A CRITICAL Time
During the1 Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle OF Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
ton and RatiOns to the Front Saved
the Day.

P. E. BUTLER of pack-train No. 3, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July Odd, says:
I'VE all had diarrhea in more or less vio-
lent form, and when we landed we had no
time to see doctor, for it was a case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, | sin
cerely believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of getting
that wagon train could use. My comrade
and myself had the good fortune to lay in a
supply of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and | know in four
cases it absolutely saved life.''

facturers of this medicine. the Chamberlain
Medicine Co., Des Moines Iowa. For sale by

THERE WAS NO GAME.
The Cowboy Had Several Points to
Settle Before the Cards
Were Dealt.
Copyright. $780,,

Things were getting little slow in
the smoking car. and when one of the
four passengers proposed game of
eucher the other three readily agreed
to take hand in. One of them was
cowboyish-looking chap. about 80
years old, and as he seated himself to
begin the game, he inquired:
Gentlemen, shall we have fair un-
derstanding before we begin business?"
why. we are to play railroad euchre,
aren't we?" replied one of the others.
Il expect so, but thought it would
be just as well to know beforehand
how many aces thar is to be in the
pack. I've played without any. and
I've played with six. Shall we say four
aces and keep it at that?"
The other three thought four aces
would be about enough, and that be-
ing settled. the cowboy continued:
"Now, as to disputes. If we call
each other liars is it to stop thar or
shall shootin' foler? I've played whar'
it stopped, and Eve played whar' had
to shoot the men on my right and left.
It's all the same to me. only I'd like to
know which way it is"
1t was very speedily decided that
there was to be no shooting. and the
cowboy bowed to the majority, and
said:
1--WE played whar' the joker took the
right-bower, and I've played whar' a
ten-spot took the joker. In the latter
case thar was three men killed. Seems
as if we ought to have plain under-
standin' before we begin"
The trio decided that the joker
should be high, but the cards had not
yet been dealt when the cowboy smil-
ingly observed:
another leetle pint occurs to me.
I believe the sheriff of this county IS
lookin' fur me, and l rayther expect
he'll be On the platform at Lafayette as
VIC draw up If so, both of us wilt be-
gin to shoot on sight. Will any of you
gentlemen hev any objections to drop
pin down ON the floor when the shoot
in begins. so as to give me room to
handle both guns at once|'
81 don't think care about euchre to-
day!" said the New York drummer, as
he rose up.

"Nor II"
swell. It's an interestin' game, when
everything is understood in advance"
remarked the cowboy. rs he earelessly
shulfied the cards, but mebbe it's just
as well that we don't play. Fact is.
l haven't shot at anybody or bin shot
at fur purity nigh four weeks, and it
the game didn't end in somebody 5ein'
drilled with hot lead, l should kinder
consider it time thrown away"
