BILE that he would have enough to over
whelm the Americans and their native
allies. but this did not deter the Ameri-
cans. They accepted the risk. with the
result that A~guinaldo is now safe in

Capture of Aguinnido's Family.
During the last year A~guinaldo's
whereabouts have been a matter OF
much conjecture. There have been my
number of rumors among them one
that he had been in Manila a number
of times disguised in woman's dress.
Baler. neal which place he was finally
caught, was where Lieutenant J.. G.
Gilmore and IA men of the gunboat
Yorktown were captured by the Filipi-

sisters of Colonel Leyba were captured

of the family suffered much during
this fight and were really fortunate in
falling into American hands. They
have been well treated in Manila.

of the departure of General Funston
on what many believed was an almost
hopeless errand, the capture of Agui-

exploits in the Philippines had faith
that he would accomplish his abject.
Some months ago letters were cap

was hiding in the northeastern part OF

ately conceived his bold plan to capture
him, and this received General MacAr-

WANTED TO FIGHT OLD NICK.
Pat Thought He Was in Fit Condition
to Lick His Satanic
Majesty.

Pat Brophy was one of the charac-
ters of the county some IS years ago,
says the Maysville Ledger. He be-
longed to a family of six stalwart
brothers, immigrants from the Emer-
aid Isle, who seemed to have an in
herent love of the "crathur."
On one occasion Pat had been to
church, and hadn't forgotten to get his
jug filled for the week
Now, among other virtues claimed
by the Brophys was one that they could
whip anything between the river and
the North Fork, and frequent brawls
were the consequence.
On this particular occasion. Pat be-
ing alone, no fisticuffs had come off,
and the blithe son of Erin had nearly
reached his home, when he was seized
with a desire for wee drop.
The jug was in his sack across his
saddle, and, in dismounting, every
thing went to the ground together.
The CONSERVATION depicted on Pats
countenance at the untoward state of
affairs as the jug gave way was some
thing to behold, but il was soon super
seeded by one of anger.

GIVING.

Did Hardenhart sat in his pillowed arm
chair;
A CLEAN from the CRATE gilt his scanty
gray hair,
AS he gazed at the flame, faint, pickering
and low,
And he fancied his long, lonely life was
Just so,
A burnt-out fire
Soon to expire,
And wondered if he was as ready to go.
Then spake small voice in his dark,
troubled breast:
You have still work to do ere you go to
your rest.
Though the light of your knowledge you
freely have spent,
You too rarely the warmth of your bountS
have lent;
yet all wealth-won with labor of muscle
or brain
Should descend on your fellows, like bless
ings of rain;
Use ennobles mans being-that of all life
is true:
Know, that fagot has done its full duty;
have you?"
Then the dreamer awoke, in the dark and
the cold
Half resolved to reverse selfish habits of
old.
What i gathered with toll cost me worry
TO keep,
And the hate of my fellows-who steal if
l sleep.
Better give while l live" thus the poor
rich man said,
ELSE no one will be sorry when am dead"

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, a variety of acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe it is
not very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
la grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per
nicious effects of this disease. The majo
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude Of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which Ia
grippe has brought upon them, what an I'M
told amount of suffering could be averted !!

A FITTING REBUKE.

StinEy Man.

There was a trifing fire in a west side
street the other day which caused a good
deal of excitement and incidentally gave a
fat man a lesson in courtesy. The fire
started in the apartments where the man
and his mother lived. The man started
about the time the fire did and got down
four flights of stairs to the street before his
mother knew what was up. When she dis
covered the fire she promptly tainted, says
the New York Mail and Express.
Meanwhile the fat man stood in the street
yelling: Save my mother! Save my
mother!" A messenger boy who was pass
ing stopped, saw the smoke, ran up the
stairs, aroused the woman and brought her
out in safety. The neighbors cheered and
the fat man looked uncomfortable.
Here, boy" he whispered. Here's
quarter for you"
The boys face expressed his disgust.
cav, save it, he said, "and buy yourself
some nerve food"
The crowd laughed, the fat man blushed
and the boy went whistling down the
street. He didn't know that he had been a
hero, and the fat man felt himself a coward.
