A SWEET FILIPINO GIRL.

Pennsylvania Congressman.

Representative Green, of Pennsylva-

of his experiences in the Philippines,

pretty native woman stood behind the
window sill. used MS IL counter.
In my very best Spanish l asked

offered her n cigarette. L never

cousins She told me that smoking
waa not n common practice among the
better classes of Filipinos, and that her
father especially did not approve of
his daughters smoking, and we al
ways Sne auueu, ODey our pareutS.
According to Mr.. Green, the girl
criticised the American bands because,
while they played good music, they
rarely played well. An impromptu
concert was arranged, In which the
performers were the girl, her niece, a
girl of 10, and her cousin, aged 8, and
the audience included Senator Bacon
and Representatives Jack, Mercer, De-
Almond and Green. The girls sang

ORGANIZED "INFERNo CLUB"
Statesmen at Washington Form
Uniuue Assembaqe.


Senator Depew, Senator Burrows
and a number of other statesmen who
like to have a good time have organ
lied the Inferno club" 1t meets
daily in the restaurant at noon and its
sessions are described as hair raising.
The organization is an outgrowth of
the debate on the Philippine bill. The
members of the club say they have
heard such horribly narrowing stories
of the atrocities committed by the
American soldiers told by the oppon-
ents of the measure that they secure
no satisfaction in the articles printed
in newspapers because they are SO un-
exciting and dull. so the club was
formed in order to supply this def
cheney. Each day some member of
the club tells a blood-and-thunder
story, which he dresses up in the
fiercest language at his command.
Senator Depew so far bears the palm.
as he related to the members the mar
rative of a railroad ride during which
took place a robbery. murder, a sui
eide and a wreck. Innumerable peo-
pie were killed and there was more
blood shed than has been shed In the
Samar campaign.

Senator Depew is rapidly acquiring
the automobile face. He went spin
ming up the avenue to the capitol yes

with Mrs. Depew. but it was plain to
see that he did not like his position of
chauffeur any too well. He had many
narrow escapes from street cars and
vehicles and his phiz wore sort of
well. what's going to happen next?"
look. Mr.. Depew is nevertheless
confirmed automobilist. So deeply
does the horseles carriage idea perme-
ate him that the other day In discuss
ing the omnibus claims bill he refer
red to 1t as the automobile claims
bill. When his attention was called
to the slip he replied: only an ante
diluvian would call it an omnibus bill
in these days of improved vehicles.

What She Would Say.

They were seated on the sofa in the
parlor. His false, curling mustache
was very near to the painted roses
on her cheeks. He was doubtful,
after all, whether Notwithstanding the
innunerable vows of undying devo-
ton that had passed between them. he
really loved her with the twenty-five
carat. ten-ton power that he ought to.
If he was to regard her as his future
wife, and he wondered how he could
break the news gently. So in very
low voice he said:
What would you say, darling II I
should tell you that you can never be
mine:"
Il should say, pet" she answered,
that I've got nice bundle of your
letters that would help to make 1t
expensive for you"

America is the land Of nervous
women. The great ma ajority of nervous
women are SO because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
BY far the greatest number OF female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble is
so common. so prevalent, that they ac-
cept it as almost inevitable. The great
est obstacle in the way Of recovery is
that they do not understand that it is
catarrh which is the source of their
illness In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out of one hundred are moth
ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh

The Coming Man.

Professor Brunor makes startling
prediction as to human development.
He sees in the future man n being in
whom strange transformations shall
have taken place; being in whom
brain is master, ruling body much
larger than that of the present man;
n body which has lost its floating ribs,
its vermiform appendix and its little
toes, and in which many other changes
have taken place. He believes the
chest and upper and lower limbs will
be much larger and that the future
man will be much taller than his proto-
type of to-day.-London Globe.
