That I was Just drawn up In a knot...
I told my husli'tnd If ho would get

I commenced taking It. howerer, that

The misery In my side got less... 1
continued right on taking the Cardul
until I bad taken three bottles and I

outhly at home that she captivated ev

On another occasion while In Wash
ington Miss Auulnaldo was Klveu a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited "My Last Fare
well," poem of Dr. Jose ltlzal, the Fil
ipino martyr.
Miss Agulualdo Is a student at the
Cnlverslty of Illinois, L'rhatia, III.
While In WiishlnKton she was the
guest of Mrs. Julme C. di'Vevra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippine. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Klllplna. while the beautiful sights
from the Washing! .n monument thrill
ed her with lollght. When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and au
swered :
"H Is a wonderful country. I didn't
like winter at flrst, but since I have
learned how to skate I am having One
times. All the Americans whom I have
met have been very good to me. -My
friends In L'rhana and my classmates
In the university are Just lovely, but I
cannot help foellng homesick at time
because I am missing my father. My
coining here as Indeed a greut sacri
fice fur him. fur we are very close. He
Is so good to me."
Miss Aguliiiildo is Intensely patriotic.
She does m; conceal her resentment
when she heurs or reads of a misrepre
sentation of the Filipinos. "It Is un-
r..Munut." she once exclaimed in a
voice full of sadness, "that my country
and my people art hardly Known, mucn
less understood, by the people of America."
Politics Is tabooed In any conversa
tion with this Filipino maid, line
-.i.i iha tonic bv renlytng that she
Is too young to express opinions on
things political. "Ail i can say, n
declares, "Is that I share with my
father In desire for Independence
for my native land. There Is no ques
tion about our being able to govurn
ourselves."
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaiao nas
Veuulne Klllulna temperament"
that Is, she does not believe In the oc
cidental cutoin of "dates" between
..i men ntt She does uol
see anything wrong la It, she says, but
i. i. .,, violent depsrture from the
custom In the Philippines that She can
no! adopt It.
"You might laugh at nie," she said,
.h.ii 1 Miinot go out with one single
esirt uo.-haperoued. I simply can't
I wt go back to my country whu no
soul of a Flllplna."
A newspaper In one of the large Am
erlcan cltiea that Miss Agulualdo visit
ed expressed the opinion tbat she
would no doubt be greatly Impressed
by the sight of street curs and some ol
the Hue residences she would see, but

IF YOU BUT KNEW.
If you but knew the bennies I behold
On ev'ry side, you would not grieve for me,
Bui rather would your sorrow turn to joy.
If you could ihese fair, heav'nly visions see,
I'or Death is bui ihe passing of a soul

Vt'hcre life anew has only just begun,
For ev'ry spirit blest that eniers there.

Our watch o'er you, and hover near your side.
Though you know not that we are Ihere ihe while.

Upon our grief, we can so happy be
God has a h.ilmed for every troubled heart,
And we, who've "passed inio ihe lighi" can see
The bliss unending, thai awaiis you Here.
To compensate for ev'ry earihly loss;
We know you sorrow not (or very long,
And that ihere is a crown for ev'ry cross.
So ihink with joy of when you, ion, shall come
Across the Valley, and be noi afraid !
Our Heav'nly Father's mercy faileih not
He, in our darkest hour, lends his aid.
And let my passing be but one more link
Within the golden chain, to draw you near
The Blessed Home, where "perfect peace" abides,
And where no more shall we be parted There.
