PHILIPPINES PROBLEM.

The Saturday Review combats the as
sertion OF President Mckinley that the
Philippines belong to the United States
AS much as do Louisiana, Texas and
Alaska. The Review says:
'"This certainly sounds strange in the
mouth of politicians who are never tired
of uttering the gradiloquent sentiments
of the declaration Of independence. This
is an assertion of the right to purchase
contry from its former ruler against the
wish of the inhabitants. There Is not
an analogy with Alaska"
The Speaker takes an opposite view.
remarking: 1.-THE American troops in the
Philippines are manufactures Of civiliza
ton, pledged to restore order and main
tain the interests Of society in general
and the commerce Of the Islands. We do
not believe the American people will lose
the chance of effecting their mission Of
civilization, or leave their new posses
sions a derelict to be picked up and adj
ministered by the powers, who do not
even condescend to profess the smallest
respect for democratic IDEAS"

DANGERS FROM STRIKE.

Many claim that the shipping trade has
improved yet the workers pay has re-
manned stationary. The dangers from a
strike is two-fold. Fearing that 1t may
be unable to get crew for the steamer
IeEic on it's regular sailing day Mon
day. the White Star Steamship company
tried to- get the men to, sign on Wednes-
day last but the men refused in a body.
The owners of the Dominion line steamer
Canlbrian and the Cunard liner Cam
brian met with a similar refusal at Liv-
erpool
The Liverpool Merchants Service guild
has passed resolutions disapprovlng the
threatened strike, saying the demands of
the men are unreasonable and urging
the officers of the merchant service to
resist the mems efforts.
Unless the ship owners agree to nego-
tiate, likely the next week win see the
greatest blow dealt to shipping in many

here TO look" replied True. "And my
mother said / might stay all night with
my cousins over at Borrowsvllle. She
won't expect me home TIKI tomorrow,
and your folks will think you've stayed
with me. Anyway, they would never
think we were up in the church
steeple."
"But when she knows we're lost,
Rosy Movie will tell, II she hasn't al
ready" said Tenney.
"She won't. She's too much afraid Of
her father to tell that she gave us the
key" averrcd True.
"But he'll find out that the key is
gone, and then he'll suspect that we are
here" said Tenney who was deter
mined to look on the bright side.
"Next Sunday, maybe! We shall be
starved to death before then!" said
Rob, who was not proving himself as
brave as his desire for fighting had led
his comrades to suppose.
Somebody must have got wind Of
what we meant to do, or the tongue
wouldn't have been taken out of the
bell" said Tenney; "and no one could
be mean enough to keep us here for
long on the Fourth of july"
"Sandy Movie is mean enough for
anything" declared Rob; land perhaps
they have only taken the tongue out 10
repair it, or something of that kind"
Sandy McVie meanwhile arose at five
o'clock and took walk around the
church. There was no broken window.
$50 they gave it up, the young rascals,
and have probably gone over to Bor-
rowsville to do their celebrating" said
the sexton to himself, and felt disap-
pointment that he should be denied the
grim satisfaction of bringing the young
rascals to justice. "Well, Cherryfeld
will be the quieter for their being out
of it to-day" he added, to console him
self.
If not exactly out Of Cherryfield, they
were certainly too far above it to inter-
fere with its quiet. A faint echo of dis
tant Fourth of July noises came tanta-
lizingly to their ears nowand then. The
minutes dragged along heavily. They
had no means OF telling time, and an
hour seemed like day; but night final
ly came, the dimness deepened to utter
darkness, and, stretched upon the floor,
they all fell asleep. Being boys, they
! could sleep, although the floor was

But no sound followed. They looked
at each other in silent amazement and
tried it again. They could feel that the
bell swayed backward and forward;
but it did not ring, What could be the
reason?
Somebody must have muffled It'll" eX-
claimed Rob.
"Well go up and see what's the mat
ter, anyway" said True.
A long, long flight of steep and mar
row stairs led to the first landing in
the church steeple. Beyond that was
ladder leading to the bell loft. There
was trap door which they pushed
open, and all scrambled up to the loft.
"If here isn't a go! The tongue is
gone from the bell!" cried True. Nov
who do you suppose did that"
"Rosy must have told on us. 1 just
wish we hadn't given her all that can
dy," lamented Tenney.
The great bell hung there empty,
powerless to arouse any Fourth of July
enthusiasm, and looking as sad as if it
realized its dumbness.
81 should just like to catch the fellow
that did that" said Rob, fourishing his
fist at an imaginary foe, as he did so, UNI
fortunately striking the trap door with
his elbow, and causing it to fall with d
crash. 1t was somewhat dark in the
loft, now that the trap door was closed,
the only light coming from little
round window, like aporthole in YES
sci, far above their heads.
Lift up the door, Rob. We may as
well go down. Whoever took that
tongue out wouldn't leave it where we
could find it, you may be sure" said
True.
But when Rob tried to lift the door,
10 and behold! it stuck fast. The iron
ring which had once served as handle
was broken off, and there was no way
by which they could get sufficiently
firm hold to pull with any considerable
amount of strength. They tried to pry
it open with their knives, but only sue
ceeded in breaking them. And time
was wearing away, and the Borrows-
vile celebration must be getting to-
ward its liveliest.
Its of no use to holler. Nobody
could hear u.s." said Tenney, despair
ingly.
Its pretty place to spend the
Fourth in!" said Rob, with a eroan.
"How long do you suppose it will be be-
fore they miss us at home and come to
look for us?"
| why, they'd never think of coming

