 An Indian Territory man has a pecu- liar and unique conception of the Japs saying. God did not incorporate exact ly the same characteristics in any two of His creatures. but He came very near 1t when He made the Japanese soldier and the red ant. They fight in much the same manner and with about the same regard for their lives. The Japanese army will never be put to flight. It may be overwhelmed and all the soldiers killed. but the battlefield will in several ways resemble the scene of an ant bat tie. with halves. quarters and eighths of ants lying around. After a red ant has been pfhched in two the front end can put up a pretty good scrap, and the same is almost true of a Jap"

Few Stay at Home Nowadays.

In old times the man died in the village where he was born. In the churchyard where the graves ot his pa rents and grandparents and more re- mote ancestors He was identified with his family and the circle of his friends. He had no life apart from them. In our time the boy who stays at home is a dull boy. The ambitious go west, or to China or south Africa; wherever he is he must go somewhere else. Ancient ties are broken and the individual lives for himself alone He lies buried. Often he does not know his full name. The habits of selfish ness acquired while he Is making his fortune cling to him after he marries. Is it wonderful that trouble often comes?

Getting Rich Slowly.
Troy Press.

Ordinarily a great fortune is built up like stone wall--a stone at a time. The young man who declines to lay the first stone. because 1t comes so far short of wall. will never make prog ress in financial masonry. An immense proportion of the people of this coun- try live up to their incomes, laying aside nothing for the traditional rainy day. Because they cannot save S1 900 in a bunch they save nothing.

 If President Mckinley had lived DeLemos would have undoubtedly left the penitentiary at least two years sooner than he did.
 Friends of DeLemos saw President Mckinley in Washington a few days before he left on that fatal trip to Buffalo. He manifested much interest In the case of DeLemos as presented by friends of the Lowndes County man and gave them his assurance that the matter would receive his favorable consideration when he returned from Buffalo.
 President Roosevelt did not look with so much favor on the plea of De- Lemos and the death of Mckinley was unfortunate for him."

 Congressman Heflin is looking very healthy. He Is impressed though by the hard work that falls to the repre- sentative of any State in Congress.

UNDECIDED AS TO PHILIPPINE
 POLICY.

The people do not know exactly what to expect from this administration in the way of a Philippine policy. During the recent campaign 1t was generally given out on the Republican side that independence awaited the Filipinos in due time. with at least an implication that the due time was not far distant
 The President was virtually committed to the same line of policy for in his message to Congress in December he went so far as to suggest that the ulti- mate relation of the United States should be similar to that of Cuba. Now Secretary Taft finds it necessary to ex- plain that when he talks of Philippine independence as a possibility, he means independence fifty or a hundred years hence when most of the present genera ton shall have passed away, and he is careful to add that by that time he be- lieves the Filipinos will not wish to be independent. but will wish to retain such a connection with the United States as Canada and Australia have with Great Britain. He adds for the benefit of the high-tariff Republicans that he thinks that free trade with the United States will secure the permanent good will and loyalty of the Filipinos
