Speaking Of military valor, the battle
Of the dervishes with the British army,
near Khartoum, furnishes striking ex-

obsolete rifles, the dervishes seem not
to have flinched when moved down In
great swaths by Maxim guns and other
modern death-dealers. But their homes
in the Upper Nile country are wanted

Teddie fuckers Two Terrapins.

The tortuous Tiber trends through
Tuscany. TO Tuscany the fuckers tour
ed, timely taking the train. Two truck.
men transported their trunks. Teddie
Tucker took two tremendous terrapins.
Terrible thunder told towering tempests
to tumble. Teddie, fearful, trembled to
the toes. Through the tempest, through
tunnels, too, the trusty train tOiled to
Tuscany. There the track terminated.
Then the trolley transferred them to the
tavern.
Tuesday Teddie took the terrapins to
the Tiber. They. though torpid, trod
the turf. There tired toilers tote twigs,
trying Herewith to thatch temporarily
the tumbledown tenements; tricky trad
ers traffic; terriers, tormenting tame tab
bies, toss them topsy turvy; tree toads
tunefully trill their treble tones; tulips
thiclzly thrive.
Teddie tightly tied the terrapins to
tree, then toying. tiptoeing, tried to
touch the Tiber, twice, thrice; then,
topping, tasted the Tiber.
Tommy Tinker!" Teddie Numbered.
Thomas Tinker, Tuscany's tailor,
thinking Teddie troubled, therefore
tramped to the Tiber. Thomas threw
the tape that tied the terrapins to Ted
die.
''There, Teddie, take the tape"
The twisted tape, tangled, tore Ted,
dies thumbs The terrapins thereupon
tenaciously took Teddie's trousers 'twixt
their teeth. Thomas, tugging took the
tape Thus together they triump hantly
transplanted Teddie to terrafirma

probably that which has just been fin

was built to keep the cattle from run

Spanish Proverbs.

It is perhaps in their domestic re- lations that the Spaniards have most trouble, if their proverbs give a fair picture of their trials. They have the true eastern feeling regard ing women, prescribing seclusion for them as the only proper state. Here are some of their pessimistic proverbs:
 aBeware Of a bad woman, and put no trust in a good one"
 "The best women in Sa2in are those whose legs are broken; l. e., who can not go out"
 "To love and be wise is impossi- ble."
 Mad lovel I for you, you for an other"
 "A boys love is like water in a sieve"
 "Lovers think that others have no eyes"
 "What woman wills, God wills"
 "Never advise a man to go to the wars or marry"
 "The day you marry, 'tis either kill or cure"
 "Marry and grow tame"
 Bachelor a peacock, betrotbed a lion, married an ass"
 "Grief for 6 dead wife lasts to the door,"
 "The first wife is a broom. the second is lady"
 These sayings are indicative oi the national character-decelt and pinchbeck gallantry. One might gC on indefinitely, but the patience that would endure the strain would need be proverbial.-John Northern Billiard.

hobson Talks.

Naval Constructor Hobson has been furnishing recently some in teresting information to friends in Washington of his imprisonment at Santiago. It was not commonly known that for four or five days he was confined in 6 small unventilated loathsome cell in Moro Castle. He could not have survived the i'm prisonment and undoubtedly would have died as the effect of this cruelty and hardship had it not been for the intercession of Admiral Cervera. who inspected the quarters and after wards insisted that the military commander should provide Hobson and his men with better and nor, civilized accommodations.
 Hobson says the chagrin and an- ger of Spanisrds at finding they had not destroyed battlaship in their attack on the Merrlmae probably melted them to the i'll treatment of himself and the other prisoners of war. The Spanish officials at San tiaeo supposed they had sunk an American bsttleshIp aud that Hob son and his men were the only sur vivors of the ship.

A SOLDIERS FIRST IMPRESSION.
A Montana Volunteer Writes Very Graphically of the Hawaiian Islands and the Splendid
 Reception to the
 Soldiers.

Al Vroom, the we'll known freight CT of this section, has received Q let ter from his brother, H. B. Vroom, of the First Montana Volunteers, now at Manila, in which he gives a very graphic description of the visit of the volunteers to Honolulu. The letter will be found quite interest ing reading and Mir. Vroom has very kindly permitted its publication by the JoURNAL-MNER. It is dated at Honolulu and is as follows:
 We arrived here yesterday morn ing and went ashore. enjoyed the trip very much. How grand the ocean; mighty, yet lovely in its strength; you think the world IS all water,
 But must tell you of the Eden of the ocean, the most beautiful spot on the face of the earth. 1 have often read of the attractions of Honolulu, but all descriptions fail to give a faint resemblance of its charms. It is one vast park of won derful trees, cocoa, banana, and the Banyan of Bible history; and flow CTS everywhere-I do wish you could see them
 Inc ci.y is not modern in its con- struction and consequently very picturesque. The streets are mar row and crooked-run everywhere. Narrow sidewalks, but faced stone all over the city; horse street cars and electric lights. There are but few fine buildings, but the grounds are so beautiful; the trees clasp hands over the streets and form de lightful bowers. I feel as if I could stay here for ever and be happy, and forget all the rest of the world. Oh! how wish could tell how it i'm presses me; I never thought that there was so much loveliness on earth. It would push heaven to be more beautiful. There are about 5000 whites and about 25yOOO Japs Chinese and natives. The city and the people arc clean; the people are | bospitable and honest. The women dress in white and look like angels with clipped wings among the bowers of green.
 The ladies gave a banquet to the soldiers on the grounds of the kings Palace" The spread was 6 feast for the gods; long tables GOV. cred with good things to eat; down the middle of the tables rows ol pine apples, just pulled, and bananas from the trees above our heads baskets full of cocanuts, etc. Jusi as the repast was over and 1900 soldiers were each using a toothpicl there was a good cigar handed tC each one. All the afternoon, pop pop the corks went-soda, gingel ale and lemonade were the drinks.
 For the ladies of Honolulu VI, gave three cheers and 6 tiger-tha I believe was heard half way tC Frisco. Mrs. President Dole said after the boys were through cheer ing, "thst repays me for all m! trouble; it does my heart good tt hear the men cheer"
 We visited the palace of eX-Toyaltl saw pictures of kings and queens were in the throne room and througl the house from basement to garret think we will stay here ten days o more and I will visit other places o note.

None but those iu the building realized that human life had been in jeopardy from the flames, and it was D. A. Burke who first gave the alarm of the two women being still iD the building and they were reached ouly to find their charred remains.
 The were carried out and placed on the hose cart of the O. K. hose company and taken to s. 4. Logan's undertaking establishment. They were burned beyond recognition. The identity of Celia Nyreen was established by the finding in her pocket of a purse containing 8 card bearing her name. The fact that Mrs. Andrews was seen in the burn ing building for the last time served to identify her as the other victim.
 Never has anything occurred in Prescott to cast such 6 feeling of gloom over the community as this; to think that all the furniture and contents of the house should be saved, and that two human beings should, after all that, perish in the flames.
 The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mir. Davis says that be had a fire in the cook stove up to nine o'clock last night. He had man employed repairing some furniture which he was packing, and the fire was built for the purpose of heating the glue.
 Miss Hall, who was boarding with the family of Mir. Andrews, selected private family to board with in preference to 8 hotel or regular boarding house on account of her dread of fire.
 The double funeral will take place tomorrow Thursday afternoon from the Methodist church, at 3:30 o'clock under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which Judge Andrews is member. Friends and acquaint- ance of the family are respectfully invited to attend without further notice.
