CASE OF ANALOGY.

1t is true, as Senator Hoar says,
that this nation has never formally
declared war against-the Filipinos. It
is also true that it never went
through the formality of declaring
hostilities against any of the Indian
tribes with which it has been at war
in the past, still it has waged war on
them, the same as it is now waging
on some of the people of the Philip
pines, and for the same reason. They
began the fighting and in order to
maintain it's authority and suppress
insurrection the government put
armies in the field and kept them
there, busy all the time, il you please,
until those that began hostilities were
ready to sue for peace. The case Of
the Filipinos is the same. They we're
the aggressors and fired the first shot,
or at all events did that which COM
PEELED the Americans to fire on them.
the Nebraska volunteer had time to
leave the muzzle of his musket the
forces of Aguinaldo were shooting
along the, entire line Of their forces
and shooting in such a tanner as to
leave nc oom for doubt as to their
preparedness and the deliberation
shown in planning for the climax they
had been forcing upon the Americans
for weeks by their insolent and over
bearing manner toward them.
Yes, the American nation has never
declared war against the Filipinos,
but since they have forced the war
upon us this nation has been giving
them all they asked for and is speedily
convincing them of their error in sup
posing that they would have another
Spain to deal with when they started
the trouble. ~
If the senator or those siding with
him in the present controversy please
to compare our operations in the
Philippines with what has been done
in this country, calling out the mil
itary to help in the preservation of
order and to suppress riot and tumult.
too strong for the local authorities
to quell, they are at liberty to do so,
for practically it amounts to the same
thing, We were in the islands be-
cause we had the right to be there
and according to usage and the laws
of nation our sovereignty and author
ity were supreme. The Filipinos un-
der the leadership of A%guinaldo were
the tumultuous and riotous ones and
their suppression became necessary.
After Aguinaldo's capture some of
them still continued to revolt against
the government and the work of bring
ing them to terms was continued and
is still continuing by the representa-
tives of the government. The Indians
of the western plains were also in re-
volt. They used to be tumultuous
and riotous people and had to be
spanked quite often before they final
ly yielded and behaved themselves.
The same will be done with the Fill
ipinos. After they have submitted
AMI ceased their war on the United
States the United States will cease
Its war on them, but not before.

FAITHFUL PARENTS LONG WATCH FOR A
SON.

The death of the Rev. William
Miller, of Clifford, ends a long and
fruitless watch for runaway boy.
Elder William Miller, as he was
known, was one of the best known
Baptist preachers in Northwestern
Pennsylvania. He oficiated at more
weddings and funerals than any other
clergyman in Snsquehanna county.
He was 81 years old when he died.
He was strongly opposed to games
of all kinds. One day twenty-one
years ago he discovered that his
youngest son, John, had been playing
croquet. The father gave the boy a
severe scolding and finally positively
forbade him ever again to play GRO
quet.
John told a companion afterward
that he would "show father trick"
That night, while the other members
OF the family were asleep, he ran away.
The only things he took with him be-
sides his clothes were the pictures of
his mother and sister removed from
the parlor album.
No trace of him could be found
from the time he left the house.
His parents were firm in their belief
that he would slip into the house some
night as cautiously as be he had slip
ped out. They accordingly always
left the door unlocked for the night.
When year had passed they were
sure that he would return on the an
niversary of his disappearance and
when she retired that night his moth
er left on the dining room table those
articles Of food of which the boy had
been most fond.
The custom was kept up on every
anniversary of the day for five years,
so certain were the parents that he
would return when he had been gone
five years that they planned to have
a party for him to which they invited
the young people of the neighbor-
hood.
Then ten years was the time toward
which they looked forward, for they
said Johnny will surely come home
when he has been gone ten years."
The fifteenth and twentieth ami
versaries of the boys disappearance
were as anxiously awaited by the par
ents. Three years ago they counted
much on the twenty-fifth year since
their boy ran away, at which time
they were especially sure that he
would return and the mother was
ready to greet him with an abundance
of delicacies of which he once was
fond.
Since the night he disappeared not
a thing has been heard from the miss
ing son. But never for an instant
would the parents entertain the be-
lief that he was dead. Up to the
hour of his death, VIM. Miller ex-
pected his sons return.
The aged mother, now alone, has
again taken UP the Match.-As for
she listens for the opening of the
door which for more than twenty
eight years has never been locked.

