THE HEART OF THE HILLS.

There's a wonderful country, lying
Far off from the noisy town,
Where the wind-fOwer swings,
And the veery sings
And the tumbling brooks come down
'Tis a land of light and of laughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills:
tbs the land that lies
Meath the summer skies
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road TO that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates of care;
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there;
And voice from that land is calling
In the rush of a thousand rills-
Come away away,
To the woods today,
To the heart of the happy hills"
Far away in that wonderful country,
Where the skies are always blue,
In the shadows cool
BY the foaming pool,
We may put on strength anew;
We may drink from the magic fountains
Where the wine Of life distills;
And never a care
Shall find us there,
In the heart of the happy hills.

FIRST ARGUMENT.

Young Simpkins took his wife north on

day of their departure the nights were

fresh air will feel good. Here! I'll fix
it
She opened once of the windows about
twelve inches.
Simpkins shivered.
Aren't you afraid wen catch our death
of cold?" he observed.
Nonsense, It's splendid for US"
Simpkins went over and moved the
window down little
If you don't mind" he said, I'll close
up little of that"
Simpkins was a crank about fresh air;
so was his wife She liked it. He didn't.
You closed up that window little too
much" said Mrs. Simpkins in = few mo-
ments. 1T is suffocating here
She got up and opened IL
Simpkins got up. too.
My dear he said, gently but firmly.
I'VE are a long way from home. and 1
can't afford to get pneumonia. I'll have to
insist upon closing that window.
But don't you know that it's the bad
air, anu not tnS IfeSn ar mat - iIiJu-
rious?'
Yes, have heard it said so. but don't
believe IL. Nothing can convince me that
a draught blowing on a mans head at
night is a good thing.
He went over and closed the window.
Mrs. Simpkins went over and opened it.
They faced each other in the gloom.
Il didn't suppose you We're such a
crank"
Well. certainly didn't think you were.
If had / wouldn't have married you
Nor | YOU
You cruel, horrid thing
With this Mrs Simpkins burst into
tears. It's bad enough, she sobbed.

wretched anyway. but to have you treat
me like this is"

Darling" he said, overcome with con-
triton, forgive me. I did not mean to
make you unhappy. There! You shall
have the window open as much as you
want I'll risk pneumonia or anything
else rather than TO make you unhappy"
Mrs Simpkins. suddenly returned 10 a
semblance of her normal self by this gen.
erous act on her husbands part, got up
and went over to the window, which she
closed.
NO, dear" she said. you haven't
been used to it and you might take cold.
Besides. l can stand it. 1t was only the
idea after ALL"
But Simpkins. who now felt as gallant

termined as ever.

are used to this, why you must have it.
You wouldn't sleep wink. That win
dow must remain open"
So saying. he strobe manfully over to
the window and opened it once again at
the top and the bottom.
At this moment there was a knock at
the door.
Who is it?" asked Simpkins through
the crack.
And the voice outside replied: Say.
am the man in the next room. I've been
travelling all day and I'm tired to death.
If you people are going to keep opening
and shutting that window all night let
me know now. so l can move before the
dawn breaks. Tom Mason, in New

Progress in the Philippines.

Everybody will admit that Judge Taft, head of the Philippine commis- sion, is a strong and truthful man. He has frequently declared that gratifying progress has been made. and is yet under way. in the Philippine islands. Fir. Luke E. Wright, vlce-president of the commission, is also accepted as an honest and truthful and capable man. and now he comes to the fore with a rosy view OF the Philippine problem. At the McKinleE airtkfay event in Canton, Ohio. on Tuesday night of Iast week, Mir. Wright made this state ment:
 "1--e passlons excited by years of un- rest and insurrection are fast dying away, and I believe 1t is no exaggera- tion to say that the great majority of the Filipino leaders. as well es the masses of the people, who were in op- position to the government, now recog- nize and appreciate the spirit of hu- manity and justice which has charac- terized the American administration of affairs. and are more and more giving it hearty support.
 Officials in the archipelago are Fiji pinos elected by their own people Uni versal suffrage has not been deemed wise, but the right to vote is based upon capacity to speak, read and write the English or Spanish language, or a small property qualification. It will thus be seen that the Filipino people have a large and substantial part in the administration of their own affairs. It ts no reflection, however, upon the Filipino to say that the commission. in my Judgment, has gone as fast and a. far as conditions warrant. To go more rapidly would be to court disaster and failure and would be ruinous."
 These two men are most assuredly prepared to speak with authority re- specting the task in the Philippines. and even the anti-imperialists ought to admit that much beneficial work has been done there. They should also admit that the American method of putting the Filipinos on their feet is

Our Growing Pacific Commer cree.

On the import side also there was an increase in this Pacific commerce from $47 7.0O0. 900 to 5O,OOO, 900.
 This is genuinely significant, dis tinctly encouraging. Europe looks al us chiefly as a producer of crude foods and raw materials. She has not learned to think of America yet as a formida- ble manufacturing competitor. We send to Europe chiefly corn and flour and cattle and dressed meats and hogs
