Manila, Aug 26. 6.--There has
been a serious clash at Cavite be-
tween the United States soldiers
and the insurgents. A riot re-
suited in one soldier killed and
another seriously wounded.

the Utah battery, became involved
in dispute with native shop
keeper. Fearing trouble he fired
his revolver to attract the at
tention of his fellow-sailors.

A detachment of the fourth cav.
airy was called out to dispense
the crowd which slowly retreated
continuing emptying revolvers
but without further damage.
Some night soldier on guard
duty saw a large body of natives
stripping the wreck of a gun
boat in Cato Bay.
A boat with an armed force
put out from the shore. The
soldiers hailed the natives who
failed to respond. A volley was
fired, killing ono native and
wounding another.
Aguinaldo denies any con-

These fights show the sullen
disposition of the natives. It is
feared that frequent, bitter up
risings will follow.

struck by one of the steps and
hurled with terrific force from
the track. When he was picked
up his head WAS crushed and sev.

The Intoxicated Turkey.

The opening ceremony of the festivities
connected with Thanksgiving day in New
York used to be making drunk the turkey
that was to be the most important feature
of the holiday feast. When the bird that
was to occupy the place of honor on the ia
BILE had been selected, 1t was taken to one
corner of the farmyard, and a cup of
brandy was placed before It, The turkey
would drink this eagerly and would then
give first class exhibition of being on a
"tear'' of the funniest kind. He w ould
staggeringly strut up and down, his wings
trailing on the ground. At one time he
would seem to look extremely wise and
then would appear to be overcome with
the hilarious aspect of his condition. In
the meantime the other fowls would look
on with gravity and wonder at the curious
capers of their companion as he toddled
around, sometimes gravely swinging his
head from side to side and sometimes lift
ing 1t high In the air.
All the members Of the family and the
relatives and friends who had come to
spend Thanksgiving with it would gather
in the yard and enjoy the sight. Finally
when the poor fellow was exhausted and
overcome with drowsiness he was killed.
The good housewives imagined that it
increased the flavor of the turkey so per
cent to kill it while it was drunk. Fam
lilies that would not allow drop of liquor
to be brought into their houses at any 9TH
er time except as medicine would not
think it wrong to make their Thanksgiv-
ing turkey drunk. Perhaps it was thought
that the bird would feel less worried over
it's fate if the headsman's Ratchet was put
to it while it was in a state of blissful ig-
nOrance. =Exchange.

So bravely the preparations went on for the
autumn feast.
The deer and the bear were slaughtered; wild
game from the greatest to least
Was heaped in the colony cabins; brown home
brew served for wine,
And the plum and the grape Of the forest for
orange and peach and pine.
At length came the day appointed. The snow
had begun to fall,
But the clang from the meeting house belfry
rang merrily out for ALL
And summoned the folk Of Plymouth, who
fastened with glad accord
To listen to Elder Brewster as he fervently
thanked the Lord.

Miles Standish and all his soldiers, with corse-
let and sword, were there.
And sobbing and tears and gladness had each
in its turn the sway
For the grave of the sweet Rose Standish
o'ershadowed Thanksgiving day.
And when Massasoit, the sachem, safe down
with his hundred braves
And ate of the varied riches of gardens and
woods and waves,
And looked on the granaried harvest-with a
blow on his brawny chest,
He muttered, "The good Great Spirit loves his
white children best''
And then, as the feast was ended, with gravely
official air,
The governor drew his broadsword out from
its scabbard therR
And, shifting the treHLher near him, he cried
in heroic way:
"Hail! Pie of the pumpkin! l dub thee prince
of Thanksgiving day!"

Joy is of many grades. Man Is like an

Of each different faculty.
Complete JOY is the harmonious Joy of all.
Man is an animal. There is joy of his

Blessed is the man who so keeps his ami
