KANSAS BOY. SUCCEEDS
Tom Gibbons Former Hutchinson
Teacher in the Philippines.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 3.-Tom
Gibbons is home on visit to ms
mother, who lives near Kingman' ana
his brother, Charles Gibbons, manager
of the telephone exchange at Nicker-
son. He arrived few days ago, and
will be here for an extended visit.
Gibbons was at one time a teacher
in the Sherman street school in TINS
city, years ago. Later he enlisted
in the navy and served his country
four years on a warship. He was in
the Philippines when his term of en-
HStment expired, and instead of COM
ing back to the United States he de-
cided to remain in the islands and
seek fame and fortune there.
1t was in the early days of the
American occupation of the Philip
pines. The United States government
was using an entirely different policy
from that of the Spaniards. We were
shipping in school books instead of
shrapnel, and bringing in teachers
rather than troops
He had studied law, and while he
was engaged in school work he dug into
the law of the islands, too. 1t was not
long until he was appointed an assist
ant public prosecutor in the island of
Mindanao.
