Halstead spent the morning Dur
puseIy in giving Diaz orders about
breaking out the zap cargo, going
over the bills of lading with him as if
he confidently expected to reach To1nil
bay on Friday. AS for myself, l fol-
lowed his suggestions to the extent of
winning over 40 of Don Silvestre's dol
lars at Sancho Pedro. in the smoking.
room, and then losing nearly all back
to him. This put the old gentleman
in high good humor. We were getting
quite chummy, when the senorita came
along forward and asked me to tell
her how observations were taken; she
had noticed Moreno on the bridge
with his sextant, and made that an ex-
cuse to get me out for chat.
1t still lacked ten minutes of noon,
SO l fetched a spare instrument from
Halstead's locker and held it so that
she could see the sun, like red ball,

a0w THE cow WAS DIVIDED
1t Took q Wise Judge to DEFINE the
Partnership Lines In the
Animal.

Il had a peculiar case before me once
Ehen was on the bench" said the Judge
during lunch hour. 81 had become ac-
quainted with a certain man who had
gone into partnership with another man
in the ownership of Jersey cow, my
friend paying SIS and his partner $50.
They lived next to each other, but when
the COW came the man that paid $50
began all at once to show what kind of
q man he was. The cow was kept in
my friends barn, and the first night
a stranger walked in and MIXED her
pretty nearly dry and started off. Hold
on said my friend, where are you go
ing with that milk?' Home said the
mixer. We'll, that milk belongs to
me-. 4 reckon not said the man, put
ting down the pail. I've rented half the
cow
'Sure enough" continued the fisher
man, ''he had a lease on the milk end
of the COW. My friend went over to
see about it, and his partner said that
it was all right, that he had paid the
most, and naturally had the choice of
halves, and he had selected the after
half on an imaginary line running mid
way between the fore and hind legs,
and sublet his end to the man. My
friend was a supplemented chap, and
SO he went home to think it over. At
the end of the week he sent over for
some hay for the COW. The other part
ner sent back that he had nothing to
do with that end of the animal, and that
the man who owned the eating end
did the feeding. My friend began to
suspect that he was being worked, so
the case came before me, and don't be-
lieve that Solomon, in all his glory,
ever had a case with so many technicali-
ties. All the lawyers in the county
were either in the case or were hanging
over the bar. I had the cow brought
into court on a writ of habeas corpus.
Well, you remember the old phrase:
'Aristides jusuts fuit?' Well, so was L.
l decided that it was case of erroneous
jurisdiction, and changed the owner
ship from horizantal to longitudinal.
In other words, / divided the cow length
wise, so that each had half the mouth
and half the udders; and, if do say it,
the justice of that decision made me
famous, and my friend thinks that I
am second Daniel Webster."-Chicago

This was facer for me. The pen

nbsurdity of the propositions but
while l was puzzling over it the cap
tain drew another line which gave the
problem a more favorable aspect.

Pile of Money.

One of Chfcago's globe trotters spent
the most of last winter in Melbourne,
whittier he has lately returned. He is
naturally full of his travels and when
asked by friend to describe Melbourne
he said that the two features of the
place he best remembered are Coles
Book arcade and Hosie's Scotch pie
shop, which are almost next-door
neighbors in Bourke street. He de-
clared that to have been in Australia
and to not be able to talk about them
is to exhibit woeful deficiency in the
art of conversation. AS if to prove that
he is not thus deficient, he proceeded
to give somewhat particular account.
of the two men, Cole and Hosie, and
their enterprises respectively.
"Cole is alive and WELL" he said. "but
Hosie has just died at the age of 6S.
An energetic young Scotchman with
only few dollars in the way of capital,
he landed in Melbourne in the early
SOS and started little Scotch pie shop
at the end of Bourke street-what time
two other young men named Spiers and
Pond were beginning in little res
taurant at the other end of the same
street. In 1861 Spiers and Pond risked
all their available capital in bringing
out the first English cricketing team to
Australia. The speculation proved a
great success and on the profits Spiers
and Pond were enabled to transfer
themselves to London and 10 revolu-
tionize the lunch business in England.
But their pie shop in Melbourne is still
doing business at the old stand.
unlike Spiers and Pond, Hosie re-
manned in Melbourne, made a fortune
out of his three-penny Scotch pies, built
a pretty bijou theater, provided Mel
bourne with luxurious Turkish bath
ing establishment, erected a couple of
gigantic hotels and attained the dig
nifty of mayor. He was liberal donor

secret. Now that he is dead and" said

The more 1 thought over what she

oleaginous clerical friend was likely
to make trouble for US sooner or later;
and when we were alone I repeated
the conversation for Halstead's ben
gift. He and Mcpherson, counting
upon the PADRES good Offices, had been
inclined to doubt his misunderstanding
ability, though their experience in the
east had taught them better; but after

DAWES on AANExATIoN,

Ex-senator Dawes writes a. two-co1-
umn article for the Congregationalist,
to prove that there is no other rational.
feasible or honorable way of disposine
OF the Philippine problem, but by rat
Tying the treaty of peace, accepting
the burden of sovereignty thrown upon
us by the war, and doing our utmost to
build UP a stable and efficient govern
ment in the archipelago 1.-THE fear
for our own safety" he says. that
would turn these islands back to the
unspeakable barbarism of Spanish rule,
would surely win for us the verdict
of the civilized world that we were pre-
tenders and hypocrits when we began
this war, and towards when we ended
it,"
Mr. Dawes discusses the various plans
for joint control, for protectorate and
for native sovereignty and discards
them all as methods which would eth
er complicate our difficulties or mini
mize our authority, without relieving
ue from responsibility, moral or actual.
We cannot treat the Philippines as we
treat Cuba for in the first place, Spain
would not give UP her sovereignty in
the same way and without compensa-
ton. There must be transfer of own
ership and sovereignty to some respon-
sible and tangible authority.
In the opinion of the former senator,
there is no constitutional obstacle to
acquiring sovereignty over the Philip
pines or to governing them as congress
may think fit. Precedent and that
clause of the constitution giving con-
gress power over "Jhe territory and 9TH
er property belonging to the United
States he thinks, cover every pos
sible emergency that may arise in~the
Philippines, or anywhere else on the
face of the earth.
Whether the new possessions are to
be converted into colonies, territories
ar what not, Mr.. Dawes does not say.
The main issue, however, seems to
Lave been practically settled The rat
iflca;ion of the treaty, according to
Judge Day, will virtually annex the
archipelago and we must take the con-
sequences, whether we like them or
not. One may be permitted to imagine
the sadness that will come upon Sena-
tor Hoar, however, when he reads his
former colleagues argument.
