CASE OF THE Bitter BITTEN
Amusing Transaction in Counterfeit
Bills and Struggled Opium Takes
Place in Manila.

The city secret service is still zeal
onsly investigating the operations OF
the gang OF counterfeiters recently
gathered in, and each day brings a
new discovery OF some activity of the
gang and the uncovering OF more OF
their paraphernalia
Behind the story of The arrest is a
tale, told by one OF The alleged coun-
terfeiters, which contradicts the old
saying about there being honor even
among thieves.
The counterfeit money was not a
particularly good imitation OF the 20
peso bills turned out by the govern
ment and realizing its deficiencies,
its makers hit upon the plan OF buy
ing opium with it, Instead of distribut-
ing it around promiscuously.
When asked the other day by the
detectives how the scheme was
worked, one OF the counterfeiters told
the detectives.

which favor its spread In flock are
dry, barren runs. especially ON aka

Brad's Bit O. Verse.

The knocker drifted into town on
grievous mischief BENT he took his
tongs and hammer down and at bis
job he went. "Oh, yes, this climates
pretty fair, and l enjoy the breeze;
but there is a dampness in the air
that's bound to bring disease. I'm
going into business here, but things
look mighty glum; it seems to me
most plain and clear this town is on
the bum; the taxes are too awful
high; you're growing too blamed
fast; therell be a panic by and by -
these good times cannot last" And
so the knocker settled down and
filled our souls with gloom; he near
ly wrecked the good old town with
tales of woe and gloom; no enter
prise that came our way locked
good to that old bloat; his hammer
sounded night and day he nearly
got our goat; a hundred boosters
good and strong were kept upon the
rack to neutrahze his doleful song
his wailings dour and black; until
at last we raised a purse and took
our flintlocks down and ordered him
to take his hearse unto q rival town.
They say that all men have a right
to life and liberty; bWt when view
the hammers blight beg to dis
agree; the gibbet and the guillotine,
soft eggs and Eighty rocks are com
ing to the man. / ween, who roth
ing does but knocks. -Ex.

The Manners of Boys and Girls.

The Manners of Boys and Girls.
Hearing a young man address a
young girl by her first name, I,ask-
ed, How long Ghave you known
that girl?" About assiiweek," was
the reply. Did l not hearsyou call
her Maude'?" Yes" And you
have known her only week." The
young fellow replied, Why, she
calls me Tom" This familiarity
causes me to have some serious
thoughts on the manners of young
boys and girls. The latter are in a
great measure for any familiarity a
young man may assume.
If girl meets a fellow half way
and adopts the slang of the present
day, she may be sure he will feel
he is permitted to be very familiar.
A modest well-behaved girl will
never wish to attract attention, but
a forward girl will enter a street
car and, by loud talking, attract the
attention of the whole car. If girls
only knew how much more they
we're admired and respected for
quiet, lady-like manners, they
would certainly cultivate them.
If depends entirely upon the girl
to keep a boy at the proper dis
lance; if he does not respect a girl
enough to behave in her presence,
she can easily make him do so.
Young people ought to have a
good time, and we do not believe in
too much restraint being put upon
them, but good time does not de-
pend upon loud and bOisterOus be-
havior in the street or elsewhere
and such manners in either a boy
or a girl not only hurts them, but
reflects often upon parents who
have done their best to raise their
children right. Christian Witness.