MEN WHO WORK ON THE FARM

Our hearts are filed with rapture and we're
likewise very brave,
When marching with an army grand to liberate
But when the military pageants have passed
with pomp and charm,
We remember all is furnished by men who work
the farm.
When singing of the courage which our heroes
never lack,
We forget that every farmer bears soldier on
his back.
Week in. week out, the season through, he swings
To furnish idle thousands with the products of
the farm.
But for these toiling millions, who are natures
n0blest sons,
We'd have no fleet of battle-ships, no men be-
hind the guns;
We'd have no missionaries brave, the gospel to
expound,
No diplomats with wondrous tact, and wisdom
most profound.
Our infant industries would close, prosperity
We soon would miss the dinner pail of which
the workman sings.
The "boss. - with plutocratic micn, would power
For his pockets would be empty, but for men
who work the farm.
Our transportation companies, and the portly
pictured trust,
Would cease their secret conclaves as the favor
ed upper crust:''
There'd be no philanthropic gifts, suspicion to
d1Sarm,
And every business door would close, but for
men who work the farm.
The money for ship subsidies. nobody could
collect,
And bills for pension increase would be objects
of neglect.
Our billion dollar Congresses would cease to
cause alarm,
And the lobbyist would perish, but for men who
work the farm.
Our kings and priests and presidents, with armies
at their beck,
Would very soon, like Uncle Paul. begin
weary trek
The once inspiring spectacle would be devoid of
charm,
And they'd face the foe, starvation, but for men
who work the farm.

TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.

I think few hints on the hygiene
of the skin may prove of service tc
many of our sex. The world of wo-
men is apt to get divided into two
classes = the women who make a
fetch of their complexions and the
women who do not try to make the
best of the natural gifts that nature
has bestowed upon them.
Without entering on the vast sub
ject of the value of relative washes
or tonics for the skin, wish to give
few hygienic hints which may be
found of service to those who have
the womanly instinct of wishing to
make the best ofthe beauty and health
that Providence has given them.
Sleep is one of the great preservers
of youth. Eight hours of regular
sleep at night and a short nap during
the day will do much to keep the face
free from wrinkles. Always sleep
with the bedroom window open a
few inches at the top, both in summer
and winter. A daily morning bath,
tepid in winter and cold in manner,
with brisk rub to follow, will be
found to keep the skin fresh and clear.
At least couple of hours must be
spent in the open air, either in walk
ing, bicycling, or playing games, as
circumstances permit.
All tight clothing must be avoided,
as it disturbs the circulation and is
often the cause of enlarged veins and
red noses.
The effect of diet on the skin is of
the utmost importance, and many
dermatologists have made careful
study of this aspect of the question.
Abstention from all rich food and
stimulants has been tried with sue
cess. A great lady, who was famous
even in her old age for her beautiful
ly clear complexion and freedom from
wrinkles, was once persuaded to tell
the secret of her youthful looks. The
answer was very simple. Abstinence
had been the rule of her life. No
tea, coffee, or stimulant of any kind
instead of taking animal food, try
some boiled fish, or couple of eggs
every day. Drink lemonade or water,
eat apples, grapes, and figs regularly.
Take the raw juice of a lemon every
other day.
Never fail to walk several miles per
day. Bathe frequently in almost cold
water. Above all, never let anything
have the power to worry you, but al
ways try to remain calm and cheerful.
This excellent advice, possible to
follow, is worthy of a trial. 1 can
only offer it to my readers with the
assurance that it has proved success
full, and has helped in more than one
case to preserve youth and beauty.
1t is needless to add that this goes
long way to create happiness.-Lon-
don 7elegyabh.
