ISLANDS WANT INDEPENDENCE
URGE REPRESENTATIVE TO
WORK FOR 1T.
Jones Measure Would Give islands
the Right to Rule Themselves
After Eight Years.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Cabled instruc-
tons from the Philippine general as
sembly to work for passage of the
Jones bill to provide for Philippine
independence, with a view to action
at this session If possible, and failing
that to press il before the extra SEES
sion, have been received by Delegate
Quezon of the Philippines.
Mr.. Quezon is not very hopeful Of
having the matter brought up before
the extra session when, he has been
told, it might be put through congress
as a Democratic measure. Mr.. Que
ION, who has just returned from the
islands, says the Philippine assembly
and every town in the archipelago
have endorsed the Jones bill.
The bill purposes to establish a pro-
autonomous at present, for a proba-
tionary period of eight years, begin
ming July 4, 1913, and that after July
4, 1921, the United States shall re-
linquish all rights of sovereignty over
the Philippines and grant to its in
habitants full independence.
The United States would retain SOW
ereignty over necessary naval and
coaling station sites and terminal
points for cables, not including the
bay and harbor of Manila. which would
be left to the Filipinos. Other deep
water harbors, equally susceptible of
Notifications and defense, such as SUI
big Bay, would be considered for naval
basis and coaling sites.
The Jones bill also. would provide
chat the Philippine government should
carry out the obligations of the United
States with Spain; that no law should
he enacted discriminative against citi-
e n of the United States, as compared
with those of the Philippines or other
countries. 1t also would test the legis-
native power Of the Philippine islands
In a congress Of the Philippines, a SEN
ate comprising SO members and a
house of 81 members.
The executive power would be vest
ed during the probationary period in
a president, appointive for four years
by the president of the United States
and after July 4, 1921, to be elective
by the Flipinos.

TOLD HER LIES AMBITION
Small Girl somewhat Crudely Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be a
Teacher When She Grew Up.

At n time or another during the
ward school life Of a little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps 1t Is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
Yields the ruler or the nonchalant dis
play Of wisdom on topics surround
ed by the most inaccessible difficulties
to the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to a
well-liked teacher, and one rather sur
prising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town,
sends room before she became princi'
pal Of the James school.
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening a little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
when / grow up, | am going to be
a teacher" she announced.
THAT SOP pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. "And why do you want
to be a teacher"
WELL" was the rather surprising
answer, I'll have to be either a
teacher or a lady, and I would rather
be a teacher."-Indianapolis News.

He's Not a Chicken Fancier.

Speaking of chickens a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted, un
certainest creatures that walk the fam.
lily acre. Almost everybody tries to
raise chickens at one time or another.
Looks easy-that's the deceiving part
of It. mH
And 1t is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. large sized chickens
don't know anything. II there is any
change of an intellectual nature as the
size increases the big ones know less
II possible than the little ones.
IF there Is a wire partition in your

Dublin has a beautiful park, as large

and the Irish children live IN the street.
The city has a 200 year old bank,
300 wear old college, an 500 year old
church and several 1000 year old feuds,
the latter still being in an excellent state
of preservation. Sackvllle street is lined

the casual visitor with its magnificence.
The bank of Ireland, the customs house,
the law courts, the lord ieutenants pal
