through with the Filipinos. Because
the Americans caused the insurgents
to fall back from before their adj
vancing lines is not conclusive proof
that there will not come rally after
rally and constant harassing of our
people. It is well, however, that we
have been given this chance to ad-
minister to the Filipinos such aasevere
lesson as they have never had. There
is no doubt about our ability to crush
these people in short order. But we
have no wish to crush them. Blood
shed is the last thing we seek. Let US
hope that we can complete the occupa-
ton of the islands peacefully.

lawyers fiercely.

The Japanese gardeners make Sc
cret of the means by which the NINA
ture trees are produced; but, like many
other mysteries, the secret has been
discovered by the curious occidental.
1t is simple enough, consisting only in
the cutting of the roots when they first
begin to sprout.
Suppose a miniature oak tree Is de-
sired. The Japanese gardener takes
an acorn and an orange. He carefully
scoops out the interior Of the orange
and fills the skin with rich mold. Elk
actly In the center he places the acorn.
leaving a round hole in line with the
sprouting point. He puts his orange
in sunny place and waters 1t every
day.
Soon after the first shoot appears.
and In very short time afterward the
roots break through the orange skin.
These are shaved off continually. The
tree grows to about five inches high
and then stops. In year it Is a per-
feet miniature oak. When the roots
cease to grow, the ends are vanished
over and the orange Embedded In a pot
or vase. The tree becomes more gnarl-
ed and stunted every year and is train
ed to whatever shape Is desired.--New
