THE cHILDREN's PARTY.

Dear Junior
I never have written for the Junior
before, will write about Children's
Party
There was once a lady who was
very fond of children, so she gave
out invitations to several little boys
and girls to come and spend the day
with her The little girls took their
dollies. The lady had swing fixed
up and we had a fine time swinging.
playing with our dolls and eating ap-
pies. She took us to see the ducks.
chickens. calves and little pigs, and
such a fine dinner as she had prepared
for us. and in the evening when we
started home she gave each little boy
a new waist and each girl new
dress. Do you not think this lady
loves little hoys and girls? l am sure
the lady will always be remembered
by those little boys and girls for her
loving kindness.

CURED June 6, submitted today n
report recommending severe pun
ishment for four of the officers who
! had charge Of the mutinous com
pany.
The board examined numerous
witnesses. including several Of the
captured Mutineers. and its report
Is approved by Brigadier. General
Harry II. Bandholts, c..ief of the
Philippine constabulary.
The Investigators demand the
resignation OF Captain Platka and
Lieutenant Dunsworth. on the
ground that they ore lacking in the
proper qualification OF officers, and
recommend the dismissal OF Lieu
tenant Debelaine for unjustly pun
ishing privates before the mutiny
and for abandoning his post.
The report also recommends the
reduction of Lieutenant Golcouria to
the bottom Of the list OF Lieutenants
and his suspension for month.
Especial leniency was shown In the
Tease Of Golcorria, on account OF his
youth and the bad example set for
him by his superior officers.
A portion Of the second company
of native constabulary. stationed at
Davao, island Of Mindanao, mutinied
on the night of June 6 and attacked
and captured the company's quar-
tiers. After a three hours fight,
the following day. in which one
American was killed and four
wounded. the mutineers escaped to
the mountains. Most of them were
captured one month later.
