Preferring chare' and -tin solder ing" is about. all that is being done at present. The fines imposed on the men each month I firmly heliieve will pay the salary of the Colonel and his -*alf. It amuses Ie to see the regular army olicers try to make regulars out of volunteers. Will give voi a few ex amples, of what the otticers and in are required to do and some of the tines and sentences given for disobedience of orders. Each otlicer is required to e present at all drills. etc. If sick lie must be extused by the sur0eon o1 the conunanding oficer of the post. an exeuse that he is not feeling well. don't go. The doctor is the one to say wheth er he is able to lerforin duty or not. Now for the men: at Pusido live men in Co. E were absent from reville. they all claimed to be sick. which was true. but the doctor didn't think so. they were given a big dose of oil and mark e duty. The 'Major then ordered that cha'rges be preferred against them. In the summary court each iman was tined *8.00. So many men who are not sick try to shirk their duties it is pretty hard for a sick man to get in the hos pital. On board the transport orders were issued not to spit on the floor or deck. The 'Major or some officer saw a sentinel spit on the floor near the state room. that fellow got 10 days or A10. Another man while in a restaurant spat out of the window. and unluckily for him it struck one of the native women on the top of the head. he got 5.00. A sentinel while on post was caught eat ing a banana. he got $5.00. A prLxate told a corporal-using his language --You go to hell": he had a general court Marshal: his sentence was three months at hard labor and s30.0O. A corporal was tined 18.00 for entering the cathedral at San Jose without per mission, said he only went in to lie down and rest. The first volunteers that came here took everything they could get their hands on and a great many will do so now, so orders were issued that no enlisted man would be allowed to enter any house or building and the officers were ordered to shoot. down any man they saw disobeying the order. This man is a jew. he says that was the first time he was ever in a church and swears he will never put his foot in another. Have often seen men draw only 60 cents for hiking,. ighting and doing guard duty for one month in a tropical climate for Uncle Sam. I be lieve that the majority of them should have been punished severely. but to take their wages away for such offenees is too hard. There is lots of work around quarters and a few days extra duty would be sufficient. Last year a great many enlisted men found fault with their officers. well they should thank their stars they are not in the volunteer service this year. The men had a picnic last year compared to the present service: the staff all being regulars it is strictly business. I thought it best in every wav for the men to have all the higher officers regulars. for the government it is cer tainly best, now I have changed my opinion. One regular officer in each regiment of volunteers is sufficient. Some of the volunteer officers treat their men with very little respect. generally speaking it is those who were in command of negro troops last year. lhe colonel lieut-colonel and several aptains commanded negro tmroops dur ng the previous service and it is a comn on thing to have some fellows eussed by an ottirer. Some of the men ovecr 'eard a captain tell a lieutenant to bring those Filippino officers upstair's. [ do not want them to stay down there with those damned enlisted men." I ave never been personally insulted by n officer and find those who speak of heir men in this manner are not as ood as the men themselves. It seems as if evei'v man must have a case of chill and fever. I am glad I have otten over mine. At present there re 24 men sick in the hospital from my comp)anv. The doctors claim it is the fresh meat or water, well, nmy opin ion is that it is nothing more than the :limate, after marching and fighting. sleeping on the damp ground for nearly four months is enough to make any :rdinary man sick. Here is one thing. though,'that baffles them all: quite a umber of men are troubled with worms. have seen some of them vomit real live worms two or three inches long. How does that strike the cold feet in Americay I -find those who stay with hard tack. bacon and coffee ar'e the ones that keep well. To eat and drink ay old thing in this country will soon wind up your clock. The native doctors laim that grown people hav'e wvorms here like childr'en have in the States. If any of the boys should tell me that my face was black and that I looked wormy. I'd not be insulted but go straight to the doctor and get some turpentine. The fighting is still going on in the islands and every' now and then wxe run upon a small band of them. They are now called Ladrones but they ar'e the same niggers the 1st Nebraska sentry fired on. Now for' a prediction: When he rainy season sets in and just before the election in November. for effeet. in order to cart"' the election for .MeKin 1ev. there will be lots of fighting in all the large cities. We will get our share of it, for this city and p~rov'ince is the richest and most densely populated of ny on the island. Just a few nights ago all the women and children across the bridge came over in the city for protection. The companies were order ed out but didn't get a nigger, they skipped out or v'amoosed as the boys say, after firing a few shots. The patrol isnot allowed to fire unless in self de fense. In the city quite often men could kill some insurrector. btut it is angerous to shoot the Kragg unless o have a wall behind the mtan to