MANILA, Oct. ALI plans for tlis

The Philippine government has been
compelled TO abandon many projects be-
cause OF the state of the world money

Another pet government project that
is in hard lines is the National Coal
Company, which has only n small bal
ance of an advance of sJ00.000 made
early in the year by the National De-
velopment Company and with no assur-
ance of success In its operations at
Malangas. in Mindanao, where already
the. sum OF $4,000 has been expended,
while large projected works at Cebu
have hardly been begun. The small
amount of coal being mined cannot be
marketed beyond Zamboanga because
the expense Of transportation will not
permit competition with Japanese coal
It Is said no less than 100000 more
must be spent I'm Mindanao before the
mine can be operated commercially.

stated
AT present the purchasing rate for
$l00. is with minor daily fluctuations. APP
proximately 800 rupees. In other words,
every sl00 worth OF American goods
bought to-day costs the Indian importer
rs rupees more than It would have cost
him year ago. There being no guar
anty that a reversion to more favorable
conditions will take place. the Indian
importer hesitates to make commitments
beyond the demands of his immediate
and definite requirements.
The speculative element Is thus largely
eliminated from commercial dealing with
the United States, and even ordinary
business risks in respect OF orders for
future delivery and in quantities for rea-
sonable future demand are avoided as
far as possible.

"How dear to my heart are the scenes

tons present them to view.
After an absence Of seventeen
years, returning to the home OF our
early youth, to find we still occupy
warm place in the memories OF
those Of our early associations, 1t

worth while, and touches tender

After an hour Of general discus
sion Of the affairs of life during the
years of separation and turning back
the pages Of time, some of which re-
vived pleasant memories of the past
and some blurred by tragedy and
death. feelings Of sadness as well as
pleasure were experienced for the
scythe Of time had not been dull nor
the hand of death been idle during
the intervening years.
After refreshments consisting Of
delicacies of rarest culinary art, the
old time songs were sung-songs Of

of Mrs. Phillips (nee Mary Davies),
spoke the pieces we used to speak
at school and performed such as we
did long ago.
I fear some of the younger ones
might have a modified opinion of
their parents, but when they have
travelled !ifes pathway thus far and
look back as we were doing, they will
realize it is well for one to FORGE
the responsibilities of life, even for
d tine. and live again IN memory
those days of early childhood and
youth, for the sands Of time are in

travelling that level of time to that
undiscovered country from whose

from which tears of joy and sadness
will flow unrestrained,, joy at having
met, sadness that we must part. and

ROBBERS WORK
ON THE BRIDGE
Quincy Toll Keeper Went Out to Help
Open and Close Draw and His
Till Was Visited in the
Interval.

Quincy Herald: The toll house at
the west end of the railroad bridge
was broken into about II o'clock, last
night, and the days receipts amount
ing to some cents over S12G, together
with the till, were carried off.
The steamer Capitol had unloaded
her passengers who had been on the
excursion to Louisiana and had
passed on UP the river. While the
tollkeeper was on the draw opening
it for the passage through and clos
ing 1T after the boat had passed
through, the robbers, armed with a
pick, broke open the door, smashing
the window and breaking the fasteh-
ings of the TILL carrying it and it's
contents away.
Before the draw was opened two
automobiles stood on the side of the
road a short distance from the toll
house. When the tollkeeper returned
and discovered what had been done
during his absence these automobiles
had disappeared.
The Quincy police and those Of
Hannibal were promptly notified by
station went over. On learning that
officers from the Hannibal depart
ment were on their way up the local
officers returned.
The machines supposed to have
borne the burglars away could not
be described by the tollkeeper They
were in the dark and some distance
from him and not suspecting robbery
he did not pay much attention to
them, thinking that possibly some
thing had gone wrong with their
mechanism and that they were being
fixed up.
