~ RIVATE ALFRED w. MCLEAN,
one Of the youngest volunteers
now in the Philippines, has writ
Mrs. J. Himmelmann, of the perils
of war with the Tagals. Mclean
is the youngest soldier with his regi-
ment, although not the youngest who
went out with the First California.
That distinction belongs to st. Clair
Moore, who went to Manila on the
Picking with the First Regiment band
and carried a musket when the regi-
ment entered Manila. Young Moore
was born on May 16, 1882.
Writing to his mother Private Nc
Lean says:
con Valentines day we were in Pa
teros and we all came near being killed
Our major took us down to burn the
town We did it, and then we had to
fight our way out again. We ran out
of cartridges and were just getting
ready for the last desperate chance, a
charge, when the Washington regi-
ment came up and saved u.s."

1882 in the building belonging to Judge
Hyde. that was torn down to make way
for the Chronicle Building. When the

teers, he at once joined the First Regi-
ment He was one Of the first to sign the
roll at the armory and went to his
work as usual until he was notified by
Colonel Jim" Smith TO appear for duty.
On May 4, 1898, his sixteenth birthday, he
took the oath of allegiance, was mustered
in and went with his regiment on the City
of Picking. He has been with his regi-
ment through all the battles, and on
August -, 1898, though but sixteen years
old he was in the big battle of Malate.
He was also one of the platoon of Com
pany II that was detailed to march down
the river and burn Guadalupe, and at
Pateros when Companies c, NJ and H
fought their way out.
He says he has slept the sleep that only
a soldier knows on the stage of theater,
and lined up and ate burnt beans in the
dress circle. The hardest time he had was
at San Pedro, where they fought long and

BEE TREE NEAR P0NCA CITY
VS.. HOLSTER and Dave Reynolds
.Rnh II Of It's Sweets.

Guthrie. 0. T, Nov. 1.-THE Ponca City
Courier says: W. S. HOLSTER discovered
a bee tree on his farm, east of the city,
a few days since and calling the assist
ance Of Dave Reynolds. he cut it down.
It was a big cottonwood with only sufti-
cient live shell to hold it up. and when 1t
fell it split open right at the bees nest,
exposing a store of honey and turning
loose the timber full of angry bees. It
war a warm day and the little fellows
were soon very busy hunting the cause
Of their disaster. Their success was
quickly evidenced by frequent howls of
Pain from the attacking party. Torches
we're made ready at a safe distance, and
thus armed. two or three bucketfuls of
fine honey was secured. The bees had
located in the tree the year before as
shown by the combs which were left. They
were undoubtedly a stray swarm from the
apiary Of Mr.. CCaldwe1. who brought
several swarns into the strip after the
opening. Many swarms have gone out
through the timber and never been re-
covered. and the chances are that there
are many bee trees along tn Arkansas
rive rand across in the Usage country.
