"Tis stbrange We don't hear much
talk about tn Philippeens," said Mr..
Hennessy.
I'VE ought to go to Boston" said Mr..
Dooley. They talk about il there in
their sleep. TIL raison it's not discuss
ed anywhere else is that Everything is
perfectly quite there. We don't talk
about Ohio or Ioway or amy iv our
other POSSESSIONS because theyse nav
thin doin' in thin parts. TIL people
ARE goin' ahead. garnerin' tn prod

so it is in tn Philippians. I know.
rr me frind Gov'nor Taft says so an
tbey'se a man that knows con-tintmint
whin he sees 1t. Ye can't thrust tn

dher tn shade Nv tn cocoanut palm be

They mus be satisfied with our rule.
a man that isn't satisfied whin he's
had enough is a glutton. They're sat-l
they're acquirin' that love f'r tn COVER
mint that floats over thin that will
make thin good citizens without vote

Gov'nor Taft says so.

jools in tn diadem iv our fair nation.
Formerly our fair nation didn't care
fr jOols but done up her hair with side
but she's been abroad some
since an she comes back with beautiful
reddish golden hair that a tiara looks
well in an that is betther fr having Il
tiara. She is not as young as she was.
Tn simple hometown maiden that our

her place we find a Columbya, gintle-
men, with machurer charms, a knowl-
edge Nv Euro-peen customs an not
lverse TO a cigareet. So we have pinned
In her fair hair a diadem that sets off
her beauty to advantage an holds on
tn front iv tn hair an tn mos lovely
pearl in this ornymint is thin sunny
little isles ~ tn Passyfic. They are al
most too sunny fr me. l had to come
