A lively spree was enjoyed a short

the cider mills of William Smith, at
Bloomfield Center. Mich. A mass of
cherries which had been used to favor
brandy, had been thrown where the

hogs stuffed themselves with the cher

The Christian names of the girls
registered at certain New England
academy in 1850 were Abigail, Alhina,
Clarinda, Elizabeth, Esther, Louella,
Myrtilla. Parthenia, Ruth and So
phronia- The names of a class of
girls now attending a western high
school are Fannie. Lulu, Marguerite,
Pearl, Silvia, Thyrsa and Veea. Some
OF those in the earlier list sound curl
ously old-fashioned-but the people OF
1850 may find occasion to wonder and
exclaim at names that are more or less
popular in the year 1901. The one hap

Now that the American army has
captured Aguinaldo the question natur-
ally arises, what will this government
do with him. If the imperialistic no.
ton Is law, Aggy has been the leader
or an instruction against the u. S.
government, is guilty of treason and
should be hung unless through execu-
tive clemency less severe punishment
or complete amnesty Is prescribed. The
American people delight to do honor
to Aguinaldo's captor, yet we hope
there are those who will look at this
question coolly. If the Filipino leader
was engaged in an instruction against
the United States, he was also engaged
in an insurrection against Spain when
Dewey went in and helped him, and if
Aguinaldo is guilty of treason against
Spain, then Dewey is particeps crimi-
mis-. Who in America would stand snch
a construction of law? Yet if he is not
guilty of treason, what is his offense?
Every republican in the land Will spurn
the thought that he was fighting for his
country and freedom as Washington
fought for it in the days of the Ameri-
can revolution. yet very few would
want to go as far as to advocate the
same disposal of the Filipino chief as
Great Britain would have melted out
had Washington been captured. 1t is
amusing to observe how republican
sages theorize. They admit that exc
cution would be wrong. Yet to pro-
nounce him guilty. of an offense less
than treason does away with their cam
paign argument.

GENERAL FUNsToN's capture of Ag-
uinaldo is big feather in his cap, and
an event which has earned him nation

WHAT! Haul down the flag from

that has been shed! What has become
of the noble sentiment to the effect
that where the flag has been holsted by
American valor it shall never come
down! Has treason left it's slimmy
trail across the steps of the White
House? Has apprehension lifted It's
horrid front and Missed through the
keyhole of the Blue room? Or is the
flag lowering episode in China explain
ed by the fact that there is no chance
for American explorers over there?
