Some favor this and some choose that,
But when the goddess gay l WOO,
or all the sports she offers me,
l choose the game of peek-a-boO.
The game is Old-that III admit
And many newer ones await
But peek-a-boo. unto my mind.
Can never happen out of date.
No sport can cause the pure delight
And thrill the young heart through and
through
AS can the ancient merry game
We all have played. called peek-a-boo.
How trif1ing seem concerns Of life
The grave events that weight the mind;
How light the burdens that are ours,
How weak the chains of.care that lind,
When happy rings baby voice.
When pleasure lights sweet eyes Of
blue.
Indeed, of all Pleasures gifts,
None match the game of peek-a-boo.
I'd rather have within my heart
The mcm'ry of baby face
With those sweet lines of mcrriment
That silly game can thereon trace,
Than dip deep in the rarest sport
OF carnival or giddy ball,
OF gala-day or festival,
For peck-a-boo outstrips them all.
Sweet Pleasure chooses many ways
To tempt the soul to languishmcnt.
A multitude the open roads
To those on recreation bent;
But give to me the music rare
The happy laughter, sweet voiced coo,
That thrills my heart whene'er play
That ancient game of peek "a boo.

LET US LEARN FROM HISTORY.

At the Manhattan dinner on Saturday
night Justice Charles II. TruaS. presi-
dent of the club. made an address OF
welcome, in which he said: IF there
is one thing that has been settled in this
country it is that the American flag shall
float ever free men and rot over slaves.
Now, it may be asked, what shall be
done with the Philippines? Mako them
friends"
That is good doctrine, but it must be
taken with care. 1t is all right TO make
the Fiipino3 free men. but, in all kind
ness. we must exercise a certain control
and guardianship over them until they
have shown themselves to be capable of
self-govcrnment. Let the Government
not make the mistake here that it made
when it set the. negro slaves free. 1t
not Only made them free, but it clothed
them at once with all the rights OF cit
izenship Was that an act OF kindness
to the black man? Let history answer.
1t was the worst thing, as it turned out,
that the Government could have done for
him. 1t proved to be curse instead
of blessing.
Let the Government be careful not to
make the same error in dealing with the
1silpinos, who for so many years were
under bondage to Spain.

turers in Great Britain, will be in this

This latest visit by Mr.. Gallaher Is in

to this country, where he has several
factories. 1t is especially interesting To-
cally in view of the fact that Mr.. Gala
her will doubtless while here, make some
decision with reference to his REMINDING
establishment in this city. The building
rented by him was bought some time ago
by Mr. Butler, and Mr.. Gallaher will have
to move very shortly. He will either build
himself, hunt up other quarters, or close
up the place.

A CELEBRATED CASE.

We are not disposed to make any apollo

THE TER. CENTENARY BILL.

It was certainly surprise that the
House Committee. by such a very large
majority. voted TO recommend the Norfolk
bill. which gives tho incorporates the
exclusive right to hold an Exposition in
1t17 in commemoration of the founding
OF jamestown, three hundred years ago.
While we favored the Pollard bill, which
placed the management Of this celebra-
ton, exposition, or whatever it may be,
in the hands of a commission represent
fng the whole State. we thought that the
argument before the committee strongly
preponderated in favor of this view.
The celebration should boz a State at
fair. and il The State determines to carry
It out through the medium Of a corpora
ton the control Of that corporation should
be in the hands of people who VIII rep
resent Virginia, and there should be fu!i
insurance that the management Will DC,
with due regard to what is best for the
State and not be circumscrlbed by the
interests of any special locality.
Moreover. as the case now stands, If the
recommendation OF the House Committee
is adopted by the Legislature. any failure
on the part of tho incorporators to raise
the money which they propose will not
only destroy their own scheme, but will
ieopardiZe the arrangements which could
,tow be made reasonably and properly for
the commemoraton of 1907. The Legisla-
1,;re will take great risk TO Place any
pIan for the celebration in 1907 in the
hands of any corporation whose inter-
csts are ayowedly localized, and not. ex-
ccpt by an insufficient aftcrthought. made
sepres entative of the State at all. 1t is
true a committee IS added TO be appointed
by the Governor, which will represent the
State as an adjunct Of the scheme oitNo or
FOLK and Newport News. But the State
will be entirely secondary, and the main
character of the enterprise will still be
sn the hands Of the present promoters.
We believe that any plan for tho com
snemoration OF 1907 yet suggested may
prove to be crude and unsatisfactory
,utpor further reflection. and that Il wise
s,lan is to appoint a commission repre-
senting the whole State to take the nat
ter under advisement, which will be
n body representative Of the whole State
of Virginia and in a position to make ap-
1,eals. not merely TO other States. but to
Congress, to join in this great event. AS
il is now, the present plan is recognized
as an earnest effort on the part OF certain
business men in Norfolk and Newport
News to boom that locality. There can
be no doubt that the most important fac
tor in the celebration of 1907 would be
Hampton Roads and its adjacent cities.
l3ut that it should be- exclusive and that
The enterprise should be put in the hands
of individuals who would turn 1t to mere
business account, does not seem to us to
he appropriate to the dignity Of the DC
casion or just 20 the rest of the State.
