Hill is getting along, will tell them.
Mr. Hill came to Rochester June 5tn
and had a thorough examination the
day following. 1t was found neces.

taken to the St. Mary's hospital the
10th and went through the double op-
Grafton in the forenoon, and it proved
very successful He wrote me to come
from Cedar Falls on Monday, but I
did not receive the letter until too
late. so came Tuesday and found it
was over. He suffered a good deal the
first few days, but is getting along
fine and the doctor says he will be out
in a few days. but wants him under
his care for couple of weeks yet;

hot and dry.

speech printed in a faraway coast

Washington correspondent. The word

for some of his speech got no nearer
Portland than Chicago, and thereby
hangs a tale.
Johnson used to be a newspaper
man in this city. He was night editor
and copy editor and reporter and all
the regular things which ara supposed
to give newspaper men that broad and
sympathetic view of large affairs.
They are supposed to know when to
spend fifty dollars on telegraph tolls
for a speech on the tariff bill, and
when to chop it of at a few words.
Johnson made a speech during the
general debate on the tariff bill a few
days ago. 1t was his first speech
in the House. It was a good speech.

damned full of speeches about that

Animal Statues AS Lawn Decorations In

4 NIMAL statues as outside decora-
n tons for houses seem to multiply
when you look for them, and they al
ways seem to be coming into view IN
places where you had hitherto over
looked them.
In front Of the big four-story yellow
brick house at the northwest corner
of 18th and P streets, next door south
of Foundry Church, are two white
lions Apparently they have just left
the covered porch and are strolling
down the walk which leads from the
front door to the sidewalk-that is,
they appear to be walking because
each lion has his right foreleg lifted.
They are also keeping step. The pal
lor. or the Whiteness of the beasts in

have not long been exposed to the
wear and tear and dust incidental to
guarding a doorway on q much rav-
eled street.
They appear TO be twins. Each is
the same size and the attitude Of each
is the same; each has his head turned
to the southeast as though looking
down the avenue Of the presidents.

after him were bent on tracing his
movements.

lar up to hide his face" whispered
Mart, as Tilden turned into the next
street.
"Oh. that is quite natural" respond
ed Dave. It's beginning to drizzIe.
and he wants to shut the rain out"
The drizzIe changed into dreary
pelting rain in a short time. Dave
was glad when at last Tilden reached
a two-story building on one Of the
lower strata streets Of the city. On
either side Of the center open en-
trance were saloons. A part of the
upper floor was lighted up, but the
window shades were drawn trim and
tight.

ly, graspfng the arm OF his companion.

why, what do you mean?" inquired
Dave, staring blankly-

Mart pointedly.
''Why-er-that is, heard so-some
one told me-" explained Mart stun
bIingly.
In his excitement the speaker wiped
his face with his handkerchief. Dave
brushed the rain drops from his.
They crossed the street and stood in
the full glare of the strong electric
arc lamp, discussing what they would
do next Some people passing by
stared strangely. Then a policeman
came up, regarded them with a suspi-
cious glare, and caught each by the
collar
"Ah!" he remarked-"disgui

HIS GOOD FRIENDS
A Seeming Deep Mystery Is
Satisfactorily Explained to
a Trusting Lover.
BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.


Il tell you, Dave, that fellow, Ralph
Tilden, isn't worthy of your sister, :"
said Mart Woods.
"All you've got to do is to convince
me of the fact" replied Dave Briefly,
brother Of Rose Briefly, the prettiest
girl in Brampton.
II can do that" asserted his com
panion positively. See, here, Dave.
1 make no pretense of being disinter-
ested in this matter. 1 always liked
Rose, and like her more than ever
now"
I've always known that, Mart.
You and I have always been close
chums, and, of course, I don't favor
a newcomer and an upstart against
you
Mart Woods smirked with satisfac-
ton at the encouraging words He
was a mean-spirited fellow, according
to his shifty eyes. Dave was his iuni-
or, and callow, and fancying loyalty
to chum to be the height of human
chivalry.
I'll convince you, all right" as
serted Mart The only thing is to
convince Rose. She wouldn't believe
anything 1 might say, and she fancies
that Tilden fellow to be everything
that is good and true"

ors.'
When the treacherous Mart stated
that Rose Briefly held a very high
opinion concerning the young man he
considered his rival, he had not exag-
gerated. Rose had never given the
least encouragement to Mart's ad-
vaces. In fact, she had never known
what love meant until Ralph Tilden
had come into her life.
The latter was a manly young fel
low, whom every girl might be proud
to attract. He had been recently ad-
mitted to the bar; his first case in

More Americans Go to Teach in the Philippines

time go to the Philippines under
two-year contract. This provision is
made to enable the government to
ascertain whether or not the teacher
will succeed in the new field and also
to give the teacher a chance to find
out whether or not there is a sufi-
cient future to the service to warrant
him in remaining. That there are
only eighty-five vacancies this year
out of nearly seven hundred positions
for American teachers in the service
indicates, so the insular bureau Off
Gals say, that those already on the
ground have the greatest faith in the
future of the educational work in the
islands
The salaries Of the teachers as well
as the expenses of the trip, are paid
from Philippine revenues. The feder-
al government pays no part of the
cost of education in the Philippines,
which amounts to about So, SOC, 900 an
nually
When these teachers get ready to
return to the United States, either on
leave of absence or by resignation at
the end of two or three years OF serv-
ice, the Philippine government will
pay them, in addition to salary up to
the last day Of service, an amount Of
money sufficient to pay their trans
portation home, either via Europe or
the Pacific, and they usually take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to come
home through Europe.

That did not impress Mr.. Brown to
any great extent, so Mr.. Johnson con-
tiued to further explain:

want it, 1 fled about 500 words Of it
with the telegraph company"
Brown WINGED. His paper had been
advising him to cut down the tariff

the sort of soft pap that goes well in
the country districts, but hasn't much
circulation in a well regulated news
paper Furthermore, Brown inyesd-
gated and found that Representa-
Johnson had really filed 1900 words
and the telegraph tolls to Oregon are
enormousI He had visions of being
fired by wireless, but he discovered
to his great relief that his paper had
chopped the speech in two before it
was entirely relayed to Portland from
Chicago, thus saving a lot Of time and
trouble and costing Representative
Johnson a whole lot Of money for half
a speech to Chicago.
