They have condemned and denounced

Lawton was not exempt from their cal

o o extra measures to protect them
selves against the treachery and cruel
ty of the natives, who can blame them?
They knew better than their critics

When the self binder anne, harvesters
thought their occupation gone; but,
instead, new and better occupation
came. This whole development, throw
ing men here and there out of employ
ment for a day furnishes permanently
increased employment for the ever e n

men. and where 4,251, 613 wage earners
were employed in manufacture ten
years ago, nearly 5000. 900 working
men are earning higher wages o in

oppressed labor. 1t has not oppressed
the agriculturalists because American
farmers in the last six years have paid

A very thrilling page in the life's
history of AL. Nelson, a Deming tin
smith, occurred when he was a mere
child and was coming across the ocean
to America with his parents. He was
romping about the deck of the steamer
in boyish glee and accidentally fell
overheard. His mother saw him fall
into the sea and jumped after him. A
sailor Jumped after both of them and
saved the boy but the mother drowned
before the sailor could reach her.

THE Philippine A

With the surrender of Guevarra, in
Samar, the war department officials be-
lieve that the most serious part of the
army's work in the Philippines is over,
unless troubles with the Moros in
crease.
In subduing the Tagalo instruction,
the United States employed 3,477 Off
GERS and 10S 800 men. Fifty officers
and $50 men were killed in action;
twelve officers and 200 men died from
wounds, and 800 officers and 2,100 men
died from disease.
The total number of deaths probably
will reach 5000, as the above official
figures were prepared some time ago.
