Why Not You:

My wife has been using Chamberlain s
Pain Balm, with good results, for a lame
shoulder that has panied her continually
for nine years. We have tried all kinds
of medicines and doctors without receiv.

day we saw an advertisement of this
medicine and thought of irving it, which
we did with the best of satisfaction. She
has used only one bottle and her shoulder

MOI NTAiN RETREATS.

"rhe country east of the railroad, north
of Angeles to Dagupan, is much like it is
south of Manila, except higher and broken.
West of the railroad are high mountains
that will offer the insurgents better op-
pOrtunities to retreat and escape than
they had in the low country. With the
taking of the railroad we will have cut off
the province of Zambales, Paggasinan,
Tarlac, Pananga and Bataan, from the
main part of the island, and can Law claim
to good deal more country thar the pre-
else amount of real estate on which our
army is now camping
The walled city cannot understand
why the army has so much trouble with
the railroad. When the officers in the
field notify the walled city that the rails
have been torn up from the section of
the track just captured and that the ties
have been burned and the grade DESTROY
ed, they get an order to fix it, So, after
at few miles of railroad are captured, the
soldiers have to scatter up and down the
track and go mining for steel rails. The
insurgents bury the rails five or six feet
deep. They observed that the Americans
located the rails by soundings with
crowbar, so they resorted to the expedieni
OF putting layer OF. ties over the rails.
To replace the burned ties the quarter.
masters department was forced to use
planks, two boards each two inches wide
being linked together Tor ties. The side
track, where possible, all the way back to |
Manila, was jerked up, carried north and |
put down, where the rails could not be
found.
INSURGENTS PLEASED
From what can be learned from the
insurgents. they are well satisfied with the
present condition Of affairs. Their con-
gress has just returned communication
to the American peace commission, de-
claring that while they would have &C.
cepted autonimy from our government if
they had been properly dealt with at first,
they will now consider no proposition ex-
'ept independence. With almost $4,000
miles OF territory from which to draw sup.
plies, aud boats coming IN without an,
opposition from Hong Kong, Japan and
rom Central and South America aud
Australia, the insurgents probably are
ioing we'll as far as supplies are con-
,srned."

country. and although he might have re-
sented the insult with violence. he de-
parted in peace. This was the principle
of his patriotism: "a man has never the
right To plunge his country into war or
strife. TO sacrifice the lives OF his COM
patriots 10 avenge a personal Insult"
Throughout his whole career he was loyal
and patriotic, but never theatrical. Not
in one single instance did he manifest the
desire to render himself picturesque IN
the eyes OF posterity. Two years ago he
died. leaving his magnificent possessions
at Chantilly TO the state. thus proving
that in spite OF many injustices he mad
no rancor in his heart against his coun-
trymen. On the territory that belonged
to him and 10 his ancestors the new
statue from the hand Of Gerome now tells
