WHITE BACK FROM MANILA

FILIPINOS.
viii Return Soon to the Philippines
to Invest Capital

James White. who left here a short
time ago with Mr.. Elliott to engage i'm
business in Manila, returned by the
China this morning. He came up on
certain business matters and will re-
turn at once to the Philippines.
White and Elliot reached Manila the
day fighting with the rebels began. 1t
was that night that the attack was
made. White asked to go to the front
and was permitted to do so. He did a
good deal of hard field work and saw a
great deal.
Arriving there at such time, of
course no business was attempted.
However, prospects are the very best,
and the Hawaiian investors feel very
much encouraged. They will make a
big drive as soon as things settle a
bit.
White was in Manila only few days
and on account of the fighting all
around saw nothing of the adjacent
country. He hopes that by the time
he arrives there again everything will
be peaceable and he may have a look

OLD CUSTOMS.
Things Done Once Continue to be Done
over and over Again.

In the. biography of Prince Bismarck
it is said that when he was minister at
st. Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and he
met the car, who invited him to join
him.
Presently Bismarck noticed a sentry
stationed in the middle of a grass plot
and asked what he was doing there.
The czar did not know, and asked the
aide de camp, who in turn, inquired of
the sentry.
1T is ordered" was the reply.
Every official gave the same answer,
1T is ordered" but nobody knew by
whom. a sentry had always stood
guard in the middle of that innocent
grass plot The archives were search
ed, but in vain. At last an aged Off
cial was found who had been told by
his father that the Empress Catherine
had once seen a snowdrop ready to
bloom in that spot, and had ordered a
sentry to stand guard and allow no one
to pick it. For more than a century the
watch had been maintained because
1t was ordered" and no one had ever
thought of disobeying or of question
ing the reason of the order.
Americans who visit the Latin ma
tons are prepleXed and sometimes
amused at the persistency with which
old customs are maintained, some of
which may have descended from pagan
times. They laugh when the Romans
keep up the saturnalia of their ancient
heather ancestors in a harmless way,
or the Florentines go on one morning
in the year to catch crickets in the
grass because the Etruscans did it two
thousand years ago.
But on the other hand, are we Anne
ricans any wiser when we ruthlessly
put aside beautiful and significant
forms and customs simply because
they are old?
A child may object TO wear the
clothes of its ancestors because they
do not fit him nor serve his purpose.
But if among them there is a mantle
of Elijah or jewel of value, he is not
only inconsiderate but criminal to cast
them disdainfully aside.-The Youths
Companion.

How Her Authority is Obeyed al

The family authority of Queen Vic-

Princess Louise and the late Duke OF
Albany, both of them grown up and
married, formed part of an exceeding
ly merry house party at Sandringham.
They were enjoying themselves to
their hearts content, and some of
their particular friends had been in

Wales to meet them. Suddenly a brief
and somewhat peremptory summons
to Osborne arrived by wire from the
Queen. They We're both as sincerely
sorry to leave as the Prince and Prin-
