In the far-away Philippines the au-

turned after two years spent in the
islands.

answer.
There are only three islands in
the Philippine group with any rail-
roads at all. and on these the high
ways cover a great deal more ter

GOT THE JOBS MIXED UP
But at That, Old Gentleman Had
Equipped Coffin for the Crossing
of the River.

Joseph G. Lincoln told this story
at the luncheon Of the Brooklyn col
ony of the Society of New England
Women recently to illustrate the etii-
cacy in the old days of New England
rum:
can old Cape Cod settler made both
boats and collins. One day he was
called upon to make a coffin to be
finished in two days. The old fellow
demurred because he was busy max
ing boat. But the need for the coffin
was imperative, so it occurred to the
nSistent customers that New Eng
land rum might help. SO bottle was
forthcoming. The old fellow took a
swig and agreed that he reckoned
he would have to accommodate the
gentlemen. In two days they returned
to find the old man asleep in the cor
ner, the bottle empty and the coffin
ready, resting on two chairs. But the
old captain had put a centerboard in
the coffin"
