The President, However, Convinced

Washington, April 24.-The war de.
partment has made public the tele.
graphic correspondence which has
taken place up to date respecting the
Moro outbreak in Mindanao. The i'm.
portant feature of the correspondence
is the closing chapter showing that
Gen. Davis expedition is not arbi-
trarily stopped, but that Gen. Chaffee
is allowed to exercise his discretion.
1t is believed that the presence of
Gov. Taft in Washington is the ex-
PLANTATION of the presidents direction
that Gen. Chaffee shall confer with
the acting head of the Philippines
commission before adopting hostile
tactics.
The correspondence begins with
the cablegram given out last week
dated Manila, April Is, in which Gen.
Chaffee rectes the killing Of the
first American soldier, near Mala.
bang, and the forming Of an expedi-
ton under Baldwin to arrest the muir.
derers.
In answer to this the following dis
patch was sent;
Washington, d. C., April 20, 1902.
-Chaflee, Manila: Expedition ordered
under Baldwin will not leave coast
until you hear from here. This will
not, however, interfere with com
pete preparation.
Signed, "CORBlN,'
On April 22 the following cablegram
was sent Gen, Chaffee;
"Chalee, Manila.--The president Is
anxious that no expedition be made
against Moros until all eff.
forts by negotiations have been
exhausted, To this end he de-
sires that you confer freely with the
acting civil governor. In the event
the force has TO be sent, he directs
that it go under the immediate com.
mand Of Gen, Davis. The president
will give you all support, but desires
exercise Of great care and prudence.

Gen, Chaffec responded TO the last
cablegram by the dispatch given out
at the White House, Tuesday night,
and published Wednesday morning,
stating that to Withdraw all the

To this statement the following re.
Spouse was made;

A near relation of the late Baron
MunchauSen on the maternal side,
lineally descended from Ananias and
Sapphira, was telling a party of friends
about freeing bull buffalo in one of
the great trees of California.
"That story lacks likelihood" re-
marked the man who knows every
thing, like so many other men. "The
buffalo belongs to the ruminant fam
lily, has four or five stomachs and
walks Oh hoofs. 1t has no claws at all
and could no more climb tree than a
Jersey cow"
GAS a general proposition you are
right" said the story teller, with per-
fectly unruffled mien, but this case
was quite exceptional. We were after
the buffalo with four of the most
vicious dogs that | ever knew. One
was a boar hound, one great dane,
one q psovie, or wOlfhound, and the
other a registered bulldog, with jaws
like wrought iron. Well, they brought
the buffalo to bay at the foot Of the
big tree and pressed him so blamed
hard that he just had to climb. That
was his only salvation. New York
Times.

IN WAR TIMES
The Story Of a Man Who Helped
Make History.

From the beginning to the end of the
Civil war none fought more valliantly
than the famous Seventeenth Indiana
volunteers. The story of their battles,
their privations and their victories is
long but interesting one.
In company B, of this regiment, was
Eli Fisher, now resident of Jet,
Woods Co., Okla, who has fund of ell
tertaining "reminiscences of his expe-
periences in bivouac and battle. Toa re-
porter the other day he related the fol-
lowing:
Gin 1864" he said, "while serving
with my company, began to suffer
with various complaints brought on by
hardship and exposure. I had hem
orrhages of the kidneys, palpitation of
the heart and at times would bloat from
stomach trouble. My lungs We're also
affected. From my suffering and mis-
cry l became nervous and my nerves
finally went all to pieces.
II became forgetful and distracted in

regimental doctor but did not get any
better. In 1865 [ was mustered out and
then [ tried other doctors. At various
times five different physicians treated
me and | took many kinds of medicine
but nothing did me any good. From
1887 until 1890 | was confined to my bed
most of the time and my case seemed
hopeless.
"But in 1890 I read in a newspaper
of how an Iowa man, suffering from the
same illness in general as L had, was
cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. decided to see what they
would do for me and began taking them.
used three boxes Of the pills before ex.
periencing relief, but after that my re.
covery was rapid. In two months felt
like a new man both in body and mind
l took them for four months and was
perfectly cured.
II have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times
l do so, because L know from personal
experience that they have wonderful
power to relieve and cure the sick"
The pills which cured Mr.. Fisher have
accomplished hundreds of equally re
markable cures. They are ON sale at al
drug stores Or will be sent postpaid, OF

What to DO With Old HATS.

If you want to make the best use Of
any old hats that you may have, you
should take them to the Nicobar is
lands. There you will be received
with enthusiasm, for the people who
live in these islands have quite a pas
sion for them. Every one likes them
and every one tries to get as many as
he can. On a fine morning the sea
roundabout these islands may be seen
dotted with canoes in each of which
is a savage, with nothing at all on but
a strip of cloth round his waist and a
tall hat, and the funny part of it is
that old hats are very much more
sought after than new ones. The NicO-
bar natives regard new hats with sus-
picion and dislike

is an individual affair, and many sur

In the form of the foot the sexes
differ as much or even more than in
that of the hand. A woman's foot is
usually narrower in proportion than a
mans, while his will be considerably
stronger in the ankle and more power
full in the formation of the toes, espe-
cially of the ball of the great toe.
When a woman owns a strong, firm,
wide foot, many of us experience per-
haps no sensation of surprise at find
ing her "strong minded" When a man
trips along upon q delicate little foot,
people instinctively believe him to be
lacking in power and often put him
down as Observation-Disclosures.
