SPRAKING of the Philippine Islands, the World remarks: The islands have cost us in “blood and treasure” 5,000 lives of our soldiers and not less than $300,000,000, without reckoning the wounded, the hopeless invalids and the pensions, The government and the “maintenance of order’ are costing us now fully $40,000,000 a year, What have we to show for this except a dishonored Declaration of Independ- ence and a Constitution rent and frayed in the effort to stretch it over distant “possessions.” When the policy of conquest was fore. ed upon the unwilling McKinley there were allarlog stories told of the fabu- lous richness of the islands and of the enormous trade that would “follow the fag.” In the last fiscal year our exports to the islands were valued at $5,251,000 mostly for our own soldiers—and our imports at §6 612,000. Our whole trade with the islands for a year will not equal in value the European commerce at this port alone in a single good sailing day.

Wild ducks are very plentiful along its banks. Game, also is very plentiful in this section, such as deer, wild cats, wild turkeys, pheasants, squirrels and nearly every other kind of small game, with which the men have great sport In taking a stroll through the woods we saw immense trees, some of which F, M.

The animal was liberated in the kitchen in order to afford sport for the dog and the lookers on, but the fus was quickly turned to dismay. The animal proved to be a skunk in full bloom and if ever one of his species made things lively he did.

Torbert Johnston, a lumberman in the Black forest region, caught smallpox in a most surprising way. He ate brook trout caught in a stream in which it has since been discovered a number of woodsmen who had smallpox had bath. ed.

KISSES AT $200. | At Middletown, N, V., a jury bas fixed | $200 as the price a middle-aged man must pay for kissing a middle-aged woman against her will, This is too little—and too much. A kiss obtalved from a middle aged woman against ber will is not worth a cent, A kiss obtained from any woman against her will, whatever her age or previous condition of servitude is pot worth a cent, A kisss obtained from any woman who § personally attractive, with her full ousent and hearty participation, is worth more than §$200-much more ind a kiss bestowed under these condi. ions by a bigh-bred, warm. blooded woman of middle-age is simply beyond price. True, there can be no way of 1eguiat. ing the market value of a kiss, but if there only millionaires could iflord to kiss middle-aged women of the were, roper pulchritude and pedigree, and hen not often.
