the Philippines and the Army here.
In the first plcae the insurrection
seems to be gradually dying out.
Outside Of q few of the southern is-
lands, among there the now famous lli
samar, and. Leyte and the Province
of Batangas, Tayabas and the Sauna
srriuess Luzon there is practically no
trouble. Malnar is holding out in
southern Luzon; Lukban is the
Filipino luminary in Samar and
Leyte. They wage guerilla ware
fare; attaching only when they are
vastly superior in number to the

few rifles are in their possession,
and many bolos. Several hundred

substitute. There is no return of
money to the company fund; no
reading room, no restaurant, no pool
room, nowhere to while away an
hour. The money in nine cases out
of ten goes to help carry on the in
surrection and the American soldier
must do more guard duty, more
hiking. and more good hard work,
just because he had spent his money
and tried to kill thought and drive
away care for a time.
A soldier who is a drinking man
in civil life will drink when in the
army. The army is made of Of
civilians now, just such as you and
I and if you take one hundred aver
age civilians how many don't use
liquor2 Lucky Of you find one.
The army is the same. They will
drink, SO is it not better to give it
to them under. restriction. where
they are not PERMITTED to use too
much and where they get some re-
turn than to send them to the low
dives and brothels to have on
gloroious debauch, ruin health,
morals, principles, and name among
the vile associates whom they find
there, and then return to camp to
spend few days in STRENGTHENING up,
and then get a court martial,a fine,
a few days in the guard house and a
ruined military record.
When commenced this letter I
did not intend to end with the
''canteen"; but asI was writing
received a letter informing me that
= dear and valued friend-a well
educated, cultured, young man who

wearing her life away. Her modiste is

so on through the currents that wend

Envy, too, plays star role in the i'm
agiaings of her distorted brain She
sees Mrs. Solid Comfort looking so ra-

Then she inaugurates course of COM
parison, and when a woman contracts
the comparison habit, she can bid a
fearful farewell to her peace of mind.
She compares everything through a
bilious. melancholic magnifying lens,
until she fancies herself the most ter
ribly abused and unfortunate woman in
the gloomy old world. She looks at Mrs
Solid Comforts husband, and wonders
why she did not marry that kind of
man. She sees Mrs. Happy Mother
laughing at the antics of her little brood
and wonders why she should have been
punished with lot of dyspeptic young
ones. She sees Mrs. Latest Fad dressed

Meade, the famous thor
oughb-ed racing farm near
Nashville, from active life, one of the
last type of the old ante-bellum South
goes from view. General Jackson is
still vigorous mentally. but his health.
once SO robust, has gone from hin. and
he will within few weeks offer for
sale every thoroughbred stallion, brood
mare. and colt on his place.
Belle Meade is historic Under its

and men OF affairs have talked, and from
its fields and paddocks have gone queens
and kings of the American turf. Be-
meath its grass are inferred the bones
of the great Iroquois, the only Amer
tcan horse that ever won the English
Derby, and on the running of the get
of its paddocks hundreds of thousands
Of spectators have thrilled. and hun

Of dollars have been wagcred.
A Type of Old South.
Belle Meade is one OF the few remain
hog types Of the old time Southern plan

rapidly cutting them up-with its great
house. its quarters. its ''old Marster,.

great show places of the South. and no
