was taken in by the ticket sellers
for the Mandolin Clubs dance, and
having carefully abstained from all
that was forbidden all through Lent,
thought he might go to TIE dance.

one to friend The friend asked:

MISS ANTHONY HONORED.
Leader Celebrated with Great
EcIat Mt Washington.

Woman suffragists gave Susan b.
Anthony the birthday party of her life
on February IS. They brought gifts,
flowers and all sorts of pretty compli-
mentary speeches, which they laid with
reverence at her feet. Eighty little
children passed before her, and each
dropped a rose into her lap. Each rose
was emblematic of a year in the life
of the great leader of American wom-
en-. Some one whispered in the au-
dience: "She began her career among
thorns and hardships; she is ending it
under a shower of roses and listening
to the applause of almost innumerable
friends"
This. indeed. was the sole and ruling
sentiment OF the hour. Every woman
in the Lafayette Square Opera house,
Washington. ID. c., where the ovation
was rendered. had come there for the
one specific purpose of paying homage
at the Anthony shrine.
Their leader looked the queen. If she
did not act it. She wore a marvellous

ROADS ABOUT MANILA.
They Are Reported to BE AboHt as
Bad as In Some Parts of Our
own United states.

When the troops first came to Ma
Mia the Pasay road was full of mud
holes and it was almost impossible to
move the troops from Camp Dewey to
Fort Malate in the rainy season.
When the dry season came and the
suncould dpenetrate between the hedges
of bamboo into the narrow lane the
road was better, but still the wagons
went splashing through the mud. One
hole in particular grew deeper and
broader and rougher with the wear of
the wheels, but no one ever raised
hand to I'll it up.
The Fourth cavalry was brought in
from the line during the latter part of
August. Capt. Hugh J. McGrath was
in command of the three troops sta
toned at the barracks. and it was he
who first conceived the good-roads idea
and obtained permission to hire a
gang of Chinese coolies to do the work.
The work began at old Fort Malate,
and the chinos were quartered along
the stone walls of the fort and ate their
meals there until the road had crept
along past the quarters. Then they
moved their half roofs to the south
and were ready for another lap. Bam-
boo poles were carried by the chinos to
the places where they were needed, and
the bottom of the road was first made
on these bamboo poles. Over them
was piled stone and clay, and then a
surface of sand from the beach was
laid on. Afterward heavy roller was
dragged up and down until all was
solid.
Shortly after the road was built to
the trenches at Pasay the cavalry was
ordered south to join Gen. Schwan on
his raid of the southern towns, and it
was succeeded by the Thirtieth volun-
teers.
Under Maj. Hartigan the road build
ing has gone far toward San Pedro
Macati. And if the volunteers are left
there long enough there is reason to
believe that the highway will be fin
ished.
Good roads are badly needed in this
island. Probably the worst road in all
the territory through which the wag-
ons have to go is from Mololos 10 Quin-
qua. The distance is about five miles,
But it takes the better part OF n day to
get through. But from Quingua to
Baliuag there is a good road that has
been in existence for many years. The
masters and the commissaries who are
compelled to take supplies and pro-
visions over 1t. Up to date the engi-
neering department has not built any
roads.-Harry A. Armstrong, in Chica-
go Daily Record.

FEMININE FOIBLES.
A sharp and Merited Criticism Of
High-iIeeIed shoes and Tight
ly-Laced Corsets.

To describe the vagaries of fashion
in women's dress from physiological
point of view would be to pen a scath-
ing satire ON the foibles of the sex.
From recent letters published in a
public journal we learn that one Of
the chief causes why a woman cannot
take the short. smart little steps that
mark the progress OF tightly-shod
and high-heeled boot is because she has
not worn them from youth upward.
Anyone who prefers cramped. artificial
gait Of that kind. to say nothing Of
the associated internal organic com
paints. would probably defend the dye
ing of hair. the rougeing of checks and
all other methods of improving ma
lures work. and would defend their
use in the nursery or at the boarding
school. Heaven defend our schoolgirls
from such a fate. So far their most
serious physical handicap consists i'm
the corset that a distorted feminine
Judgment still generally insists upon
their wearing. About that eXtraor-
binary implement of torture-for that
is what il amounts to-the one thing
that prevents its killing off a consid-
cradle proportion of the feminine pop
ulation lies in the fact that during
sleep the body is allowed to resume
the shape and movements with which
that most perfect product Of nature
has been endowed. 1t will come as a
shock 10 most of the sterncr sex that
the practice of sleeping i'm stays is
discussed in some quarters as an ac-
cepted fact. In the directions given by
one foolish dame the lady is directed to
stand upright and hold an old-fash-
toned blackboard. bracing the shoul-
ders. while being laced. This method
is said 10 obviate entirely the necessity
of sleeping in corsets. Thepicture thus
raised reminds one forcibly of the
medieval rack. with an innocent school
girl as the victim. instead of Chris
tian martyr or criminal. - Womans

