The Philosophy of the Enlightened

When we get what we want we are
always disappointed to find that it is
not what we wanted.
What sounds so sweet to the human
voice-to the one who is doing the talk

The knowledge that virtue is its own
reward is what deters many from we'll
doing.
The trouble with most reformers is
that they waste their time and energy
trying TO reform somebody else.
When a a or woman asks for a
candid opinion 1t may safely be taken
for granted that 'candied" is meant

Ho.v "David Harur," Came to BE

AN interesting little anecuote is told
about how David HaruEl" came to be
written. 1t is rather pathetic. 1t seems
that MIR. W;scott. the author. was the
kind of man who could do pretty much
anything-paint picture. plan house
or compose il sonata-but he had never
made much money. so when he became
i'll and realized that lie might not live
long and would leave his family with
little Or no money he was desperate.

and ncighbor to him one day when
they We're talking over the situation.

answered Mr.. Nescott. II tried love

the first speaker Take one of the
people about here that you know and

given to the slave trade By the act Of
parliament OF 1854, which legalized
slavery in tho North American colo

was unknown in what is now the
United States before that time. be-
cause as early as 1920 a Dutch maE-of-

New York CITY. then New Amsterdam.
The city itself owned shares in Il slave
ship. advanced money for it's fitting

NEW EASTERN POSSESSIONS.
THE UNITED STATES ESTABLISHES SOW
EREIGNTY OVER SMALL ISLANDS
NORTH OF LUZON

Washington Feb. ) (SpeciaD.-By the treaty
recently ratified uy the Senate the United States.
in addition TO perfecting its claim the islands

lished its right 10 sovereignty over the Bachi or
Bashee. and other islands TO the north Of the
Philippine Archipelago proper. The steps taken
by this Government 10 complete its title TO the
Bashee and other islands TO the north of Luzon,
II is said, We're due to representations made by
Japan. After the acquisition of FOrmosa from
China Japan found the question of jurisdiction
a troublesome one, because OF the Spanish claim
TO islands near Formosa and after negotiation
the boundary line between the Japanese and
Spanish possessions fixed at 2l degrees 30
minutes, just south of Formosa. and to the north
of the Bashee Islands. The Treaty Of Paris.
negotiated by the American and Spanish Com
missions, which ended the with Spain pro-
vided for the cesson by Spain of all Islands
within certain defined boundaries, the northern
boundary being line running from west to
east, along or near the twentieth parallel of
north latitude, and through the middle of the
naVigable channel of Bachi.' Rear-Admiral
Bradford chief of the Naval Bureau of Equip
ment who the naval attache OF the Peace
Commission. examination Of more detailed
charts OF the Philippines discovered that the
Bachi and several other islands lay outside OF
the northern boundary and il Is apparent that
Japan made the same discovery. To correct this
error, Secretary Hay. in the treaty for the pur-
chase of the islands Of Cagayan and Sibutu for
100000 induced the Spanish Government tC
agree 10 relinquish them. The belief prevails
here that japan desired the United States TO
acquire a definite title TO the islands north or
the twentieth degree Of latitude, rather than
permit Spain to claim them for the purpose of
selling them TO Germany or some other Power.
Rear-Aomiral Bradford says the islands are
strategically important. and that it was advis-
able Tor this Government TO acquire them
