fective cause has been found for
each OF a large number Of diseases.
We speak OF pathosenic micro-or'
ganisms or microbes, or disease
producing organisms which can be
seen only by the aid OF the micro
scope. There are other pathogenic
germs which the microscope has a.
yet been unable to reveal. These
are termed ultra-microscopic.
Many infectious germs may be
found upon the skin and mucous
membrane and produce no disease
in the individual. In this way the
germs OF diphtheris, pneumonia, In.
fuenza and various other pathosenic
micro-organisms may be found on
the surface OF the body. They pro
duce disease only under favorable
conditions. when the bars OF local
or general resistance are let down.

that.
Congress has just threshed out q bill
to declare the purpose Of the United
States as to the future political status
of the Philippine islands and to provide
a more autonomous form Of government
for the same.
The Hon. Finis J. Garrett, of Tennes-
see. made a plea for the independence Of
the Philippines which fell upon deaf
ears.
The majority Of congress voted to re-
tain these possessions.
II we must hold these islands we
might begin to provide them with a
foundation upon which to stand, by first
working out for them simple constitu-
ton. with few ramifcations and techni-
calities which would meet all the re-
quirements of a simple people.
And next we might establish for them
commercial relations with other coun-
tries besides ourselves, so that they
might be in a financial position to take
care of their government.
The Democratic party, champion Of
Philippine independence, is conspicuous
by what it is not doing along these lines.
We are the chief gamers by the COM
mercial policy which We have thrust
upon the Philippines.
Their natural markets are Japan,
China and India, whereas, now, Philip
pine trade with the United States ex-
ceeds that which she has with all of the
rest of the world together.
Is this the way to prepare" these ISL
ands for independence?
It is like giving the children weekly
allowance and telling them what to spend
it for.
Are we conscientiously trying to do
for our curious and, by many, unde-
sired child of adoption what we would
do for our best beloyed?
Or are we holding on, cheating our
selves with high sounding phrases about
the necessity Of guardianship, protection
and the like, until we are quite certain
as to what may or may not be exploited
in that land by the ever ready capital
of America?
Would not the open door policy with
every country mean commercial indie
pendence for the Philippines and would
not our stand on this subject be very
greatly fortified if we practiced what we
preached?

We presume this activity on the part

intended to substantiate the claim of the

He did not imagine what a romance
that was to Elsie Van Nugent.
Afterward, upon succeeding jour
neys, it often happened that he saw
Miss Elsie at the gate. Then he
would nod pleasantly and pass a re-
mark. By degrees their intimacy in
creased. Dick Sittingwel would
often stay as long as five minutes,
talking and looking wistfully at the
big house in the cool grounds. He
learned Miss Elsie's name at the hO-
tel. She owned the place and was the
daughter of the late squire. She was

Elsie Van Nugent had never mar

her father until his death, when she
was 81. No opportunities came after
that. Opportunities for marriage
are few in New England among
women whom birth has made supe-
rior to the rest Of the community.
And, besides, Elsie was already grow

'No, but honest! Imean it! Why,
Dick, you must be making your cool
$4,000 and if your firm went bust you
could get as good job anywhere.
And As if you're a day. Amt you
never had a girl, Dick?"
Dick SittingWeu moved in his seat
uneasily. "CUt it out, tell you," he
answered ferociously. Hello! Bourn
End! Here's where I get off. So long,
old man! See you next week, as
usual"
Dick Sittingwen had had plenty of
girls when he was a yOUnf man, but
somehow all his romance had come
to an untimely end. And it was only
within the last two years that a new
romance, sweeter than any, and
more strange, had come into his life.
He never spoke about Miss Elsie
Van Nugent. 1t had never entered
his mind that he could speak to her
without profaneing her. That was
his sanctuary, his holy of holes. And
marriage with her was something Of
which he never dreamed.
Their acquaintance had begun by
an accident. Dick, toiIing up the hill
at Bourn End on a hot summer day,
with his sample case in his hand, had
seen the old maid standing at the
gate of her garden. He looked up at
the big house in the village and, tax
ing her for the housekeeper, said:
might I ask you for a glass of
water, ma'am?"
'Pu get you one" stammered Miss
Van Nugent, and ran away, or rather
hurried away, returning with a glass
as clear and cold as if it had come
from some Olympian spring. Dick
quaffed it at a draft
Much obliged, ma'am," he said,
and raised his hat and went away.
