saw that while they suIkcd in their

gain credit from outsiders, but would
also reap IA solid pecuniary advan.

the operators won, how they won is

PROBABLE CAUSE OF
so MANY COLONIES.

SO MANY COLONIES.
An old gray-haired negro of the
rapidly disappearing ante bellum type
the other day threw what may be some
light on the matter for there being so
many colonies and majors in the
south.
A local business man was several
miles east of the city one day looking
for a gentleman Of the unpretentious
name of Smith.
Discerning that he was not able to
find Mr.. Smith unaided he inquired Of
an old negro whom he met if he knew
where Will Smith lived.
The old darkey hesitated just lit
tie, and then with an air of import
ance, replied:
Eyes sub: yes sub. knows wha
Kunnel William Smith Ibis. Right
down de road, dar, bout fo' hundred
yards"
The gentleman was not aware that
his friend Smith had any claim on the
little of colonel. and he told the old
darKey that he never knew of Smith
going to war. and asked him why
he called Smith colonel.
The old darkey looked at his ques-
toner in a way indicating pity at his
ignorance. and replied in a tone in
ticating superior wisdom:
Mister, don you know peoples is
bon kunnels?"

WEE WEARY WILLIES
STICK TO OTHER PEG.
PIES PROPERTY.
He Is an Umbrella Member by Trade
and Probably Thief by Pro-
fesison.

A man bearing the alliterative
name of Willie Williams was arrested
Saturday by Officer Culpepper of the
police department. He is charged
with petit larceny, and there seems to
be no doubt of his guilt.
Willie Williams is not as young as
his juvenile sounding name would in
dicate In fact, he is far past the
meridian of life. He is an umbrella
mender by trade, and probably thief
by profession.
Saturday he walked into the tailor
ing establishment of Mr. Fred Schneid-
er, on Barraque and discoursed his
monotonous song of Umbrellas to
mend.' Mr.. Schneider, having no um
brellas that were not in working or
der he walked out. Incidental to his
departure he took with him fine pair
of gold spectacles, valued at about
So Mr.. Schneider soon missed his
"eyes," and, suspecting the umbrella
mender, put Officer Culpepper next to
him.
The officer in a short time located
him and invited him to the police sta
ton. He did not want to go at first,
but was finally prevailed upon to ac-
cept the officers invitation.
AS they went down Second avenue
en- route to the station, Willie leaned
over, ostensibly to expectorate but
his real object was to drop the spec
tacles, which he did. Office Cuii.cn-
per saw through the maneuver. but
walked on several yards, pretending as
if he had not observed Williams ac-
tions. Then he said to Wjl!iea
"Guess you'd better go back and
pick up those spectacles, hadn't you?''
What spectac1es he rejoined
Here be my spectacles in my pocket" )"
Seeing that Willie was from Missouri
the officer had to sight him. and going
back picked up the speectacles from
the ground where Willie had dropped
them
The umbrella mender was then
thrown in Jail, where he was given the
sobriquet of Wee Weary Williams.

INDEPENDENCE URGED
AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY PETIT
TIONs CONGRESS.

BOSTON. Feb. 1.-THE directors Of the
American Peace Society have sent TO
congress the following petition in favor
of the ultimate independence Of the Phil
ippine islands:
The board of directors Of the. Ameri-
can Peace Society respectfully hetition
congress to declare by resolution that the
United States will grant independence to
the Filipinos as soon as they shall estab-
lish and prove their ability to maintain
stable civil government.
I'VE believe that such declaration
similar to that made for Cuba, just prior
to the Spanish war, would meet the ap-
proval of the great majority Of the
American people, would prove to the
world the unselfish purpose of our coun-
try, would restore peace to the Philip
pines at an early day and thus prevent
the further sacrifice of life and property
in what seems likely, under existing con-
ditions, to be an indefinitely protracted
and bitter conflict"
The petition is signed on behalf of the
society by Robert Treat Paine presi-
dent, and DR.. B. T. Trueblood, secretary
