valor. He said, too, that he was very
glad to have the school named after

OLD JOE, THE NIGHT wATcHMAN

(From the Pail Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late
on dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman as he sat huddled up
over his cage fire, overlooking the ex-
cavations which our city council in
their wisdom or otherwise, allow the
different water companies to make SO
frequently in our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-watch-
man Is obliged to keep watch over the
companies property and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What
a life, to be sure; what privations and
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains, which nothing but ST. Ja-
cob's Oil can alleviate.
'Old Joe" is in the employ OF the
Lambeth Water Works, and is well
and favorably known. He has been a
night-watchman for many years, III
the course OF which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold, he contracted rheumatism and sci
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and
1t began to look serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended
for livelihood; but as it happened,
passerby, who had for some nights no.
ticed Old Joe's painful condition, pre-
sented him with bottle of St. Jacobs
Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given: he crawled
home the next morning and bade his
wife rub his aching back with the St.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him"
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
when old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me, Guv'nor, did give me a doing;
they was like pins and needles for a
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like a
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell
Ing everybody he met what st. Jacobs
Oil had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life.
and that is to always to be able to
keep bottle OF St. Jacobs Oil by him
for he says there is nothing like 1t In
the world.
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
1t has conquered pain for fifty years,
and 1t will do the same to the end Of
lime It has no eoual consequently
no competitor; it has many cheap imi
tations, but simple facts like the above
tell an honest tale with which moth
Ing on earth can compete.

TAFT is OPTIMISTIC
PHILIPPINE SITUATION HOPEFUL.
The Governor Discredits Reports Of
Recommendation Of PeopIe-Says
Mercv Is Shown

Chicago, Jan. Ex-Governor Taft of
the Philippines was interviewed here
to-day. He said:
The enly answer | have to make to
the ideas of individual observers who
declare that the true condition in the
Philippines is being concealed, or that
we are hugeing dclusons Of peace that
can never be brought about, is that
the government is concealng nothing
and that my conclusions are not based
on wild theories, but substantial
facts"
This was the reply that Governor
Taft madc to a statement published by
Stephen Bonsal, declaring that desper-
ate opposition was still being encoun-
tered in the field and that the natives
are lrreconcilable and are better organ
lied than before the capture Of Agui-
naldO.
Governor Taft said that although
there was n time when for military rea
sons it had not been advisable to
make public everything occurring in
the Philippines, the necessity for such
secrecy is over. and that no effort is
now being made TO conceal any part
of the truth from the people of this
country.
"As matter of fact he added, "the
embers of distruSt are being kept
alive by sensationaliSts who seize upon
every petty point and seek TO twist it
into some horrible barbarity of our
government in the islands. Take, for
instance, the talk about concentration
camps. Although | am not sufficiently
well acquainted with the full military
plans to speak with absolute authori-
ty, ! can say that the whole subject is
much misunderstood by our people.
"As a matter Of fact, there has never
been any thought of establishing con-
centratiOH camps in the ordinary ac-
ceptance of the term. All that has been
proposed is an insurgent Gordon, the
establishment of Il dead line, into
which will gradually be drawn all the
remnants of insurrectiOn that exists
The nen-combatants en- the island
have never, even at the hardest period
of the war, received anything but the
utmost Kindness and consideration at
our hands, and it is hardly probable
that this policy will be reversed now
that the opposition is fast drawing to Il
close"
The governor believes that the only
existing opposition TO the authority of
the United States is being fomented by
men who form the Hong Kong junta,
most Of whom were formerly residents
of the rich coffee growing province of
Batangas.
1T is in this province" he went on.

only difficulty"

We looked for his, many Of us, two

who know how to live right rs well as

the necessity of casting all worldly

petition, however, has been made made
to Miss Rice and all ladies and gentle
men contributing to the success Of the

1t is an indication Of the growing ten

destruction are imperative, and the
habit Of the world is to pity rather

Young Ravens.

whether in the earliest timens ravens

why we're they chosen from among all
the birds Of the air for the merciful
errand OF carrying bread to Elijah in
the wilderness? {Did they steal it?
They are given to theflD Also in the
Written Word we are assured that
God heareth the young ravens when
they cry out unto Him." And moth
ing of this is said of doves, or Of any
other white or heavenly kind of bird.
An explanation is given in the Egyp-
tan commentary on ST. Luke, in the
Coptc script by Epiphanius, a. D.
36S-401. The passage is certainly
very curious and I am permitted to
transcribe it here. 'Why, then, did
the evangelist mention no name among
the birds except ravens only2 Be-
cause the hen raven, having laid her
eggs and hatched her young, is wont
to fly away and leave them on ac-
count Of the hue Of their color, for
when batched they are red in appear

Creation sends to them little swarm
of insects, putting it by their nest,
and thus the little ravens are fed until
the color of their body is, as it we're,
dyed, and becomes black. But after
seven days the old ravens return, and, i,
seeing that the bodies Of their young
have become perfectly like their own.

City and Country Folk.

In the series Of States beginning
with Maine aud ending with Pennsyl-
vania 63 per cent o. the inhabitants
are found in what are here regarded
cities, while in the region lying be-
tween the upper Mississippi and the
Missouri the proportion is only go.
per cent, aud in the South Atlantic
States 2l.4 per cent. In North Caro-.
lima, Mississippi, Arkansas, Okla
homa and both Of the Dakotas the
percentage falls off to between 6 aud
10.
To some extent, of course, such
enormous aggregations of people as are
found in New York City and Phila-
dclphia improve the showing of urban ,
as distinguished from rural, popula-
ton. Yet the percentages of this
State (72.O and Pennsylvania OH
are surpassed in New England. The
figures for Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, respectively. are 91.5 and 95.
The Old Bay State offers TIE most
striking illustration, perhaps, because
less than one-fifth of her total popula-
tion was to be found in Boston in
1900, while Providence supplied near
ly two ifths Of Rhode Islands quota
and the metropolis about one. half that
OF the Empire State. A factor which
evidently counts for more than the
presence of one big city is an abun-
dance Of small ones within given
area. This principle is illustrated j,
somewhat indirectly but conclusively,
by u table showing the average popu-
lation Of counties in various parts of
the country. Out of ZIG counties in
New England and the Middle Atlantic
States only twenty eight had popu-
lation of 10000 or less, while there
were 343 out Of $50 counties in the
South Atlantic States below 10000.

But that result i, inevitable, and

Joshua Expressed his Opinion.

A story comes from Cambridge,
Md, of an experience Of the late
Judge Goldsborough, of that town,
with one Joshua Davis, who was much
given to profane language. The Judge
was severely averse to profanity and
there was much curiosity tG see what
would happen one day when Joshua
was called to the witness stand in
court. In accordance with almost un.
restrainable habit Joshua began his
testimony with particularly fierce
and sulphuric oath.
"Stop!" thundered the Judge. "You
are fined 50 for contempt Of court.
Joshua paid the money and re-
sumed. BY extraordinary effort he
succeeded in delivering several unob-
jectionable sentences, but, warming
up to his subject, relapsed into his
usual vocabulary.
Again did the judge impose fine.
Now, flaming with wrath, Joshua
asked:
Judge, can you fine me for think
ing in court?"
"Why, no; of course not!' was the
answer.
"Well, then said Joshua, 81
think you are a blank, blank fool, and
no mistake!'
