IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

In the Philippines the law which re-
lates to the property OF married peo-
pie is entirely in favor of the wife.
Any property bride may possess is
never by any chance settled upon the
husband. and if he is poor and she is
well off he can only become al mos
administrator of her possessions.
After death, unless the wife has ex.
ecuted a deed in her husbands favor,
under lawyers eye, the property goes
to her children and blood relations,
but none to her husband.

this farmer is a man of ingenuity, so he
built long narrow hen coop, One-half
of it in Mexico and the other half of it
in Arizona. On the line there is a gate
and over the line are barns containing
feed. At feeding time the gate is open,
the focks walk into Mexico and eat
their meal. Then they return to the
protection of the American flag, lay
their eggs and carry on their family af-
fairs. The ingenious farmer thus makes
money on both sides of the line and
argues that if there is any smuggling
it is done by the innocent and irrespon-
sible chickens.
