THE ILLUsIoN.-"What beautiful
peaches !" said an old lady as she stop
ped at stall in the market and ad'
mired a basket of the choice fruit.
They were covered with pink gauze
and looked very tempting indeed.
The old lady bought the peaches
and took them home. The next day
she appeared again at the stall and
showed the stall keeper small piece
of pink yelling.
"Do you keep that kind Of yelling
for sale ?" she asked.
The stall keeper told her that he
did not.
"Well," she sold, "when I took
those peaches home they were small
and sour and green, and I thought if /
could get some of that yelling that
made them look so pretty and plump
in the basket I'd wear it myself. If it
would improve me as much as it did
the peaches, people would think I'd
found the elixir of youth. h."-London

of the rebel leader that he was prom
ised independence by any officer of the
United States in return for his assfs'
tance has no foundation in fact and is
categorically denied by the very wit
nesses who were called to prove it,
The most the insurgent leaders hoped
for when he came to Manila was the
liberation of the islands from the Span
ish control, which they had been Ia
boring for years without success to
throw of.
"The prompt accomplishment of this
work by the American army and navy
gave him other ideas and ambitions,
and insidious suggestions from various
quarters perverted the purpose and
intentions with which he had taken up
arms.
"The future government OF the
Philippines rests with the congress OF
the United States. If we accept them
in spirit worthy of our race and our
traditions, a great opportunity comes
with them. The islands lie under
the shelter of our flag. They are
ours by every title Of law and equity.
They cannot be abandoned. IF we de-
sert them, we leave them at once to
anarchy and finally to barbarism. We
fling them, golden apple of discord,
among the rival powers, no one OF
which could permit another to seize
them unquestioned. -.
"Their rich plains and valleys would
he the scene of endless strife and
bloodshed. The advent of Dewey's
fleet in Manila bay, instead of being,
as we hope, the dawn of new day OF
freedom and progress, will have been
the beginning of an era of misery and
violence worse than any which has
darkened their unhappy past. The
suggestion has been made that we
could renounce our authority over the
islands, and giving them independence,
could retain protectorate over them.
This proposition will not be found, l
am sure, worthy of your serious atten-
tention. Such an arrangement would
involve at the outset cruel breach of
faith. 1t would place the peaceful and
loyal majority, who ask for nothing
better than to accept our authority, at
the mercy of the minority armed
insurgents. 1t would make US respon-
sible for the acts of the insurgent lead
ers and give US no power to control
them. 1t would charge US with the
task of protecting them against each
other and defending them against any
foreign power with which they chose
to quarrel. In short, it would take
from the congress of the United States
the power of declaring war and vest
that tremendous prerogative in the
Tagalo leader of the hour.

HIS DREAM.-Papa (at the break

you looking so thoughtful? Are you
not we'll?
Willie (very seriously)-Yes, papa
but had a strange dream this morn
ing.
Papa-Indeed What was it?
Willie-I dreamed, papa, that l died
and went to heaven; and when St,
Peter met me at the gate, instead Of
showing me the way to the golden
gate, as expected, he took me out
into large field, and in the middle OF
the field there was ladder reaching
away up into the sky and out of sight
Then St. Peter told me that heaven
was at the top, and that in order to
get there must take the big piece OF
chalk he gave me and slowly climb
the ladder, writing on each rung some
sin I had committed.
Papa-Qaying. down his newspa-
per.)-And did you finally reach heav-
en-, my son?
Willie-No papa, for just as ! was
trying to think of somethink to write
on the second rung, I looked up into

Papa-And what was coming down
for, pray?
Willie-That's just what I asked
you, papa, and you told me you were
going for more chalk.-Life.

Humorous 1epartment.

A MYSTERIOUS PAsswoRD.-The
Baroness Burdett. Coults was once
shopping in Paris and was passed from
one department to another by the
shopmen, always with the remark,
"Two ten." She was escorted from
counter to counter, and everywhere
the cabalistic words "two ten" were
repeated.
Struck by the popularity of this re-
frain, the baroness asked the proprle-
tor as she left the establishment "Pray
what does two ten mean? l noticed
each assistant said it to the other
wherever went in your shop"
"Oh, it is nothing" he replied,
"merely a password that they are in
the habit of exchanging"
But the baroness was not satisfied
with this explanation. So in the even
ing, when the porter, a young boy,
brought home her purchases, she said ::
"My boy, would you like to earn 3
francs2"
OF course he had no objection.
"Tell me-" said the lady, "what
does two ten mean, and l will give
you francs" -,
"Why, don't you know, ma'am p
said he, evidently astounded at her
ignorance. "It means, Keep your

The Late Captain Kings Birthplace.
Certain inquiries having been
made concerning the family history
OF the late Captain James A. King,
an intimate friend OF the family
hands in the following hitherto I'M
published account:
The late Captain Kings birthplace
was in Sunny Law, Scotland. On
the "a OF March, 1877, he was mar
ried to Miss Charlotte Davis, a
daughter OF the late Hon. Robt. q.
Davis, Justice of the Supreme Court
OF the Hawaiian Islands. They were
united in marriage by the late Her
mann Kockeman, Bishop of Olba OF
the Roman Catholic Cathedral in
Honolulu. Nine children were born
of this union, of whom six are now
living, four with the mother and two
are absent abroad. 1t is supposed
by those who profess to know that
the late Captain King had left nc
will, az during his lifetime he ex'
pressed a desire to die intestate
meaning thereby that what little
property there was in his name
should go the natural way

be far from pleasant. We believe in
