The people of the Philippines
are set down as being fond of music,
dancing, gambling and cock
fighting. They live for today and
do not worry about piling up for
tunes for the next generation to
spend. They are not likely to take
kindly to that civilization which
requires them to work.

old habits.

bandmaster, who has had charge of
the Sistersville band for several
years, left last evening for Chicago
where he will remain several days,