stop) the bullet. At San JIose a sentry tired at a man and killed a little girl about a mile off. Earthquakes arc nothing unusual. a few wveeks ago the v'olcano Taal about fie miles fi'om here. burst forth in all of its fury: it is certainly a gi'and sight. This volcano years ago destroyed several towns in its vicinity and formed the lake and island it is on. It has been smoking and burning ever since. Near' this lake is where out' first battle was fought. and I am nowx just as close to it as I care to get. It now' seems like we are living in another wvorld. it takes so long to heat' from home. but if we are sent back to old Dosmarinas to do gart'ison duty we will certainly live in a different world. Eash t'egitnent is now pt'epa ring for the rainy season wvhich begins ab~out Tune 1st. and of coure each colonel is taking care of himself. The tht'ee cities the 38th at'e gat'risoning ar'e considered te healthiest on the island. The colonel of the uth is kicking abiout hte g kept at D~osmiat'inas which has only one otr two bumildings itt it. besides lhe country is low, flat atnd swampi~y. I t is to a question of rank, he heinir the ranking colonel in the brigade, lie was here a few days ago to see how he liked this city x' HeI was very much pleasedi wxith it of coturse. as it is the petetad coolest place on'the island soI wouldn't he at all surprised if we a'e not hiked otut of here before long. Otur colonel has requtested to be sent to another island if moved. As I have seen all tihe fighting I care to see I will be only too happy if we can remn:' : right here at Lipa. All we talk about now is about being mustered out. Sotne say the first of January and some say .June 30. 190)1.

Editor Thi Manninr Times: Please allow me space in the col umns of your paper which is read with pleasure by many far and near, as it brings news of gladness to many homes and it is always welcome to the homes of many. I will try and give you a few dots from our quiet little village and the progress of the Sunday schools of this place. This little village is blessed with two noble Sunday schools, one Meth odist and the other Baptist, which I can speak of in the highest terms and can truly say that they are amongst the best in tihe county as they have good teachers who take pleasure in learning the little clil dren of God and never get weary in the labor of the vineyard of our Lord and Master, and to prove this it was my pleasure to be at the Children's Day exercises at tihe Methodist church of this place on Sunday eve ning, the 17th inst., at 5 o'clock. In the commencement of this occasion I must pay all kind respects and all credit to our high and accomplished friend and teacher in the Sunday school, Miss Eva Curtis, one who has tile highest respect and is loved by all as she is always found at her post of duty in her Sunday school, teach ing the Word of God with love and faith and never gets weary in work ing for our Lord and Master. Through the teaching and train iig of Miss Eva Curtis on this occa sion has marked her as being one who knowvs her duty and is willing to perform it. About 4 o'clock the folks began to assemble at the Methodist church until it was wvell filled and as the hour of 5 o'clock came Miss Eva Cur tis played the march on the organ for. the scholars to march in church and one could hear the footsteps of the little ones as they camne in the church keeping step) with tile sound of the organ. As they all proceeded to take their places which were ar ranged for them and so well trained by Miss Eva Curtis 1 could not see ho0w tile little ones could go through this march without making mis takes. It showed that they were well trained for this occasion and by one who knows how to manage a Sunday school; it showed patience and kindness. The occasion was the grandest of all the Children's Days that I ever had the pleasure to see. Brotner Connors from Summerton came up to fill the place of Bro. A. T. Dunlap as sickness prevented Brother Dun lap from being present. Tile occa sion was opened with prayer by Brother Connors. Then caime reci tations, dialogues and songs, some of thle best that I hlave ever hleard and I must give the children the highest praise for acting so well, as they did niot make the least error in all ~the program and it showed that they' were well trained for thlis occa sion. Everything passed off quietly and pleasantly and all were highly delighted with the occasion. After the childrein got through re citing their pieces, songs, etc., Brother Connors was called on to make an address to the audience, but in the commencement of hlis address he said that lie had listened with pleasure to the scholars arnd lie spoke in 'the highest terms of them and ave them' the highest piraise and redit for acting so nobly and faith fll in discharging the duties required of them and gave sonme of thle best advice to the teachers who would work faithful in the Suntday school and teachi the Word of God in faith and love to the little children and they would reap their reward ini the future when this life wvas ended. Brother Connors is loved by all who know him, as lie carries a heart ~f love for all and is spoken of in the highest ternis by friends and loved ones whecrever lhe goes. May God bless bimi withi all blessings and spare him to a g'o'd oldi age in the cause of Ihiis Lord and Master in marking the milestones in this life on the road to heaveii for the faithful ones, andI nav God bless Miss Eva Curtis for all'her labors so faithfully done in the cause of our Lord and Master. May His rich blessings ever be her lot through life and hecavenm be her home. R. andti irritate the stonach.

