Uses a remarkable development of wealth.
The disturbance of ordinary conditions
produced by the war seems to be only
transitory. Already some of the capital
taken away during the years of war has
returned, and new capital is being at
tracted by the chances of profit. The
business of the custom houses has in
creased since American rule was substi-
tuted for that Of Spain, and this circum-
stance is regarded as demonstrating
better than anything else a revival of
enterprise among businessmen. Tobacco,
which is, of course, one of the most
important crops of the island, will lose
nothing of its consequence in the future.
1t is 10Y being cultivated in sections of
the country where it has never been
grown heretofore. The sugar crop, it is
estimated, will reach about 100000 tons,
which is considerably in excess of the
estimates made at the beginning of the
year.

which is practically useless for agricul-
tural purposes. Secretary Wilson and
other government officials are devoting
considerable time and attention to the
question Of retaining much of this
land. 1t is said that the annual rainfall
is sufficient to insure a good crop of ag-
%ricultural products if it were properly
distributed, and it is this problem that
the department of agriculture proposes
to solve if it can be doHk at reasonable
expense. Engineers say that it can be
done bya system of reservoirs, which
would answer the double purpose of col
lecting the flood waters in the spring
and thus prevent overflows and of stor-
ing up the supply to feed the irrigation
bitches in the dry season. The govern
ment intends to gather much data bear

The supreme court, in declaring that
the Realty and Guaranty company that
has been doing a so-called guaranty
business in the state, must comply with
the insurance laws of the state, hold, in
effect, that companies which aim to
guarantee the farmers crop at a certain
value per acre, are insurance companies,
and must comply with the insurance
laws. The Importance of this decision
is great, as werAit possible for one COM
pany to evade the requirements of the
law by such methods and contracts as
this company has adopted, there would
be no protection in the law for farmers
against all classes of unsafe companies.
The activity of Commissioner Harrison
in this case, and the good work of Attor-
ney General Cowan in prosecuting the
case, should not pass unnoticed.

He Defined the Word.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, referring to a discussion on the
merits or demerits of the word 'strans-
mogrifed," says a characteristic anecdote
concerning tho late Rev. DR.. Coke, father
of the late Bishop Coke of western New
York. may be of interest. The writer's
good friend, the late Rev. DR.. John Ire
lana Fucker Of Troy, an old Brooklyn
man, told him that he was once present
at a funeral in Brooklyn where DR.. Coke,
although a Presbyterian, used the Episco-
pal burial service. After reading the
words 1--WE shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed" the doctor looked up in
evident doubt as to whether his hearers
understood the'sense of that great phrase.
After q pause he said, Transformed, my
Brethren" and then, still evidently in
doubt, he added, with great solemnity,

OF the country, the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says:
\. striking illustration Of the general
rcsOurcefulness, courage and adapta-
bility of western men is found i'll the
record of the past three months Of war
fare in the Philippines. Practically

from the sunset side Of the .Alleghan-
les except a regiment from Pennsyl-
vania. All the rest are from the sun

regiment from Tennessee.
In no other of the cOuntry'S wars
was an army so exclusively composed
of western men as in this instance.
Eastern men and western men We're
mixed up in all the armies of the
union during the war of secession.
OF course in the Mexican war the west
was so far below the east in population
that it could not form any exclusive
force of fighters in that conflict. al
though it contributed more men than
the east in proportion to inhabitants.

with Mexico and in the civil struggle,
the west did great work, but in the
case of the war in the Philippines it
has practically done all of the work
which has been done by the volun-
teers, and the volunteers comprise
~three-fourths of the force in the
islands.
There is a fine tribute here to the
western states rs nurseries of men.
Practically all of the men from the
west who have been fighting Aguin-
aldo have been taken from civil life.
None of the officers of the volunteers,
except a comparatively few, are pro-
fessional soldiers. Most Of the volun-
teer officers and all the privates have
been drawn from farms, factories or
professional life. All of them, regu-
lar soldiers as well as the others, have
been fighting under conditions which
We're entirely new. They have been
living in an allen climate, have been
confronted with physical circum-
stances which are strange, and have
had an entire environment which has
been %unfriendly. Yet they have tri-
umphed eel all these hostile condi-
tons. The record which the soldiers
of Macarthur, Wheaton and Lawton
have made is a triumph for American
manhood. 1t is q revelation and an
illustration Of the operation of the So
cial forces which have made western
men invincible in peace as we'll as in

If there is any time when the Siamese
may be said to hold sports it is at a nota-

Siam are buried at q CHAT, common to all
who cannot afford the considerable ex-

honor paid their dead. The bodies Of those
intended for private cremation are en-.
balmed and usually kept for some time
often many months.
Ono Siamese gentleman, when inviting
me to the proposed cremation of his broth
or, informed me that the distinguished
deceased had been awaiting combustion
for a year. The extent and character Of
the festivities OF such an occasion depend
entirely on the length of purse of the de:

On the afternoon or evening Of the an.

the nearest male relative fires the pyre,
and then, while the flames orackle and the

pippin on a spit, his grieving family and
friends grow merry over the cakes and
sweetmeats and wines, while men hired
for the occasion perform at several games,
and even on rare occasions do some little
running and jumping. The game nearest
approaching one of skill is a sort of fence
play with short sticks fastened to both

Hell of War and Its Penalties" and
mailing them to the Philippines for

to have gotten both feet in it. The
circulars have been seized by the post

cite sedition and mutiny-their tenor
being opposed to the policy Of the gov

makes the circulation of such treason

To try to keep EN- any more.
For ever since the boys been gone
We've pounded Russ and Mcikcljohn
And Corbin and his ilunkics. too,
And now, Mac, its all up to you.
I 'mcmbcr when the boys marched ont.
Lord! how the mob did howl and shout.
The colonel carried three big trunks
With fifteen thousand cold hard plunks.
Itcll you, Mac, the boys lived high
On apple sass and pumpkin pie.
At Frisco they jest fell in line.
And waded through the foamin' brine,
Stepped out upon the Philippines.
WrunS ont the water from their jeans,
Jcs' waited on the bank to dry,
The colonel gave the battle cry,
The Spaniards gave up in a breath,
For most of 'cm "a scared to death,
And Dewey wcpt and said: ~ see
There is no further use for me.
Old Uncle Sam has naught to fear,
The Thirteenth Minncsota's here"
Now, Mac, l low the 18th MINI
Has lone its share. 1t is too thin
To try to keep EN- longer there.
They saved the country fair and square.
But now they're short of shirts and socks,
Them fifteen thousand cold hard rocks
Is mostly spent for cablcgrams,
They've cat up all their picnic hams,
Their stock of beef teas runnin' low,
Their currant joll has moulded so
It's hardly fit to eat. l yum
They're nigh run out of chewin' gum.
So Mac, it aint no time to chin
You must send home tho 18th MINI.
