Philippines find that it is impossible to
regard their "durance vile" on the is
lands as anything more than a tempo
rary exile.
The heat and the present unhealthful
condition of the islands. of course, have
n great deal to do toward making social
life in the Philippines a dull one. After
few weeks sojourn in that enervat-
ing oriental climate even the restless
American and tho energetic English
man lose their old stock of activity and
find themselves more and more resem-

guild Spaniard. at whose sluggishness
they were SO ready to poke gentle fun

on the islands.

mate Is found to be most trying on the

made IN the reign of Henry VII and
appeared in the edition of "AIonasticon

It VIII be at once noticed that these

dicstes that instead OF the prisoner having
been lynched by a mob OF hfty men, as at
FIRST reported, he was deliberately assas-
sinatod by one OF the Two men who had
been placed ON duty at the Jail to guard
and protect the prisoner.
Sherih Maddox In his letter TO The gov

OF w. H. Harden by mob OF fifly men,

The sherifi then relates the Investigation
which he has made and concludes: From
facts and circumstances gathered by me
since the killing, l am OF the opinion that
the guard and taller are responsible for
the crime, either directly or indirectly"