Take six to ten onions, according to size, and chop tine; put in a large spi der over a hot fire, then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to make it a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let ting !t simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply it to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When it gets cool, apply another and thus continue by reheating the poul tices. In a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed in this too often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but contjnue always until perspiration starts freely from the chest. This simple remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best phy sicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by this dis ease and won his renown by saving persons by simple remedies after the best medical talent had pronounced their cases hopeless. Personally we know of three persons who were saved by the remedy last winter in Boston after their physicians had given them up to die, and if a record was made of all similar cases during the last six years it would fill a good sized vol ume.-"The World's Progress." An American Reporter. They have a reporter on one of the Williamsburg papers who may not be much on style, but for placid, nery "get there" he is a jewel. A little while ago he was assigned to a politi cal meeting and asked to give a good report of it. Now, it happened that the festivities were conducted entirely In Polish, a language of which the young man knows nothing. This fact, however, did not feaze him a bit. He made his way through the hail, pushed up to the platform and sat down with the secretary. For several minutes he Industriously took notes and finally the secretary, turning to him, pumped out a volley of Polish. "I am not in it, dear boy," retorted the young man as .he turned again to listen to the speaker. The secretary looked surprised. Fi nally he went out and brought in a man who asked in English: "Are you a Polish reporter?" "Nope," was the reply. "I am an American one." "Do you understand our language?" "I never heard it before," retorted the scribbler, 'but I think I have pick ed up enough since I have been here to give a rattling good story." And he did.-New York Press. A Savage Publisher. The late J. Schabelltz, the famous Zurich publisher and author, was a shrewd business man, an excellent lin guist, a skillful writer and probably the most savage publisher who ever lived. When he accepted the famous memoirs of Count von Arnim, he wrote on the postal card with the acceptance the proviso. "I reserve the right to cor rect your Infernally bad grammar." To an aspiring poet who had sub mitted manuscript lie answered by postal card: "I refuse to be disgraced by printing your doggereL. I don't re turn the copy because you didn't in close enough postage. If you will send it, with the price of this card, I will send it to you, but I don't think the stuff is worth the expense on your part." One of his postal cards to a novelist read about as follows: "For heaven's sake, come and take away the unnam able mass of- paper you left here for me to look at!" An ambitious historian was crushed by the following, written, like all of his correspondence, upon a postal card: "You are making the mistake of your life. You don't want to study history. Yoo want to learn how to write."-Sat urday Evening Post. He Knew the sex. "I understand you have consented to your daughter's marriage to that young Swiftpace." said the old friend. "I have," replied the father. "I guess you don't know the young man," suggested thle old friend point edly. "On the contrary, I know all about him," answered the father, "and I also know all about my daughter and a few thIngs about the sex in general. If I had refused my consent, ten to one she would have married him anyway, but, having given it, the odds are easily ten to five that she will tire of him and throw him over before they've even set the day for the wedding."-Chicago 'ost.

