Quoting the services. Mrs. Cheney

ST. PAUL.

Rev. J. F. Stout, presiding elder
of the Winona district, reports that
Rev. Edgar Teachout is very sue
cessful as a pastor.
Henry S. Baker filled the pulpit
of the first M. E. church Sunday
morning in the absence of the pastor
at a meeting of Methodist preachers
in the east to consider the consolida-
ton of the church benevolences into
one or two collections. The plan
was referred to a committee of legal
talent who will report upon the nee
essary formalities according to law.
Frank M. Nye was one of the at
torneys who defended Chief Fred
Ames of Minneapolis, on trial for
bribery, and he was first to be &C
quilted. He will, however, soon
meet other charges.
At the National Educational Asso-
GALLON, recently held in Minneapolis,
several familiar faces not often seen
in that city were noted. w. d.
Parker was present and is widely
known among educators. Will
Hickok, formerly of Clifton and now
teaching in southern Wisconsin, met
the writer with his old-time smile,
with true, honest heart behind it.
He was the guest of John Ives of
St. P aul during his stay. Miss Allen,
formerly of the Normal now a prin-
cipal in Minneapolis, was one desig-
mated by the Teachers Federation
to make visitors to sessions in the
East Side high school feel at home.
Mrs. H. n. Smell, nee Lillian Cald-
we'll, now a teacher in GAINESVILLE,
Mimi, and at one time a frequent
visitor in Kinnickinnic, was in faith
full attendance. Miss Jennie Nero
of Diamond Bluff met us several
times with her genial dignity. The
most striking feature was the address
of DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler in
which he advocated the use of the
Bible in the public schools and col
leges as piece of literature worthy
of as careful study as Lowell and
Shakespeare. 1t received much at
tention by the press and thoughtful
attention by the hearers. The best
thought of the country is working
at the problem. The association
asked that the commissioner of edu-
cation be made member of the cab
met. c. H, Keyes, formerly of
River Falls, was present and was,
we believe, treasurer of the Associa-
ton. A National Federation of
Grade Teachers was organized and
Miss Maude K. Clum of the Jeffer-
son school St. Paul was made first
vice president and to her all north
western teachers in graded schools
may write for information in regard
to the organization.

Licking Her stamps.

We find the following anecdotes in a
Naples paper: "At the postoffice yes
terday, amid the large crowd gathered
around the window, was young Eng
lish lady, handsome, well dressed and
accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had just purchased some stamps
and was about to affix them to num-
Der Of letters which she held In her
hand. Delicately tearing off stamp,
she said to her maid, Pull (sic) out
your tongue And the maid, with Eng
lish impassivity, thrust forth her
tongue, while the mistress passed over
it a postage stamp, which she subse-
quently stuck on a letter. She went
through the entire package of letters,
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curl
GUS manners these English people
have"

Petroleum is so abundant and
cheap that it is coming into use as
a means of allaying dust on high
WAYS. 1t has been in use on some
railways for ten or twelve years.
More recently it has been tried as
an experiment on wagon roads, not
ably in California, where dust is a
great annoyance. In California the
oil is sprinkled on the thorough
fares when it is heated as hot as it
is safe TO handle it, in which case
it is thin and may be sprinkled on
the ground sparsely but at the same
time covering the ground thorough
". The city of Red1ands in Cali
fornia has fifteen miles of it's streets
sprink1ed with petroleum and they
are free from rising dust. Three
treatments a year are sufficient to
keep the roads free from dust. The
oil has the effect to make the track
hard and to preserve it in a good
condition. The oil, while it hardens
the track, keeps out the rain, pre-
vents washing and muddy roads
following a rain,

The loss of many horses last
year from the excessive heat brought
into practice a venture of some
covering for the head of the horse.
This was followed by the manufac-
ture and sale of horse millinery, a
sort of hat or bonnet made of straw
or some other light material to fit
on the head of the animal with holes
for his ears. These are likely to
become common if it is proved that
they are of any benefit.

Diary of Aguinaldo's Hike.

The government has published
diary of the flight of Aguinaldo in
his attempt to evade the American
forces. 1t was written by Simeon
A. Villa, member of his staff, and
contains daily narrative of events
experienced by Aguinaldo and his
party from the day of his flight from
Bayambong to his capture by Fun
ston at Palanan.
The first entry in the diary is
made Nov. 13, 1899, when the party
left Bayambong in the night by
special train for Calasiao, whence
they left the railway and struck off
into the mountains. The narrative
ends abruptly with the last entry
made March %, 1901, at Palanan.
On the next day, March e, Gen.
Funston, with handful Of men, sur
prised and captured the party in the
mountains near Palanan on the
northeast coast of Luzon.
This diary constitutes a remark
able and interesting narrative of adj
venture, hardships endured, suffer
ings, and numerous instances of mar
row escapes. The party travelled
by most unfrequented routes, always
among mountains and often retrac
ing their steps and doubling on their
tracks to throw their pursuers of their
trail. Sometimes Aguinaldo had but a
dozen followers. At no time did he
have sufficient number of armed
men to make a stand against the
small parties on his trail except once
when he succeeded in killing two
American soldiers out Of a party of
ten, and these were ambushed. On
several occasions the mountains in
which Aguinaldo and his party were
hiding was entirely surrounded by
the Americans, escape seemed i'm
possible and they were on the point
of surrender, when by hiding in the
thickets until after dark they would
slip through the Gordon of their pur-
suers unnoticed and keep up the hike
nights, hiding in the brush by
day. On many occasions they were
reduced to eating roots and ten
der shoots of plants. For days they
would have no food at all. Ere
quently they lived on sugar cane.
Aguinaldo, early in his flight aban-
doned his wife and mother to fall as
prisoners into the hands of the sol
diers. All the party seemed to re-
alize the hoplessness of a successful
flight, but persisted with the forlorn
expectation that other nations might
intervene and and give the Filipinos
independence. The party never re-
manned but few days in one place
never in a town over night unless
they knew they were at least twenty
four hours in advance of the Ameri-
can soldiers. Occasionally, if a town
was situated near the mountains, they
would visit it during the day in the
absence of our soldiers, retiring into
the mountains at night. On some
occasions they visited towns by night
in which the Americans were sta
toned. Except when they were
wandering among the high noun
tains Of the country of the Cigarettes
they were among friends, but in nc
instance could they rally corporal's
guard to fight our soldiers. The
whole narrative gives one to see that
the American forces had, and could
hav e, no serious organized resistance
in the Philippines.

Needs Attention.

The city has a street commits
sioner and a weed commissioner,
each of which has certain specified
duties to perform. Why should not
the trees on the streets have some
attention, either by commissioner
appointed for the purpose or by the
owners of adjoining lands? They
need it. A few days ago a large dry
limb fell from one of the big trees
on Maple street and came near
striking some people who were pass
ing along on the sidewalk. Inves-
tigation showed that there were
many dead limbs in the trees, ready
to drop when a heavy wind should
shake the tree. Whose business is
this? 1t is hoped this matter will
be attended to. x#
