Al Last.

We do not know who to blame
or give the credit to for finding the
gutter on the south side of Main
street. 1t has been found however,
a corps of men have been cleaning
it out today, the odor from the OBJ
noxious residue, which as Hamlet
says smells to Heaven" is suf-
fcient to give every man woman
and child in town, yellow fever,
black plague or any other deathly
disease. Such an accumulation
of filth on the main street of our
city is surely the index finger to the
many new mounds raised in the
cemetery during the past few
months. But times have changed,
this, thank God, will all be remov-
ed and that at an early date, and
we may yet live to say that Ard
more is a good clean town to live
in. Keep up the good work.

one of the regiments of volun-

his parents at Waco a number OF
souvenirs of the Philippians, such
as slippers and textiles made by
the natives. and specimena OF
Philippine pottery. An article
whichMr. Shaw, Tye'sfather, likes,
x the silken flag adopted by the
revolutionary government. The
flag is red, white and blue, its
union is triangular field of white
with a sun in the center, from
which eight rays of light shine,
one ray for each province hsld by
the Filipinos. Around the sun
are three stars, the stars repre-
senting the island of Luzon, Wis
dayy and Mindqnao. Corporal
Shaw learned from an intelligent
Filipino that stars are to be added
as the Islands JOIN the union, OF
which Luzon is to be the center.

Z One who meets with disappoint-
ment is fortunate indeed if he can
make somebody else responsible. Wit.
ness the Italian farmer who decided
that, better late than never, he would
hear one of Verdi's operas. He took
his ticket, travelled up to Milan from
the very depths of the country, and, Sc
curing good seat, listened to Aida"
but he did not like the music at all,
and he wrote to the composer to say
so. Under the circumstances, the far
mer added, he hoped that Verdi would
see the reasonableness of at once re-
turning him his money. There was
his railroad fare, his ticket of admis-
sion, and his supper at Milan, for
which he inclosed the bill. The macs
tro entered fully into the humor of the
situation. He wrote back a polite
letter regretting that his music had
failed to please, and inclosing the rail-
way fare and the price of admission.
But he added that, as the farmer would
have had to provide himself with sup
per at home, he could not admit the
justice of that part of the claim, and
he absolutely declined to pay for the
supper at Milan.
