4 LITTLE BROWN BROTHER.

One of our little brown brothers has
come to this country and he has not
been received in way to make him I'M
derstand that we are as benevolent as
our assimilation is. p. T. Gilbert, who
is the instructor in English in the
schools of Princeton. Indiana, took a
liking to Filipino boy while in the
Philippines and decided to take him to
Princeton. The lad is twelve years old
and intelligent. When Professor Gill
bert expressed his intention of placing
the lad in the public schools of Prince
ton the color line" was drawn, and the
prejudice against the lad became so
great that the members of the school
board We're forced to call a meeting and
decided against the boy. Professor Gill
bert was much disappointed over the
decision of the board and has sent the
boy to Cincinnati.
This shows what can be done. The
little Filipino will probably grow up to
love and honor the country that assim-
Hated him, but he will have at least one
unpleasant memory.

NOT ENTIRELY HopELE LESS.

We had hoped that if the opportuni-
ties to invest in mines in this country
should peter out, of which there is for
tunately no immediate danger, there
would still be opportunities for invest
ors in mines in our new Philippine pos
sessions. But a statement made by
Henry Gannett of the United States
Geological Survey is not cheering to
would-be promoters and investors. The
mountains of the Philippines, he says,
are filed with prospectors who are
hunting for gold deposits. So far as he
knows not a single strike has been
made. and the early reports about rich
deposits of this metal seem to have no
foundation in sact. The only mineral
deposits that are being worked are some
coal mines in the island of Batan in AL
bay province. They have been leased
by the United States government and
work was recently begun in taking out
CUdl 1UT use OIl Tie tIdAopOI Isl Ills 10
the only mining on any scale that is 60
ing on in the islands. The coal from
Batan is of fairly good quality, and
there are other deposits elsewhere just
as good and even better. There is plen-
ty of iron in the mountain regions, par
ticularly in Cebu. Copper has been
found also in several places but no at
tempts have been made to work any of
the deposits of this material. More
attention has been given to the discov-
cry of gold mines than any other branch
OF the mining industry. but none has
been discovered.
Never mind. 1t doesn't really need
gold to make a gold mine. So perhaps
we shall yet have a chance to get stuck
in the Philippines.

REALLY and orFiosAELY DEAD

REALLY and OFFICIALLY DEAD.
Great is red tape, and a great, display
of it has Just been made by the War
department. The tape was all wound
round a government mule, which was
alive but has been dead some thirteen
months. Just before and for ten years
before he died he browsed around on
Pea Patch island. where he had been
placed by paternal government. He
had grown old, and the commandant of
Fort Delaware. which is on Pea Patch
island, decided to put the mule out of
his misery and ordered the quartermas-
ter to attend to the execution. This
was done. Before long the United
States engineer in charge of the Della
ware river improvements found the
mules name or number on a list Of
the property turned over to him by his
predecessor. AS the mule was by that
time only memory he did not wish
to be responsible for the creature. He
thereforewrote to the Chief of Engineers
at Washington Cor authority to drop
the mule srom his list. With his re-
quest he sent the quartermaster's GER
tificate that the commandant had or
dered the mule to be shot. The Chief
Engineer forwarded this to the Office of
the Secretary of War. Here an i'm
portant omission was discovered. The
record showed only that the mule was
ordered to execution. not that he had
been executed. This would never do,
so the certificate went back to the
Chief of Engineers, from him to the en-
gineer at the Delaware river improve
ments. from him to the quartermaster
vino added this essential line: "Ac-
cordingly the mule was shot and buried
on Pea Patch island" Then it went
to tie Delaware river engineer. to the
Chief Of Engineers. to the Secretary of
War, back to the Chief Of Engineers,
and then for the last time to the Della
ware river engineer, who crossed off the
mule from his books.
The mule is dead but red tape lives,
and seems likely to live forevermore,
world without end. and red tape with
out end.

Generating Humility.

Low in town yard, grassy paved.
A humble dandelion grew.
Above her head tall lilacs waved,
Proud In their plumes of blue,
The dandelion's beaming face =
Was upward turned, yet all In vain,
The lilacs contemplated space
In naughty, cold disdain.
"Ah, well!' the dandelion sighed,
Far rather would / lowly be
Than fiaunt my blossoms high and wide
For all the world to see."
And did a gentle little child
Ignore the lilacs higher claim
And pluck the dandelion mild?
No, reader; not the same. :,
Nor did wicked youngster tear
The lilac bushes with his knife
And leave the dandelion there
To lead the quiet life.
Il
Humble the dandelion lay.
Yelling her face in rerdant screens,
Until man came by that way
And dug her up for green's.
In ostentatious vanity
The lilacs eyermore aspired.
Therein they showed their sanity
And got themselves admired.
All this, dear reader, goes to show
That men don't gain thro' being SWAPS,
We mustn't hold ourselves too low
If we would hold our Jobs.