reception. a rich purple cloak. lined
with ermine. Among host of elegant
Iv attired women. Miss Anthony was
the best dressed and the most distin-
euished in general appearance.
All sorts of tributes IN prose and po-
etrv were sent to Miss Anthony. Most
of these are too long TO be printed, but
a short poem by William Lloyd Gar
rison. one of Miss Anthony's strongest
friends for many years. expressed the
public sentiment sweetly and well.
Here it is:
The cibe and ridlcule and social frown,
That through long years her faithful Ire
assailed.
Are dead and vanished; as a queen now
hailed,
Upon her reverend brow rests honors
A faith that faced all adverse fortune
down,
A courage that IN trial never failed,
A scorn Of self that grievous weight en-
tailed.
Have blossomed into laurels Of renown
As. after days Of bitter storm and blast
The chilling wind becomes a breeze OF
balm,
Bnlows subside. and sea-tossed vessels
cast
Their anchors IN the restful harbor calm
So this brave life has gained its haven
best,
Rathed in the sunset glories of the west
Miss Anthony all but wept once or
twice during the reception. especially
during the addresses, and then again
when the children almost buried her in
roses. Tears came to her eyes-tears
of ioy. of course-but she speedily put
herself under control and few noticed
the passing wave of sentiment.
She hardly attempted to say her
thanks. A few words that reached
every heart in the great silent hall
She would have been kept busy all day.
indeed. if she had tried to make formal
acknowledgment of all presents and
well wishes.

FARMVILLE VA. FRIDAY. MARCH 23 1900.
THE OLD STORY.

! stand beside the window here
And gaze at John and May,
As hand In hand uLhceding 6ucht,
They wend their wcoirr way.
And, oh, Il brings me back the days,
Ere age had changed my view,
And every tale heard or told
i still believed was new.
Go on. go on. my happy boy,
And read your brief romance;
Youth Is the time for love and rhyme.
So do not lose your chance.
The joys that blessed my early days
l would not keep from you:
For soon you1l find the happy tale
Won't always seem so new.
We used to stroll. long years ago,
About the same old way;
You were a blushing maiden then.
And a lover gay.
| told you how my heart was yours,
And that I'd prove It true.
Twas an old. old tale told you. Kate,
But an. we thought twas new.
And as I stand and watch Them here
1t all comes back TO me;
The shady walks. the loving talks,
In days that used 10 be.
There they go walking slow, absorbed,
Just as we used to do:
It's an old. old tale he's telling, Kate,
But, ah, they think It new.
But can Il be that am wrong.
Have I grown grabbed with age7
Let me turn back lies closing book.
And view that older page.
I'm partly wrong. I'm partly right,
Loves story's old, It's true;
But though twas born in earth's first
morn,
Loves self Is ever new.

Protecting Tree. from Rodents.

In protecting trees from rodents one
should use exceeding care. Many
things are recommended that have
been tried by a few people and found
successful, but have been tried by 9th
ers and found destructive. One is i'm
pressed with this fact at every horti-
cultural convention attended when the
question of the protection is brought
up. Some of the oil washes and tars
are deadly to trees at certain ages and
under certain conditions. The condi-
tions and ages vary so greatly that
the fact that a wash has proved harm
less on one tree is not an indication
that it will prove equally harmless on
another tree. II is better TO depend on
protecting the tree with something
wound around it than to paint 1t with
anything Review.

were the grand stand and the bleach

park was also well filed. The ladies'
in the grand stand waved small flags
as Mr.. Bryan approached. lie was
seated In carriage drawn by two
cream-white and two coal-blnck
horses. At this point the arrange
ment for reaching the stand was the
best yet experienced by Mr.. Bryan,
the way being cut off by wire fence.
This saved much of the usual crowd
ing and was great protection. Mr..
Bryan was still hoarse, having pre-
viously made addresses ut Leaven-
worth and Atchison, Kan. but he
spoke for an hour and half. He was
introduced by Congressman Cochran.
MIR. Bryan concluded his present tour
with his speech here. leaving ut GAO

which he has been absent since the
goth of August. Before leaving he
was rendered n public dinner mt the