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

The product will be much better if
two or more cows are fresh every
month.
Do not allow the bull to run with the
herd in the pasture. Arrange yard or
pasture that can be made secure by a
heavy, high fence.
Fit the windows with wire netting,
and put screen doors on the inner
iambs, so that the outer doors may be
left open during the hot weather.
Arrange to have the different men,
bers of the herd freshen at different
times of the year, so that the milk sup
ply will be pretty even during thewhole
year.
Kind treatment and pleasant sur
roundings have great influence upon
the quantity and quality of the milk,
provided the feed is sufficient for the re-
quirements of the animal.
A reader asks how to remodel the I'D
der of COW that is badly misshapen.
1t is practically impossible without a
long and expensive operation that final
" might not prove successful.
Keep salt constantly in water-tight
box in the barnyard to insure the best
condition of the stock. Leave this box
out under the open sky and note the
pleasure with which the cattle drink up
the salty water ON rainy days.-Farm

SOME ROAD FIGURES.
Compiled by John NJ. stnhI, Editor
and Secretary OF the Farm
ers' National Congress.

John NJ. Stahl, editor Of the Farmers
Call and secretary of the Farmers Ma
tionl congress, has investigated the cost
of wagon transportation in the United
States, and the savings that would DO
effected by good roads. His inYestga-
tons were made in the fall Of 1891, and
were probably the first inquiries into
the subject ever conducted on large
scale. AS to the results of these inquir-
les Mr.. Stahl writes;
81 could find no previous effort that
gave me any real aid; there were guess
es in abundance, but only guesses. The
reports of the interstate commerce COM
mission and of the department of ag-
riculture furnished basis from which
could work, as well as the bulletins
then being issued by the census office,
covering the railroad, 'lake and river
transportation Of the United States,
and giving, in detail, the amount OK
freight of each class. From the variouA
statistics contained in these reports,
and estimates based thereon, ! was
forced to the conclusion that the annual
cost of wagon transportation OF the
country was $0O0,0O0,0O0, and that il
all the road improvements were made
that could be made proftably, the an
nual saving in wagon transportation
would be 00,000,000. These figures
were so large, so astounding, in facts
hpt haIJ tI,ay,, r,,, he uaTi-
flying them as best / could before 1
made them public Convinced thatthey
were substantially correct, used them
in an address at the meeting that or
gained the Illinois Highway Improve
ment association, March 30, 1892. That
address was published and widely cir
culated by the League of American
Wheelmen. used these figures in an
article in Current Topics for March,
1899, entitled, How to Save Five Hun
dred Millions a Year. The figures were
at once stoutly disputed, but they have
never been successfully assailed. They
have often been quoted in good roads
meetings and publications, and have
been frequently verified, notably by the
United States Office of road inquiry. I
made the same statements before the
Farmers National congress in the fall
of 1892, at Lincoln, Nebraska. At that
meeting the good roads resolution in
troduced by me was debated more than
all other resolutions put together, but
was finally adopted by a good majority.
This was the first time such resolutions
were adopted by such representative
agricultural body. The congress has
given its hearty support to the good
roads movement ever since, and is ia
vorably disposed - state aid-the only
way in which good roads can be equita-
bly, paid for"

