FLLIPIXO EXHIMTS AT
JJIU FAIli
In the world's Columbian exposi
tion at Chicago in 1S93 was :i Fili
pino village, and this was located
on the Midway plaisifnee, the
amusement section of the fair, rath
thau within the exposition enclos
ure proper, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The village was
visited by many thousands of per
sons, as were those of other peo
ples backward in civilization, and
mainly through curiosity. Natives
of the different provinces were
shewn in sonu instances as mere
savages, in otheis as workers in the
most primitive and the crudest in
dustries. Twenty-two years later,
in tiie Panama-Pacific exposition at
San Francisco, the Filipinos are
presented in aa altogether different
manner and in a far more favorable
light. We are told that the Philip
pine exhibit as a whole in this lat
er fair is representative and corn
er-hensive, and that it shows "un
mistakably the enterprise and pro
gressiventss of the natives," hint
ing, indeed, at ••possibilities of in
dustrial and commercial develop
ment which doubtless will be a
rurprise to many exposition visit
ors."
Reports published from tinio to
time siuce the beginning of Am
erican occupation will have Pre
pared ma-jy for the evidences of ad
vancement which the various Fili
pino -xhibits have to offer. These
displays cover a very wide range.
Aside from the peculiar products,
natural and raw, of the archipelago,
most of which are interesting, there
are exhibits in which the natives
are shown at work on embroideries,
luces, grass rugs, baskets, rattan
furniture and many products of
grass fiber. In the Palace of Edu
cation and Social Economy the Fili
pinos are given opportunity to ex
hibit the extent and character of
thrir school system. This must
be done largely, of course, by
inea:.s of photographs and motion
pictures, but these are calculated to
remove all doubt as t*> the future of
the neople along educational lines,
if only the conditions that have
made the advancement of the last
f'j"v years possible shall be main
tained. A decade or two more of
j rog-ess at the same latio, and the
I'nit-.l States perhaps will not feel
taut in granting the Philippines in
dependence it is turning them
adrift. 1
The exhibit made by the Philip
pines in l!>to contrasted with that
of 1S93 shows-plainly that they
have lost nothing bu., on the con
trary, have'gained much by Ameri
can occupation. There is no lack
of evidence to establish the truth
of the statement that the more en
lightened Filipinos are opposed to
any change in their government that
would impair the influence of this
. occupation or that would bring it to
I an early end. On the other baud,
there is reason tg beliove that ro
ccfit afkatioir of the question of
wi-'t'r home rule and speedy separa
tion has made'the population r^st
j less and that it is likely to bring
about, conditions disturbing to all
! tho activities that now are seud
' in?- the islands forward.- The Phil
j ippines, unquestionably, should bo
; feiveu the largest musur oetu .
! government that thy can bear with
j out injury to themselves, and un
I limited self-government when they
! aro ready for it. Hut those ou
. the islands or on the mainland who
, would press upon the Philippines
responsibilities wlhch they are not
' i repared to assume are neither
I wise counselors nor good friends of
the natives.

By F. A. MITCHEL
Jolin Ilobbs was a Yorkshlremnn,
bora on bis father's farm, worked on
bis father's farm and was contented
on his father's farm. He had received
only a few years' schooling, but he
was a bit of a philosopher In his own
way. He was engaged to bo married
to Ellen Brlerly and expected to In
herit her father's farm and live and
die there. Ellen was a high strung,
emotional girl and when the war with
Germany broUc out insisted that John
should enlist
"What for?" asked John.
"Why, all the men are enlisting."
"It seems to me, if that's so, some
one 'ad better stay 'ome and do the
furmin'."
"But think of the excitement of go
ing off to the war with the flags flying,
the drums beating and the band play
ing 'The Girl I Left Behind Me!'"
"And hobblln' back slngln' 'the leg I
left be'Iud me.'"
"John, I'm afraid you're a coward."
John looked at her, leaning on the
spade with which he had been dig
ging, then threw it down and said:
"I can't stand that from the girl I
love. I'm coin' to enlist."
"Forgive me," »• \1 Ellen, throwing
her arms about him. "I knew you
weren't afraid to go to the war. I
thought you needed a little prodding."
"I'm goin' to war to please you. I
don't believe in wars. The fellers that
go either don't come back or, if they
do, they tlnd the excitement all over
and people talklu' about somethln' else.
They don't cut no figure at all. The
fellers that stayed at 'ome has got the
jobs, and the soldier 'as to git a livln'
the best way 'e can."
"Don't fear for that, Johnny, dear.
I'll bo 'ere to welcome you back, and
if you are maimed I'll take care of you
for the rest of your life."
She kissed him and patted blm to
make him feel better about the sacri
fice he was making, but Johnny refus
ed to l>e comforted. However, he went
to the nearest recruiting station and
enlisted. When he marched away with
the regimental band playing "The Girl
I I.eft Behind Me" KUen stood by the
roadside waving her handkerchief nt
him, her eyes bedimmed with tears.

Wot's become o' Ellen Brlerly?"
"Wot's Ellen Brlerly to you?" snarl
ed the man.
"Wot's she to me? A coot] deal,
seeln' that HI went to the war for 'er
sake and left my leg In Belgium for
'er sake too."
"Are you John 'Obbs?"
"Fauncy I are, wot's left o' ine. Be

"And you've come back to marry
your sweet'eart?"
"HI fauncy. She promised to take
care o' me for the rest o' my life If I
came back maimed."
The man looked thoughtful, stroked
his beard, changed the leg be was
standing on several times, then said:
"This 'ere promlsln' to take care o'
any one for life Is a bad business."
" 'Off so?"
"I promised to take care of a wom

but it's a "aid Job. I wouldn't mind

"I don't want "er. I want Ellen
Brlerly, the girl I left behind me when
I went to the war and the girl I went
to the war to please."
"I'm sorry you did that"
J "Why?"
"well, your gum 10 uit »m fcui mc
Into a lot o' trouble. I was mighty
Independent In them days. I 'nd no
worrymont wotsoever. A girl took a
shine to me and married me. i ain't
'ad no peace since."
| "Is that wot comes o* matrimony?"
I "That's wot come to me. See 'ere,
j young fellow. I fancy it was very
'ard stayiu' in German 'ospitals and
leavin' your leg and your lingers be
hind you and losin' your eye. but you
missed a lot o' troubles worse than
that by goiri'."
"Wot troubles?"
"The troubles o' matrimony. You
missed 'em, 1 got 'em."
" 'Off so ?"
"I married the girl you left \jehind
you."
"Wot! You married Ellen Rrierly?"
"I did. I knew that a feller named
John 'Obbs that 'ad gone to the war
was expectln' to marry 'er when 'e
got back—if ho ever did git back—and
I thought I was wrongln' 'im. I don't
mind doin' the best X can to make
amonds. If you want 'er I'll light out
and say nothln* about it, leavhi' 'er to
you."
John Hobbs thought awhile before
accepting or declining this very self
sacrificing offer. Finally he said:
"That's very kind 'carted o' you, my
friend, but soein' 'ow you and Ellen
is married it wouldu't be 'onorable o'
me to crowd you out I'm goln' to my
father and mother, and I fancy they'll
be glad to take care o' tv.c. So loug."
And he stumped on.
