TALKED WITH THE MADAM.

Allen Ratterree, a Little Rock
boy, who went to the Philippines,
writes to his parents as follows:
81 have been talking to the
mother and son of Gen. Aguin-
aldo for about an hour. They
were being taken to Manila from
Dagupan, and stopped here
which is an eating station for
the trainmen> Aggie's mother,
to look at, is a poor specimen OF
humanity. She is a full-blooded
Tagalo, 65 years old. But when
one talks with her a few minutes
he soon finds that he is not talk
inc to a low-bred native. She
said when Aguinaldo was in
Tarlac she begged him time and
again to surrender to the Ameri-
cans, but she says he told her
that if he should surrender to the
Americans they would pat him to
the sword. After Aggie had fled
and left his poor old mother un-
protected, the natives OF Dagu-
pan, finding how Aggie had de-
ceived and misled them, looked
for something to wreak VEN
geance upon and fin ling nothing
but the aged mother and the son
Of Aggie, were in the act of put
ting them to the knife when the
Americans entered the town and
prevented the assassination OF
the helpless ones. She is some
what worried over the safety OF
her son, which is not improper at
the present time. The son OF
Gen. Aggie is 8 years old and is
a very bright boy. He is too
young to talk much, but speaks
little Spanish, Tagalo and Eng
lish. When I started to leave he
said goodbye in English and

The following appeared in a
Montana paper and was written
by one DR.. Whitford:
Arkansas is a queer state.
The people are queer, quaint and
quizzing and a hundred years
behind the times. Outside OF the
few small cities in the state,
built up by northern people, one
sees nothing but rags, dirt, filth
and poverty, superannuated
houses, chimneys erected on the
outside with small oak sticks;
plastered inside and out, houses
and chimneys propped to keep
them from falling; parents, chill"
dren and dogs huddled together
in the front yards, apparently
happy, as they recognize nothing
but blissful ignorance" .
Of course the DR.. is a liar
and quite an accomplished liar
He is evidently some big-bellied
ignoramus who wears q No. 0
hat; never was in Arkansas and
couldn't find it on the map. We
