With the usual curiosity of scribe
and a desire to enjoy all the bright and
beautiful things around, one of the
first pleasures sought after securing
an extended range of liberty, was Wis
it to Sinbad's flowers up in the green
house. During my visit Sinbad was
very busy, therefore his partner, officer,
Becklund, entertained me by showing
one of the neatest and healthiest little
greenhouses that it has ever been my
pleasure to visit. The plants and flow
ers looked so fresh and cheerful and the
air was so laden with their fragrance
that forgot for the time being that l
was any where near a prison. 1 sug-
gested to Sinbad that our editorial
sanctum would look much brighter if
it contained few stands; and [ am in
clined to believe that he thought so
too. Let them come Sinbad, you have
more than your share.

Was. however, we'll dressed, we'll
groomed, and had a good trunk. l
sent my trunk to the West Hotel, where
l soon followed it. Registered with a
flourish and bought a couple Of 10 cent
cigars. Il never smoke.) Asked to be
shown to my room and ordered my
trunk sent up. After breakfast on
looking over the morning papers | saw
the follow ing: "Wanted-A first class
butter maker. Enquire at once at 9l3,
Western ave Cook Fletcher and Co."
| was soon there. Their butter maker
and general manager had broken his
arm. Twenty minutes after entering
the office 1 was employed at S24
per week. Told them to start the
churns to whirl-ing in hree-quart-
ers of an hour andswould be
there to take care of them. Re-
turning to the West, ! enquired if
there was any answer to my telegram.
BY the way, l hadn't sent any. Couldn't
wait for it so borrowed ten dollers
from the clerk and went to the Good
year Rubber Co.'s store on Bridge
Square and got pair of rubber boots,
an oilcloth apron and some other arti-
cles needed in my work. This was on
Wednesday. Saturday night 1 was
paid SIG; settled my account at the
hotel and got my trunk. The former
butter maker did not return, and was
engaged permanently at $28 per week
and per cent of all profits. remained
with them seven months and laid up
from my salary $1,000. But the cream
cry company failed and again l was
out of employment.
In '97 was in Duluth without any
money, and had been for several days
without much to eat: though l had
managed to get considerable of "The
White Mans Burden" Happening
down on the docks, saw contract or

one that looked to me to be as we'll
made as any the others had. They got
theirs cashed at confectionery store,
kept by Jew. Mine called for $14.95
and realized $3.50 net profit on it.
Being elated with my success, l re-
solved to keep to that line of business
for awhile T manufactured several
more very tasty little checks for which
1 found very ready sale. Judge
Moore hearing of my great skill, sent
for me and offered me position at
Saltwater for ten years. At first was
loath to accept, but was finally per-
suaded to do so. That was two years
ago and I still retain my position, and
havn't lost day.

London, April 24.-Mr John Barrett

abandoned and the islands VIII secure
complete independence. Mr.. Barrett
ascertained In Hong Kong n month
ago that the insurgeDt Junta there
had the most complete information
from day to day of the drift OF Ameri.

ance as long as possible. If this sup
port is withdrawn no attempt will be
made to resume hOstilities after the
rainy season, nor would there have
been any resistance if the Spaniards
and others hadn't created the belief
among the natives that the Americans
were the worst Oppressors in the uni
verse.
Mr.. Barrett had rather good opin-
ion of Aguinaldo He said he opposed
resistance until compelled to act by
the young Filipinos who are officers Of
the army. All the older leaders like
