BRAVE YANKEE BOYS.
How They Faced whitening Fire and
Moved the Spaniards Down.


New York, Aug. "a copyrighted
cablegram from Manila Bay. via Hong
Kong to the Evening World. gives the
following particulars of the fighting of
July 81:
General Green's force. 1000 men. had
been advancing and entrenching. The
arrival OF the third expedition filled the
Spaniards with rage. They determined
TO give battle before Camp Dewey could
be reinforced. The trenches extended
from the beach 300 yards to the left
flank of the insurgents. Sunday was
an insurgent feast day and their left
flank withdrew. leaving the American
right flank exposed. Companies A and
r of the 10th Pennsylvania and the
Utah battery were ordered to reinforce
the right flank. In the midst of rag
ing typhoon with a tremendous down.
pour, the enemy's force, estimated at
5000. attempted to surprise the camp.
Our pickets were driven in and the
trenches assaulted. The Pennsylvania
men stood their ground under a with
ering fire. The LIST California regiment
with two companies OF the Sd artil-
lery were sent to reinforce the Penn
sylvanians.
The enemy were on top of the
trenches when these reinforcements ar
rived and never was discipline of the
regulars better demonstrated than by
tain O'Hara. Nothing could be seen
but the flash Of the Mauser rifles. The
men ran right up to the attacking
Spaniards and moved them down with
regular volleys. The Utah battery.

glory. The men pulled their guns
through mud axle deep. Two guns
were sent around on the flank and
poured in a destructive enfilading fire.
The enemy was repulsed and retreated
I'm disorder. Our infantry had exhaust
ed its ammunition and did not follow
the enemy. Not an inch of ground was
lost, but the scenes in the trenches was
one never to be forgotten.
The night OF Aug. l fighting was re-
newed. but the enemy had been taught
a lesson and made the attack at long
range with heavy artillery. The Utah
battery replied and the artillery duel
lasted an hour. Fred Springstead. 1st
Colorado. was killed and another
wounded on the night Of Aug. the
artillery duel was renewed. Two men
were badly wounded and are this morn
ing reported dead. which brings the to-
tai dead to l3. with 10 in the hospital

ENRIcEEs TIE SOIL.
Science Has Demonstrated beyond .
Doubt That Alfalfa Rejayenafes
WOrnont lind.


There is another remarkable charac-
/ teristic of alfalfa that none of is rivals
possesses-that is, the power to enrich
chemically exhausted land. Along it's
tangled roots close examination shows
masses of what are known to be tuber-
cles. In other words, every root of al
| falfa is afflicted with tuberculosis. In
/ habiting these tubercles are myriads
F., OF bacteria. 1t is a general belief that
! bacteria are harmful to the human race.
! Some kinds are; but science is author
! ity for the statement that bacteria are
not always dangerous. Prof. G. l..
Clothier, of the state agricultural coll
lege in Kansas, says, in discussing the
bacteria on alfalfa and similar plants:
Many species are very beneficial to the
world. Among them are the bacteria
inhabiting the tubercIes on the roots of
leguminous plants.
] remember that one of the assistants
in this department of that college held
up to me with a great show of pride a
culture of some sort showing what he
said was marvellous growth of bac-
terra in tubercles. He was absolutely
fond of those tubercles. My thought
was one of great surprise until he in
formed me that one of the best things
for the rehabilitation of exhausted
soils was TO grow some sort of plants
on whose roots tubercles such as those
would thrive. Alfalfa is one of these
plants. It's long roots have double
part to play in this renovation of ma
ture. The millions upon millions of
bacteria draw large quantities of nj
trogen from the air and store it up in
the tubercles for use when the plant
needs it. Scientific experiment has
shown this to be absolutely true. Then
the roots go on an excursion for GER
tain chemicals on their own hook. They
go down ten, fifteen or twenty feet and
bring up the potash and phosphoric
acid that are needed for such a plant
and its tubercles.
Now, when these roots decay or are
plowed underground, they not only re-
lease the great quantities of chemicals
that have been stored up, but they leave
millions upon millions of little open
ings in the earth, into which fresh air
and moisture find their way, and thus
fertility Of soil is renewed. in other
words, the land renews its youth and
vigor by means of plant which drags
down into its roots certain chemicals
from the air and pulls up into its roots
certain other chemicals from the deep
soil that could not be reached in any
other way. 1t has been said that alfalfa
lives more in the air than on the soil.
1t has been proved beyond shadow
of doubt that alfalfa does renew the
youth Of the soil. Phenomenal yields
Of wheat and other cereals have fol-
lowed the blowing under of fields of al
falfa, and these yields have continued
year after year.-Harper' Weekly.

Tar-Paper Collars for Tiles Are Eas-

and Annoyance.

In laying tile drains the most seri-
Gus danger is that earth win get in at
the joints and finally clog up the in

short pieces of tile so that this will not
occur. 1t is a common practice to put
hay over the io.ats, and upon this to
pack the earth. Tie hay, however, de-
Gays within few weeks and may then
itself be carried into the joints. An
excellent method of preventing this is
shown in the accompanying illustra-

heavy tarred paper and collar is
slipped over each joint as the tile is
laid. Such collars are easily made,
either by sewing or by riyeting together
with tin-headed tacks, such as are used

Eighteen years ago Miss..Mabel Shields

Eighteen years ago Mis-. Mabel Shields
was born IN Chicago.
The most remarkable fact about her is,
that she IS alive to-day, living with her
mother at 1916 West Congress Street, and
enjoying excellent health
Two years ago she commenced to fail,
a number Of complications setting in, Incl
dent to budding womanhood.
Her experience and sufferings during
those two years were not only distressing
bot terrible. At last, utterly discouraged,
she found relief and perfect health.
Her own story relating this experience
will be matter of great interest to hun
dreds Of young women who are passing
through the same period of life fraught with
danger and death.
Miss Shields said: 1.-TWO years ago l

til the ground is firmly and immovably

In this connection it may .be well to
warn all those who put down tiles
against the common practice of throw
ing back into the trench, about and
above the tile, the rocks that are dug

much risk of breaking the thing but
there is also the risk that in the settling
