and approval. It Is said, of 11. su*
I•ri .r officials. The Durri Hum bul
let Is used because the calibre of
modem rifles lias been reduced to
such an extent that a small bullet
will pierce a man and still r.-.t In
capacitate him from service unless
some vital part Is hurt.
It has been learned from reports
received by the War department
that lbs brass-covered bullets used
by the Filipinos are all of Ihe .41
iCm i rut ton caliber, a type at nrt,<
•i.t-d by M|.«lii as the national small

and for years 111.- soldiery of lh-
Philippines and I'Ul.a were armed

Philippine Insurgents are equipped
wllh this type of gun. although
they have »ls,> thousands of Main

It Is no mere poetical simile, but
a literal truth, to say of many of

richness of such a dower. It Is suffl
clent •■> say that It would purchase
two-thirds of » ton of "assorted dia

In sovereigns It would outweigh an
army pf too able-bodied suitors,

Hard to Get Acquainted With
A young couple called at a fash
ionable boarding house. In the West
End a couple of weeks ago to en
gage board. They were from Chi
cago, and the husband had recently
secured an appointment In one of
the departments, save th* Washing
ton Post. The landlady, an amiable
and pretty. If a trifle faded, Utile
woman, showed th* couple the va
cant rooms, and one of them was
finally accepted.
"Now. you'll want references, of
course," said the young wife after
the terms had been tlxed. Then atie
mentioned th.- name of a Washing
ton man of soma* prominence.
"Tou know him or of him. I pre.
aume." she inquired. "He la my
husband's uncle."
"Well," replied the landady. "I
cannot precisely say that 1 know
him. Nobody ever really knew him.
He's Btimethlng of a mystery Now,
I yaa married IB him for twelve
years and at the conclusion of that
period when I secured my divorce, I
