WORD FROM THE FRONT.
Grafton Man in the Philip
pines Tells Of His Ex-
perience There.

Grafton, July 1S-A letter was receiv-
ed here today from Private Robert T.
Howard, now in Company B, Ninth u.
5. infantry in the Philippines, by his
aunt, Alice Howard, dated May 10, in
part as follows:
After a successful sea voyage we
arrived in Manila harbor April 20. We
marched from there about two miles
and pitched tents and went into camp.
Next we received orders to go to the
t1ring line. My captain was made ma
Jor on the boat coming over, so that
my company is In the Second battalion
now.
This battalion, including B. C. 10. X
companies, had orders to proceed to
Pabero. We crossed two rivers on our
march that night; 1t was hard one Of
Il miles, and told on the boys after be-

Everything here is 'bushwhacking.
Inc nlggers are a treacherous set of
people and they will try and sneak up

They are regular towards and are not
as good shots as we.
They'll have trenches in great style

us warmed up. The outposts were at

company was sent across the river.
We fianked them on their left, killing

and had to do picket duty all through
drenching rain. A bullet went
through my hat; it went in just over
my skull and came near finishing me,
One thousand shots were exchanged
An accident happened then which II

again.

All boys. and good many OF their
sisters, are fond of peanuts. Every
body knows that no circus is COM
plete without them, but probably not
many boys, nor girls either, know just
how they grow, says the New YORK
Times. The peanut is supposed TO be
native of Africa, where 1t forms the
chief food of certain regions, but IL is
found too, in South America and Eu-
rope, the species varying slightly In
the different countries. Here in the
United States 1t is cultivated chiefly In
Virginia, North Carolina and Tonnes
see. The seed planted Is the meat
the skins. The plant grows like
vine, and the nuts hang on to 1t like
pea pods. A single vine will, 1t Is estl-
mated, produce about one hundred nuts
If 1t Is of the average good condition.
At this rate the yield per acre is forty
bushels. Three varieties of these nuts
are grown here-the white, red and
the Spanish. They are readily distin-
guished, as they have individual char
acterlstics. The next time you eat
peanut with two kernels very white,
with pink skins, you will know it is
OF the white variety, which is the most
important. The she'll of the red nut
sometimes holds three or four dark
kernels, and its skin is of a decidedly
dark red. so you cannot mistake that;
while the Spanish nut is so much
smaller, with a lighter skin than
either of the others. that it will not
be mistaken for either. Nearly five
million bushels of peanuts are used in
this country every year.

Was watching for his coming from the
corner Of her eye.
His face was broad and honest, his
hands were brown and tough,
nhe clothes he wore upon him were
homespun, coarse, and rough;
But one there was who watched him
who long time fingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from
the corner of her eye.
He drove up to the market, he waited
in the line;
His apples and potatoes were fresh and
fair and fine.
But long and long he waited, and no
one came to buy,
Save the black-eyed rebel, watching
from the corner Of her eye.
snow, who will buy my apples?" he
shouted, long and loud
And, who wants my potatoes?" he
repeated to the crowd.
But from all the people round him
came no word of reply,
Save the black-eyed rebel, answering
from the corner of her eye.
For she knew that meath the lining of
the coat he wore that day
Mero long letters from the husbands
and the fathers far away,
Who were fighting for the freedom that
they meant to gain. or die;
And tear like silver glistened in the
corner of her eye.
But the treasures-how to get them?
creptthe question through hermind,
Since keen enemies were watching for
what prizes they might find;
and she paused awhile and pondered,
with pretty little sigh
Then resolve crept through her fea-
lures, and a shrewdness fired hereye.
30 she resolutely walked up to the
wagon old and red.
MAY have dozen apples for kiss?"
she sweetly said;
And the brown face flushed to scarlet,
for the boy was somewhat shy,
And he saw her laughing at him from
the corner Of her eye.
You may have them all for nothing,
ard mo e If YOU want quoth he.
Il will have them, my good fellow, but
cAn pay for Them" said she.
And she clambered ON the wagon, mind
ing not who all were by,
With laugh OF reckless romping in the
corner OF her eye.
Ciinging round his brawny neck. she
clasped her fingers white and small
And then whispered, Quick the letters
thrust them underneath my shawl!
carry back again this package, and be
sure that you are spryp
AND she sweetly smiled upon him from
the corner of her eye.
Loud the motley throng were laughing
at the strange, ungirlish freak;
And the boy was scared and painting.
and 30 dashed he could not speak.
And Miss, have good apples" a |
holder lad did cry;
But she answered, mo, thank you"
from the corner of her eye.
With the news of loved ones absent to |
the dear friend they would greet,
Searching for them who hungered for
them, swift she gllded through the
street.
There is nothing worth the doing that
1t does not pay to try"
Xnought the little black-eycd rebel with
a twinkle in her eye.
