TAFT'S COMMISSION SIGNED.
President by Stroke of Pen Maker
Him Governor of the Phil
ippines.

Washington, July 2.-The president
Monday signed the commission of
William h. Taft, Ohio, as civil gov
ernor of the Philippine islands.
Judge Taft was notified some time
ago when Instructions were, sent him
relative to the Inauguration of civil
government in the islands July 4
that he would be appointed civil gov
ernor. While the appointment of the
civil governor is credited to the war
department., this does not mean nee
essarily that the president is pro-
ceeding entirely under his war power
in setting up civil government in the
Philippines. He is not differentiat-
ing the source of his authority. BE
is acting, so it is authoritatively
stated, under all the powers he has
in the premises. 80

"Meeting house," says the Cen

Practical Jokes Are Dangerous

Sometimes it is not wise to
"scarc' people ''iust for fun" In
the small town of Bolivar, N. v,
there is il boy who is suffering from
such Il fright, the result of a prac-
teal joke play ed upon him by school
friends. 'lh".c friends jumped at
him from behind 4 stone wall one
evening and their SUCCESS at fright
cning Kim wns more than they had
anticipated. However. it was soon
ever and they thought no more
about it. Not long aftcrward Paul
Cowcs--tEat is the bov'S namc--bc-
gan to lose his hair. Not only his
generous supply of curls failed him,
but hn lost his eyebrows and eye
winkcrS as well. lis parents were
much concerned and took him to a
we'll known specialist, who deter
mined that the loss of hair was due
to fright.
Then began trying time for
Paul. lis head became as smooth
and shiny as a billiard ball and the

Of it, laughed at him. Thc physi-
elan says it will be a year at least

The Smallest Adult Human Beings In
the World.

What are supposed to be the
smallest human beings other than
mere babes have been discovered re-
Gently on the banks Of the Irawadi
river in Burma. Those two tiny
creatures are brother and sister, re-
joicing in the names of Fatma and
Smaun. They were discovered by
Indian pearl merchants and taken
10 Europe, where they have been at
fractions in museums. They ara
now in this country.
Fatma, the girl, is 20 years old,
is 3? centimctcrs, or less than "a
inches, in height, and when in
health weighs Is pounds 10N
ounces,
Smaun, the boy, is IS, is so
centimcters, or less than 20 inches,
tall, and weighs 10 pounds IA
ounces.
There are two strange facts in
connection with these youngsters.
Their parents are an ordinary Bur-
ma couple of yellowish brown
color. Between the midgets there
was born to this couple boy of the
average size, and also there are
other children in the family who
are of normal stature,
The tiny creatures are not freaks
altogether, for they are said to be
perfect physically-just human be-
ings built on very, very small
scale. They are yellowish brown.
When it is remembered that the
famous Tom Thumb was almost 80
inches tall, it will be seen what Won
dcrful midgets these two Burmese
children are.
Since arriving in Europe Fatma
and Smaun have picked up a smat-
tering of German and French. They
speak the Burmese language per-
fcctly and they are now learning
English, and also to do Il cake walk
and to sing. Those who have seen
their efforts to copy the colored
gentlemen in the intricacics of the
cake walk and have heard their eff
forts to master syncopation say they
are ''just too cute for anything"
There has been an effort to con-
meet these pygmics with those of
ancient times. All the ancient
chroniclers, including Homer, tell
of small human people. Homer
narrates Of a remarkable small race
of people who dwell in the interior
of Asia. In Greek he called them
"pygmaia," which means ''thumb,"
and so it is that Tom Thumb took
his name. Homer relates that these
pvgmles were in perpetual war on
the river Oceanus with the Cra-
inches, their most implncable eney
mics. Other shroniclcrs also men
ton this tiny people in the center
Of Asia.
