten Its grip they will
resort to cattle stealing, not uncommon
unong them when rations run law, and
which usually leadu to bloody encoun
ieis with cowboys.
' 8. M. McCowan, superintendent of
fhe Phoenix Indian industrial school,
has been directed by the Indian de
partment to moke an examination of
the condition of the Plmas. He visited
the twrvatlon, which Is now a parrhed
desert, and wu amazed at the suffer
lugs of the uncomplaining Plmas. The
Indians Ilvo.ln inud and brash huts
scattered over the 'reservation. As
many as fifteen huddle together at
plght in one hut, wnkh Invarisbly Is

twenty-one days In sn open boat, we t
captured by the Filipinos, wh would
n't believe their story that they we;
not Americans, or at any rate didn't
feel like taJdng any chances of being
fooled.
"We were nine months with the Fi'i
pinos, Rlandford and I, They fed ue
well and clothed us. The guards had
orders to protect us from crazy na
tlves, who often wanted to run us
through with their knives. The Fili
pinos, we found, worshiped the name
of Aguinaldo as thpy would that of a
god. My Impression of the race is that
they are the most thoroughly developed
liars and thieves in the world. I wou'd
trust one of them about as far as I
could swing an ox by his tail. They
would sooner lie for nothing than teif
the truth for pay.
"The movable camp at length struck
a place called Penz, on the coast, about
300 miles by water from Manila. There
we were in charge of a Filipino major.
The Spanish officers told him that if he
i
would let us all escape they would pay
him $5,000. :
"At 2 o'clock one morning he allowed
seven of them to get away in an open
boat which they had stocked with jerk
ed beef and water. There were some
Spaniards and one of the Englishmen,
a man named Roberta. They went
about Fixty miles and were then picked
up by a Khip which tok them the rest
of the way to Manila. There they told'
the story of the prison camp, and ai
Spanish steamer, the General Oliver,
was dispatched to rescue us.
"At that time I was frightfully ill
with fever, and could hardly move. Tha
remaining prisoners were guarded by
bolomen, so called because the are
armed with the bolo, a long, sharp
knife, with which they will rip up a
man with neatness and dispatch,
"In a few days the General Oliver
was sighted. The bolomen decided to
retreat inland, and take the prisoners
with them. They made urgent signs
for us to accompany them, but we pre
tended not to understand. They were
afraid to kill us, as they believed they
might be caught and hanged. So they
went without us.
"The steamer made a landing and
took us to Manila, where we had Ions
been put down as dead. The Filipino
major came along, and the Spaniards
kept their word with him and gave him
his $5,000.
"There will be fighting on the island
and bushwhacking for a long time to
come. The very Ignorant Filipinos
hate the Americans, and may never be
come reconciled to our rule, but those
who own things are generally glad we
arrived. They look to us to protect
them from their own countrymen in the
bandit business.
"I look on the Philippines as a ruch
country. If you throw seed anywhere
there it will grow."
Heppe is about 25, a good sample of
the sturdy, active American, He is a
New Yorker. He supports a little sis
ter. An aunt of his is a school prin
cipal, and he and she are writing a
book based on his adventures. At pres

Disease is threatening to augment the
misery of the famine-stricken nation.
Superintendent McCowan , declare
that the sole salvation of the Indians
Is In a federay appropriation for the
construction of a storage reservoir.
Government hydrographers have re
ported favorably upon the construction
of a dam at The Buttes, on the Gila,
but the congress has not taken action.
An appropriation, of $,13,000," said
Mr. McCowan, "has been made for the
relief of the destitute Plmas. Rations
will be distributed before the end of
the summer, and the sufferings will be
alleviated for a short period, but the
appropriation will not preclude a recur
rence of the famine. The Indians are
anxious to work and would work very
cheaply. I believe they should be em
ployed In the construction of a reser
voir, which would cost the government
only about $2,000,000. Thrift and Inde
pendence of 16,000 red men would fol
low, and many acres would be reclaim
ed by white farmers without danger of
impoverishing the Indians who tilled
the land and reveled In plenty before
the advent of the white man to this
region."
The prize offered for the accepted de
sign for the gateway of Denver's city
park was won by a 10-year-old boy of
that city, Hart Wood, from a dozen
well known architects of long experi
ence and training, though young Wood
has been studying only a year and a
half. He early showed a talent for
drawing, and even painting In oIIr, but
never attempted architectural drowlng
until the beginning of his actual stu
dies In the subject. He will enter the
University of Pennsylvania In the fall.
