that plank in our platform that favOrs
doing for the Filipinos what we have
already done for the Cubans; and
favor making the promise to them now
that we shall take such action as soon
as they are reasonably prepared for it.
If independence, such as the Cubans
enjoy, cannot be prudently granted to
the Filipnos at this time, the promise
that it shall come the moment they
are capable of receiving it will tend to
stimulate rather than hinder their de-
velOpment. And this should be done
not only in justice to the Filipinos,
but to preserve our own rights; for a
free people cannot withhold freedom
from another people and themselves
remain free. The liberation of tyranny
over others will soon breed contempt
for freedom and self-government, and
weaken our power of resistance to in
SidiOus usurpatiOn Of our constitutional
rights
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
The pledge of the platform to secure
to our citizens, without distinction of
race or creed, whether native born or
naturaliZed, at home and abroad, the
equal protection of the laws and the
enjoyment of all the rights and privi-
legeS open to them under the covenants
of our treaties, as their just due, should
be made good to them. In the accom-
plishment of that result it is essential
that passport issued by the Govern
ment of the United States to an Amer
lean citizen shall be accepted the world
over as proof of citizenship.

fend against the spirit of the statute,
but the results achieved, even under

principle of Civil Service reform and
demands its just and impartial en-
forcement.

"No objection to show my face: |
hope we may become better acquaint-

around the big house down there"-he
jerked his head in the direction of
Hawley Park-'all day; / guessed you
might have something to do with the
place"
81 don't see how IL concerns you"
said the other, a little mystifed, "but
it happens hat the place, under better
| circumstances, ought to have been
mine; SOL may be pardoned for TAX
ing some interest in II. My name is
Roger Hawley, if it interests you"
VERY much, SIR replied the other.
"My name, sir, is Owen Jaggard-at
your service. You don't know me-
and I think it's possible | may have
as good a reason for lying low and
keeping quiet as you have
why are you so deeply interested
in Hawley Park as to watch me when

THE lady-Miss Grace Yarwood-
who has fortunately come into posses
sion of il is friend of mine said
owen J~aggard, coolly. That's why
I'm interested in meeting any of what
| might call her relations" He gave a
short, quick little laugh, and went IN:
80 | took the liberty of following you
tonight when you made an excursion
down into what might call the land
of the Egyptians; and there | saw W
more friends of mine"
Il don't see how this interests me-"
said Roger Hawley, carelessly.
ut interests you in this way, that
there seems to be something of a mys-
terry about it. Miss Grace Yarwood
has taken possession of Hawley Park
We'll. | know that. II you're par
ticularly anxious to know, the lady is
my cousin and the property has been
left to her." said Roger Hawley, i'm
patiently.
Your cousin? Advertised for and
only recently found" said Jaggard.
Eyes, that is quite right" replied
the other. why, it seems to me, my
friend. that you know something"
Down in that camp where the gip-
sizes are, tneTc 10 al Olu man anu q
young girl, strayed into the camp to-
night" said Owen Jaggard, in a slow,
tense voice. They haven't a penny in
the world; they're outcasts-about as
low down as people could be. If you
saw the girl, You'd know her among a
hundred; she's tall and fair, with blue
eyes,
Eyes, yes: l saw her." said Hawley.
She came out suddenly when / hap
pened to mention the name of my
cousin"
Not surprising" said the other,
with a little laugh. "Over there is the
great house where your cousin, Miss
Grace Yarwood, is having a good time,
with loads of money to spend; down
there, in the camp of the gipsies, is
another Grace Yarwood-having any
thing but a good time"
Another" cried Roger Hawley, ex-
citedly.
"Yes, there are two of them" said
Owen Jaggard. "It strikes me, Mr..
Roger Hawley, that you and | have

Roger Hawley went striding away
through the darkness with Owen Jag
gard at his heels. For some time they
went on together in silence. Then
Roger slackened his pace to allow the
other man to come up with him; after
that they walked on side by side.
Strange l should meet you like this
tonight" said Roger Hawley. Il am
a man with an axe to grind in this
business; IL 1t wasn't for my easy
temper. you'd see me a man burning
for vengeance and all sorts of horrible
things; instead OF which you see a
man by constitution lazy and by dis

EYES INCREASE in SIZE.
Visual Defects Frequently Neutralize
After Middle Age.

& 10
A conversation with prominent
halter developed the fact that among
men of large affairs where decided
executive ability and strong mental
equipment were requisite, it was com.
mon to find an increase in the cranial
development. A more detailed inves-
tigation among some of the large
metropolitan hatters revealed the fact
that many of them had for years, by
means Of an automatic measuring de-
vice, kept records of peculiarities of
the cranial outline of many of our
prominent men, which had led to the
discovery Ito which, however, little
importance had been attached) that
the skull often shows a decided in
crease in size after middle age.
Thus, If it is fact that the human
eye depends largely upon the sur
rounding bony structure for its size
and proportion, it can readily be seen
that, in the case Of an eye which pre-.
sents abnormal visual conditions, due
to an inadequate development, the in
crease in the size of the skull referred
to, accompanied as it usually is by
generally improved physical condi-
tons, would naturally tend to cor
responding increase in the size Of the
eyeball, thereby contributing to a
possible naturalization of the visual
defect.

Tho Greatest Bicycle Town.

Denver, Col, enjoys the distinction
of having more bicycles in proportion

numbers only 100000 souls within her
city limits, she boasts of not less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike thousands Of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk of life. Bicycles literally oyerrun
things and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost III 900 900 annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact, one company went
into the hands Of a receiver two years
ago. alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired its earning to such an
extent that it could not meet its inter-
est demands. The open weather and
fine natural roads are largely respon.
sibie for the popularity of the wheel,
as 1t is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for o.weeks
out of So and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
