Many of the men who are at the fToD&

land owes nothing to the United States
An acknowledgment of gratitude or any
sort OF concession to the Americans, they
say, would t.endanger the sovereignty OF
their republic.'' Who gave them the
chance to organize republice If the
United States had not interyened in the
spring of 1898 the rebellion would have
been suppressed by the end of that year.
Instead of having Gen. Woud for a Gov
ernor they would have Weyler, with ail
the disastrous consequences to them
selves that Weyler's victory would bring
to them. The antics of the men like
Cisneros and the rest of the Yankee
haters in the island give some color of
truth to the assertion of many English
men, Frenchmen, Germans and other
foreigners that the Cubans do not know
the meaning of ratical freedom, aud do
not deserve it.-Globe- Democrat.

Most of the Philippine Insurgents who

been taken by the police. This is good
sign. When the police find themselves
able to cope with the situation the re-
beilion has passed beyond the porte ntous
stage. Probably this is the reason that
Aguinaldo keeps in the shadow, provid-
ing he is alive. Still, the army in the

mercial advantages of famous old Yer
mont When the thrift and prosperity
that Is apparent on every hand unfolds
itself to the sojourner he readily under
stands why absent Vermonters can't for
get the oil home and why they find
nothing elsewhere that equals the green
hills of their native state. 1t is little
wonder that so famous traveller as
Rudyard Klpling sought the vicinity of
Brattleboro to build him a home 1t Is
not strange at all that the town has fur
nished some of the most brilliant minds
of the present age, but Richard Hunt
will never design nor Larkin G. Mead
ever carve anything half so inspiring, as
grand old Wantastiquet which raises its
majestic peak 1900 feet above the river
and seems to invite one to make the as
cent of its precipitous sides. From its
summit in Junetime the view Obtained Is
one never to be forgotten Here is UNI
folded all the wealth and beauty of
Vermont; far away on the hillside the
grazing herds tell the tale of the
thrifty husbandman, the white specks in
the distance are happy homes of those
who bring from the soil the necessities
for subsistence; these are they, who
make 1.-TWO blades of grass grow where
only one grew before " and but for them
we would have a sorry time trying to
live. Bringing the range of vision near
er to the base of the mountain and on
the outskirts of the village, one sees the
cosy cottage of the artisan set away
among lofty elms, telling the tale of
happiness and contentment. Then APP
pears the elegant homes of the entire
prenneur and successful merchant, the
capitalist who has come back to spend
his days far from the "maddng crowd. ~
Those long rows of brick buildings con-
tain elegant stores where necessities and
luxuries may be had. The noted cara
vansary appears, the summer home Of
those who know and appreciate Vermont
ers hospitality. The glittering spires of
a dozen houses of worship are inter-
spersed among the foliage indicating by
their beauty the high aims to which
they are dedicated. Far away to the
left like a silver thread comes Milestone
river tumbing down over the mountains
to reach the Connecticut but many times
is 1t caught, and claimed then loosed
again. to furnish power for wheels along
it's valley. The scene is a grand piano.

RRATTIEBORO RETREAT.

HospitabIe Home for Nervous and
Mental Invalds If search had been made
throughout the entire Green Mountain
state no more beautiful nor desirable
spot could have been found for the To-
cation of this famous home for invalids
Nature and artfice have provided ideal
surroundings and here may be found alb
solute quiet and rest. The beautiful
lawns, magnificent and stately shade
trees with myriads of Towering plants
and shrubs with secluded driveways and
every advantageous feature known to the
landscape architects art the Brattleboro
Retreat grounds are indeed bit OF
scenery which is justly the pride of the
state Since 1850 when the first purchase
was made under the provision of the will
of Mrs. Anna Marsh up to the present
time, there has been a constant effort to
add every Improvement to the surround
ings and make the retreat attractive and
home-like In the estate of eight hun
dred and fifty acres there is combined hill
and valley forest and meadow running
brooks, shaded walks and well built pr-
vate roadways. The main building is
substantially constructed of brick and
faces the south, having frontage of up
wards of five hundred feet Besides this
are several auxiliary buildings and a mile
away are cottages for convalescents. To
give any sort of a comprehensive idea of
the arrangement of the buildings would
require more space than we have at com
mand. The care and pains exhibited on
the surroundings are reflected upon the
interior and no effort has been spared
to provide every convenience and com
fort. A system of forced ventilation sup
plies pure air to all parts of the house
and each ward is flooded with sunlight.
In the care of patents every appearance
of restraint has been studiously avoided,
particular pains having been taken to in
sure homelike surroundings The Retreat
