stones are touched with a lighter
hand.
Who can say that such tales as
these will degrade~us? Yet they were
the outgrowth of such efforts as little
Murphy and Airing Tootle put forth
in the Jeffersonian. Who can say
what is the best education for you or
for me? If the child is father to the
man, then the education, which would
lead an incipient Mark Twain to honor
and success, would drag young
Darwin down to failure. You can't
measure the poet and the tailor by the
same yard-stick.
We all like to laugh. 1t does us
good. We feel like superior beings
when we laugh Countless hearts
have been made lighter, for time, at
least, because such men as Hood and
Clemens and Bob Burdett have worn
the cap and bells. Exaggeration is
the tap-root of their humor, and the
charge which Mr. Ethridge brought
against the Jeffersonian, in all
sincerity of purpose, falls to the
ground, improved.

open up air chambers and channels
which make it easy for rainwater to
seep in, and thus keep the wood in
moist condition. Fungous spores
floating through the air are enabled
to germinate with greater rapidity and
with increased effectiveness and the
decomposition Of the pole consequently
is materially hastened.
Several years ago the Forest Ser
vice co-operated with one of the large
telephone companies in Georgia and
Florida to experiment with various
preservatives in protecting the butts Of
telephone poles from decay. These
preservatives were simply painted upon
the wood, and of course did not sink
in to any great depth. A recent ex-
animation made Of this pole line show
ed that wherever the preservative had
entered the wood no destruction due
to insect attack had taken place, but
where the wood was unprotected, such
injury was frequently quite serious.
Poles in which the preservatives had
seeped through a crack were often
more or less fiuted on the surface. that
is, the oil saturating the wood in the
immediate vicinity of the crack pro-
tected it from the attacks of the in
sets. 1t is essential. therefore. partic-
ularly in the warmer portions of the

COLORADO Springs. June A fine Of

ownership OF 81 horse and the desertion
of his wife who ran away TO Denver with
his 2-year-old baby girl. are regarded here
as the direct causses that drove r. +.
Shepard to suicide at Portland. Ore.
Dispatches received here go far toward
clearing up the mystery that shrouded the
suicide and the discovery Of the body in
a lonely grove near Portland. In the dead
mans pocket was found a brief note,
which read:
Don't blame anyone Am not able to
go on any longer. Good-by, best wife on

The story Of shepard's life is a pathetic
one. and much OF it was written in Col
orado Springs. Several years ago Shepard
purchased a horse for s2 that had been
taken from the city pound. Litigation fol-
flowed when Edwin Crowley, a laundry
proprietor, began replevih proceedings,
but in this case Shepard obtained the ver-

new trial had been held in the courts here.
Judgment for 800 and costs was rendered
against him. and he was also ordered to
pay 81 a day for the use of the 81 horse
for two years, making the total more than
5000
This broke his spirit. and three weeks
ago he ended it all with bullet. During
the first trial of the case Shepard was
having domestic troubles, and his wife
left him. Later she went to Seattle and
met him there. and, after living with him
for a time, disappeared, taking the child
with her TO Denver. on the way to the
coast Shepard ran short Of money and
secreted his baby in a mail bag at Poca-

safely. Shepard was arrested upon his
arrival in Seattle, but was liberated

Experiences n Philippines

ants are barbarous or a semi-bar-
barous people. and explained that the
impression of their seeming dolence
was due largely to the fact that their
country was in a state of war and
that any efforts at that particular time
were useless.
Among other things Rev. Shook ex-
pressed the following sentiments about
the Philippine islands in his talk last
night:
Rev. SnoOE's Sentiments.
1T speaks well for people when OPP
portunity for betterment is provided,
that such betterment is promptly taken
advantage of Such is the case with
the Filipino people regarding the pub
lie school system afforded them by the
government of the United states. From
the very first the school proposition
has been popular until now 700, 900
pupils are. enrolled As a prize for good
work, through competitive examina-
lions each year, q number of high
school students reach the schools, acad-
emies. colleges and universities of the
United States for a period of four
years at government expense, and when
returning to the islands are provided
with a government position.
Peace and safety and security of
life and property as the foundation Of
prosperity was considered as one Of the
satisfactory fruits of the occupation Of
the islands by the United States. Also
widespread sanitation and the splendid
success attained in leasing epidemics
of Asiatic cholera, smallpox, and bu-
| bonic plague, which could be readily
controlled by scientific cooperation
| Such cooperation the Filipinos are
now giving more or less heartily and
with exact proportionate results. The
lepers are being gathered in a colony
on an island by themselves and pro-
visions made for their best welfare.
.An these facts together with others
which might be mentioned (for example
the establishing of good roads, would
secure sufficient answer to the oft
/ heard query as to our governmental
/ relations to the Philippine islands, and
| also an answer as to whether taxes
are more now than under Spanish rule
The people are getting actual dividend!
