Carefully he pores over the official papers before him. ' A quiet, modest young native be seems, but few of his fellow countrymen have had a more strenuous life or ao brilliant a career: certainly no other of his years. For this is the ex-insurgent chief, the famous guerilla leader General Tino, who was a Colonel at eighteen, a General nt nineteen, and at twenty conquered Northern Luzon from the Spaniards and nrougm u under native control. This lad, also, for over a year defied Ibe new commander of the United States Army, General S. B. M. Young, when the latter was Military Governor of Northern Luzon. No other insurgent leader gave General Young half the trouble that this boy did. Tino's character is a strange one. His enemies among his own people arc numerous, some call him cruel and bloodthirsty, some weak and foolish, and others denounce him as un unscrupulous brigand. His friends maintain that be has within bus all the possibilities of a Napoleon. Tlno. at twenty-one, they say. several times defeated a Spanish army several times outnumbering bis own forces, while Napoleon was four years older when he simply captured a fort Napoleon, they fnrther con- j tend, bad behind him Europe's best soldiers; Tin? fought with a ragged bat- i talion of raw recruits who never before had fired a gun. Napoleon was a trained tactician; Tino rose from civil life, from the schoolroom. The most warlike cf the Filipinos j hr.ve been the Tagalogs. This is not, because their natures are more ag- ] gressire, but because Manila, which was the centre of Spanish tyranny, is the heart of the Tagalog district. Oppression has nade them what they are. | Tino is a Tagalog, born in the Province of Cavite, as was Aguinaldo. When the first insurrection against the Spaniards broke out, in 1S97, Tino. then a mere schoolboy, joined the insurgents, and so distinguished himself for bravery and military skill that <n ntnld succession. raised him to a Colonelcy and then conferred on him the rank of Brigadier-General and made him one of his perse lal advisers. Later, when the Tcgalog chief was banished to Hong Kong, Tiuo went with hin. Thus they became warm personal friends. When the Americans, in 180S brought Aguinaldo back to his native land Tino accompanied the chief, and joined him in conquering the Tagalog territory from the Spaniards, whose garrisons were driven northward, where they gathered Into quite an army. Then, when Aguinaldo had established himself in Maielos, near Manila, he said to Tino: I "Take 60i men and march north." . The boy General obeyed. Without Jtoking time to drill the 500 peasants given hiin he struck out on his march, fighting every day. beating back ihe Spaniards and conquering each town -be advanced on. 1 bis soldiers fell he replaced them $f;th other peasants, recruited from the country through which he marched. The prisoners he took he sent back south under escort of bolo men?militia armed only with long knives. At 1:0 time did his army number over 800. > His march was unimpeded by any serious resistance on tue part 01 me Spaniards unlil he reached the hanks of a large river that divides the Province of Union from I:ocas Su\ over 200 miles north from Manila. Ilere the Spaniards had determined o make one lust stand. They numtered about 1300. were armed with modern Mauser rifles, and were under command of old. experienced officers. Several companies of the Ninth Cozadores, Spain's finest colonial troops, made up the force. On the hanks of this river stands the town of Tasudin. There the river is several hundred yards wide, and much too deep to be forded. On the far bark the Spaniards threw np e: rliiworks that stretched half a i_.il, on ttUht of the ferry. : On came the boy General wit J? his mob of Filipino patriots armed with old-fashioned rifles and less thrin a hundred captured Mausers. Arrived at the river, he was met !y the volleys of the Spanish troops. He knew that it was useless to make a frontal attack. In one night he marched up his side of the river ten ii.iles, where he forded, and by dawn next morning he fell on the left flank of the intrenched Spaniards and utterly routed them. The Spanish commanding officer deserted his men and escaped off the const in a boat, leaving most cf big force prisoners. That was the last organized resistance made by the Spaniards against Tioo. What was left of their decimated ranks retreated northward, with j Ttno close on their heels, picking tip j stragglers. On August IS. iSDS, the day the j American flag was hoisted in Manila, Tino entered the important northern town of Vigan, next lu size to Manila on Ibe Island of I.uzon. The Spaniards bad passed through the day before, taking with them the local garrison and the I'ishop of Vlgan and his monks, the It 1 shop having under his j nut' cui'ieiuu iouus ot trewsure iu silver dollar?. Tiuo raised the insurgent tricolor ?ver the Bishop's palace, left a small force to garrison the town, and after only a few hours' sleep continued hi? pursuit of the fleeing Spaniards. It was simply a contest of endurance, and the boy of twenty won. It was the rainy season, and the soldier?' inarched in slush to their hips. At a town called Long the Spaniards were too exhausted to continue the killing pace, and they fortified themselves in a local convent. When Tino came up they hung out a wime nag aua asueu ior u paney. Tino walked boldly into the convent nnd told the commanding officer what terms he would grant him?unconditional surrender. The Spaniards agreed and all delivered over their arms to the insurgent lender. Then they were paroled and allowed to scatter about among the villages and to live among the native householders. The officers and monks returned to Vigan, where Tlno established his headquarters. There he was In constant telegraphic communication with Aguinaldo in Malolos, and there he remained until the northern march of ihe Americans began. It was in Vigan that he held as prisoners of war Lieutenant Gillniore and thirteen other Americans. He kept them in rigorous confinement, but still did not treat tbem badly. Lieutenant Gill more, iu speaking to the writer, told of a visit that he received from Tino, and described him as having most unattractive features, but a powerful personal magnetism that compelled one to like him. His smile, Gillmore said, was as winsome as any girl's. Tino has often been accused of tyranny. but the fact remains that he established a court before which Spauish prisoners could obtain redress against natives who bad pillaged *r otherwise ilitreated them. One case that occurred in Vigan Illustrates Tino's Ideas of Justice and discipline. 1 The Chief Justice of the Court of First Instance in Vigan was a Spanish Creole, who had made himself intensely disliked among the natives by his aristocratic ideas. He exacted the most abject respect from the citixens, and those he met on the street who did not greet him with a military salute, he did not hesitate to assault with physical violence. Naturally, the ChJef Justice was not a favorite with the populace. When Tino drove the Spaniards from Vigan and the Judge had fled with the retreating Cazadores, his household effects were left behind. Next day his house had been looted bare. When the Chief Justice returned as a prisoner ho entered complaint with Tino. and the General ferreted out the culprits, obliged them to restore all the looted property and punished them severely besides. f Then came a couuier-charge fr-.ui lit tjj ~ ,t-lli^l. UK' ClUZt'llB ilgUlJi&l luv u uu(,r, HI n "AV.A lac was accused cf tyrauny in former days. This was rather an indefinite charge, hut Tino. not having .a legal turn of mind, found if rjuit? sufficient. He liail the Judge tried, found him guilty, and sentenced him to stand one whole day in the public plaza and to salute each person who might pass and demand it. Refusal meant a cut from a bamboo cane in the hands of a muscular native corporal. All day long the formerly oppressed natives passed by in single file, and the Judge was compelled to work bis arm like a pump handle from morning until night. Tino remained in the north until the latter part of the year 1898. Then the Americans pressed hard on Agulnaldo in the south, and he ordered Tino to re-enforce him. The boy (Jen era I left a small force in Vlgan to man! tup prisoners, ana mui 300 riflemen marched down to meet the advancing Americans. But American artillery drove him hack. Now comes a singular Incident. As the Spaniards had fled before Tino. he now retreated over the same ground before General Young's cavalry. At n iov, t? called San Fernando he made a stand with 200 men, all that was left of his force. General Young advanced, and when he came up to the insurgents at San Fernando he was alone?ahead of his men?with only au escort of forty. The General charged Tino ami his 200, and drove them back, scattering them into the jungle?. Fif.y miles further up Tino made another stand in what was considered an impregnable mountain pass, Tanjradin. Again he was defeated by Inferior numbers. The Texans under Young simply walked up the pass without stopping. That was Tino's last pitched light. Thenceforth he pursued guerilla tactics, aud In that manner he kept Genoral Young's cavalry on the hustle for about a year. Finally he surrendered, after AgulnaUlo's capture. Now he enjoys a civil office under the Government he so stoutly resisted, and his superiors say that he is a good one. -New York Sun.

