The Candid PeDye,

No man has ever yet succeeded IN
painting an honest portrait Of himself
in an autobiography however sedu-
lousy he may have set to work about
it. In spite of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds su-
help draping his thought, and the least
shred of drapery DISCUSSES it. 1t is
only the diarist who accomplishes the
feat of self portraiture, and he. without
any such end in view, docs 1t uncOn-
sciousy. A man cannot keep Il daily
record of his comings and goinES and
the little items that make UP tie sum
Of his life and not inadvertently give
himself aN9y at ever t"rn, He lays
bare his heart with Il "t,iii3r not posi-
BILE to the self consciousness that in
evitaby colors premeditate revelation.
Unknowingly he wears his heart upon
his pen for DAVIS TO peck at. While
Mr.. Samuel Pepys was filling those
small octave pages with his perplexing
cipher he never once imagined that he
was adding Photographic portrait of
himself to the worlds gallery Of i'm.
mortals. We are more intimately &C.
quainted with Mr. Samuel Pepys, the
inner man-his little meannesses and
his enerosities-than we are with half
the persons We call eur dear frteads.-

PHILIPPINES QUESTION.
Gov. Taft Says the Religious Scots Tn the Islands Are Unfriend-
 ly to One Another.
REFERRED 10 ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.
sueaLfnG of the Naiolos Constitu- lions the Governor Said Few of the Natives Knew Any Thing about It-Hestrictions Placed On the Newspaper Press.

Waohingt on, Feb. 20.-Nmong other questions pertaining to the Philip pines discussed by Gov. Taft. Wednes- day. in his testimony before the sen ate committee on the Philippines, was the attitude of the different re ligious seCts toward one another. He said that. generally. the relationship is unfriendly, and that evangelical churches are seeking to secure q foothold in the islands. He also re- ferred to the ccclesiasticai courts. saving that under the Spanish rule the members of the religious orders could elect to have civil cases in which they were concerned tried In those courts rather than in the regular tribunals.
 In reply to questions he said that from twenty-five to fifty persons had been deported from the Philippines. and they were all sent to Guam hy the military authorities because they gre considered irreconcilables whose presence is injurious He said. in re- ply to Senator Allison. that so far as the Philippine advocates of inde- pendcnce had expressed themselves all of them desired that the United States should continue it's protection of the islands: in other words. they wanted independence with q United States prOtectOrate.
 The witness was asked great number of uucSt StionS abouf the Naf9- los constitution. He said that the convention which adopted it had been made up largely of residents of Ma nila, although designated by Aeuinal- do to represent the various prov inces. Comparatively few of the Filf- pinos, he said, are familiar with the constitution of the United States. an l he did not believe that Aguinaldo is among those who have this familiari- ty.
 Gov Taft also gave information concerning the newspaper press ef the Philippines. Are the news papers there at liberty to advocate the inde- pendence of the islands," asked Sen ator Culberson.
 They are under the restrictions imposed by the statutes which We discussed yesterday. just as others are the witness responded.
 Therefore, they are prohibited from such course 9"

Peru-na is known from the Allan tic to the Pacific. Letters of con graduation and commendation testi- lying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hart man is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk. the editor, the statesman, the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrun, recognizing catarrh as their great est enemy, are especially enthusias- tic in their praise and testimony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh uni versal; almost omnipresent. Peru ma is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca tarrh, but prevents. Every house. hold should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.

 Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds. and it proved to be an excellent remedy. l have not bad occasion to use 1t for other ailments. Yours very truly. w. NJ. Lord. It will be noticed that the Gov ernor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia grippe. and other climatic affections of winter. and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a cc-,y of Dr. Hartman's free book. entitled Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus. Ohio.
