Death.

Josephine Rizal, the young widow who
was "A leader in the Philippine rebellion
and the execution of whose husband was
one cause OF the assassination of Pre-
mier Canovas by Angiolillo, is now in
America. The rebels call her the Span
ish Joan of Arc. and few women have
had a more eventful career.
Mrs. Rial whose marriage TO Or. Ri
Zal an hour before he was shot was un-
questionably the most thrilling or at
least dramatic incident of the Philippine
insuIeCtion will come into public view
again. She will soon leave for England,

operation upon the part of the British
government in the effort which she pro-
poses 10 make TO establish TO the salts
faction OF the world that her husband
had absolutely no connection with the
Philippine rebellion. she VIII ask this
cooperation as a subject Of Great Brit
ain.
Her sudden and unexpected appear
ance i'm America was very much of a
surprise. 1t was we'll known that Mrs.
Rial was among the rebels, doing what
she could TO encourage them in the
presence of a succession of reVerses, but
il was not thought she could leave Lu-
zon island, the island of the Philippine
group that has witnessed practically all
the fighting, without being detected by
the Spaniards and then perhaps severe
ly dealt with.
Another surprise was experienced
when IL was learned that the young
woman after consortinE with the rebels
for months, making speeches, singing
songs and actually participating In en-
gagcments between the contending
forces. had displayed unlimited courage
and nerve by not leaving the principal
camp OF the rebels. but by boldly and
dehantly going to Manila, and going to
the home Of the aged mother OF Dr.
Rizal. a home that is necessarily watch
ed by the Spaniards.
Mrs. Rial is indeed an interesting
character, she has not yet reached her
tweuty-frst milestone. Her young life
is fun of interesting and dramatic
events. That she should be standing
like a warrior bold" armed with a re-
volver, dagger and rifle, behind rebel
breastworks is perhaps only I'm accord
with the conditions surrounding her
when she first saw the light OF day.
She was once known as the daughter
of the regiment" a fine British rcgi-
mcnt. Now she is the leading figure in
the Philippine war Mrs. RiZal was the
daughter of James Brackn. sergeant
and schoolmaster i'm a British regiment

in masher get up described as a black

loves you for yourself and. though some
times he may seem a bit greedy. he'd
stick 10 you even when the good things
of life are no longer yours.
Talking about dogs reminds me OF
something very funny that happened
not long ago among a family of them.
II consisted Of a French poodle. an
English bulldog, a French bulldog, two
Prince Charles dogs, "A fON terrier and
dog the breed of which wasn't very
clearly defined, but which was the
smartest OF the lot. They had always
got along In life most beautifully, but
one day the English bulldog lost her
temper, flew at one of the Prince
Charles dogs and killed it i'm about
minute and a half. There was great
grief in that stable, and that afternoon,
when poor little Flossy was 20 be bur
led. all the dogs from the nearby
stables came TO go 10 the funeral They
marched two by two, with the coach
man, who was their guardian, by their
side and the man who had had charge
OF Flossy carried her ahead in a shoe
box. The queer part was that the mur-
deress was not allowed 10 go TO tho
funeral. So when the stable was shut
she was locked in but as the process
sion was moving she was visible at the
window, looking with longing eyes at
the funeral train, as IL she didn't ox-
actly comprehend why she might not
join her walls TO the rest Of the mourn
eTs.
Not a dog in that procession but
seemed to realize exactly what had
happened, and they all OF them for

rhe big French poodle could have
knocked her out in one round, but they
all realized that she had been mean
enough TO Kill a little dog, and they had
a proper and doglike contempt for her.

to make its survival a matter Of doubt,

Mrs. Rizal married her husband while
he was under sentence OF death. They
had long been in love with each other
