CECRETARY TAFT
- of the War Depart

OF the war Depart
ment was the first
Governor-General of the
Philippine Archipelago.
His administration of
affairs was as successful
as anyone had a right
to expect. The task
which confronted him
was a most difficult one.
1t was the beginning of
the civil control of our
Government over the
Philippines. The natives
had been fighting prac-
tically for a century to
throw off foreign domi-
nation and to establish
an independent govern
ment of their own. 1t
devolved upon Cover
nor-General Taft to re-
concile the natives to
our domination. There
was more or less turbu-
1ence and disorder and
b1oodshed during his
entire term. He gained
the goodwill of the
natives, however, to a
remarkable degree. They
had more confidence in
him than in any other
white man and had come
to look upon him as their
best friend. His motto

duty to give up any such
hopes and to abandon
the idea of self-govern-
ment for all time to
come practically, their
worst fears were con-
firmed. There is no in
timacy and no sympathy
between the Americans
who are in the islands
and the natives. The
daily American news
papers which are pub
lished there do not at
tempt to conceal their
contempt for the natives.
Every issue of their pa
pers shows plainly that
they do not regard them
as a factor in the future
of the country.
The testimony which
the native sugar-planters
gave before our body all
insisted that there should
be free trade between the
islands and the United
States. These sugar
planters also testified
that the scarcity of labor
was a great drawback to
the development of the
sugar-felds. Notwith-
standing the fact that

Effect of Louis PhiIippe's Fall.

One morning toward the end of February,

working hard at my tragedy of Ulrich Won

breathlessly into the room, exclaimingI

down the stairs into the street TO the mar

for all the student societies after their mid
day dinner. Although 1t was still forenoon
the market was already crowded with
young men, talking excitedly. There was
no shouting, no noise, only agitated con-
versation. What did we want there? This
probably no one knew. But since the
French had driven away Louis Philippe
and proclaimed the republic, something OF
course, must happen here, too. Some OF
the students had brought their rapiers

Creeks Medicine Man.

From the Indian journal.
The medicine man of the Creeks will not
eat anything scorched in cooking. In treat
ing a gun or arrow shot wound he, as well
as the patient, will fast four days. only
drinking little Cruel.
He will not allow q woman TO look at his
patient until he Is well or dead. If his pa
tient dies the medicine man takes lot of
medicine himself in order to cleanse himself
from the fumes or odor of the dead The
pallbearers, as We might call those assisting
in the burial, also take the same cleansing
process
And again, when an Indian committed
murder, even in self-defense he went to the
medicine man and took the cleansing rem
edy, claiming the remedy appeased the
crime and the trouble to his mind.
At the full of each moon 1t was the Gus
tom of the bucks to drink medicine made by
the medicine man to cleanse their system.
In camp the Indian killed nothing which
was not eatable.

The Beautiful Home.

FROM Mothers Magazine.
Our homes should be bright and cheerv
They can be made so If we learn a lesson
from nature, and construct beautiful things
from simple elements.
Children love beautiful things; It Is we'll
that they do. They will spy a brfgbt-col-
ored pebble among host of dark, uninter-
esting ones They are wiser than we
grown-ups. They are continually on the
lookout for the beauties of nature. They
catch the sunshine, but pay little attention
to the shadows. We can learn a lesson
from them. 1 fear we too frequently are
looking for the somber tones, while there
are bright, warm tints on either hand
We are so glad that beautiful things do
not always have to be expensive things
There are many really good reproductions
of fine pictures that can be had at little
expense. Wondrously artistic wall nonar

may be beautiful in spirit. If not in feature
Each one may add something to the har-
nonious whole.
From the beauty of things without chill

ing the beautiful life within Children will
soon see that whatever is ugly and sinful
will mar the beauty of the whole. They
will desire that their souls be pure. clean
and beautiful. Our child has a right to be
well born and well trained in princinles
that are pure and right, and to be well
guarded, and taught how to keep himself
from the unlovely and harmful He has a
right to enjoy the rosy dreams of child
hood, undisturbed and unbroken by the
htdeous nightmare of evil, and the mother
must. for the most part, be the one to guard
the sacred precinct. Moreover, the habit
of seeking and pointing out the things that
are lovely for the benefit of others will
prove a. blessing to ourselves.

