THE PHILIPPINE LNSUR-
CENTS. ..T

1t is often said that gratitude is
paid by irgratitude and quite SCI
dom true, as we see by the insugents
of the Philippine Islands, who are
now fighting the Americans for no
cause save that of gratitude and lib
erty that we have recently given
them. How unjust and ungrateful
is Aguinaldo and his poor ignorant
and deluded followers. Had Mr..
Aguinaldo been like Gracia of Santi-
ago or Gomez of Cuba; he would be
reverted, not only by his own people
but by all the civilized nations. If
he had the true interest of'his country
at heart and the welfare of his people
as loyal patriot should, thousands
of his country men would have to-
day been living and by now instead
of sorry, ruin and destruction the
natives would have been settled
down to the peacable pursuits of
happiness as the other islands that
has recently come under our control.
Aguinaldo should be apprehended
and court martial as traitor to his
country; however it is hoped with
these brief engagement that we have
just had will be good lesson for the
natives and they will kindly submit
to American protection and rule.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTH
. ~. . DAY. ..

While only last week did the
people celebrate the birthday of the
most beloved president Abraham
Lincoln; again on next Tuesday the
22d the people will meet to celebrate
and commemorate Washington's ma
tai day who is claimed to be the
father of our country. Mr.. George
Washington was a true type of a
loyal patriot, perhaps one of the few
great men that refused dictatorship
at the organaztion of this govern
ment. He declined the presidency
for the third term, showing to the
infant republic that he believd rota-
ton in office and that this was the
peoples government, The life and
character of Washington and Line
oln should be thoroughly studied by
every American to get the full mean
ing of an unse!fsh loyal patriot.
The birth, sufferings, achievements
and heroism of both are phenomenal.
The implicit faith in God with that
purity of character and simpleness
of manner have carved for them a
name in the hearts of people; far
above all other Americans Washing
ton who was first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen shall remain SO down
through space of time. =

The way to a woman's heart leads in

Discovering bad qualities is not half

All the world wears mask before

When woman finds she is growing
stout she begins to complain that she
never eats anything and that he1
