OF our history or traditions, and every
impulse of the American people openly
contrndicts such statements. All the
froth of turbulent rhetoric about vIo-

ment under Agunaldo represents the
people of all the Philippines. Once con-
eede the fact that it was the purpose OF
Asuinaldo and his adherents to use the
arms provided by the United States to
force .Tagalog domination upon the
people OF North Luzon and upon the
tribes which inhabit the other islands.

OF Philippine liberty. md the tragedy OF

Peter succeeded Us well. even better,
than the best. Then he lost 1t all. He
either sold out to parties lnsolvent, or
on insufficient security, or Illegally. He
never seemed to learn how. Other men
reuped where he had sowed, while he
moved on 10 piow up new and virgin
country.
The worst OF 1t was that Peter. In q
patient way, was trying to gain COM
potency. Back In Vermont there was q
farm with more stones than even these
stony hills could show, and with less
gold In Its hnrvests than even In Peters
negative gleanings-for here Peter at
least kept out OF debt But near the
snake fence stood q little peak-roofed
and clapboarded house, with blinds of
emerald green. Over the house rloted
Virginia creepers. Near the ancient
well swayed lilacs, broad and low. In
the .old-fashloned front yard was the
butterflies with spots Of sulphur-yellow.
The house was empty and the yard
overgrown; yet to the vacant rooms OF
one, or TO the choked out flowers Of the
other. Peters gentle thoughts ever
swarmed. like homing bees. He saw It
bathed in the sunshine OF prosperity.
In his vision tho yard was orderly, well
kept; the house was populous with the
affection OF loving hearts. For in that
Vermont country. these many years, q
girl had waited-growing older and
quicter and more reslgned-for Peter
and the fortune he was to bring.l
II Peter had had more self-assertion
he might have retained some oil the
property he had so patiently relinquish-
ed. II Peter had had less faith he
might have been in more haste TO re-
turn. And somewhere the qualities OF
meekness and faith are eNtolled above
all else. SO Peter came into gulch one
afternoon, when the birds were singing,
all alone. In his slow way he built
shack, made himself comfortable, and
started in.
First he made a general survey OF the
country. He went up every little gulch.
even to the shallow top OF 1t filled with
loose stones: he followed out the skyline
OF every ridge; he seized frequent OPP
portunities OF taking a long diagonal
down the slopes. In this he proceeded
rapidly, but carefully. None OF the
broad indications escaped him. He
noted accurately the various bikes, the
general dip" Of the country, the gen.
cral direction of the parallel lodges OF
strata, the numerous cross lodges and
the Irregularities OF structure. Then he
carried with him a hand pick. one end
pointed. the other forming 4 blunt ham
,ner, and a number Of canvas bags.
From various places near one another
he Knocked off chunks of the rock,
which he broke into fine pieces and mix.

stone Unearthed.

Yesterday afternoon on removing
the stone work from the north corner
of the old court house the corner
stone was found In the stone was a
copper box Theoretically sealed.
The search has been going on for
several days for the box and there has
been much speculation as to its loca-
tlon. The fact that i was buried deep
er in the masonry than is now the Gus
tom to put the trophy boxes probably
put the majority OF the people who
we're Interested in finding it off the
scent.
AS soon as taken from its resting
place of years the box was turned over
to the county commissioners and It
will be opened by them this morning
at their Office. The box is about IL
inches square and eight inches deep.
From the best information available,
its contents include a number of old
papers, coins, keys, cards, photo
graphs and possibly a little old "red
eye" Some of the people with elastic
memories say positively that there is
some whiskey in the box, but others
contradict this. AT any rate it will
not be long before it is known.-Park-
ersburg News.

A Healthy Man.

The qualities which constitute per-
fectly healthy man are thus summed
up by the Texas Medical News: He
should have a strong healthy heart, one
not weak from disuse or the excessive
use of tobacco, alcohol or other
causes; lungs we'll developed and that
expand rhythmically, with ample
breathing space for health and a sur
plus for work or disease; muscles we'll
rounded and elastic, made hard and
strong by use and carrying, like the
camers hump, reserve energy for try
ing journeys; nerves, natures electric
wires properly insulated and connect
ed, bringing all the various organs of
the body into one perfect system, and
all under the control of a brain of just
proportions, well balanced and con-
voluted, not soft from disuse or de-
stroyed from need of rest-educated
for the high duties it was intended to
perform, not only to stand guard over
and protect the health and life of the
individual, but at the same time to
furnish feeling and thought and pleas
ure for the human being, All of these
organs, when properly constructed and
adjusted and perfect in every detail,
go to make up healthy individual
and one possessing within himself a
power of resistance not easily over
come by disease-producing organisms.

A Fog Making Machine.

A generator in the form of a wagon,
for the production of fog is the inven-
tion of Mr.. George f. Ditzler. In Cal
ifornia fog produced by this means has
been used to protect fruit trees from
frost. The wagon carries a sheet iron
tank, the upper part of which is filled
with wet straw, or similar material,
kept moist by the automatic injection
of water from a cask, while near the
bottom is a crate upon which tar is
burned, a blast, operated by a revolv-
ing fan, serving to maintain the COM
bustion. All the heat is compelled to
pass through the wet, straw before
reaching the air, and in consequence
the wagon is buried in dense fog, and
as it passes between the rows of low
trees it envelopes them in a mist so
thick that the driver is frequently
compelled to lead the horses.
