In preparing the souvenir designed to recount and
to illustrate the deeds of our heroes in the Philip

each case good picture and true likeness is given
The literary features of the number not inferior

Shall We Keep the Philippinesp

The San Francisco Call is interviewing
the soldiers who are now arriving from
the Philippines and their testimony will
be hard to overcome by the imperialists
who are holding up the vast profits to
be made by the alleged trade we are to
have with that country when we whip the
insurgents into proper regard for our
particular brand of foreign lberty.
It is asserted that white men cannot
work is nearly all done by Chinese coolies
The land is owned by the church and
there is no opportunity to get hold of it
at a price that will make it an object TO
American investors. The Idea OF this
country making money trading with
people who are able to earn only about
i5 cents day is absurd and something
else will have to be found to make the
people here contented to pay the enor-
nous war taxes.

Wit but Not Tact.

story comes from Oklahoma which
shows that a clergyman may have a
pretty wit and yet be a little lacking in
tact. In the course of his sermon the
Rev. Mr.. Newby, new pastor of the
Christian church at Guthrie, interjected
the question, How many of you have
read the Bible?" Fifty hands went up.
"Goodw said the preacher. Now, how
many of you have read the second chap

One of the bravest, as well as one of the
wittiest things that has been done lately,
was the reply of the Rev. DIR. Newman
Smyth of New Haven, when the represen-
tative of one of the worst of modern
newspapers asked him for "a bright, terse
interview about hell for it's Sunday edi-

with the request; his article was as fol-
lows: Hell in my opinion, is the place

THE CRISIS IN SAMSAH BASIN.

IRON all parts OF the Orient come reports OF
strife and strikes and disturbances because the
ancient and orderly ways OF the people are being
disturbed by the introduction OF the machinery OF
Western civilization The jinrikisha men in re-
volt in Japan against electric cars the punkah workers
in India are bewaing the introduction OF the electric
fam and in China the coolies are protesting against
the opening OF port in Samsah basin, north OF
Foochow, because it will enable ships to receive
that port large quantity Of freight carried over
land.
According to the Hongkong Press the coolies
ployed in carrying the products OF the Samsah dis
trict to Foochow number many thousands, and when
the port was virtually opened by the arrival OF the
first steamer they feared their occupation would be
gone and in the old approved way went in for more
or less violent obstruction. On her first trip the
steamer came back empty and reported that coolies
could not be obtained to put the tea on board Later
on Mr. Commissioner Tanner visited the port and
on her next trip the brought back cargo, and
everything appeared to be going all right Yester
day an express" was sent out which stated

SO for the time being the port of Santu, in the

cooe for time holds his own much to the regret
not only of the European business of that sec
ton, but of the pleasure-lovers for the Hongkong
Press says sadly: Thc Samsah basin i. described
being miniature inland Sea of Japan, and residents
here were looking forward to nice little steamer

PATENT LEATHER-Subscrib City.
There is nothing that will prevent patent
leather shoes from cracking, but by care
exercised with the shoes the cracking may
be reduced to minimum. That is when
the shoes are removed a. night they are
warm and the leather is soft. During the
night the warmth is dispelled and the
leather becomes sitter than il was the
night before II the wearer will place the
shoes where they can become warmed
before putting them on the chances of
cracking will not be so great. The follow
ing is given as polish for patent leather:
Take one-quarter of a pound OF molasses
or sugar, half an ounce of gum arabic
and one pound of ivory black, which boil
we'll together. Then let the vessel stand
until the contents are cooled and settled,
after which bottle off. This is an excel
lent reviver and may be used as a black
ing in the ordinary way, no brushes for
polishing being required.

WHY NOT A LEAP YEAR-E. W. g.,
City. The following explains why the
year 1900 will not be a leap year: If
year were exactly 36514 days long there
would be a leap year every four years,
but as there is an excess of Il minutes
1913 seconds each year this excess is com
nensated for by dropping the leap year at
the beginning of three out of four centu--
ries, thus equalizing the time gained
through the century. The length OF time
thus established makes an error OF only
one day in 1925 years. OF the years con-
Guiding the centuries, and known as the
hundredth year, such as 1900, 1900, only
