FOURTH OF JULY IN MANILA.
Birthday of the American Nation Is
Celebrated with the Greatest
Enthusiasm.

The little brown men in the Philip
pines. who fought against the Stars
and Stripes few years ago, now cele-
brate its birthday with as much en-
tusiasm as the most patriotic Ameri-
can could wish. Long before sun
up in Manila the hustle of prepare

great number of Chinese in the city,

mable nature of Ihany of the build
ings,
In the afternoon there is sure to be
a speech from an open-air platform
draped with flags and later con-
cert of patriotic airs from the ornate
bamboo band stand on the Luneta.
The well-to-do citizen of Manila puts
on an Immaculate duck suit, pins a
tiny American flag to his breast in
honor of the day and goes out to see
the fun and take part in the grand pa
rade of vehicles and pedestrians on
the Luneta, which takes place as soon
as the climbing of the creased pole
and the potato and sack races are
over A brilliant display of fireworks
winds up the day. The harmless tor.
pedo and less harmless toy pistol are
in high favor with grown-ups as well
as children and it is very amusing to
see a fat elderly mestizo gentleman
gravely loading and firing toy pistol,
or gleefully popping torpedoes on the
pavement.

Good Word for the Widows.

When a man is left with a lot of
motherless children on his hands, he
usually scatters them among his rela-
tives. If il is the woman who is left
with fatherless little ones, she keeps
them together and earns a living be
sides. Women develop great enegry
when left without man. In fact all the
widows we know are getting along a
great deal better than the married
women.-Atchison Globe.

1t was rather a sheepish lot OF boys
who later marched two by two up to
the Evans place. The Evans meadow
was by this time assuming a decidedly
gala appearance, with its abundance
OF flags and garlands flying from fence
posts and trees.
Tom as leader of the opposition
called a parley His overtures were
responded TO with suitable reluctance
by Bunny as queen of the Amazons.
You know" said Tom, you only
asked for one obstacle race, and
we're willing to let you girls have
half the events if you'll only combine
with us You can't make much money
here, anyway. You can only keep us
from making any at all, and well give
you half the proceeds"
Now there Wa 5 one very good thing
about Bunny, which was that she
knew when to make concessions. So
she hesitated only long enough to tell
the other girls that they ought really
to forgive the boys, and then she
straightway sent the judges man to
tack the following addendum to the
white banners:
The girls sports will be held in
combination with the boys at the
school field"
And the girls didn't take advantage
of Toms offer, either, for they didn't
really want half the events. All that
they wanted was fair representation
on the straightaway races and an OPP
portunity of enjoying that fascinating
sport, the obstacle race They didn't
make quite as good time as the boys,
for after all, boys are pretty good at
some things, but when Grandniece

Mary was beginning in a still greater
outburst of revolt, when she was in
terrupted by a new ARRIVAL thin
girl with bright blue eyes and bright
red hair, who dashed around the cor

very hot third of July indeed, and the

WHO told yOu?" demanded Bunny.
Tom" said Mary That settled it,.
The news was evidently authentic,
for Tom was Mays brother, and both
girls knew his word was not TO be
doubted. Besides, he was chairman of
the committee on Fourth of July

were going TO hold at the village

visitors We're very fond of all sorts of
sports, and Bunny and Mary were
members OF small group of girls who
| had come from big schools where ath-
letics and gymnastic work were a
most important part OF the course.
Consequently they felt deeply ag-
grieyed at being debarred from par
ticipating in the Fourth sports.
And ii would be much more inter
esting if they had at least one girls
race, walled Mary, bursting forth
again with her complaint. Every
body is always more interested in

more people would go"

NO Race Likely Between Navy
Plebes and Georgetown Freshies.

been heard from Manager Benson Of the
Navy crews by the Georgetown manage
ment concerning the proposed race be-

ayers did everything but actually sign
agreements. this being postponed until
the Academy authorities decided on a
guarantee. AS this. however. should not
have taken more than three days at he
most. Manager Daley of the Georgetown
lads has given up hope Of the match be-
Ing made. and has begun negotiations
with the Baltimore schoolboy crews for
a race in that city on either May or Is:
It has also been found hat there will
be no freshman race in the American

will have to be entered in the junior
collegiate race. Although other fresh
man Fights also compete in this event,

Both the freshies and props have been
working hard during the past week and
are rapidly rounding into shape. The
high winds. Of course, have h rdered them
greatly. but they have managed to launch
their shells every day but one. and have
profited rather than lost by the rough
water. The props have shown unusual
improvement. and both Capt. Ryan and
Coach Russell are confident that when
the time for the final test comes the boys
will do well.
