A good story is going the rounds at
Harvard college concerning a last
years graduate, a dutiful son and an
industrious student, yet withal some
what literal youth. At the beginning
of his concluding year, his father who
was just setting out for Europe, said
to him: Now. Harry. you get your
degree. and I'll send for you to come
ever and travel all summer" Harry
was delighted. Father" said he, II
will" lie studied faithfully all the
college ear, and in June went through
with flying colors. Then he cabled his
father: Eyes" But the father, alas!
had forgotten his impulsive offer. He
unused over the message, wondered,
and then cabled back: Eyes, what?"
The son was in turn perplexed but
being n wcll-trained lad, he did not re-
main long in the dark. and fired by
dutious zeal. cabled back: "Yes, sir"
Letters of explanation followed, and
he was permitted to make the grand
tour. Youths Companion.

Three Thousand Armed Men Were to

Warehouses to Be Burned.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The war depart
ment has made public letters found
among the papers OF Gen. Picarte, re-
Gently arrested by the police near Manila.
Among them is an unsigned letter in re-
gard to an attack on Manila In January,
1900
1t states that the reason for not carry
ing out the proposed attack was because
OF the small number OF resolute persons
stationed at the gates, and because Gen.
Otis had gone aboard a ship In Manila
bay. Anotner attack was planned, but
not carried out, because the enemy"
made careful search of the city. as a
result OF disturbances the previous day.
The letter advises another attack and
outlines the following plan:
ITO recruit I'm your command OF south
Luzon 5000 men OF sure daring and
steadiness. These will enter the walled
city armed with knives.
1.-The entrance OF this number of men
will be effected during "A period of about
three weeks. IL will be very easy TO do
it, and / shall undertake to place them in
secret places wh--e the rest are arriving.
and, 40 soon as they all get IN, l shall
give the necessary instructions to direct
on the said point the walled city"
After making suggestions as to the
raising OF funds, the letter continues:
'At the same time, with all due honor
and respect, inform you, General, that

favorable termination of the present
