The experiment Of Filipino self.
government under American protec-
ton, made in several towns that have
been taken in Luzon, is not an unqual-
flied success. The mayors, who were
elected by the citizens, were insurgent
sympathizers and have secretly been
aiding the rebels outside. Two OF
these mayors are already IN Jail and
others are under surveillance. This is
a fair taste of what we might expect il

sionists favor, that is, give them indie

At meeting Of Methodists at Ocean
Grove, n. j., last week, President Me
Kinley made a short address in the
course of which he said.
"There has been doubt expressed in
some quarters as to the purpose of tn
government respecting the Philippines.
| can see no harm in stating il in this
presence. Peace, first then. with char
ity for all, the established government
Of law and order, protecting life and
property, and occupation for the we'll
being Of the people who will partici-
pate in it under the stars and stripes. :"
This is the plan of the administra-
ton, until Congress asserts its power
of formulating a permanent govern
ment or doing whatever else it may
decree as to the Philippines. 1t is the
only plan an honest, faithful and pat
riotic president could have and it is
good enough.

Dewey has been cabled in which he is
made to favor Filipino selt-goyern-

in which he said that the United States
ought to take the whole Philippine

would mean no end of trouble Dewey

KIPLING AT WORK.
THE AUTHOR POET SEEN IN
HIS DEN.
Dr.. Leon Keiiner, the Historian, Ac-
corded tho Privilege of an Interview
with h Celebrated Character-Dis-
trustful Of Bimseif.

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling's objection to
being interviewed is known to all the
world. But the rule which Mr.. Kip
ling has lain down for himself with
regard to the Anglo-Saxon world
seems to be relaxed when due ap-
proaehes are made by foreigners. Per-
haps Mr.. Kipling is of the well-known
view that foreign opinion is a sort
OF contemporary posterity. At any
rate, he has been interviewed by DR..
Leon Kellner, who is on a prolonged
visit to England to collect materials
for his proposed History" on which
he has been engaged for the last ten
years. DR.. Kellner naturally desired
to learn something about the most
prominent figure in English literature
at the end of the era-his aims, his
method OF work, and the factors which
have gone to create so remarkable a
phenomenon-and with T~eutonic d.
rectness he applied to the distinguish
ed author himself. The result was an
Interview which appeared recently as
a feuilleton in a Viennese journal-the

regarded as quite near Sussex. Happy
father and happy son! or his mother
he naturally does not speak to strang-
ers, but 1t is sufficient to hear a man
say my mother to understand the
relations that exist between them"
The impression OF all this happiness
was so strong upon DIR. Kellner that
after his interview he said to himself:
To-day l have seen happiness face to
face"
The first impression produced by
Mr.. Kipling on the interviewer was
striking in It's diversity. Whenever
Mr.. kipling speaks and turns his face
full upon you you would think you
had before you a very wide awake,
lively and harmless child, but the pro-
fle shows a strong man who has not
grown up in the atmosphere OF tho
study. II have seldom adds the in

GAMES OF CHINESE CHILDREN.
Many of Them tho Same ~ Thoas
Played In America.


There are two theories In regard to
those children's games that are found
to be Identical In different lands. One
is that the games are borrowed by the
younger people from the older; the
other, that the games are OF %independ-
ent invention. Some light Is shed on
this question by passage from "A
Corner Of Cathay.' "a game called
the water demon seeking a den Ia
played by Ave persons. precisely like
'puss In the corner This is n native
game, not an imported one, and no
one knows whether Chinese and Eu-
ropean children invented It i%ndepend-
emily or whether the knowledge of It
was inherited by both from ancient.
common ancestors. The same may
be said OF the cats cradle which Is
made with n string and passde from
ly as among children In America and
Europe; but the Chinese call 1t

by jumping on one foot between shoes
that have been placed across a road
at intervals OF about ten inches. When
the end OF the line OF shoes In

kicked away by the lame foot, and
then II is picked up and carried back
over the route to the other end OF
the line. when a second shoe may be
likewise kicked away and picked up
before returning. Only one foot nay
touch the ground, and 1t must touch
1t only once In each interspace. No
shoe may be touched except the ones
which end the line. and the shoes
kicked away must be picked up with
out putting the lame foot upon the
ground. When the chicken violates
any OF these rules he must at once
give place to another performer. The
shorter the line the more dinicult 1t
is to collect shoes, because each shoe
taken involves turning around with