hard and keen cravings reminded them
that they had gone breakfastless, dim
nerless and supperless.
When True awakened, little shaft
of sunlight shone through the small
window, away up in the dimness of the
steeple, 1t danced upon the cobwebs
that covered the dusty beams until they
looked as if made of gold thread. A
great, long-legged spider was dragging
a hapless fly into his web. The spiders
web had been partially torn away, and
the dust had been brushed from the
beams in the corner near it. There was
little scaffold in the corner covered
with shavings and chips, evidently left
there when the last repairing was done.
But somebody had been up in that cor
ner lately. How otherwise could the
dust have been brushed away and the
spiders web broken? True wondered
idly what anybody could have been
there for, and then a sudden thought
struck him that sent the blood rushing
to his head, and made him for a moment
feel faint and dizzy. In another mo-
ment he was climbing up those beams
nimbly as only a squirrel or boy could
climb. He put his hand under the heap
of shavings and chips, and it touched
something very hard and cold. He
dashed off the chips and shavings with
which it was covered, and disclosed
the bell tongue.
True wanted to shout for joy, but he
knew that he needed all his strength
just now, and restrained himself. He
could not have lifted the bell tongue,
even if he had not been obliged to cling
to beam with one hand, but he could
draw it along to the edge Of the scat
folding, and then with one mighty eff
fort, he pushed it off. 1t came to the
floor with a crash that seemed as if it
might arouse all Cherryfield, and GER
tainly did effectually arouse the two
sleeping boys, who sprang to their feet,
Rob with vague impression that it
was the report of cannon, and that his
time had now come to fight something.
1t was happy moment when they
realized that the bell tongue was found,
though Tenney did grumble that they
fought to have been smart enough to
find it yesterday" True thought that
if he hadn't been awake when that sun
beam struck the corner, they never
would have found it, for who would
have thought that anybody would car
ry it away up there to hide it?
1t was no small undertaking to re-
place the tongue in the bell, but, after
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1899-06-29

be no danger that he would go there
again and discover the absence OF the
key.
That afternoon Sandy Movie and his
son, stout lad of IS, paid a visit TO the
church. Archie, the son, came out,
looking very warm and tired.
Better have let them do IT, and then
make them smart for 1t, than to take
all that trouble he grumbled. "Or
Just give their fathers hint OF what
they nre up to-"
"Since they are so fond OF jokes, I'm
willing they should have n bit of one,
said the sexton, rubbing his hands
gleefully, "They'll catch it fast enough
for breaking the church window
Rosy Movie stole out Of the house
that night after dark and delivered the
church key into Trucs hands, receiv-
ing in return an amount Of candy and
torpedoes that had cost large share
of the boys Fourth Of July savings
But they were all satisfied that II was
money well spent, for they had learned
from sad experience that the results
of breaking windows were never anus
ing.
1t was about half-past four o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth when the
three boys unlocked the church door
1t was very quiet for Fourth of July
morning. Now and then came the
banging of a gun, the feeble popping
Of firecrackers and torpedoes, and the
dismal shrek of fish horn; but there
were very few people astir'
"This stupid old town will get wax
ing up in a minute now. And people
ought to thank us, It's n burning
shame to have it so still. You may be
sure they're making things lively over
at Brownsville by this time
Brownsville was town on the other
side of the river, where the boys meant
to assist in the celebration after they
had walked up Cherryfield.
"They won't thank us, you know
said Tenney Cole. Boys never are ap'
preciated."
81 don't expect it will be just eX.
actly thanks that we shall get" said
True, drily, as he turned the key in the
lock behind them, anybody that's
afraid had better back out now"
Nobody backed out. Six hands seized
the bell rope. There was "a long pull
a strong pull and pull all together"

InLenendence Day.

Fling out the flag, the starry flag,
The banner of the free!
The symbol of the land we love,
The land of liberty!
Our fathers with their willing blood
Baptized that banner gay,
So let it stream, its stars agleam,
On Independence day!
From brave New England's rugged shore
Washed by Atlantic's waves,
To western lands whose pebbly strands
The fair Pacific laves-
From Minnesota's swamps and swales
To southern hummocks gay,
Fling out afar the stripes and stars
On Independence day!
Fling out the flag, the dear old flag,
The flag our grandslres won!
The emblem of the land we love,
The land of Washington!
The blood Of heroes thrills our hearts
And bids us haste away,
To consecrate with fitting state
Our Independence day!

WIDE TIRES BEST.
They Possess Many Advantages
Which should Make Their In
PRODUCTION Popular.

A few years ago a number of peo-
pie in this district, says Canadian
writer in the Advocate, got their old
narrow-tired wagons cut down and
three-inch tires put on, making very
nice farm wagon, but now there is get
ting to be a lot Of 2H-inch tires, and
these make a track that the three-inch
tire just wedges into and in the spring
and fall when the roads are freezing
and thawing it makes the three-inch
wagons go very badly. l wish you
would point out the selflshness of get
ting the 21s-inch tires. l believe it is
to a great extent nothing but selfish
ness and blind Indifference and in some
cases mulsh ignorance, have proven
by my own experience, conclusively to
my own satisfaction, that three-inch
tire runs easier than two-inch on our
roads most of the time and very much
better on the farm. We drew some
stone to town last summer in June.
My man who did the teaming was in
favor of the narrow two-inch tire
wagon, but we used the three-inch for
u week, and then he took load on the
two-inch wagon. We loaded about
1000 to 5000 pounds, and he said he
could draw 5000 pounds on the three
inch tires as easily as 1000 pounds on
the two-inch tire. am in favor of
four-inch tires on our gravel roads, and
if we cannot get the wide tires any
other way, we will have to try to edu-
cate the people to them.
