CHOOSING A HUsBAND.-A girl
thinking seriously of her future hus-
band does not lay any great stress on
good temper. A soldierly form, a pair
Of fine eyes, a noble profile-any of
these might easily outweigh good tenn
per. Yet Mr.. Smiles assures US that
"After the first year married people
rarely think of each others features,
whether they be classically beautiful
or otherwise; but they never fail to be
cognizant of each others temper" AS
to husbands fortune, it is not so i'm
portant as the qualities which lead to
characterization, determination, in
dustry, thrift; and position such a
man may attain for himself. In edu-
cation man should be at least his
wife's equal.
Undoubtedly there is some subtle
affinity between opposites. Yet there
must be likeness as we'll as unlikeness.
The latter will lend piquancy which is
pleasant, but the former will give peace
which is essential. At first love itself
will be all-sufficing, but little later
the individual characteristics reassert
themselves, and then in the absence of
comprehension and sympathy in ones
pet tastes and theories barrier springs
up slight, unconfessed perhaps, but
still impossible, and in one sense at
least man and wife are not "one," but
distinctly "two."

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of The En-
oU1RER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
DR.. De Normanville, an English physi-
sician at Honpkong, hears of woman
called the Beautiful White Devil making
her home on an island in the Pacific OF
which she is the sovereign and leading
piratical life in white yacht on the ocean.

White Devil. He is taken to her island
home, where he fights the plague success.
fully and falls in love with Allie, the Beau
tiful White Devil. Allie informs DR.. De
Norlnsnville that person in her employ
at Singapore is about to betray her, and a
plan is laid to kidnap him. The party
meet at Batavia, where Allie personates an
American girl. They go to Singapore,
and Allie, as Miss Sanderson, induces Eb-
bington, her enemy, to take trip on the
water. She transfers him to the Lone

Frank Mugridge, of the Second West
Virginia, some weeks ago, tried for
murder, is acquitted. Mattice shot
Mugridge in the back while the latter
was trying to escape from the provost
guard. Mattice set up the defence
that Mugridge, when ordered to halt,
turned and fred twice at the guard
with his pistol, whereupop he shot,
killing Mugridge and severely wound

Gaujot, of the Second West Virginia,

Private Frank Scurlock, of the same
regiment, is acquitted. Scurlock was
drunk and very disorderly y in his tent.
Sergeant Gaujot was ordered to quiet
or arrest him. On entering the tent
Scurlock made an attempt to attack
the officer and was killed. The pistol
used in the killing was the property of
Hatfield, of the celebrated Hatfield
Mccoy feud in West Virginia, and it is
said the elder Hatfield and sons have
probably killed 20 men with this pis-

And so that week went by and an

"Of course, he continued, 1--WE can
send tens of thousands of troops to the
Philippines, and as the senator from
Montana, (CarterD said the other day,
we can shoot those people to death
but ought we to do itP Is it honora-
BILE for US to do it?"
Mr.. Tillman then read some verses
from Kipling's latest poem, "The White
Mans Burden" which he regarded as
exactly fitted to our case. "Every
man in this chamber, but fve," said he
"who has had to deal with the colored
race voted against the treaty. We of
the south have borne The White Mans
Burden 1t was handed down to US
by your father and mine and it clings
to us like the shirt of Nessus."
He maintained that we did not want
to incorporate into our citizenship the
mongrel population of the Philippines
and inaugurate another race struggle
in the United States.
"There are two cities in the Pacific"
said Mr.. Tillman, "over which our
flag breaks to the breeze. Over the
one it is a harbinger of peace, good
will, prosperity and liberty.
"Over the other-Manila-i is cold
blooded and determined-to do whatP
To force upon these people a govern
ment whether it be satisfactory to
them or not"
The debate for the day on the Nc
Emery resolution was concluded by Mr..
Lodge in a brief speech in which he
stated some of the facts relating to the
insurrection of the Philippines against
Spain and the part Aguinaldo took in it.
Further along Mr.. Lodge, speaking,
of the restraints placed upon the
American forces in the Philippines,
said stringent orders have gone from
the president to General Otis and
Admiral Dewey to exercise the great
est care in their treatment of the Fill
pinos, and not by word or deed to
provoke them. A fortnight ago Gen.
eral Otis, in accordance with orders
received from the administration, off,
cially informed Aguinaldo that he had
no intention of making an attack upon
the Filipino troops. Senator Lodge
concluded by reiterating his statement
that it was his belief that the Filipin-
os has made d preconcerted and pre-
arranged attack upon our troops at
Manila for the purpose of infuenc-
ing action upon the treaty.
Mr.. Tillman secured the floor again
to read paragraph from Major Bells
report on the condition of the Filipi-
no insurgents, and concluded with
the declaration that the peace COM
missioners has gone to Paris with the
purpose of buying the Philippines and
that it was now the purpose of the
administration authorities to kill the
Filipinos like sheep.
