Tommy was not a little boy. He vas
a very big. old. gray cat.
One evening Tommy's master. who
was an old gentleman. was sitting By
the Hre reading. and Tommy. himself
was lying on the rug fast asleep, rolled
up In a sort Of round bali. with his
tail curied round his nose. The t1bas
was ready for tea. and on the tabSe
was plate Of sponge cakes.
By and by the old gentlemas we1e
into the next room and was gone juot
about three minutes. When be came
back. Tommy was still fast asleep. just
In the spot where be had been before.
but q very queer thing had happened.
A sponge cake had somehow come OF
the table and was lying close to Tommy
on the door. and there was . little
piece bitten OF Of It!
Now. how do you suppose that hap
pened7 Little cakes don't jump Oh
the table by themselves. and pussies
who are sound asleep don't jump up
on tables and steal cakes and bite
them.
Do you suppose that old puss was
really asleep? II he wasn't, don't Jos

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Foods Wrich are Rank Poison
to Others.

The constitutional differences and
peculiarties which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle ivy with impunity while
another is poisoned If only in the vicin-
ity of the vine and without contact.
Some members of a family residing in
a malarial district will suffer regularly
with chiils and fever, while other mem
bers will not be at all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons, will not act so Oh others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
Fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do SO only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds of
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and should
be ~prudently observed by each one for
himself. Intestinal arrangements fire.
quently arise from aud are aggravated
by certain kinds Of food. Thus a per-
SON affected with liver OF kidney
trouble should not eat very white
bread since the extreme whiteness is
often produced by the use of alum with
an inferior article OF -four, and as alum
is known to be poisonous in its effects
on a sound constitution, this Is why al
UNI baking powder is never used by
people of Judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people re,
alize and it is for this reason that the
different states are one by one passing
pure-food laws.

AT THE E HOUSE,
Charles E. Blaney's Big Success, "a.
Boy Wanted" Tonight.

1t Is conceded to be one Of the big
gest financial successes of the season.
"a Boy Wanted" is a farce comedy
which fairly bubbles over whit laugh
ter from start to finish, and will no
doubt play to the capacity Of the house,
with the same strong artists who won
so much favor in all the other cities in
which the comedy has played. "a
Boy Wanted has a plot which leads to
nothing in particular, but which serves
as IN introduction for the very latest
songs and dances, and a lot of clever
comedians with specialties. 1t is said
to be about as funny, clever and lively
a combination as could be desired. The
fun is constant. continuous and never
ceasing. and everybody is in the merri-
est mood during the three hours of its
progress. The incidents of the play
r supposed to deal with the history
of a theatrical company in financial
straits. 1t is claimed by the author to
be the best work ne has ever written.
and a novelty. 1t is interpreted by an
exceptionally strong company of
comedy and vaudeville artists. The
comedy is divided into three acts; the
first represents the interior of a coun-
try newspaper office, showing the press
in full operation; the second shows the
exterior OF the Starview hotel, and
during this act a number of special
ties are introduced by the different
members Of the company, several OF
which are classed among the biggest
hits at Roster & Blals, in New York.
The manager OF the Opera House pre-
diets one of the largest engagements
of the season this evening.

into the tower and roof. Company L
and Part of Company G of the Califor-
mans charged into the church, but
were unable to ascend the single flight
of steps leading to the story above.
After the incendiaries had retired, a
company Of the Idahoes and the Wash
ington guards, stationed on either side
of the building, picked off the F~ilipinos
as they were smoked out. Many of the
rebels, however, escaped into the brush
in the real of the church. The Ameri-
ans captured fifty-three of the rebels,
and during the fight about the church
twenty of the rebels were killed.
Some $500 women, children and non
combatants were allowed to enter the
American lines after promising to go
to the houses of friends and remain
there.
Another intensely exciting incident
occurred during the engagement. The
Washingtons and Idahos and Com.
panies X and NJ. of the Californians
made charges across the rice fields be-
tween Pace and Santa Ana in the face
OF a terrible fusilade. The ground to-
day over which they passed is covered
with dead and wounded natives. The
former are being buried in groups OF
five or six about where they lay, and
the latter are being brought to the hos
pital. 1t was at this stage of the fight
ing at Caloocan that the natives suf-
fered their greatest loss.
By 1 O'Clock the Americans had ap-
parently completely routed the enemy
and had taken the villarges of Palaw-
pong, Santa Mesa. Pace, Santa Ana,
Sanpedro. Macorte, Pandocan and Pa
sal, had destroyed hundreds of native
huts and had secured possession Of the
water main reservoir, a distance Of over
six miles. The Tennesseeans Joined
the firing line at 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning and assists in capturing San
ia Mesa.

