GLAD SHE DIDN'T YELL
when She Pound Out That Her In dus-
trious NeiGhbor Was Not Com.
Rittinx Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
odd Jobs about his home. He cuts ms grass
and trims the walks, and handles a paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
come handy to him, too, and the sound OF his
merry saw makes pleasant music for the
neighbors, who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short, he is a clever all
round workman, and decidedly handy to
have about the house.
one day not long ago the woman OF the
house next door happened to come out on her
back porch There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard.
What she saw scared her SO that she couldn't
move hand or foot. The handy man was ly-
ing prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
feiief. de was very pale, his hair WAS dis.
ordered, and his eyes were rolled up and
nxed IN CHASTITY intentness. Against his
breast he seemed to be pressing some deadly
weapon that glistened as a ray OF Light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried TO scream,
and couldn't. She knew the handy man was
committing suicide
He painted, his face grew red, and his form
The woman on the porch caught her agon-
lied breath and was about to let out 40
horse power yell when she heard the sup
posed suicide anSiously ask:
isn't it through yet?"
Yes" said voice from above, at been
yoost through"
About this time the woman cr III pGrch
understood that the handy man was boring
an auger hoe thr ,ugh the floor of ms porch,
that the deadly weapon was an auger, and
that the hired girl was on hand to watch
the oplfa.ion.
Then tne woman on the porch was glad she
didn't yell.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

GEN. AGU1NALDo,s PLANS.
The Insurgent Leader Desires That the
Philippine Islands become an
American Colony.

LONDON, Jane al.--The Hong Kong
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says:
United States Consul Wildman has re-
ceired no intimation from his govern.
ment with regard to the future of the
Philippines Gen. Aguinaldo desires
that the islands become an American
colony. He declares that, if they can.
not be connected with the United
States, he will insist upon a republic
being formed. If any other country
than the United States wishes TO Sc
cure control of the Philippines, that
country will have to fight for it The
insurgents under Aguinaldo now have
lo.5oo rifles and eight field pieces
The Hong Kong correspondent of
the Times, telegraphing Monday, said:
The impression is gaining ground here
that encouraged by their successes the
insurgents in the Philippines will be-
come intolerant of American control.
Aguinaldo's force, however, is faith
fully keeping its pledges to Admiral
Dewey and the Filipino policy. which
l am credibly informed, is favorably
received in Washington. being indie
pendence in all internal affairs, under
American protection until the country
is powerful enough, like Japan, to
shape its own destinies. The Flip
pinos are apprehensive lest German
intriguers may interfere with the con-
troll of the islands Should Capt. Gen
Augusti resist Admiral Dewey is gA-
pec.ed to bomb Manila within +.
week from now.
According TO adyices there was a
great feast at Cavite on June II, when
: declaration of independence was for
mally made by Aguinaldo. He had
invited the American officers TO be
present, but none accepted Aguinaldo

under American protection similar to
the t-itisn protectorates. The insur-

PLUGGING THE PLANO.
from the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

1t is familiar fact" said Mr. Gozzleby,
Nor it is fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time. All children like to make all
the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedpI is put
on l am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resounding of the notes fairly racks me.
"Of course, l can't be forever saying don't,
and it's ungracious to say it at all, suppose,
for why shouldn't the children have their
fun! And so / hit upon the desperate ex.
pedient of blocking the heavy pedal. / have
whitfield out nice little piece of soft white
pine into plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which it
works. SO that the pedal cannot be de.
pressed.
at has only been there two days now, but
it has been two days of blessed relief. It
can't last much longer, because the children
are liable to ask me any minute whats the
matter-I wonder they haven't asked me
long ago-and of course III have to tell 'em,
but am grateful for the rest have had and
the respite has given me strength the better
to withstand, for a time at least, the uproar
that will surely come when the children dis.
cover the plug."-N. Y. Sun.

state.

A few weeks ago new play was tried upon
a town near New York. The author was
man, but in some way he had learned good
deal about women's mental processes; and
when the leading lady proceeded to cut
Gordian knot by methods strictly feminine,
a girl in the audience beamed appreciatively.
"Oh, you willy creature she murmured,
addressing the absent dramatlst. Then she
turned impulsively tn a serious-looking wom-
an who sat beside her.
.'Now hoa. could he have known she would
do Just thats He certainly must have been
a woman in some far-off incarnation.
Her neighbor's seriousness became sever.
ity, and size frowned the frivolous young per.
son down.
''That is quite impossible" she said. with
impressive gravity. "Evidentiy you haven {
studied the subject. Woman is a progressed
state. A man may look forward to being
woman in future incarnation; but he be-
longs TO lower order and has never been
feminine in the past
Then she wondered why the girl found the
rest of the play so funny.-N. Y. Sun.

There was a look of great disappointment
on the face of the boy who was coming out

NO, they're not. I'll take your word for

added, reluctantly. But they're too little

MADRID. June :l.-Capt Gen. Au.
gusti telegraphs that he has gone into
the walled city, and that he will be
unable to communicate further with
the government All the papers say
the government is satisfied with the
prospect of Capt Gen. Augusti being
able to act in concert with the COM
manders of the European war vessels
for joint occupation of Manila. As
the city cannot hold out until the ar.
rival of the American troops, this
would forestall the entrance into the
town OF the Tagal rebels, which Spain
supposes the European powers would
