HOPES AND expectations to the con-
trary there is every prospect that q
large standing army will be maintained
in the Philippines for some time to
come. General ]. @. Bates, recently
returned from the Philippines, where
he was in command of the Department
of Southern Luzon, thinks it would be
a mistake to withdraw the troops
rapidly from the islands for many years,
for when he left it was not safe, he said q,
for an American to leave q garrison
without an escort, and he added: II
should not advise reducing the force
below $4,000 at present" Now it has
been said for long time that the war
in the Philippines is "ovsr" but If it is,
why q standing army of $4,000 men
should be kept there is hard to ex-
plain, except it be to furnish offices
for importunate politicians and to keep
up the drain upon the Treasury 60
that the high tariff may be continued
for the benefit OF the trusts.

a Brave Girl.

Three girls running ranch on the
plains Of Western Texas recently had
an unusual lion hunt. One evening
the Oldest girl started, unarmed, to
ride the rounds before supper. While
passing a clump of bushes on the
creek she saw a large mountain lion
bound out and fell young calf to the
ground. Angered by the calf's help
lessness, and not fully realizing her
own danger, the girl threw her lasso
at the animal and caught him by the
neck. The horse started to run and
jerked the lion over backwards. She
raced all the way to the house, the lion
only hitting the high spots and choked
nearly to death. When she reached
the yard she drew rein, thinking the
lion dead, but he picked himself up
and prepared to spring. One OF her
sisters fired, killing the lion just in
the nick Of time. The excitement over,
the neryy girl tainted. You can build

particularly with the aid of Golden

"A Warning to Borrowers.

A man who was too economical to
take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neigh
Dor. In his haste the boy ran over a
81 stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like watery summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who ran
to his assistance and, failing to notice
a barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting handful OF
flesh from his anatomy and running q
81 pair OF pants. The old COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the cornfield and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the wife ran, upsetting four
gallon churn full of rich cream into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In the hurry she dropped a 81
set Of false teeth. The baby, left
alone, crawled through the spilled
milk and into the parlor, running q

Smallpox is not the terrible
disease like our fathers used to
have. 1t seems to be getting as
mild as Northern winters and ais
common as w. j. Bryan. Some
medical men say that the present
supply of smallpox throughout
the state is only chickenpox with
its tag lost. We hear much of it
being in lumber camps Of North
ern Minnesota, but about the
only death reported is that OF the
lumberjack near Duluth who died
in getting away from it. He was
quarantined and broke out-not
with pimples butout Of quaran-
tine, and a guard vaccinated him
with a shot gun. That is not the
only case where the preventative
was worse than the disease.
