There IL lesson in the recent illness
of Kudyard Kipling. The cause of the
sickness was severe cold brought
on by his own almost childish disre-
gard OF simple health precautions. AS
told by W. f. Curtis. the newspaper
correspondent Mr. Kipling wore a
heavy fur-lined overcoat on warm DAYS
and cold days alike. He declined to
change outer garments with the mer-
cury's rise or fall. When he became
overheated in his warm great coat he
took 1t off. 1t was n performance Of
this sort, while returning home from
social function late at night, that
caused the cold which afterward de-
veloped into Inflammation Of the lungs.
What foolish origin for so great a
calamity as has threatened the world
Of letters! 1t Is to the general principle
OF taking care of oneself that the an
plication Of the moral Of this Is d.
rected. 1t is responsibility that is in
volved in the inherent duty Of making
the most Of life and its opportunities.
And yet 1t Is a duty that Is overlooked
perhaps more frequently than any
other one in the every day walks of life.
Every hour men OF intelligence and
common sense in all other directions
violate the unwritten vet generally un.
derstood rules Of sensible living. Usual
ly the transgression Is q thOughtless
one, but often 1t Is done with open I'M
Outstanding but reckless disregard of
consequences. 1t Is unnecessary to
allude to the innumerable OpDortuni-
ties to display lack of wisdom in eat
ing, drinking. working, sleeping. smok-
Ing, exercising and the thousand other
channels into which carelessness NAV
creep during the day or night. The
man who Overtaxes his energies in con.
slant work Is on the same plane with
the man who smokes too many cigars
or drinks too much whisky or goes out
without his Overcoat on cold day.
One and all are letting their careless
ness shorten their lives and interfere
with their opportunities for doing the
work given to them to do. They not
only throw away their own rights and
privileges but those of their families.
friends and business associates. which
are inextricably interviewer with theirs.
No man of business willfully leaves his
bank book or wallet lying around care
lessly where possible thief might lay
hand on it. Nearly any business man
will stand In draft in his shirt sleeves
on raw spring morning while he
listens to the latest story. That's the
difference In the sense Of responsible
ity experienced by the average citizen
as between taking care Of ones bust
ness and taking care of ones self. The
first mentioned mistake might cost a
man few dollars. The latter might
cost his life.

The Kaiser is not only the father OF
his people. but also their godfather
when they are unusually populous. The
Berlin correspondent OF the Daily News
informs US that he has graciously con-
sentcd to stand in the latter capacity to

Geisdorf He has also sanctioned their
christening as William the First and
William the Second. We cannot help
thinking that thereby he sets some
what dangerous precedent. II IL came

christened and registered as such,

then, as their father is coachman. the

Washington, Aprll l.-While public

ton to bring Germany up rather short,
as that is popular with the people. The
prominence which Germany assumed
at Manila, and her evident disposition

Mac Arthur's Division Ordered to Push
on to Calumpit-May Be Necessary
to Return to Manila.

Manila, April l.-Malolos is ours.
Macarthur took it. He advanced from
Guiginio at $3.50 this morning.
A reconnaissance up to a mile OF Ma
lolos showed small bodies OF soldiers
and 1900 or 5000 natives Ietreating
eastward.
On the right OF the line of the
American advance the Nebraska, South
Dakota ard Pennsylvania regiments
met resistance from the enemy in the
woods. The rebels fought a short time
and then fed. On the left. the Mon
tana and Kansas volunteers and the
Third artillery had no chance to fight.
Orders have been received to go on
to Calumpt. six miles beyond Malolos.
The movement forward will be slow.
There are many rivers. and it is rough
country, and resistance is expected.
The Filipinos found resistance fu.
tile, and fed, after attempting to fire
the city.
Aguinaldo escaped, and he is flying
to San Fernando, 30 miles or SO north.
1t is impossible to take Aguinaldo. and
uOW Tue lUsuTIcCLlOll MAY last IuOlllus.
The rainy season will Get in in two
weeks, and the Americans cannot oper.

Macarthur will pursue them 20 or
80 miles, if tie Filipinos stick to the
railroad; il not, he must return to Ma.

critical, owing to the presence OF a
large number OF rebels a few miles
from the city.

SERVE THEM RIGHT.
Money for the Cuban Army May Be
Brought Back.

Havana, April 1.-Governor-Gen.
eral Brooke has almost made up his
mind to send the 100000 back to
the United States, ii the Cuban mill
tary assembly does not give up the
army rolls.
"You may as we'll do SO and moi

Alger, when discussing the matter two
days ago in conference with General
Brooke and General Gomez. The lat.
ter said that such course would serve
the assembly right.
Anyway the impression is spreading
that the governor-gneeral may return
the money to Washington, and it IS
stirring up fresh feeling against the
assembly.

The future Of the island of Crete IL
attracting some attention in Europe.
and it appears most likely that while
other nations are scrambling for slices
Of the Chinese melon Great Britain will
quietly pluck this large peach and put
1t in her basket. Every one will re-
member what perplexing time the
powers had last year in selecting a
ruler for that island when it was de-
cided that the Sultan must yield the
administration of its affairs, and. also.
how 1t was hoped that the selection Of
Prince George of Greece for the posi-.
ton of Governor General would ulti
nlately terminate In the annexation Of
Crete to the kingdom Of the Hellenes.
But when the Prince reached Gambia he
found Sir Herbert Chermside, the Brit
ish representative, In charge Of affairs.
Up to the present time the new consti-
tuition of Crete, by virtue of which the
people are to be accorded an autOno-
nous government. has not been com
pleted and the question comes up as to
whether the Prince or Sir Herbert is
responsible for good order. The Prince
naturally thinks 1t suspicious that
Great Britain keeps a considerable
body OF men on the islands, while
France and Russia suspect that Crete,
along with Cyprus and Malta, Is to be
retained as one Of Great Britain's out
posts for the control of the Mediterra-
mean. The Sultan, also, is trying to
guess whether or not he has lost an isl
and that his predecessors struggled for
centuries to bold, and that without the
exchange Of shot on either land or
sea. While the island is nominally
Turkish possession, there Is not flag
bearing the crescent flying upon it, and
1t may be expected any day that Prince
George will go back to Athens, that the
union jack Of England will fly from
every fort on the island and that Great
Britain will then ask the powers what
they propose to do about 1t.
