His tone was unmistakable. She
looked at him with glowing, wondering

Wildering beauty.
'Do you mean it?' she whispered.

answer, and she crept into the shelter

MINDANAo LAND RICH.

Now Lying Idle.
Americans have taken the acquisition
OF the Philippines as matter Of fact.
The islands are so far away, and there
is so much Of pressing interest right
at hand, that the manner of arranging
out new responsibilities and discharging
out new obligations, Is left absolutely
to the government at Washington, says
the Army and Navy Life. How many
American people know, for example,
that Mindanao is a little virgin empire,
with millions of acres of the richest
land in the world, now idle and fallow
but capable of enormous production?
An American officer who has lust re-
turned from there calls 1t ''the pearl In
the golden settip; of the Archipelago
the promised land for the toilers in the
east"
A while ago there was c1rculare
through the islands a petition praying
the American people to grant the same
trade privileges to the Philippines that
have been accorded Porto Rico, which
island, after getting what she wanted
and what she needed, jumped her ex-
port trade with the United States from
$S,5OO,OO0 to $2S,0OO,OOO and her i'm
ports from $9,6OO,OO0 to $29OOO,OOO an
nually! Porto Rico is only a dot on
the map in comparison with the Phil
ippine archipelago, and the benefits ac-
crulng to American customers Of her
products are slight in contrast with
those which would come with the ex-
tension of our customs to include the
Philippines.

ed that the SO called Cuban debt is
not in any sense debt Of Cuba but
that is Is in reality part OF the natio

that sthe debt was contracted by
Spain. for national purposes, which
in some cases were alien and
in others actually adverse to the
