Her home is on Fourth street, and TO
see her safely there he was obliged TO
ascend a long flight of stairs and pass
through a dark hallway. BY keeping
a step or so in the rear he was able to
assist her much in making the tire
some climb. But that wasn't alto
gether his reason for tagging behind.
The position afforded him a preteXt
for a little closer acquaintance with
her, and when the time seemed most
propitious he leaned over about three

quivering lips! The effect was not
magical, nor did she call in loud
voice for help. Oh, no. 1t seemed

ture occasions. happy even with the
succulent sweetness Of that heayen-
born kiss, though it were but lin

Finally, strengthened by the ap-
parent victory that he had won with
so much ease and dexterity, he wished
to know when he might call again,
and here he found himself up against
it good and strong, The tall young
man recoiled about six yards at her
answer. He, upon whose banner had
never perched defeat, stood white and |

woman as she proceeded to read from
memory few well-known acts, among
which was the familiar riot act. She I

and she didn't approve of such things
at all, and would he please take
back track aud not ask her to call
again? She had had Just an ordinary
amount of respect for him before the
of that evening, but since
knowing his true character she did
not wish to again risk an association
with him, and would he accept this
as final? Goodnight" she Sweetly

MANILA, p. l., !
May l6. 1899. !

Dear MOUu2T / TeCelNcu your leUCtI
Yesterday and was glad to hear from
you. | have been well since we land
ed here: it is very hot here now. The
rainy season will begin in a couple OF
weeks. 1t will not be as hot ther
but it will not be as healthy.
We landed here on the 23rd Of Feb.
and the 2nd battalion was called out
the next night at y o'clock to go out
to the firing line, We marched out
to No. . hlGckhouse, that is about six
miles from Manila, and dug trenches
We staid there until the next day at
noon We didn't get to take shot
at the gUogoes that trip.
The next time we were called out
was to go to the reservoir that is six
miles from Manila, our battalion was
divided up and Co. | had to take the
place of Co. from Colorado. They
were in front Of the trenches about >
miles with tide other three companies
of our battalion. There were but 10
of our boys of Co. l got into the fight.
They were detailed as support for one
of the guns of the Utah battery.
We staid out two days this time and
then vamocsed back to Manila. The
20th regiment was called out on the
10th of March. We started out with
several other regiments to take San
Pearo Mecarti Pasig and to drive the
Fiippinos out Of that part Of the
country or make good Filippinos out
OF them,
The men We're thrown out into
skirmish line with several regiments
in reserve. Co. | was held as support
for two 81 ard one hochkiss rapid fire
guns of the 9Th artillery. We were
lying on the ground in front of the
guns and given orders not to fire,
They were shooting Schrapnels over
our heads which made a very unpleas-
ant sound. One fellow said it sound.
ed like "Home Sweet Home"
The Filippinos were firing at the
battery and Us Most of the bullets
went wild. The man next to me had
three cartridges cut in two in his belt
but he did not get a scratch, We
drove the Filippnos back and killed
several of them and took ten or -
prisoners, one of them was an offic er.
The gunboat Langua de Bay did very
well with her light artillery. Her
largest gun is 81 inch gun from the
Utah battery. The Others are rapid
fire guns of small caliber.
Our next fight was at PasIg. The
Goth crossed the Pasig river in cascOeS
and charged the town. Co. I charged
up narrow street. The Filippinos
had built breast work across the
street wit h stones and CO.
coanuts. They made a stand there,
but yam0osed before we got to them.
The church tower was full of sharp
shooters and we made t hot for them.
Some one took shot at the clock On
the church tower and spoiled the looks
of its face, 1t was hit about fifteen
times. There were several Filippinos
hit nearly that many times, Our reg
iment lost five men killed and about
twenty wounded.
We moved from Pasig to New Man
lila and We are doing police duty in
the finandO district now, We have
to beat Chino or Filipino over the
head when he hits the pipe so much
that he gets loco as they call crazy.
We are having some trouble with
our money. The Chinos don't see how
It is American money is worth twice
Is much as Mexican money.
Well, must close, Write soon

In the recent installation of President
Hadley, the thirteenth President Of
Yale college, is exemplifed the impor.
lance OF having strong characters as edu-
Gators. President Hadley is not a min
ister, as many Of his predecessors have
been, but is a man Of strong personality,
of the highest ability and a deep student
OF human nature. The president OF a
large college like Yale, must necessar
lily exert a wonderful influence for good
or evil; likewise, in a comparative de-
gree, does the humble pedagogue who
walks a mile to his log school house,
eats his lunch from a tin pail and boards
around" The importance of the ed
uCator is Incalculable. He stands for
right and equity among his fellow men.
knowledge is the key that unlocks the
mysteries OF life and it is to the teachers,
the recognized leaders of education in
every community, that we appeal for
help. The teachers of Breckenridge
county will haYe much to answer for in
the future history Of this county Next
TO the mothers they are probably the
most responsible factors in it's future
government for it is the seed of ambi-
ton, planted in youth, possibly dormant
for long time, that will spring up in
manhood and bring forth its crop of
good or evil fruit May the teachers OF
this county avail themselves of every
opportunity to increase their knowledge
and their influence for good, and may
they be rewarded by having at least one
president OF Yale college claim Brecken-
ridge as the place where his ambition to
be great and good was first stirred.

Systematic farming is what we need
in the south. We have an abundance
of land, good soil, and our climate con.
ditions are better suited to farming than
to any other line of work. There is
neither economy nor profit in cultivat.
ing large area Of land in a slip.shod
way 30 that the net proceeds barely pay
for the family groceries A small farm
managed in an orderly systematic man.
neT, using everything to the besy advan-
tage, will earn money for it's owner. Let
the farmers use their brains as well as
their muscle; let them study their busl-
ness and stick to it instead of talking
politics and "hard times" at the country
store and great will be the change. Let
them do away with a haphezard, work.
When-you-please kind of farming and
adopt a method Of procedure, a line Of
policy as it were, carry it out to the let
ter and watch results. When this order
OF things is inaugurated, there will be
no gOne-tO-waste, worn out farms and
every farmer will be prosperous and
contented and master Of all he surveys.
