ton of his resolution to learn whether

government, senator Pettigrew said
his only purpose was to ascertain
whether certain newspaper statements
were true. He said the statement had

bearing the Philippine flag had been
saluted on different occasions by the
American forces. He had also seen
frequent statements to the effect that
our forces had turned over prisoners
taken in the battle on Subig bay to
the Filipinos. II this were true many
others would like to know the facts
and circumstances under which it oc-
Cured Senator Chandler replied that

A DELsARrE THEORY.
Failing without Getting Hurt Is an
Easy Trick IL You Only
Know How.

people wonder how an actress can

the New York Times, has tried all sorts
Of fads as they have come up, "but it is
the easiest thing in the world. l tried
the Delsarte exercises at one time, and
for awhile, when my attack of the dis
ease was at its height, my family had
the pleasure of seeing me fall for their
amusement and enlightenment all
around the house. The great secret Of
falling is to relax. If you slip and fan
some time when you do not wish to, II
YOU can only remember 20 relax your
muscles you will be saved perhaps from
serious injury. Children and drunk

WHAT'S the Use OF Bathing.

Cleanliness is an excellent habit. II
is not, however, an absolute essential.
nor an essential at all 10 good health
and mental activity" says DR.. Thomas
J. Hills in the Medical Record. "The
healthiest man | ever saw is alive and
well to-day at "a, and he took a bath
only occasionally-once in the Mersev
at Liverpool in 1888 and again in the
North river in 1878, both Of which were
accidental. the gentleman being slight
" intoxicated when he fell. Almost all
people who live to an extreme old age
are found to be those who are not over
fond Of ablutions. but who otherwis,

OLD LETTERS.


The Rouse was silent. and the light
Was fading from the western glow:
I read, tn tears had dlmmed my sight,
Some letters written long ago.
The voices that have passed away.
Tho faces that have turned TO mold.
Were round me I'm the room to-day
And laughed and chatted as OF old.
The thoughts that youth was won't TO think.
The hopes now dead for evermore.
Came from the lines OF faded ink
As sweet ana earnest OF yore.
laid the letters by and dreamed
The dear dead past to life again;
The present and its purpose seemed
A fading vision full OF pain.
Then. with a sudden shout Of glee.
The children burst into the room,
Their little faces were 10 me
As sunrise In the cloud OF doom.
The world was full OF meaning still,
For love will live though loved ones die
] turned upon lies darken6d Hill
And gloried IN the morning sky.

TROUSERS FOR GERMAN GIRLS
rhe Kaiser Did Not object, Nat the
nurgOmnster of l'ischhauser
Was shocked.

A contribution towards the question
of women's emancipation comes TO the
Berlin Lokalanzeiger from Fischbaus-
sr, a small village in East Prussia says
the Chicago Tribune.
A 10-year-old girl there had been left
in sore straits through the death of her
father, who had been intrusted with
the administration of an estate belong
ing to the community. But she did not
despair.
Though only frail creature she sud-
denly developed an abundance of en-
ergy and resolved to earn her means Of
living by following the same occupa-
tion as her father. As a step towards
the purpose she addressed a letter TO
the German emperor, asking TO be al
lowed to wear mems clothes, which
would enable her to overcome all diff
culties.
The emperor's answer was encourag-
ing enough: "She would be granted
the prisilege of donning male attire
conditionany upon the assent Of the
burgomaster of the village"
The girls hopes were high when she
went TO see the village potentate TO in-
form him of the emperor's reply. But
they were doomed to failure, for, alasl
the burgomaster did not see his way TO
grant her urgent request.
"He could not give his consent" he
explained. "to such a shocking thing
which would be most dangerous TO the
morals OF the community over which
he had the honor to preside"

FUNNY FIGHTERS.
FiIipinos Initiate the American War
Cry and Then Heat HRsty
Retreat.

A private letter from bugler in Gen.
MacArthur's command in the Philip
pines to his mother in Chicago relates
a laughable incident about the Filipino
method of warfare. The story of Col.
Funston's several advances, and his
wonderful command over men, seems
as well known. there as in this country,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When, shortly after the fall of Calum-
pit, Gen. Macarthur sent q detachment
against some insurgents who had
thrown up breastworks on a shrub
covered hillock, the Americans crept
forward just before dawn, and while
a heavy rain was falling. With the first
CLEAN of daylight they rose to their
feet and ran forward silently until a
hurried, nervous discharge of musketry
told them they were discovered. Then
they yelled, and fired, and redoubled
their pace.
Suddenly they heard the Filipino
commander cry out, in fairly good Eng
lish;
Come on, boys-give it to 'eml" Az
the same time abandoning the position
and retreating at dead run.
The bugler declares the slogan wal
as effective in a Filipino camp as in az
American-only in quite a contrary
manner; 'for they no sooner heard
those words-which our officers most
always employ-than the last beggai
Of them hoped out of the intrench'
ment, and skurried away"
"This," concludes the soldier, sis il
line with the general Asiatic habit o.
doing everything backward
