This Time 1t Was a Man.

"The querest letter l ever saw
in my life" said a Washington
newspaper man who was in the
city recently, twas shown me at
the home of an army officer now
on duty in the war department. 1t
is written in lead on a couple OF
thin slabs of grayish-white stone,
each about six inches long and
two inches broad, and its story is
rather romantic. When General
Crook was chasing the Apache
Chief Geronimo across Southern
Arizona in 1885, the officer to
whorl [ refer commanded a com.
pany of infantry, and while the
main command pushed west along
the Gila river he took a couple OF
troops and struck out southwark
on a reconnoitre.
"They had been gone about two
weeks, suffering all manner Of
hardships and living exactly like
the Indians themselves, when the
captain decided to send one Of his
men back with verbal report.
He was anxious to embrace the
opportunity to also dispatch a
letter to his sweetheart, who was
then a young belle in Washington
society, but there was not a scrap
of paper of any kind in the party,
nor as much as a mOrsel Of pencil.
Knowing she was eagerly await
ing news from the front he racked
his brain and finally noticed some
smooth fragments Of limestone
that had chipped off from a near
by ledge.
"That solved the problem. He
selected two fat pieces, drew a
pistol cartridge from his belt |
and scrawled his letter with the
poit of the bullet. Laying the
stones face to face. so that the
writing would not be rubbed off
by abrasion, he tied them firmly
together with strips of a hand
kerchief and inscribed the address
ON the outside. Nothing remain
ed but to affix the stamps, which
the trooper promised to do as soon
as he struck camp. He put the
parcel in his blouse. got through
in safety, although he had several
hairbreadth escapes, and mailed
It at Maricopa. 1t required Is
,ents' postage, and the date mark
IS SIN quite legible. I need hard
" say th0t the lady prizes this
strange epistle above all the souv-
Mrs which now I'll her beaui-

sleep Nithout iliiONs
1t is hardly likely that the pill
low was invented by anyone il
particular. 1t was in the first in
stance, there is every reason tC
believe, a very ratiopal institu
ton. and consisted OF u small pad
upon which to rest the head
when beds were by no means such
luxurious affairs as they are to
day.
The pillows in use today are re-
sponsible for many evils, which
you may be willing to admit when
they are pointed out to you, and
If you would but test the efficacy
Of their disuse you would become
MS ardent an advocate Of the Gus
tom as is the writer.
There is no greater lallacy than
the belief that a big, downy pill
low conduces to restfulness and
health in sleeping. You sink i'm
to its embrace, and delude your
self that you are comfortable,
with your head resting upon the
dear, soft, cozy mass of feathers.
Yet, if the pillow slips away from
sou in your sleep, do you miss its
seemingly soothing influence?
No. And if you can sleep thus
comfortably and not know it, why
should you not have the courage
to put it away altogether?
The pillow may seem to breathe
out beautiful dreams to you; but
while it is beguiling Vour atten-
tion with it's seeming reStfulness
it may be pushing your ears out
of shape, and it is certainly max
ing wrinkles in your neck and
deepening the hollows over your
chest by forcing the head forward.
LIT may seem a little thing in it.
self; but, happening every night,
it will rob you of all the beauty
your neck would naturally have
and nullify the good of any exer-
else you may take. Aside from
the benefits to be derived in a
neck and chin, to sleep
without a pillow will conduce to
health and greater restfulness.
1t may seem strange at first, even
a bit painful, but if persevered in
you can very soon overcome this,
and the good to be derived will
well repay you.

VINITANS AT MANILA.
Letter from Ed. HaIseII, the
Globe TrOtter.

