have been affected. Probably it will be
warmer from now on until the rainy
season.
The rebels have been concentrating
south of the Pasig river, on the front
of General Ovenshine's lines, on the
right, all day long. The country in the
vicinity is a particularly thick jungle
extending for miles. Scouts report the
rebels are apparently coming from the
Laguna and Cavite provinces. The
Americans are strongly e%ntrenched
from the beach TO the Pasig.

A Lesson From n Lady.

AS my pet, In dresses trailing,
Tightly clinging to the railing
OF the stairs, descends, she cries,
I'm a lady-largest size!"
Bonnet tied beneath her curls,
Happiest of happy girls,
But on the lowest step she slips,
Headlong on the floor she trips.
Finery is all unheeded,
Tears are flowing unlmpeded:
To my lap she straightway flies,
There to hide her tear-stained eyes,
You're a lady-mustn't cry!'
Answer comes with sob and sigh
AS j smooth a tangled curl,
mo, I'm Just your little girl!'
We may stride in plume and feather
Proudly through the sunny weather,
But when the clouds of trouble fall
Round about us like a pail.
All unheeded garments fine,
Straight we seek the breast divine;
Far from worldly cares and harms,
Humble children in His arms.

Struck By Runaway Horse On CascO
Street.
Animal Fell Over Onto
Her.
Clothes Nearly Torn OFF and
Was Badly Bruised.

A horse said to belong to Mr.. David L.
Newcomb, is Hill street. figured in an
exciting runaway about five O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. The horse was standing
near W. s. Parker's store on Congress
street. The owner got into the vehicle,
large black open buggy, and started to
drive of. As the vehicle started one of
the wheels broke of and threw the driver
cut. The horse became frightened ami
ran breakneok pace in the direction of
Casoo street turning ths corner and con-
tlnuing down the street.
Near the foot of Casoo street were sever
al children at play, among the number
being little Miss Irene Evans, four and
half years of age, daughter of Mr.. Henry
Evans the confeotioner. The children
saw the horse approaching and, ran to
places OF safety. The little Evans girl
ran onto the sidewalk and stood against
an iron rail fence In front of Mr.. Ed
mund Darker's house. The horse boltsd
for the sidewalk, but just previous to
this freed himself from the buggy. The
horss as he ran onto the sidewalk fell and
slid along striking the Evans girl. The
little girl was thrown down and was held
beneath the animal.
Mr.. Darker, who Is letter carrier, had
just returned home on his bicycle and
hearing the cries of the children rushed
out into the street. He was told that the
Evans child was beneath the horse.
With the assistance of other bystan ders
who had then gathered the horse was
raised little, but the little girl could
not be seen. The horse was raised again
and this time Mr.. Darker succeeded in
pulling the child out. No sooner had the
child been put In place of safety, than
the horse commenced kicking vigorously
and continued to kick until ths fence
had been completely demolished.
The Evans girl was taken to her home
on Cum berland street, where 1t was found
that she had sustained bad bruise on
the top of the head. Her face and neck
were badly bruised as was her shoulder
nd one side of the body. Her clothing
was almost completely torn from her
body, and on further examination one of
her ankles was found to be sprained. She
rested quietly last night and will prob
ably recover nicely unless some internal
injury may have. been sustained.
The horse was taken by some of the by
ISLANDERS and driven to the home of the
supposed owner. At late hour last
evening the driver of the runaway horse
had not put in an appearance to enquire
the nature of the damage done by the
horse. The dilapidatsd buggy lies ruin
in the gutter on Cumberland street.
