Did the Spaniard ever attract you? To
me he always seemed like colored icing

Tenderness in a Spaniard is an un-
known quantity. At ordinary times he
is rated as beast, in war he is a
coward. and when you think how he
treats women and children what name
is bad enough for him? The war today
brings back TO me all the stories that

laugh and said: why. captain, that Is
not a black flag! That is only my

What especially attracts the atten-

lands is the intelligence and superior
refinement of the native women. These
include those of the old Indian race that

failing fund OF good humor, IL is not
much wonder that Europeans who have
lived in the Philippines say that the
Malayan women make the best of house

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The air has been heavily loaded for
some time with suggestions as to I'M.
provements to the fire department. and
in discussing these suggestions the fire
committee whIled away over an hour
last night. Chairman Mcclure men
toned the recommendation OF the local
board OF fire underwriters for the city to
purchase an engine for the business
district, and other suggestions along
this line, which have been previously
mentioned In the Intelligencer.
Another chemical for the Island. one
for around the hill Oh McColloch street,
an aerial truck, shut-off noZzles and
other improvements came in for con-
slderation In the interesting informal
discussion. Very favorably received
was the proposition to introduce four
additional chemicals on 4 combination
plan. II was proposed to put n light
and Eighth ward reels, and the Atlantic
and Niagara wagons. The firm pro-
posing to 80 fit the department made n
reasonable offer. which will be further
considered after the committee makes
Its tour OF inspection this month before
making the annual appropriation.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that the need of an additional chemical
for the Island Is very apparent. as
nlne-tenths Of the houses on the Garden
Spot are frame structures. Some plan OF
dispensing with cllls for the Island
chemical TO the city-side mag be made,
II possible. Until the amount of ap-
preparation Is ascertained. however. the
committee will be shy Of any recon-
mendatIons, though the combination
chemical trucks seem likely to be pur-
chased. In addition TO discussing I'M
provements. tho committee audited a
number OF bills.

A good many queer letters are received at
the pension Office, nearly all Of which are
tucked away in the files which contain papers
relating to a million cases, says the WASH
ington Star.
Some time ago widow who had worked
hard to get pension became possessed Of
the idea that the postmistress Of her town
was her enemy. lIele is the letter she wrote
the commissioner OF pensions:
