The opinions of foreign statesmen on
the Philippine question are of little
value 10 the United States, because
such critics naturally view the matter
from their own standpoint. which is
one common to all foreign nations, and
which looks upon the retention of cap
turcd territory as matter of course
If England or France or Germany
stood in the same relation to the
Philippines that the United States now
does. the question Of the future owner
ship of the islands would not have
been raised. or even suggested; it
would be universally conceded that
they belonged to the conquerer. 1t is
the United States itself that raises the
question, nobody else, and the United
States must decide it for itself, ana
from its own standpoint, not from that
OF other nations.

The Little Red SchooIhouse

A mile up the roadway from the place
where I was born.
Nestled 'mongst the roses and the way
ing golden corn,
Stood the little red schoolhouse we all
loved so We'll,
And in fancy now l hearken to the music
of its bell.
o, the ding, dong, ding of its staccato
ring,
The memory of it takes me back to lifc's
glad spring.
And ! trod once again the long winding
lane,
With all the dear companions whom l
look for now in vain.
There we gathered every week day. heard
the old schoolmaster's PRAYER.
Lord take unto thy keeping the lambs
within my care;
Then we loved one another, in happiness
we dwclt,
Never asking of the other at what shrine
he knelt.
But times have changed since those dear
days of childhood long ago,
And folks today seem different from the
ones we used to know,
When we were boys together rompinc
| thro' the field and dell
And chasing down the roadway when we
heard the old school bell

Now, in the course of army events, ii
came to pass that a strange fate made
Alexander Osborne second lieutenant
in the troop of which his brother was
first lieutenant. And the first lieuten-
ant continued his ambitious goading.
Alexander was independent at present,
and resisted to some purpose. He
would not spend his nights in study
and his days in wire pulling. The War
Department did not reward that sort of
thing, he said; it was action it APP
proved. Wait until his time for action
came-then he would satisfy his broth.
or.
And the time for action did come
But the action was disappointing. They
marched two hundred miles, and then
marched back again. Alexander COM
planned loudly that he had had no occa-
sion to display his prowess in battle.
He should have been quite safe in
this, for that evening they would be
once more In Grant. But the Indian
host is not to be reekoned with. At
sunset-within ten miles Of the post
the Apaches caught the battalion in
ravine, and kept it there until well into
the night.
The moon came up and showed to the
bucks hiding behind the cedars and scrub
oaks on the rise the soldiers penned
in the gully below them. 1t was mere
ly, for the latter, q question Of holding
out and having few men killed. The
danger was not great unless the Apacbes
should be reinforced or the couriers
should not reach the fort. So the men
took shelter behind bushes and rocks,
and fired at the flashes of light in the
darkness above them. The officers
walked about in the deep shadows, fir
ing, too, and giving orders.
First Lieutenant Osborne was with
his sergeant and another lieutenant
when he came upon Second Lieutenant
Osborne cropched down between two
rocks, his arms clasped over his bent
head and his carbine dropped on the
ground beside him.
There was no mistake to be made.
The other lieutenant hesitated, the SER
geant drew back. But Osborne went
up and touched his brother with his
foot.
Lieutenant Osborne" he said to the
junior, ego and report to the officer in
SO"bhohu3 Ooptui i Slhl mo- bndll
have preceded you and have you re-
ported for cowardice."
He went in search of the captain and
made his report, and Second Lieute-
dant Osborne was sent under arrest
back to the dismounted horses in the
rear. Then the first lieutenant threw
open his blouse and covered his breast
with wide, white silk handkerchief
that cleaned even in the shadow, and
and walked out into the full moonlight.
1t was matter of only moment be-
fore the hidden Apaches saw him with
the white target on his bosom. And
two of them at least, took aim at the
target and hit it full in the center
and First Lieutenant Osborne pitched
forward on the stones. - Gwendolin
Overton, in the Argonaut.

Corn That Catches COOns.

Eight or ten years or so ago there
was a lake near Morrilton covering
about 10000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried off all the water of this lake
when the floods subsidized The bed of
the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. 1t is ten feet
deep, an nothing the River Nile ever
produced could excel it.
This year Mills and Haley have a
crop of corn on about 1000 acres of
this land. They sowed the corn broad
cast like wheat, and scores of "shoots"
are also loaded down.
SIT is the most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world" declared
Professor Cox, and to make the story
even more interesting, he ended it by
declaring that "coon" was caught be
tween the stalks, and, being unable to
extricate itself because they were so
thick, was killed by those who came
upon little Rock (Ark.) Democrat.

Why the Needle Points to the
North Pole.

Over three hundred years ago a sci
enlist studied out the theory of the
compass and why the needle pointed
TO the north. 1t is not, however, a fact
that the needle points exactly to the
north. Sometimes it veers to the east
and sometimes to the west, depending
on the locality, and, as curious phe-
nomenon, it does not always point the
same way in the same place. The en-
tire earth is magnet and naturally
controls all the lesser magnets. The
pole in the northern hemisphere is
consequently called the northern mag
net and the opposite the southern mag
net, but, says an authority on this sub
ject, "Since poles of contrary names at
tract each other, while those of the
same name repel each other, it follows
that the pole of the magnetic needle
which turns to the north is really the
southern pole of the needle; while the
pole turned toward the south is the
north pole. AS the vertical plane pass
ing through the poles does not coincide
with the meridian plane OF the place,
it follows that the needle does not al
ways turn to the true north. The
declination, as the angle of the two
planes is called, is not the same in
every part of the world, which accounts
for the variations" The study of the
magnetic influences is most interest
ing, but as rule the subject is quite
imperfectly understood.-The Ledger.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrOw's Method Of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest OF
Scientists,

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various impurities, which, if permitted to
course through the system, quickly render the
blood unfit to carry on the process of healthy
nutrition and ultimately result in the develop
ment of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the per-
Torrance of this function is Immediately mani
tested in general weakness of the body;
tendency to give out with little exertion. This
symptom is closely followed by others of much
more distressing nature which it is often GUS
tomary to attribute to other causes
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of Spring
field Ohio, using as basis for his work the
theory that the kidneys are responsible for the
condition of our health has produced new
remedy which he has named Morrows Kidne-
oids, the purpose of which is to act directly on
the kidneys eliminating all unnatural deposits
and rectifying the damage caused by their ex-
istence
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention and
established new method of treating disease
the efficacy of which cannot be disputed.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in yellow
tablets so small as to almost rob them of their
virtue in the eyes of those not versed in medi
cine, but so potent is their influence that their
effects are noticed almost Immediately.
They are now on sale generally. If not to
be had of your dealer, they will be sent post
paid on receipt of so cents per box, 6 boxes for
$3.50, by the Herb Medicine Co, Springfield,
Ohio.

And spelling and building again.
And long for the dear old river
Where dreamed my youth away
For dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
am sick Of the snowy seeming
Ola life that is half a lie,
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the thronR that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
would go where the children play
For dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies I'm day.
can feel no pride, but pity,
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patien lives OF the poor
o, the little hands too skilful,
And the chlld-mind checked with weeds;
And the daughters heart grown wilfui,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No, no; from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies from mart and stage,
would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let us dream as OF yore by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away
For dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies in day.