An Important Malt?r "With th? l:p-toData Woman. Perhaps never before has there been a time when the hair was an object of greater solicitude to women at large than at the present, or a more important element of personal beauty. The low coiffure has caught on with a rapidity which shows how tired tlie public generally was of the unwnr.l sweep ami bare nape, the small tip-knot and the high effects that have been in vogue so long. For street and ordinary wear the hair is drawn into n simple knot low down on the neck, and for evening wear the high coiffure remains in vogue, although whore a woman has a good profile and a style which the low knot distinctly enhances she is sorely tempted to weur it all the time. The low coiffure is pretty generally becoming,: s it shows the shape of the head to better advantage thau does the high coiffure. It uIro conceals the nape of the neck, which is a weak spot In many women** dressing of their j hair. Not every woman has a pretty neck, or one that is decorative when the hair is drawn away from it in the severe lines that have been in vogue. The hair is still worn pompadour, but, instead of an even symmetrical pompadour framing the face-, the hair is pouched over the face in irregular masses or puffs, and there Is a genera! movement to discard the rat as inartistic. Many women who have adopted the low style of hair dressing have returned to the centre parting, the result being something exceedingly womanly looking and soft, provided they have foreheads that will bear showing. A narrow, long effect is sought for by women whose heads are broad and the nape of the neck plump and pretty. These are in the shape of the figure 8, In loose coils, or in oblong knots. With the low style of hair dressing any crnauient that may be added in the form of flowers is worn at the side. Where the hair is worn in a broad braid, young women ornament the top and bottom of the braid with black ribbon >ow The lower bow is slipped through the braid before it is turned up, and protrudes on either side in a big broad fan. All these low styles of hair dressing call for a good head of hair, if the esults arc to be satisfactory. As iiancijouie hair is somewhat less common than it was in the days before crimping and rats were so generally adopted, not a few women, and even young girls, are glad to avail themselves of the black ribbon bow as a pretty and Innocent method of eking out their locks. One still sees innumerable bigh coiffures ou the street. Some of the best dressed women wear them, nud will continue to wear them, possibly with modifications, because they have found that the mode suits their style. It will probably be a long time before the high coiffure becomes passe. Earring* in "Smart" London. A "smart" observer in London fashIons writes in M. A. P. of current fashions In earrings that smart earrings arcin two designs?the solitaire stud and the long pendant. The solitaires are usually In diamonds or in black or white pearls. Long earrings seem to be coming into favor. These take the form of an elongated edition of the stud design, the pendant being composed of a pear-shaped jewel, either a pearl, ruby, opal, turquoise, peridot, emerald or a single diamond of great beauty and Talue. In any case the earrings are completed by a round brilliant, forming a stud close to the ear. These pearshaped gems are now very precious, and bid fair to rise far higher in price. Pear-shaped pearls are fairly plentiful, and in emerald this form seems to be not uncommon; but it is rare in rubles and a pear-shaped turquoise is hard to find. o?h nmi distinguished ocv ciai oiuu* %, women have long worn earrings,among others the Princess of Wales, Lady Lansdowne, Lady de Grey. Lady Henry Bentlnck and Baroness de Meyer. Creole earrings appeal to some of us, and the large, round, jeweled rings suit a dark. Carmen-like type of beauty. Mrs. George Cornwallls West adopted this style of earrings when in evening dress. Mrs. Mackay has the finest black pearl earrings e\ or seen in Loudon; they are said to have eost ?30,000. Society ? Babble of Babel."