Alger battery is also at Cavite and II
is not mentioned in connection with
the fight. Cavite is situated on Manila
bay several miles from the outskirts
of the city and probably eighteen or
twenty miles from Manila w~aterworks
and the points wnere the hardest fight
ing occurred. In the Tuesday issue of
the Denver News Is a sketch showing
the city of Manila and various towns
in the suburbs and the positions Of the
troops. This location OF the troops is
in all probability taken from the re-
ports of correspondents sent during
the past few weeks int hence is per-
haps not accurate. The line extends in
a semi-circle around the city, a dis
tance of about fifteen miles and given
in the following order, beginning on
the left Of the bay between Cavite and
Manila:
FIRST NORTH DAKOTA.
FOURTEENTH INFANTRY. (Reg.)
FOURTH CAVALRY. (Reg.)
Commanded by Brigadier General
Overshine.
FIRST WASHINGTON.

FIRST CALIFORNIA.
FIRST NEBRASKA.
FIRST COLORADO.
FIRST SOUTH DAKOTA.
Brigadier General Hale.
TENTH PENNSYLVANIA.
FIRST MONTANA.
THIRD ARTILLERY. (Reg.)
TWENTIETH KANSAS.
General Otis.
Inside this circle on the outskirts Of
Manila was the Utah Light Artillery
under General Macarthur.
The Thirteenth Minnesota was sta
toned as a guard in the city and every
preparation was made for the attack
which had been anticipated by the
Americans.
The Salt Lake Tribune mentions the
First Wyoming among the list of troops
engaged but not the slightest word
can be found of the part they took in
the action.
From'the press dispatches of Tues
day, the following extracts are taken
to show the part taken by the troops
including those in General Kings bri-
gade in which the Wyoming battalion
was supposed to have been, II In the
fight.
At 10 o'clock the firing was resumed,
the American firing line consisting OF
the Third artillery, the Kansas and
Montana regiments, the Minnesota
regiment, the Pennsylvania, the Ne
braska. the Utah battery, the 1dahos,
the washingtons, the CALIFORNIA;, the
Fourth cavalry, North Dakota volun-
teers, Sixth artillery and Fourteenth

THE A. AND NJ. COLLEGE

The Texas A. and NJ. College
opened last week, with the largest
number Of students in its history.
The new dormitory, provided for
by the last Legislature, is well I'M
der way, but will not be completed
for some time. When this build
ing is thrown open there will be
room probably for 800 students
and every room will be occupied.
There are additional hundreds OF
young men in Texas who would
attend this school If there was room
for them, and the number Of these
will increase as the character OF
the institution becomes better
known and as the population OF the
State increases. As it il, these
hundreds Of ambitious young men
have to 60 out Of the State for in
dnstrial training, or go without
altogether. This ought not TO be.
It's economical, in a financial
sense to educate our boys at home
for two reasons: 1t costs less, and
the money is kept at home as well
as the boys. These are cou'idera'
tons that seemed to be overlooked
by our legislatures. 1t costs the
State less to educate her owl
young men than to have othe
States do it, and money expended
Cor this purpose is shrewdiy invest
ed-not spent. The Last Logisla
ture did well by this institution
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1899-09-24

but its needs had been neglected so
long by previous Legislatures that
it will take several more liberal
appropriations TO catch up. With
ample room, there might have been
600 or 700 young men in attend
ance this year and 1000 next year.
Several States, with smaller popu.
lations than Texas, have more than
the largest number stated above in
their A. and NJ. Colleges. Thirty
States in the Union pay more tax
for educational purposes than Tex
as, therefore the additional taxation
that would be required TO fully
equip the Texas A. and NJ. College
for 1000 students cannot reason
ably be urged as an objection,
This is the most important educa-
tional institution in the state for
the great mass Of the people; the
training is on practical industrial
lines. Every graduate, whether
in the agricultural or mechanical
department, can find remunerative
employment, because lac know'
how to do things. They are now
to be found in every section of the
State, honoring their alma mattel
and the commonwealth. May
their number vastly Increase
