Value OF advertising.

Once. beset with pain and trouble.
When the day was dreary and dark
And felt most weary sinking
or my liver. lungs and heart.
In the papers was scanning,
Advertisements by the score.
Trusting there TO find some doctor
In whose ears my woes I'd pour.
Then there flashed across my vision
As II writ in living light;
Tell, oh, tell, old Doctor Cartinl
Tell, before you sleep, this night
All your woes and all your troubles,
All your aches and every pain
He can sooth you, he can cure you;
Put new life in every vein.
And when ali your troubles vanish,
And your liver works all right,
And your lungs resume their functions
And your heart with Joy is bright
Then you'll sing loud Hallelujahs,
And you'll pay your bill in gold,
Thankful that 10 DR.. Gartin
All your troubles have been told.
And you'll know that lucky Fortune
Made you know, at any rate,
That II pays for all 10 keep their
Advertisements up TO date.

have had precisely the same adyant-
ages, and they have not developed at
the same rate. 1t seems to me, there

that Of recent years girls have become
far greater consumers of sweetmeats
than ever were their mothers and
grandmothers.
Time was when we should never
nave dreamt Of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
IL would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And.
what is more, women are not merely
content to eat swcetmeats at our meals.
but they consume than at all times and
In all places between meals. 1t was re

one grows. Sugar is the secret of
strength, he declares.

POKER IN THE PHILIPPINES.
One Moro Who Knew the Gam

Reports came from time 10 time from
Portsmouth showing that the Oriental
ENJOYS and attaches had found a great
liking for American ways and manners.
and more especially for the true Amer
lean beverages, cocktails and high
balls, and for that little bit Of diversion
known as poker. On top of these re-
ports came a message from a member
Of the Taft party in the Philippines
that Datto Grande, one of the leading
citizens of Bambang, had fallen down
before the Sultan OF Ganassi I'm the
game of poker. Army officers stationed
in the Philippines are stated to have
carefully coached the DattO Grande in
this game and their estimation of their
ability to instruct has had severe
shock, a result of the Datto's losses of
his carabaos, wives and raiment, since,
1t appears, his opponent had never been
taught how to play, but had relied upon
his untutored skill and the devices
known only to the Moros. The next
thing we may expect to learn will be
that this willy Moro "Ah Sing" has
actually taken the uniform from some
OF our army officers, aye, even those
considered adopts at the game.
This news is probably Of more In
terest to the people of our island pos
session and to the citizens of the United
States than is at first implied. for II
shows that for cunning and intelligence
the Moros show ability to defeat even
the skill OF highly experienced and
practiced American army officers, and,
as an exchange remarks, il shows that
the Filipinos are and of right ought
to be free and independent.

The Postmaster Generals Pants

Hoke Smith, Postmaster General
during Cleveland's last administration.
tells a story Of a darky employed at
his home who was usually the recipient
OF all Of Mr.. Smiths cast-Off clothing.
Many of the coats, vests and trousers,
when cast aside, were OF fine quality
and as a result this negro shone in the
society Of his felowmon. On one oc-
casion the ex-POstmaster General pur-
chased an elegant pair of trousers from
Paris. Somehow, these trousers would
not wear out. Mr.. Smith would wear
them day in and day out, rain or shine,
and if apparently soiled a little clean
ing up would make them as good as
new. Try what he would, the servant
could not get the master to cast them
away.
One rainy day, Mr.. Smith came home
from ride into the country on horse
pack with his trousers very much the
worse for mud and water. "Sambo."

different from any of the other Govern

of these, surrounding the different de-

opinion of summer visitors to Washing

TO strike the majority Of fancies, for il

will now have an opportunity 10 see

what has long been considered as more

While several photographs were
taken OF the canals some weeks ago. |
IL was not until few days ago that
the solar photographers were ready TO
announce the complete success OF the
undertaking. Professor Lowell In the
following account OF the achievement,
