USE FEW FILIPINO WORDS.
Americans Gain Little in Language
from the Eastern Isles.

from the Eastern Isles.
A letter making inquiry Of Colonel
Edwards, chief Of the bureau of i'll
sular affairs, war department, as to
words grated into the English Ian
guage on account of the American &C.
cupation of the Philippines was turned
over to Captain Taylor, who is an eX-
cellent Spanish scholar and is getting
up the history Of the Philippines from
the public documents captured from
the Filipinos. He made a reply which
indicated that not so many words come
over from the Philippines, although
thousands Of United States soldiers
have spent years in the islands. Prob
ably the Tagalog language and the,
language Of the different tribes do not
impress the Americans who go to the
Philippines.
Spanish is the chief language of the
Philippines, and by the acquisition Of
Florida, New Mexico, Texas and Cali
fornia the United States acquired
about all Of the Spanish terms needed
in the English language to convey the
meaning Of various places and objects.
The English language does not appar-
emily acquire many words from saw
agery. 1t would be pretty hard to
name any words in the English Ian
guage that were acquired from the In
dams Of North America save the
names Of places.
No one knows how many dialects
and different languages are spoken in
the Philippine islands. General An
drew Burt, who spent several years in
the Philippines and served in impor
tant positions, said that oftentimes ho
occupied one point with troops where
one language was spoken, while three
miles away a totally different Ian
guage was spoken, differing apparently
more than languages Of different In
dian tribes In this country. The &C
QUESTION of any Of these tribal Ian
guages outside of the Tagalog was al
most impossible and useless. 1t is ap-
parent that whatever else the Philip
pines contribute they will not enrich
or enlarge the American language.

No matter what you undertake: no
matter what the game, be it love or bust
ness, this advice goes just the same. In
your struggle for position, for happiness
or wealth let these words your motto be:
Rely upon yourself" Then if you
make a ten strike it will be all your own
and if you in the gutter fall you can
wallow there alone.
