OUR DUTY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

We seem about to do more and worse. The Payne tariff bill would put upon Filipino industry heavier bur dens than those imposed by Spain. It would condemn the Filipinos to a place among our industrial victims It would deny us and them that near ness Of interest which we extend to the least favored nation, and through which alone we can enter into theIr lives and they into ours.
 If we do this thing and continue in this course-if we permit the beet sugar clique. the domestic tobacco growers, and half a dozen other spec iaI interests to dictate our Philippine policy-then all our military power and our civil officials will fail, as they have failed, to make the F'ilipinos contented. loyal and American.
 Shall we go on wronging the Flip inos, and then pay the inevitable pen atty of blood, or shall we do right by them and ourselves and reap the good reward? That is the choice before us. He who doubts it has only to know the present conditions of the Philippines. as they are known in Washington to- day, to be convinced and to marvel at the men who, in the face of these con- ditions, passed the Payne tariff bill up to the United States senate.-Chicago inter Ocean.

AN INGENIOUS PLAN
By Which the Water Company Was
 Success, u 'ly Worked.

General Manager Cleary oI the Ari- zona Water company has . high re- gard for the ingenuity of his patrons He is exhibiting iron pin like those used to secure the headgates along the canals. This one has been in use for a long time cn a headgate. admitting water upon the lands of c well known citizen who regularly paid for a cer- tain amount of water Whenever it was his turn to have water the zanjero turned it in. not in full flow. but he raised the gate just high enough so that the volume to which the citizen was entitled could be delivered.
 Whenever he went back to shut the water off he always found the gate just as he had left it. It always seemed to him though that the patron s ditch looked as if it had been carry ing q bigger head than could have es- caped under the gate. That gate got to be a troublesome mystery. It occu- pied all the zanjero's waking hours when he had nothing else to think about, and he dreamed about it at night. He was absolutely sure that the gate could be moved by only three methods. none of which he was dead sure had been employed: one was to break the pin, another to break the lock and the third, to unlock the lock. The zanjero was certain that he had the only key. He was also certain that that in some mysterious way that gate was raised and lowered in his ab- sence.
 |. His conviction on this point was strengthened day before yesterday, when he went to the headgate and found that while the gate was just as he had left it, the pin had become reversed; still the lock had plainly not been tampered with. He reported that bewitched gate at headquarters, and the general manager, who is not superstitious. suspected that there must we a weakness in the pin, since it was clear that there was none any where else. The zanjero went back to the gate and made startling discov- cry. The gate pins are about eight inches long, and are made of three eighths iron. At one end the pin is slightly bent for q distance of an inch and a half from the end. In this bent portion there is a slot large enough to take the lock. This pin was apparent ly no different from the ordinary one. except that IL was more artiStically finished. The zanjero. after critical examination, discovered what seemed to be a hair line around the pin about one-fourth the distance from the lock end. His attention was directed to the hair line, not so much by the line itself, as by the different character of the file marks on each side of it. He now began to suspect the integrity of the pin. and giving one end a turn. he found that it began to come apart. The mystery was solved The two parts of the pin were joined together by screw, and it had been done in a thoroughly workmaniike manner. But for the circumstance that the patron of the company, in his hurry to reverse the pin, thus filling the gan jero of the company with a pardon able curiosity. he would have had free access - the canal in the night time for months to come

HOW SHE USED HIS WHISPERS.
A Wife Made Tides Out of Her Illus
 bands Beard.

Speaking of whiskers.' said an old police officer. "I suppose criminals re- sort to the use of whiskers for disguis- ing purposes more than to any other method Of cC1cealing their identity
 As matter of fact. q ma jority of men who belong to the criminal class are clean shaven. Go into any of the of fees of the country where they keep a rogues' gallery, and you will be i'm pressed by the number of clean -shaven faces you will find among the crirni- nals of the country. Whiskers are sometimes used. of course, by men whose faces bear unmistakable evil dences of degeneracy, but as a rule the men of this class do not wear whis- kers unless they are attempting to con- ceal themselves. They frequently use false whiskers while working their schemes, and throw them away in an effort to break a link in the chain that might lead to their identity. I recall a rather curious case which developed in a southern city a few years ago, and whiSkerS played a rather curious part in the business. The president of bank had been chloroformed and robbed in his room at a hotel. Sus- picion pointed to a young physician who wore a rather full beard. The po- lice took the matter up. The next day the physician who had been spotted appeared on the streets without his whiskers. The police finally went to his house and he was placed under ar rest. He was asked when he had his beard shaved off. He said very promptly that it was on the same even ing that the robbery was committed. There is no secret about the business,
 he said to the police. I got my barber to cut my whiskers off and I brought them home to my wife, as I always do. and I suppose she has them now Yes. I have them, said the wife, who was in the room at the time, and she hustled off after a little work basket
 which she kept in her bedroom. Here are the whiskers.' she said on her re- turn. You see, she said, seeing that the officers were little puzzled, my husband always brings me his whis- kers when he has them cut off, and I make little tidies out of tnem,' and she began to display the little things that she had made cut of her husbands whiskers. The joke was on the police. They had gone off on a false trail, and they got out of the scrape the best way they could. They apologized rath- CT awkwardly. and the throw down was so violent that they actually quit working on the case, and they never did find out who robbed the banker."- New Orleans Times-Democrat.

NEW HEAD OF THE TREASURY.

President Roosevelt has shown that he had a clear conception of partic- ular type of man for head of the treas ury department when he set out to find a successor for Secretary Gage He wanted a man who knows enough about the business of banking to un- derstand the usual routine questions of national finance as they devolve. and who has shown that he can be trusted to deal wisely with larger issues as they arise; a man who has demon strated that he possesses the admin istrative and executive qualities demanded for the successful conduct of this great department; a man whose steadiness and sense would reassure the great financial interests, yet whose sympathies with the people would re- move him from any possible imputa- tion of representing Wall street." in short, a man who must be considered by metropolitan bankers a safe head of the treasury, without being sus- pected by the masses of the slightest favoritism toward any class.
 MT. Roosevelt found these qualities eXemplefiied in Governor Crane, of MaSsa achusetts, who in the brief space of two years has won national recog- milton by the ability, independence and devotion to the public interests which he has shown as executive of the Bay state. When Governor Crane felt compelled to decline, the president turned to the middle west, and sought a man who in two terms as governor of Iowa has displayed similar traits and won a like recognition through the country.-New York Post.

TRYING MIRRORS.

Of two women in a furniture store shopping for mirrors, one every now and then would place the tip of a finger against the face of mirror and look at that point narrowly.
 Why, what on earth are you doing?'' said the other. -' --.s'

 But they don't quite meet; they are separated by the thickness of the glass, whatever that may be; and this best will show you it's thickness.
 If it is a good thick glass you will observe quite little space between the two finger tips. and generally, the thicker the glass. the better it is.
 If it is a thin. fragile glass, and some mirrors are of glass not much thicker than tin. you will see your fin ger tips so close together that you would hardly think you could pass a sheet of paper between them. But whatever the thickness may be. it will be indicated by that space between the finger tips. New York Sun.
