Thereupon l mounted the box and,
having fairly good knowledge OF
horses, drove the carriage which had
meant to rob safely to the house of its
owner. At the gates Of Hennemont we
encountered a crowd of servants who
with torches and weapons were just

young coachman, to the rescue of theil

A LUCKY MISTAKE
From the French Of

ONE of my best friends is a country
squire. 90 years older than myself,
ioyial, kind-hearted, and, albeit a little
rough, man whom it is impossible
not TO like. Overlooking with the love
of his fellow men, he gives 10 every
beggar whom he meets, sometimes be-
fore he is asked, and, what is more
remarkable, almost always accom-
panies the aims with pleasant word
often even by joke. This custom is
awkward, when one is promenading
with him on the boulevards, and upon
such an occasion | once ventured TO re-
monstrate with him for encouraging
familiarity from the scum of the earth.
His handsome face looked grave, nay,
sad; he was silent moment; then he
said:
my friend, have you ever known
what it was TO be hungry, and not pos
sess sou wherewith to buy a bit of
bread?"
NO" answered, astonished at the
question.
"Well / have; that is what causes
my sympathy for the poor creatures.
Yes, in spite of the fact that | am now
landed proprietor, and was then
strong, young, well educated, and will
ing to do anything to earn my living,
] have known actual misery; bitter,
grinding poverty. Society left me to
perish with hunger, and it was only by
means of a crime that | was able to
continue an honest man"
Clearly my face expressed astonish-
ment, for, although | said nothing, he
smiled good-naturedly, and proceeded
to enlighten my curiosity:
81 will not tantalize you. for see you
are marveling at such paradox. Well,
then, know that from the age of 20 to &c
years | was sorely put to it TO gain my
bread. When things were at their dark

cruel city, and seeking through the
suburbs, in vain, for work, / sat down

ance to prevent me from looking like

fatigue and starvation, | dropped on a

AGUINALD0
Issues An Address to His
People
WANTS PEACE
Termination Of HostiIities Are
Essential
WANTS PEACE

Manila, April 20.-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people made public today:
81 believe am not in error in pre-
suming that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led me
is not surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress Of the
war. The lessons taught with full
meaning and which have recently
come to my knowledge suggest with
Irresistible force that complete ter
mination of boslilitieS and lasting
peace are not only de ,irable. but ab-
solutely essential TO the welfare Of the
Philippine Islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by Uheir fortitude and
courage. The time has come however
in which they find their advance along
this path to be impeded by an irresist-
ib!e force, which, while it restraints
them, yet enlightens their minds and
opens to them another course, present.
ing them the cause of peace. This
cause has been joyfully embraced by
the majority of my fellow countrymen
who have already united around the
glorious sovereign banner Of the Uni
ted States.
In this banner they repoSe their
trust and believe that under its pro
lection the Filipino people will attain
all those promised liberties which
they are beginning to enjoy The
country has declared unmistakably in
favor OF peace So be it. There has
been enough blood spilled. This wish
cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by a
desire to serve our noble people which
has thus clearly manifested it's will.
So do ! respect this will, now, that it
is known to me.
"After mature deliberation, l res
olutely proclaim to the world that |
cannot refuse to heed the voice o a
people longing for peace nor the lam
entations of thousands Of families
yearning to see their dear ones enjoy
ing the liberty and the promised gen.
erosity of the great American nation.
"By acknowledging and accepting
the sovereignty of the United States
throughout the PHILIPPINE archipelago,
as l now do and without any reserva-
tion whatsoever, l believe that l am
serving thee, my beloved country.
May happiness be thine.
"To signalize this important step
in the pacitication of the country
Gen. Macarthur orders the release on
sw airing allegiance to the United
States of one thousand insurgent
