SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES.



Emanuel Levy was working
and ambitious drummer in the wooden
cloth line. His route lay through the
omaller towns in western New York,
and his employers expected him to
cover" about five of them each day he
was out. Emanuel always tried to reach
at the end of the day one of the larger
cities having good hotels. so that he
would not have to endure the hardshipS
incidental to the hard beds and harder
diet of the average country hosiery.
On enc occasion he had had an espec-
tally tiresome day, owing TO railway
delays, and did not reach Rochester
until almost midnight He went as
usual TO the X House. where he was
accustomed to stay, and where he was
well Known.
Sorry. old man. said the clerk. but
we haven't got a room in the house.
Fireman's convention here today. ana
they're sleeping in cots in the parlor-"
But you've got to take care of me-
rejoined Emanuel. Il was never so
tired in my life, and there isn't train
out OF here tonight What do you
mean. anyway, by filling your house up
with firemen Who will never come here
again and turning away regular Gus
tomers?"

Hold on a minute-perhaps can fix
you. Do you mind sleeping on a cot?"
Sleeping on a cot? Why, I'd sleep on
a key of nails
well, in the little room off AZ there's
cot In AZ We've got a sporting man,
with big bank roll. There's no lock on
the door between the rooms, and he
made US promise we wouldn't put any
one in there But if you'll be on the
dead level, go in quietly and get out
the same way before he's up, you can
sleep there
Sure. L won't make noise enough to
wake mouse"
Levy went up to the room. In about
three-quarters of an hour he came
down again, partly dressed, and with a
look of horror on his face.
''Mein Colt. Billyp' he exclaimed, as
he reached the desk, ..but that mans
dead"
Yes. knew he was dead" replied
Billy, but how did you find II out?'

Manila, July 14.-Lake Laguna de
Bay is being patrolled by troops of the
Fourth cavalry, under Captain McGraw,
and the army gunboat Napidan, COM
manded by Lieutenant Larsen. The
force makes Its headquarters on an
island, living on cascoes, in which the
men are towed about to make uneX-
pected visits to towns where there are
small forces OF insurgents, for the pur-
pose Of keeping the rebels moving.
On Tuesday the troops had an engage
ment at MantJupa, on the south shore Of
the lake. They found 800 insurgents
there, intrenched near the shore. The
Napdan shelled the rebels, and party
Of American troops, numbering 1875,

too strongly intrenched for the small
force to attack them.

without considering the difficulties OF the
situation. Experience shows that dur
ing the rains operations will be much re-
stricted and possibly suspended en-
tirely.
The Americans are now exchanging
the veteran volunteer regiments for so
called regulars, who are really SO per
cent recruits,
The opinion is general here that it will
require Il comparatively large force to
re-establish peace, because it will be nec-
essary to garrison many places in order
to protect the peaceful natives from the
insurgents.
General Otis however, still believes
that the 10000 effective troops will be
sufficient.
