in carousal on the dancing floor has no
clear mind the following day, as she is
continually thinking Of what happened
the preceding night and sometimes
makes serious mistakes In her work.
Second-The lateness of the hour
when they leave home to go to nearby
towns till they reach home again does
not allow them their proper rest and
makes them unfit for the next days
work, physically as well as mentally.
Third-The continual use of the Of
fee phone to make arrangements for
socIables and balls is very annoying to
an employer, especially when it hap
pens that people are to be waited on
thereby delaying them and making a
bad impression on the customers.
fOufth-It has been stated that dur
ing the intermission Of the schools
places of low rerute are often visited
by young girls, enticed there by young
men of low character or by strangers
who claim TO be single, when in reality
they are married men, having wives
and children at home.
Fifth-Owing to the associations thus
formed 1t Is impossible to interest them
in any kind of work OF confidential
nature, as it Is Impossible for them to
keep 1t to themselves.

Next day Diablo was missing. He
was hunted for for miles about, but
unsuccessfully. The search was
abandoned in the afternoon on orders
that every man prepare himself for

In half an hour they struck the river

the interior. The ground rose and be-

man lay down. Only the colonel and

It was all over in no time-ten in

not until it was rumored that the in
surgent guerrilla leader, Tino. was
coming down from the north that the
monotony of the tedious garrison life
was broken.
Then began the hikes into the
neighboring hills. Several times the
boys had slight skirmishes with Tino 9

One evening the officers were gath

in and silently delivered a letter to the
colonel himself. He opened it, read
it, and then hastily eXcusing himself
rose and left the room. 1t was quite
dark as he made his way across the
plaza and entered the house of local
merchant, a rich mestizo known to be
favorable to the American cause for
business reasons.
The colonel was met at the door
by the mestizo himself, who conducted
him into a rear room of the house

paper before the colonel on a small

them to raise their heads. In the rear

DEATH REVEALS THE
MARRIAGE OF TEACHER
SchooIna'am Keeps Secret for II Years
That She Might Continue Work.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May Is
Married nearly eleven years ago,
though living all the while as a single
woman, that she might follow her pro-
fession as school teacher, the ro-
nance in the life Of Clara Grissim was
revealed by death.
Clara Grissim was a teacher in the
Alexander Adaire public school, at Al
mer and Thompson streets. for twelve
years. To her friends and all her rela-
tives the young woman was heart and
fancy free. She was quietly married
to Mr.. Smith. who is an engineer, in
1898, at Lancaster, and but one or
two persons were aware of the secret.
Mrs. Smith, or Miss Grissim, as she
preferred to be known, did not wish
to give up teaching. and fearing that
complications might follow the an
nouncement of her marriage. it was
never made public. Husband and
wife lived in the sane house, but they
were apparently only the best of
friends.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-29

quarters, but toward the rest of the
men, including the colonel, who some
times came up from -Vigan, Diablo's
attitude was one of contemptuous
federation. If he met them III the mar
row streets he gave them just one
half of the right of way-not an inch
more.
Diablo's attitude toward women was
peculiar. 1t was fact that any hui
man figure above a. certain age that
wore skirts was an object to be ac-
lively avoided. The coIonePs wife
came up from Vigan several times,
and at once made overtures Of friend
ship to Diablo, but with calm dignity
he refused to meet her advances He
showed no less aversion toward the
native women. If he met them in the
street he carefully stepped aside with
chilly politeness and allowed them
to pass.
But strange to say, when it came to
children, his prejudices underwent a
complete reversion. Small boys he
could not endure. Little girls needed
no introductions to become his
friends; for them he even showed a
marked fondness. They might pull
his beard or pinch his ribs or even
crawl upon his back, and he tolerated
all with patience simply astounding
in one of his otherwise hasty tempera-
ment. Bananas or turnips from their
hands were especially delicious. To-
ward all of them he was distinctly
paternal. 1t was the one soft spot In
his world hardened character.
Little Mercedes, the daughter of a
local tobacco merchant was once lost
for whole day. The surrounding
jungles were searched by American
soldiers and natives for many hours
until near sunset, when she was found
some distance UP the mountain, max
ing faces and calling names to the
nervous little jungle monkeys. Had
she been alone she might have been in
some danger, but Diablo was found pa
tiently watching her from under a
nearby mango tree. He had followed
and kept his eye on her the whole day,
and when they found her, he abruptly
left and trotted back to town.
Thus months passed, and, except for
a few lively encounters with various
men, both Filipinos and Americans,