"Expenses are so rapidly exceeding Incomes that there is no longer any home life. All the adults of families are forced to go out to meet the heavy expenses that modern conditions impose. We would much better keep our daughters at home, and let them make a home, than to send them out to work in order to increase the family income. Let us lead simpler lives and develop more home-makers.

The neck piece should be of the severe sort, either to match the waist or one of the many pretty varieties shown in the shops at present.

Fashion Not**. Yards and yards of braid are used. Pipings are ubiquitous in the new modes. Fringe Is one of the fashionable garnitures. The long coat seems to be '"it" for general service.

V iftftnn a ~! I @ ROADS.'] General Mile* Speak* Good Send*, t The recent retirement of Nelson A. 'Hies gives especial interest to his pubic utterances. The most important speech made by the General recently >va6 one on "Good Roads and National Greatness," delivered at ths time of the dedication of the St. Louis Exposition. Among other things he said: "I know of no one element of civilization in our country that has been more neglected than the Improvement of our roads; yet this Is the element that marks the line between barbarism nnd civilization in any country. "The founders of our Government strongly advocated the necessity of , opening up and improving the means of internal communication.

In a letter to* James Ross: ^experience great satisfaction in seeing my country proceed*to facilitate intercommunication of several parts by opening rivers, canals and roads. How much more rational is this disposition of public money than that of waging war? "During the past hundred years the I people of this country bare devoted more capita'l, industry and enterprise to the construction of great commercial railways than have the people of any | other country. "Our Government has ex'Deuded more [ than $440,000,000 for the improvement of eur harbors and waterways. If such expenditures of the National treasure have been made in the past for the development of railroads aud water i ways, is it not now most appropriate that the Improvement of our roads should receive National attention aud Government aid? "Any measure that brings to the homes of the American people the daily news of the world, that gives the sovereign citizen the truth concerniug the affairs of his own country, that affords him a knowledge of the conditions and necessities of his own p<^ enables him to dischange his dut^^^. citizenship, benefits the entire and gives strength and character to^W" " Nation. "The wealth of the Nation comes primarily from the ground. The factory and foundry utilize the products of the soil and mine.

Therefore, every measure, whether by the National Government, the State, county, or municipal authorities, that can promote their welfare should be earnestly advocated." Keeping Raada la Order, One of the essentials In keeping a road In repair is to keep it well rounded to allow the water to run off after each rain. This is accomplished by running a grader over the road. As soon as the^icwly crushed stoneo are packed the grader is run along each side and all loose stones are throws hack into the road. Again before spring the road Is gone over, and all loose stones thrown Into the road, and the -' two ridges between the centre and the wheel tracks are eut eff and thrown into the low place in tbe centre that has been worn by the one horse traveling in the middle of the road. The grader Is used at least once each year, cutting off all high placoe and filling in the depressions. The road will uow pack and cement together, nnd make a road as smooth and easy to travel over as a floor. This piece of road has been macadamized seven years.
