IS Mr. Joseph Earle Stevens Writes In terestingly of the Islands and the In habitants Thereof, and Asks the Questions, “Now that the Philip pines are Ours, do we Want them? Can we run theni?” Oue of the most interesting ex pressions of opinion on the Phil ippine pxobltm \te find in advance sheets of a book entitled, “Yester day in the Philippines,” by Joseph ^arle Stevens, to be published by the Scribners within the next few da)s. Mr. Stevens lived in Ma nila for two years and was en gaged in busineas there, leaving the country about the middle of 1896. After giving a very inter esting account of “Yesterdijj^ in “■the Philippines,'* Mr. Stevens turns his attention to the future of those islands and discusses it as follows: “Now that the Philippines aro ours, do we want them? Can we run them? Are they the Icug- looked-for El Dorado which those who have never been there sup pose? To all of which questions— even at the risk of being called unpatriotic—I am inclined to an swer, no. “Do we want th«m? Do we want a group of 1,400 islands, nearly 8,000 mi lea from our west ern shores, sweltering in the trop ics, swept with typhoons, and shaken ifith earthquakes?

Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found” herself benefitied from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own house work, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at T. D.