peace offering. Later he came over to
the barracks and mingled with the
men, and while some were for retriev-
ing the defeat of the day before, the
majority were glad to accept the truce
that Diablo offered.
Thus their acquaintance began. DI-
ablo saw that these men in brown uni
forms were not such bad fellows after
all, and accepted their presence with
philosophical equanimity not to be dis
turbed by further serious strife. 1t
is to be suspected that his combatiye-
ness of the first day was prompted as
much by desire for personal glory
as by patriotic motives, for now that
he was accorded all the respect due to
a warrior of his caliber, he seemed to
think no more of his fighting COM
patriots in the nearby hills.
Not long after this the native fami-
lies Of San Ramon began to return
to their deserted homes, bringing
with them their household goods.
They, too, were beginning to learn
that the Yankees were pretty decent
fellows, and comparatively harmless,
except in fight. Perhaps Diablo would
have removed even this latter qualifi-
cation, but then he could judge only
by his own one experience. He had
won where others had lost.
The Americans learned something
of Diablo's antecedents from the re-
turning natives. He had been brought
there by a company of insurgent regu-
lars from the Tagalog country as a
mascot. He had always been on fair
ly good terms with them, except that
he occasionally displayed a very hasty
temper when offended He had strong
likes and dislikes, and his dislikes usu-
ally outnumbered his likes. The red
trousers Of the insurgent cavalry uni
form were especially diStasteful to his
esthetfc sense. There had been only
one cavalry officer in San Ramon in
those days, a Col. Lala, who was there
on some vague mission for the Tarlac
government, and he, or his trousers,
became the object of Diablo's bitterest
animosity. Whenever the colonel ap-
peared in the plaza. Diablo's most in
innate friends could not hold him back
and the colonel found it safer to keep
indoors. He openly advocated death
for the goat, but the discipline Of the
was then too loose to permit of such
faults, the Tagalog regulars still had
a genuine regard for their camp fol-
lower. That he had not been taken
along in the retreat showed only how
hard pressed they had been.
AS time passed on Diablo became
apparently as used to his white asso-
ciates as he had been to the brown. He
formed a rather intimate friendship
with the first sergeant who had been
the object of his special animosity
the first day. Him he would some
times honor with a formal visit at

The judge said a wife had a right to
expect love making and caresses from

separation.

Many KenOsha County Justices oil the
Peace Fail to File AcCeptances
Of Office.
LIST GETTING SHORTER ANNUALLY
Dockets of Many of the Courts Are Not
Being Kept Up and Some of Them
May BE Lost Long Ago.

The title of Judge" evidently does
not appeal to many of the citizens of
kenosha county, and this fact is
shown by the condition of the records
IN the officesof the clerk of the Circuit
court. Each town in the county is
allowed four Justices of the Peace by
law, but only eight justices elect have
filed their acceptances and oaths of
office and the remaining places must
by forcekbe left vacant. The law pro-
vides that these acceptances must be
filed by the first week in May and
when the clerk of the court closed I'D
the books this morning there were
still many vacancies. Not one of the
duly elected justices of the town of
Brighton has qualified for the office
and the people of that town having
litigation of a minor nature will be
forced to go to some other town in
order to find place for trial. None
Of thesjustices elected in the town of
Pleasant Prairie have qualified but
there are two justices in that town
holding over so that there will be
plenty of courts to try the cases in
the town.
The justices who have filed their
official oaths are George B. McCar-
ron, of Kenosha; r. B. Roberts, of the
town of Bristol; VIM. A. McKesson, of
the town of Randall; H. T. Hoffner,
of the town of Wheat1and; w. J.
Rhodes, of the town of Somers; John
Button, of Salem; K. K. Cass, of Sa-
lem; and Henry Blum of Salem.
Each of these judges of the lower
court will hold office for a term of
two years.
Justices in the rural districts in the
county claim that the work in the
offices does not warrant the time that
must be given up, and the positions
have usually gone begging. This
year, however, the list of those who
have qualified is shorter than in any
previous year.
This falling off in the number of
justices qualifying for office has