Feat of a Greek Scholar.
From the London Telegraph

D rom me London IeIegraph.
1t may safely be said that no feat or
translation in any age has ever equaied
that achieved by Prof. Jebb in rendering
Browning's "Abt Vogler'' into Greek verse.
This fine seliloquy of the musician is less
obscure, no doubt. than many other of Its
authors productions, but 1t abounds IN
imagery and In turns of thought which
even an Englishman finds 1t not very easy
TO follow and of which he could hardly
have conceived it possible that any Greek
equivalents should exist Yet they did ex-
list, for Jebb found them. though 1t may
be doubted whether any other Greek schoi-
ar living would have been equally success
full In his search.

Practical Rules for Beginners - Com
Portable Clothes to
Wear

Written for The Star by Sally Chamberlin.
Up to Christmas time the feminine world
has very little opportunity TO think of any
thing outside of preparations for the holi-
day season. Church and charity fairs com
bine with the making and buying of gifts
to keep each and every girl and woman &C.
cuped during the spare moments which
would otherwise be devoted to recreation
and amusement. AS a result, when the
LIST of January arrives. nerves are quite
exhausted and the physical as we'll as the
mental health and strength demand COM
plete change and building up.
A woman can best begin this process of
recuperation by dropping all thought of
fancy work, or even dressmaking. Moth
ing racks the system as does close applica-
ton to fine needlework. The use of the
eyes, therefore, should be restricted to only
such duties as are absolutely essential.
Even reading should be laid aside for sew
eral weeks and every energy devoted to re-
pairing the great waste of vigor which the
stress of Christmas festivities always en-
tails.
In connection with the complete rest of
the eyes, never a day should be allowed to
pass, whether it rains or shines, without a
brisk walk in the open air Too many
women think that the exerc' Sc which comes
with household duties and the semi weekly
trip to the shops is all the recrea ton they
require On the contrary, fifteen minutes
of outdoor exercise, with only the thought
of breathing in natures forces will do
more toward building new energy and
strength than an entire day at active
Homework.
Many hard winter cold or sickness
could be nipped in the bud just now If
women would have the courage to take
regular outdoor exercise each day And
too much emphasis cannot be laid on this
suggestion, because If ever the system is a
a low ebb it is after the excitement and
busy days attendant upon the great holt
day of the year.

Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston has been
most successful in recording through the
medium of photography an admirable pic
ture of the opening Of Congress. There
could scarcely be a more difficult subject or
one offering less pictorial possibilities. So
many little units are inclined to produce
diversity Of interests, to break the con-
tinuity of single composition and form
merely an historical record. By taking ad-
vantage of the accident of light in conjunc
ton with the incident of action Miss John
ston has obviated this difficulty and welded
the mass into a concrete whole. The H.
terest is focused upon the Speaker, the light
falls in the center of the picture, the con-
gressmen have grouped themselves by
chance most effectively. The features of
those in the foreground are distinctly vIsi-
BILE but ss the distance increases they are
less clearly SEEM and in the visitors gal
leries the listening throng resolves itself
into a mere sea of faces. There there was
enough motion to give the effect of impress
sonistic rendering. Much has been written
of pictorial photography and yet many still
seem to believe that to be artistic picture
must be indistinct. This Is fallaey which
applies no more to photography than to
painting and which the example In question
helps to disprove. Every portion of the
composition is not equally clear and there
are no harsh lines. but the principal parts
have been given due prominence and have
been made. plainly observable. Miss John
ston has also In her studio quite a collec-
ton of attractive little pictures which she
took last summer in Europe, some of which
show the painters viewpoint and would
satisfactorily admit of more elaborate In
depreciation. Among the most Interesting
of these are a number taken in Robins
rural studio.
