without moments hesitation, "Ba-

No she said, I'm afraid not. You
see, like this one very well, though.
OF course, II doesn't do the baby JUS
tice; but his aunt Ellen says It's an
absolute caricature OF the dear little
fellow. The one she likes don't care
for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom 1t was intended;
1t looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child.

1t makes baby's mouth look so much
larger than 1t really Is.
His grandmother chose that one
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look In the child's eyes in
livery queer! However, she likes
that one where he's almost crying, that
sober one. You ought to have heard
baby's grandfather when che said she
liked II.
"'He really decided the thing, for
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why didn't have some more

hard for me to spare the time, but you

Where He Fen Down.

Where He Fen Down.
He had faced ten thousand foemen In
the fray,
He had braved the widest terrors Of
the sea:
No danger ever made him turn away.
For never was a drawer man than
he;
Where cannon doomed and blood In
rivers ran
His calmness OF demeanor never
fled:
But he rose to make a speech, the
foolish man,
And In a trice completely lost his
head.
He never flinched when face to face
with death,
The greatest danger never chilled
his heart
Or even made him draw quicker
breath
A score OF times he played hero's
part;
when called upon to face a deadly
breach
He rushed to act without a sign OF
dread;
But once he rose and tried to make a
speech
And quickly and completely lost his
head.

THE PEACE COMMISSION
1t Reaches Manila and Opens
Negotiations.
THE OLD PROPOSAL OF ARMISTICE
Gen. Otis Gives Flat Refusal to the Prop
osition - Gen. Luna Makes Frenzied
Effort to Postpone the Coming of Peace
Three Representatives Under Arrest.

MANILA, May 20.-Special to the
New York World.-General Luna dis
solved the peace commission appoint
ed by Aguinaldo. Two members.
Buencamino and Arguelles, were put
under arrest at Tariac, where Luna 8
government is established. Four 9TH
er commissioners were appointed, who
came into Lawton's lines at San Isl.
dro with authority limited to asking
the cessation of hostilities. The new
commission is headed by General
Gregorio del Pillar.
Colonel French, with the Twenty
second, was sent down the river three
miles from San Isidro by General
Lawton. There he met the enemy,
driving them out with the loss of four
Americans.
Kobbe, with the Seventeenth and
Nineteenth, is expected to meet

peace, arrived here at SIS m. today.
They have submitted no new prop

RURAL JOURNALISM EXCITING.

There Was No Rest for the Weary.
A newspaper man who recently
went up the state to take charge of a
rural sheet and give his tired brain a
rest has come back to town and Is
hustling for his old job. The country
Is all right" he declares, "but there Is
too much happening, and l came back
to town to find a more restful atmos-
pnere. There were two papers In town,
and | had to watch the otner. Both
published Friday, and we could not af-
ford to let the other fellows beat us
on news. The first issue looked all
right, but the old man kicked because
we were scooped on the death of a
COW on farm three miles out of town,
and would not be consoled when I
showed him the opposition had missed
n story we had on the accident in the
railroad yard. The next week 1t was
the same way; we did not announce
shat the baker had lost ten loaves OF
bread from his delivery cart, and
there was howl that rather sickened
me OF the country.
The third week settled the job. We
were all ready to start to press when
the old man rushed in greatly excited
and announced that he had beat, We
lifted off one form and waited while
the old chap wrote out his story, and
this Is what | had to kill one OF my pet
small editorials for: We. notice that
George W. Haskins Is making prepa-
rations to improve the appearance Of
his cosy home in Protection street In
the spring. We noticed Mr.. Hasklns
in close conversation with Mr. Smith,
the painter, whose advertisement ap-
pears in another column, and learn
that he will have his residence painted
a light buff, with white trimmings and
green shutters, when the weather mod

appearance OF our little village. 9th
