Address by Gen. c. A. Woodruff.

Gen. Charles A. Woodruff, U. S. A.,
retii ed, gave fine address in Athenaum
Hall Monday evening under the auspices
of the history and travel committee of
the Woman's Club. The speaker was
gracefully introduced by Mrs. J. M.
Cady, chairman of the committee, and
held the closest attention of a crowded
house for the next hour. he called the
islands the land of perpetual perspiration
and said the characters les OF the people
would puzzle any Yankee. They were
kind to their family, of loving nature,
and yet cruel as barharians to their foes.
Their lie has not been such as to fit
them for self government and suffrage
has no meaning to them. He spoke in
terestingly of his work as commissary
general, when during his two years term
of service $13 $50, 600 worth of supplies
were distributed to the soldiers and civil
ians at 557 different posts in the Philip
pines and China. He described at length
the water cure, said it was given only to
elicit information about the enemy and
to prevent the assassination of the Amer
lean soldier. He said it did not really
hurt the applicant and that most any
one oil his hearers would have used it
under similar circumstances. He paid
his respects to Aguinaldo whom he said
was a coward, liar, vain and con
ceited man. whose grandmother was a
concubine OF Chinese cooley. In closing
he paid glowing tribute to the Amer-
can soldier in the Philippines and said the
recent war was the most humane in
history

They Missed the Calf.

Two of our local nimrods from Fair
banks shops armed to the teeth thought
they would do little deer hunting, so
one day last week they drove up into
Kirby and proceeded to scour the noun

a big fresh track in back pasture and
at once they were all attention for the
track savored big buck. After trailing
the track up the mountain and then
down, across and back, a poor scraggy
wild heiter was seen retreating into g
thicket. A half day was wasted on thu
heifer so they decided to go home ant
keep their exploit as quiet as possible.

for their excessive fumbling OF the ball.
Nearly all OF the game the ball was near
the centre of the field, first one team
holding the other for downs and then
the other. For st. ]. A., Tierney played
good game, getting in several good
runs while Gerrish was the star for the
visitors
