Mr.. Rowser was hopping mad in a
minute, and he put down basket and
spade with the idea of punching the
mans head Then he suddenly realized
that it was all Mrs. Bowser's fault and
that he'd make her pay for it when he
got home, and he picked up his utensils
and journeyed on. Spring was certain
~ at hand. He saw robins fitting,
and he found mudholes twenty feet
across. He saw lambs frisking and fell
off q fence and split his coat up the
back. The buds were bursting into
blossom and the meadows taking on
vivid green, but these things were
somewhat offset by an old one horned
COW running him along the highway
for a quarter of mile and splashing
him with mud from head to heel. 1t
was only after an hours walk that Mr..
Bowser gained the primeval forest. 1t
was primeval because there was as
much as three acres of 1t, and the
acres were under mortgage altogether
and under water to large extent.
However, it was in the primeval forest
that he. used to dig roots when he was
bounding boy, and he looked around
him with expectancy. The mud dried
on his eyebrows and the water squash
ed out of his shoes as he searched
around, but he didn't permit those
trif1ing incidents to interrupt the har
mony Of the occasion. 1t was only
when he paused before milkweed
plant that was getting ready for a
spring boom that he began to doubt his
knowledge of rootology. He was dig
ging it up to see whether it was sarsa-
parilla or sweet flag when the old
farmer who owned the primeval, sub
ject to mortgage came that way look
ing for stray hog.
"What We lookin' for?' he queried,
with suspicion in his tones.
Roots" brusquely replied Mr.. Bow
ser-"roots to make a spring beer for
the blood"
"And do We want milkweed and
skunk's cabbage to make yer tonic?
Them's the only kind as grows around
here. Who be ye anyhow"
"My name is Bowser."

he went to the metropolis for the pur-

bearing upon the question of labor or

Manila, July s. - AS a result Of the
proclamation of amnesty July 4 the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where
A~guinaldo lived in Manila and Lieut..
Johnson, A~guinaldo's custodian.
brought the Filipino yesterday to see
Gen. Chaffee. 1t was the first meeting
between the American general and the
leader of the Filipino revolution. Lieut..
William Z. Mckinley of the Ninth cav
airy acted as Interpreter.
Aguinaldo was told that he was free
to go anywhere he pleased, and Gen.
Chaffee asked him If he had any COM
plant to make of American discourte-
Sy or harshness. Aguinaldo replied that
he had no such complaint to make. He
told Gen. Chaffee that he was going TO
visit friends at his home in Cavite
Viejo. in Cavite province, and inquired
what protection the American authori-
ties would afford him. He
seemed to BE Afraid
to venture out. Gen. Chaffee replied
that Aguinaldo would get the same
pr% otection as any other citizen. The
former Filipino leader then asked Gen.
Chaffee to prevent the courts from re-
curing him to testify in civil suits.
Gen.. Chaffee replied that he had nc au-
thority to grant this request and adj
vised A%guinaldo to make a social call
upon Acting Civil Governor Wright
This Aguinaldo said he would do, but
that he would go at night, as he was
timid about appearing on the streets
in daylight.
The release Of the former Filipino
leader has renewed speculation as to
possible vengeance pon him by friends
of Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was a Filipino leader whom Aguinaldo
caused to be killed in 1899.
