For literary girl Miss Plum seems
very popular"
Yes. It's her method. She invites
young man to the house to read over
her latest sonnet. When she comes to
a word like miss for instance, she
asks him if he can improve the rhyme.
II he has any brightness at all he will
suggest kiss and at the same time
illustrate it. If the word is tease he
will suggest squeeze and illustrate
that. oh. it's no wonder she's q pop

Before brief summary OF the ca

given out Ly prominent officer, in
which it was stated that Dewey cut
the cable himself, but was unable to
take possession IF the town of Manila
for lack of men: also. that lie lad the

1t was noted that the cablegram

tirely agree with this brief summary.
aud the presumption was that in the
SHORT time accorded for consideration
the officials had concluded that it
was public policy to expurgate the
dispatch.

DnWEY'S WONDERFUL EX-
A close study of Admiral Dewey's
two cablegrams during the day only
increased the wonder felt early in
the day by the naval experts at the
extraordinary results achieved by
the admiral without injury The re
ports that came before the cutting of
the cables were of characted to
indicate thet Dewey was going to
make quick and thorough work of
the seizure of Manila, but it was
feaaed that in so fierce an engage
ment against Spanish fleet com
bined with the shore defense, the
-yerican fleet must surely have sns.

the destruction of the entire Spanish
fleet AMI the silencing of their forts,

among he officials to account for
this, bu in the absence of facts it is
bard to form a reasonable hypothe
sis.

in taxes, so that if collections fall short
he must make them up from his own

forty to sixty tax payers. and is per-

up he distrains they property and sells

several thousand more men, and 600 of
their leaders were beheaded and shot
to death in squads at the garrisons at
Cavite as a warning to other sympa-
thizing rebels. The present rebellion
broke out last June and was quelled for
a time by Spanish troops. Last jan
