THE sPRINTING ROACH.
How the Ant Played Upon His Weak
ness and Won.

From the Ohio State Journal.
Once upon time there was a roach
lived in a hole in the wall next door
to wise old ant Now it happened
that the ant did not like the roach
and would gladly have murdered him
but for the roach's size and great
strength which made the ant no
match for him in a contest of strength
The ant placed poison at the roach s
door, but the roach was wary and ate
it not. One evening, when the lady
of the house came into the room to
look for reaches, the ant called upon
the roach to come out of his hole,
hoping the lady would kill him, but
the roach heard her footsteps and kept
close. Next the ant tried to compass
the destruction of the roach by dar-
ing him to climb up the side of the
wall, hoping that the roach would fall
from a great hight and break his neck.
The roach, however, refused to climb.
Now it happened that the roach was
a great sprinter and was very proud
of his ability to get over the ground
in a hurry. The ant CHANGED to think
of this, and, going to the roach, chal-
lenged him to a footrace. The roach
accepted the challenge at once and
Stateu ehaC nc couiu run faster Win
his front feet tied than any handy
legged ant in the whole house. The
ant selected the spot where the foot
race was to be run, which was across
a yellow sheet of paper on the window
sill. Hither both the ant and the
roach went and halted at the edge of
the sheet of paper.
Are you ready?" cried the roach.
II ami" shouted the ant.
"Go!" yelled the roach, and with
that started across the sheet of pa per
at a dreadful pace, only to fall down
and stick fast in nauseous mire
ere he had gone two inches. The ant
did not start at all, for well he knew
that the race course was across a
sheet of fiypaper.
Moral: There is a weak spot in ev-
cry mans armor if you can but find it.

IN ISLAND OF PANAY
EVERY MANS HAND AGAINST Us,
SAID MAI. GLENN.
WHY HE USED WATER CURE
CONDITIONS MADE 1T JUSTIFIABLE,
HE CONTENDS.

Y.ed 1t on Presidente of IGbares and
Cat Information He Wanted.
Eound That Every Man, Woman
and, Child in the Islands Was an
Enemy--In His Judgment They Are
So To-day and Always Will Be.
Proved This by ResOrting to All
savage Methods of Warfare, In
Guiding Treachery, Poison and As
sassinatiOn.
Washington, July 25.-Copies of Ma
Mia papers received at the War De-
nartrnent contain the defense of Maj.
Edwin A. Glenn, who was tried by
,ourt-martial on the charge of having
administered the water cure to Fill
nino natives. The particular case up
on which great stress was laid was
that of the presidente of Igbares. Glenn
acknowledged the act, but justified it
on the ground that he wanted the in
formation possessed by the presidente
and which he obtained by this water
cure application. In the case of his
plea, which was quite long, Maj. Glenn
makes some startling assertions. He
says:
Il found very soon after my arrival
in Panay that every mans hand was
against us; that every man, woman and
child in the islands was an enemy,
and in my best judgment they are to-
day and always will be-"
He then continues:
practically every president and 9TH
er official, principals, Cabesas de Ber-
engay and Pudigentes generally in
these islands have been playing double.
They organized and were the active
members of secret societies known as
the Katipunan, etc, whose avowed
objects were to advance the cause of
independence in any and all ways, and
under this high sounding phrase they
have made use of every means forbid
den to them by the laws of war. These
men of peace have actually Waged war
by killing struggling American SOL
diers. They have made use of poison
in the drinks sold to American SOL
diers. They have poisoned they ar
rows and the tips of their spears and
boos, together with the bamboo tips
placed in the deadly traps that
abounded on the trails. They have
hired assassins to killSthose who were
even suspected of being friendly to
the Americans, and have likewise en-
deavored to have our American Off
GERS assassinated. They openly stated
in the island of Bohol that they would
gladly sacrifice twenty natives for ev-
cry American officer assassinated.
They employed corps of assassins, who
under the name of Ducot, Mandoducot,
or Sandatahan, spread death and ter
ror in their wake.
Maj Glenn then gives the details
leading up to the administration of the
water cure to the presidente, the facts
of which were brought out in the Sen
ate Philippines investigation. He al
leges that he did no more than any
other man with good sense would have
done. l am convinced that my action
resulted in fastening the termination
Of hostilities and directly resulted in
saving many human lives, and direct
ly injured no one"