We Are Cleaner Today. With regard to all the refinenlents of habit conveyed in the words cleanl ness, sanitation and facility of locomo tion the small shopkeeper, the mechan Ic, the very peasant of today, Is better off than were princes and noblemen '70 or 80 years ago. That little bathroom of poor Queen Marie Antoinette at the Trianon must have been almost as much an object of curiosity for its sin gularity In her day as it is now for its associations, and certain It Is that In all those vast piles of buildings at Var sailles, with all their gorgeous magnifi cence, bathrooms were an unknown quantity. According to some authorities, Louis XIV never washed, a little cold cream applied with a cambric handkerchief serving instead. This let us hope was a calumny, but in St. Simon's minute and detailed account of the monarch's day, from the handing In of his peri wig through the closed bed curtains in the morning until several dukes and marquises had handed the royal night chemise to each other, the highest In rank placing it on the royal shoulders, and his chaplain, kneeling at a prie dieu at the foot of the bed, had said his night prayers for him, no mention is made of any ablutions, except that he was shaved every other day.-Corn hill Magazine. Age Told by Teeth. "Men's ages can be told by their teeth as accurately as horses," said a Frank ford bookkeeper over his luncheon. "I have found this out by my Intercourse with salesmen. They come Into the of fice, stand at the little counter, and when the proprietor is not in they en tertain me a weary while with ac counts of their business skill and mer ited success. Having nothing to do, I watch their mouths-their mouths that cannot be stationary. "Up to the age of 2S, I have learned, a man's mouth closes and opens like a child's, and what teeth are displayed are the upper ones. At 30 the lower lip becomes loose, and the lower teeth are as much shown as the upper teeth. At 32 the tops or edges of the lower teeth are blunt, but they are still white. At 34 the upper teeth don't show at all. The lower ones' edges then are a pale brown. "And so on, as the years go by, the lower lip droops more and more, the lower teeth become shorter, and their edges grow blunter, thicker and dark er. I have often wondered why It Is that the lower teeth wear down In this way, while the upper ones don't do It, and why only the upper front teeth de cay."-Philadelphia Record. There Was Sorrow There. The colonel halted his horse In front of a Dakota dugout and uttered a vig orous "Hello!" and after a minute a towheaded girl of about 16 years of age showed up and looked him over and said: "Now, then, what ye whoopin fur and who be ye?" ''Can I get anything to eat here?" "Not a thing." "Any water for my horse?" "The spring's gone dry." "Hlow far is It to the river?" "Dunno." "Please ask your father to step out" "Pop's bin on a drink for a week." "And your mother?~" "She's got the toothache. That's her cryn." "Haven't you got a brother?" "Ycp, but he got snake bit yesterday and don't feel well." "Well, what about you?" persisted the colonel. "You seem to be all right." "Oh, but I ain't," she replied as she made ready to disappear. "I was to git married yesterday, but my feller got shot by an Injun, and It'll take two weeks to ketch on to another. This ar' a house of sorrow, sir, and ye will please to ride on and not ask any more fool questions!"-New York Sun. Japanese Courtesy. Dr. Seaman is an authority on Japan, and he tells this story of his last visit to that country: "There was a little incident happen ed while we were in port that showed the magnanimity of those people. A United States soldier wvas out riding a bicycle, and he was coasting down hill, when he ran over a man. They promptly arrested him, and he was taken before a magistrate. We all went up from the transport to see how things went with him. The magis trate heard the case and fined him $5 for running over a blind man. "'What!' said the soldier; 'was the man blind? Here, give him $20,' and he pulled out a $20 goldpiece and hand ed it over to the magistrate. "And what do you think they did? They were so pleased that they remit ted the whole fine, or would have done so, only the soldier wvould not take it back, but insisted on its being given to the blind man, and then they gave him a diploma setting forth what he had done."-New York Tribune. In the time of Louis Quatorze In France food in general was placed up on the table in one huge dish, and each helped himself with his naked hand. As late as the middle of the sixteenth century one glas~s or goblet did duty for the whole table. Men have missed their opportunities more often than opportunities have mie thom.-Elliott's Magazine. Paid For His Joke. The editor is fond of a joke and has the good sense to appreciate one at his own expense. A few weeks ago he was walking with a friend, and at the corner of a busy thoroughfare he saw a dilapidated looking Hibernian standing at the opposite corner gazing listlessly into vacancy. "Watch me surprise this old fellow," said he to his friend. "Look right into his face and see if it won't be a study." A second later they were abreast of the son of Erin, and the editor pulled out a silver coin and said as he thrust it into the man's hand: "Here's that half a crown I owe you. Now, don't go round any more telling people that I don't pay my debts." For a second the man's face was a study. He was amazed at the unlook ed for kindness, and then, as its pur port dawned on him, he raised his hat and said: "Heaven bless yer 'onner! I'll never say another word ag'in ye. But," and his eyes twinkled merrily, "are ye sure it wasn't a crown, ye owed me?" The friend roared: "Oh, pay the man in full! Don't try to beat him out of a paltry half crown." The Irishman got his crown, but the editor no longer pays his debts at sight now.-London Telegraph. Used Olive Oil. A mistress before going out told her negro cook to fry some Saratoga chips In olive oil. The first thing that greet ed the mistress upon her return was an unrecognizable and awful odor that penetrated every cranny of the flat Rushing to the kitchen, the mistress found the chips sizzling away in a pan full of what proved to be vinegar. "But I told you olive oil!" cried the mistress. "Yes, ma'am, I know, ma'am," re turned the cook, who, by the way, can read and write and is "up" upon mat ters of geography and history. "But, you see, ma'am, I didn't know what it was, and I saw that bottle there," pointing to a jar of olives, "and I just poured the stuff out of that over the potatoes. I s'posed that where there was olives there must be olive oil." New York Sun. A little social life is good for one.