HorEL DE oRrENrE, MANILA, P. l., Nov.G 0.
Mrs. w. W.C.Patton, Dear Mother;-
After being rocked by earthquakes
in Japan, and tossed by the seas,
we got to China, with her four
hundred millions of pigtail s.
There we ran up against the black
and bubonic plague-they don't
pay any attention to smallpox or
even-year itch. So far they have
not touched us, only our pocket
books. A globe trotter gets touch
ed right; spending this free silver
is like feeding a horse fodder; it
takes lot to buy anything. Any
man that talks free silver is fool
and don't know what it means.
We had an awful time getting from
Hong Kong here. The boat did
everything but turn over and we
all thought what fools we were to
leave home. But we have seen
many queer things; some OF the
animals these people work, Bar
nun ought to have in his circus.
/ have seen COW worked to a
street sprinkler all day and milk
ed at night. Here they use buffalo
for work oxen, and street scene
in this country would make fine
circus in America. Styles! These
Filipinos wear low necks and short
sleeves morning, noon and night,
with trains to them. Our Amer
ican girls tried to wear pants or
bloomers but the men made such
howl they gave it up. In China
the ladies have been wearing pants
for four hundred years. ..1s%- .-
This city is under martial law
after $50 p. m. and no one is al
lowed on the street after that time
without pass. A soldier killed
Chinaman a few nights ago be-
cause he wouldn't stop when told
to halt, and if you get Chinaman
out after dark now you will have
to pull him out with an inch rope.
In June the insurgents tried to
burn the city and our men killed
four hundred of them, There are
not many men in the city now but
lots OF women and children, SO
think Uncle Sans boys will have
a good many to kill yet. Rained
every day since we have been here
and it is a common occurrence for
It to rain fourteen inches in TWEEN |
ty-four hours. We will be here
uatil the 24th inst, as cannot get
a boat before then. Will be due
at Caclutta December Is, Bombay
January 10. These people look
about like the Mexicans or Cubans,
or the tailings OF the French or
Spanish; are generally small in
,tature, with straight and coarse
hair.
It's no little job taking a trip
around the world and I'll never
Try it again. It's hardly worth
he punishment you get in food,
beds. etc. | send you some Man
la papers under another cover.
Our American news over here is
very stale. We have had no let
ers since we left home and but

WHAT CAN WE DO,


Please insert this, that the Board
of Education and public may read
A poor little over-worked white
woman with five pretty little girls
and one little boy to support-fac.
ing this colo world without mouey
or friends, for if she has any they
are not in evidence-was arrested
last Monday evening by Joe Guer
70, a Guam Spanish school police
man.
l was eye. witness to his using
the full power of a policeman the
next day when he took her from
the court room as the judge was
entering, took her down stairs told
them to open the iron gate OF
shame and leading petty little
Laura. only ten summers, she
walked down that gangwsy
amongst the gang of dirty beso'ted
men aud climbed that golden back
stair way to the prisoners dock.
You would have cried to see the
outrage committed. A good law
and our civilized Bureau of Edu-
cation so abused. May it never
again occur to en- honest woman in
Hawaii.
That bitter experience with pov.
erty might cause that woman to
cease honest struggling and obtain
money in an easier way. For the
sake of her pretty bright children,
God forbid.
This is an honest case of bread
before A B G. The mother talks
English, the oldest girl reads, they
know enough and are ambitious
enough to send the children 10
school, if they could. Why have
police judge humble the law to
them. The party that say
School" has got to say BREAD"
first. The mother was married at
thirteen and is not yet thirty.
Five baby girls, fine outfit for
our 10Th century Board Of Educs :
ton to send a policeman after. To
make matters worse a man that is
prosecuting the woman for his
own purposes sent letter to the
Marshal and he had to arrest; he
knows his biz; acted under orders
from the Board, etc; you can't
talk to him at all.
Now what that little Spanish
Guam policeman did to that wo.
man, causing suffering and shame,
the power is with him to do the
same to your wife, mother, sister
aud it's not in the improbabilities,
if one of your children played tru.
ant, that he wouldn't.
/ will make three suggestions,
if / may presume to suggest to a
Board Of Education, l will sug-
Rest to enlightened public opipi.
on.
lst-Let a school policeman
hours of duty be confined to GER.
tain hours of daylight. Why
should school policeman be al.
lowed to disturb the home of
lone woman and little children in
the night. From now on the Board
of Education should teach that
Home" is sacred.
End - Curtail the power of the
school policemen. To give them
the full power of policeman I'M
fits them to enter your premises
and interview your family either
in or ought of business hours.
Finally l suggest for the serious
Of the Board of
Education, the employing of wo.
men for school police. You know
yourselves, that, it lie woman's
and not a mans job. That no
man with manly instincts and cor
rect ideas would have it. There
are capable, poor, honest women
in the country that need it and
will do the work better o.

Death Of Jane. 1ab,er.

After an illness of two weeks James
Tabler died on Monday afternoon of this
week. He had complained Of pains in
his head for three months and a post
morton examination showed that he died
of brain trouble.
Deceased was about 80 years of age
and was from Indiana, Pa. He had been
employed at Zimmerman's saddlery shop
for two years or more and did not have
an enemy in Dickinson. Jimmy" as he
was called, was kind, generous and al
ways showed a spirit of contentment.
Little is known of deceased's relitives
and no word could be received from them
before burial which took place on Tues
day. Services were conducted from the
Catholic church.
Mr.. Zimmerman, as employer of de-
ceased, did everything in his power to
make his last days easy; and the same
spirit was shown by Frank Easton who
had worked with him at the bench, and
many others who knew him best.
