"The negroes were the first people
found nthe Philippine islands. They
are the original inhabitants. Then
came the Malay pirates, who drove
them back into the hills, where Phil
ippine negroes now live. The Span
iards conquered the Malays. This
history is merely to show that the
islands are suited to the negro race.

occupied about ten minutes and the
second four, and both were success

third patient, also girl, the great
surgeon finding it advisable to re-
serve himself for other clinical en-
gagements.

He went back to the store still a
little undecided, but the end of it all
was that a great box of the beautiful
Testaments was shipped to Walton
that afternoon, and the name of
Darius Noone was on the cover of the
box in big black letters.
Not single member of the Sunday
school was missing at the tree on
Christmas eve, and the merriest and
most excited child present was not
merrier or more excited than. was the
old cobbler. From all the branches
OF the tree hung the books he had
bought, tied with bright-colored rib.

pretty Christmas card with a Scrip

with laborious effort, written the
name of the person for whom it was
intended on the fy-leaf of each Test
amcnt, and below the name he had
written:
"From
Uncle Darius Noone
in the hope
that
this book will be
the guide of your life
and that you will be true to it's teachings
when the giver is no more
Amen"
Uncle Darius said afterward tha\
it was "worth forty old wooden legs"
to see the pleasure his gifts gave.
There were smiles on all faces, and
the smiles deepened into laughter
when Mr.. Dryden finally stepped
upon the platform and, with a very
funny speech presented the wooden
leg to Darius. The old cobbler re-
sponded in speech that created
shouts of laughter, and he said after
ward to Mr.. Dryden:
'It's the very identical leg picked
out two years ago and then didn't buy,
or one just like it, and it fits to perfec-
tion."

WANT WIDER CHANNEL.
Petition to Be Sent to Secretary of
War;

wal.
A petition asking the Secretary of War
to have the channel over the Mattawoman
flats in the Potomac river widened from
200 to 400 feet has been prepared and will
be presented at the War Department this
evening. The petition states: 1T has been
our understanding that the channel over
the shoals in the Potomac river from In
dian Head to the Kettle Bottoms was to
be made twenty-four feet deep and 400 feet
is to be only 200 feet wide. While the
depth of twentyfour feet is sufficient for
the present traffic on the river, we submit
that the width of 200 feet is entirely in
adequate. We represent the owners and
the operators Of practically all the lines
of steamboats, and tugs and other regular
craft trading on the Potomac, and in our
judgment the channel over the shoals
should be at least 400 to 500 feet wide. This
is especially so of Mattawoman shoals,
where the channel is long and narrow and
difficult to keep the channel in rough or
windy weather. There is also less depth of
water here outside the 2O0-foot channel"
A request Is made that the work of wild
ening the channel be done before the dredg-
ing stops this winter, and If the appropria-
ton Will not allow q channel Of 400 feet, to
give as much width as possible. The mat
ter is one Of much interest to the steam
boat owners and those interest ed in ship
ping, and the petition has received the sig
natures Of all the managers of the steam
boat lines and the business men along the
It has also been indorsed by the Alexan-
dria board Of trade. Every effort will be
made to induce Secretary Root to comply
with the requests made In the paper.

Il used Pane's Celery Compound for an acute

it according to directions, and kept till two
bottles had been used. All trembling, throbbing
and vertigo disappeared the first week. I kept on
with my engagements after that week and gained
all the time. From the start my appetite i'm

An Attractive Poster.

A large poster which has recently ap-
peared on all the prominent bill boards OF
the city in advertisement Of Force" a
new cereal, has attracted an unusual amount
Of attention. At first sight 1t would seem
that the bill poster got the placard mixed
up, for the figure of tramp appears to
have been inadvertently bisected, his legs
being On one section Of the sheet and his
body on another. A great deal Of merri-
ment has been caused by the odd arrange
ment Of the poster. After seeing 1t in the
same condition on all the billboards how
ever, the conclusion is reached that per-
haps the tumble Of the sheets making up
the whole was done by design. Such is
really the case, for the poster has been
put up in this way in every city of over
1900 inhabitants in the United States, Can
ada and England. 1t attracts the same
attention everywhere.
