QUEER BATTLEFIELDS.
On Ice and Underground Men Have
Made War.
News and Courier.
When the American marines and
the Colombian troops recently con
fronted each other at Colon it looked
for a time as if a battle was to be
fought on the pier of the Royal Mail
Steamship Company.
A pier is rather an unusual place
to fight a battle, but battles have been
fought in many curious places, rang
ing from mountain peaks to sewers,
and from ice fields to desert sands.
At the battle of Monterey, in the
Mexican war, the Americans were
able to command the streets of the
city with their artillery. but they had
difficulty in dislodging the Mexicans
from the houses. So, the city being
built of stone or adobe in solil blocks
of houses, the Yankees broke through
the walls from one house to another,
fighting and dri;ing out the enemy;
so that the battle of Monteey was
largely fought indoors.
In one of the battles of the wars of
William the Silent for the independ
ence of the Netherlands the Spanish
ships were frozen in on Zuyder Zee.
The Dutch came out on horseback
over the ice and attacked them. This
is probably the only battle in which
cavalry was ever used directly against
ships. Several other combats v ere
fought between troops on the ice in
these wars, and on one occasion the
infantry is said to have worn skates.
The battle of Austerlitz was partly
fought on a frozen lake, and when
the allies were retreating across it
the shot from the French artillery.
plun4ing into the ice and breaking it
up, caused the death of thousands of
Russians and Austrians.
Of the many underground battles
which have taken place in history the
fiercest was probably that of the siege
of Harlem in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch
countermined with equal industry, and
below the ground a fierce conflict
raged.
When the Versailles troops took
Paris after the Commune they chased
some of the Communist troops to the
great. sewers of the French Capital,
where some desperate struggles took
place.
A Frenchman went to a brother
member of his lodge and said to
him:
"What does a polar bear do
The brother answered:
"What does a polar bear do?
Why, he sits on the ice."
"Sits on zee ice?"
"Yes," said the brother, "there is
nothing else to sit on."
"Vell, vat he do too?"
"What does he also do? Why, he
eats fish."
Eats fish-sits on the ice and eats
fish. Then I not accept."
"You don't accept? What do y'nn
mean?"
"0, non, non. I does not accept. I
was appointed to act as polar bear to~
zee funeral."

The testimony which follows will
stand the test of closesn investigation.
Cross-examitation of :6uch evidence
will strengthen it. Proof of this na

most skeptical can hardly doubt the
claims made for "The Little Con

perience given below; it may save youj
many hours of future trouble.
W. H. Harris, chief of Police of New
berry. residing on Friend street, says:
"I suffered for some years from my back
and kidneys and a dull aching across
the small of my back made me misera
ile espscially at night when it was
much worse I could not rest in any
positior, the secretions were very dark
and full of sediment and caused me to
rise a number of timesduring the night
and between this annovance and the
back!cbe it. was :mpossib!e f.r M. to
get much sleep wbich was fast jnder
miring my general healtb. 7 tried S
number of remedies but until I .aw the
advertisement about Doan's Kidney
Pills ard procured a box at W. E. Pel
ham & Son's drug store, nothing gave
me rel-ef. The use of this remedy ac.
cording to directionq promptly brougbt
about a decidv-d change for the better.
After using two boxes the backache all
left me, the kidney secretions cleared
up and regained their normal action
and opnearance."
