He said that everything will be properly THURSDAY A GAIN FOR CALIFORNIA X-GOVERNOR TAFT hurried through California on Saturday last on his way to Washington to assume the office of Secretary of War. As he made his hurried trip across the bay, says the Oakland Enquirer, he took time enough to. talk about the Philippines, describe the present satisfactory condition of the~islands and predict their future prosperity. . Ex-Governor Taft is intensely interested in the Philippines and it is well for California that such is the case. He is determined that, as far he is able, the people of those islands shall have every chance offered to them. Secretary Root, good as he was, felt more interest in the American end of the intercourse and considered the good of the shipper rather than of the receiver. With Taft, the reverse will be the case. He will put himself in the place of the Filipinos and will wish to do business in the best market. It is for this reason that California will profit by the change in the Cabinet. This State is three thousand miles nearer the Philippines than is New York and by all the natural laws of trade should handle the bulk of the island business. With Root as Secretary of War, Eastern manufactur. ers, being nearer to Washington and having more influence at the national capital, succeeded in obtaining far more than their share of the Philippine trade. With Taft as secretary,the claims of California will be recognized, not so much, perhaps, for love of California as for love of the islands; but’ whatever the motive, the result will be added prosperity to this State as well as to the Philippines. PP PR HH DH B® DR. MILLS STATEMENT THAT THE DEVIL IS DEAD EV. BENJAMIN FAY MILLS, the well known evan[2 gelist, says the devil is dead, but that his works survive him. Shakespeare says the evil men do lives after them; and that the good is oft interred with their bones. According to Mr. Mills, this is true of the devil with respect to his evil living after Satan has died. But in justice to Mr. Mills, notes the Oakland Tribune, it should be stated that when he says the devil is dead he means the idea of the evil principle being embodied in an active intelligent agent has passed away, but that the evil the devil typified to the cruder minds of past generations remains, He might have gone further and doubted whether mankind is able to distinguish good from evil in the abstract. As things are, we see good things and bad things, but whether the phenomena are due to the working of contrary principles is a matter of the gravest doubt. We call drouths and floods, tempests' and earthquakes evils, but science teaches us that they are but variations of the universal law which governs the meteorology of the planet, the law that brings us sunshine and rain and harvest and the fruitage or orchard and vineyard. Possibly what. is currently deemed to be evil in the moral nature of man as exemplified in his conduct may be manifestations of the same universal law that produces good; that instead of good and evil being separate and opposing Principles, they are but variants in the application of one and, the same law or principle. If the devil ever existed he was the creature, instrument and servant of the Creator; if there is an evil principle in the world forever opposing and baffliug the good, it is the product and gift to man of the Almighty. “Oh thou, who of baser earth didst make, ‘‘An e’en with Paradise did devise the snake,” Sang old Omar. So Doctor Mills cannot be too sure about the devil being dead or his works still existing, says the Tribune. There is a Suspicion that the snake Omar Khayyam found in Paradise lurked in the wine cup, but if the Creator planted evil as well as good in the moral nature : of His children we. must believe that He did so fora good “purpose. His intentions were honorable.

H., Jan. 27—The Rev. James Kekela, an aged Hawaiian mis sionary, who was many years among South Sea cannibals and who received a gift of a gold watch and other tokens from President Lincoln for saving the life of an American whom Marquesas Islanders were about to torture, was arrested last. night on a Charge of insanity at the instance of relatives, Kekela taught Obristianity under very dangerous circumstances for many years in the Sonth Seas. When arrested he wes still wearing the watch that he had been presented to him. He is said to be over 80 years of age. The arrest was caused by his brother-in-law, who told the police that Kekela had developed a mania for hack riding and became greatly enraged when not given money for rides.

They must walk on stilts in order to oversee their vast flocks of sheep as well as to pass through the bogs. These shepherds—men, women and children—walk continuously on stilts from six to eight feet high. These stilts are merely fastened to the feet. Sometimes the stilts have uprights reaching as far as the knees and bound firmly to the legs. Generally these shepherds and shepherdesses carry long poles, which they can use either as balancing poles or as supports—very long canes, as it were— reaching to the ground. They become So expert in stilt walking that it is no unusual sight to see a shepherdess striding along on stilts that raise her six feet above the ground, with her balancing pole strapped to her back and her hands busily knitting socks for husband, son or brother. The complete unconcern with which these country folk make their way along on stilts is astonishing.

It rained on‘a day not long ago, and when Mr. Culpepper looked for his umbrella in the terra cotta tile in the hall it was not there. Mr. Culpepper body had taken it. He @didn‘t even sav it was gone. He merely Nooked at the terra cotta tHe and cherished regrets. It was raining, and he had ne, umbrella. The courteous landlady cane upon him and divined his trouble. i “Haven't you any umbrell?’ ‘sbe asked. “Oh, that’s too bad! ¥ow mustn’t think of going out without one. Just wait a moment till I get you mine.” Mr. Culpepper protested, but when Virginian meets Virginian courtesy is bound to prevail in the end. The land. lady went upstairs and presently re turned with an umbrella. “There,” said she. “Take it.

The complete unconcern with which these country folk make their way along on stilts is astonishing. One might alniest Say. that the children have stilts given to them instead of cradles.— Washington Star. The Meana, . Old Lawyer—Why do yeu feel that your client will lose his case?
