Wasted Money.

Edward Atkinson, who has a solid
reputation for correct figuring, has just
made public, through the New York
World, his calculation of the cost of our
Philippines up to date.
Up to June 80, 1902, by his reckoning,
the total cost Of our five years OF war,
first with Spain and since with the
Filipiros, is $500, 900 900, about one-half
of which was spent on warfare in the
coded islands. The cost of our opera
tons in the Philippines for the fiscal
year that ended June 80, 1901, was $144,-
600 ,0OO-or $1.S6 per head for the entire
population of the United States.
On the credit side of the amount, as
the total Offset to this huge annual ex-
penditure, Mr.. Atkinson places our in.
creased exports at the magnificent
total of little over $500, 900, or not
quite five cents per head for the total
population of our country" These ex-
ports, Mr.. Atkinson thinks, "may pay
profit of one cent per head of our
population"-say 100000.
Spending $144, 900, 900 a year to get
back $3.50, 900 precisely expresses, there.
fore, the business results of our expan-
sion in Asia.-San Francisco Star.

OSTEOPATHY

Parents it will pay you to have your
children examined by askilled anatomist
at least once or twice year. Growing
children should be carefully watched to
note any slight curvature of the spine Or
displacement OF any part OF the body, as
slight dislocations and deformities are
much more easily cured in youth than
in the adult. School children are sub
iected to many strains, falls and blows,
which case little notice at the time, but
which are the foundation for future dis
ease and suffering an deformity.

STORY OF THE SHRINE.

According to a pleasantly arranged
tradition, the Order of Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine was instituted by Kalii
Alec, cousin german and son-in-law OF
Mohammed, in the year Of the Hegira 25
Ca. D. 644), at Mecca, in Arabia, as an
inquisition or vigilance committee to
dispense justice and to execute punish
ment upon criminals who had escaped
the measure of suffering to which the
founders of this order believed that
they should endure. That it was a sue
cess goes without saying. The original
Intention was to form band of men Of
sterling worth who would, without fear
or favor, finding valid accusation, try,
Judge and execute within the hour. hav-
ing taken the precautions of secrecy and
security.
In tie above quotation readers must
not take this as an indication that the
incidental conditions of the system OF
speedy trials and executions, as prac-
ticed in our western civilization by the
courts of Judge Lynch, were derived
from this more ancient practice of law,
for be 1t remembered, so closely had the
secrets of the order been guarded, that
though our ancestors offered immense
bribes and costly presents. none ever

noble William B. Florence charmed the

veterans know that the war did not last
very long after that. McElroy enlisted
aged sixteen; Stewart aged nineteen
saw the hardest kind of actual
service, and was prisoner of war
Stewart was clerk, and it is said was
never mustered in, and never saw his
company or regiment. McElroy served
months and Stewart thirty
two days. These considerations give the
local committee in charge of Colonel
McElroy's campaign much confidence
Stewart is an able and popular man. and
