 "Trenches, Manila, Philippine Islands,
 April 20.
 i've have just got back from a ten days march up around the lake, hav ing left the trench on the Sth of April, and we got back April 17. We had skirmish line three miles long and the men were stationed four feet from each other. We were on the go from the time we left until we got back, and are the most tired lot of boys you ever saw. We had to carry 200 rounds of shells, our blanket and poncho with two days rations. besides what he had on. We took seven towns, the largest being Santa Cruz, which is almost as large as the city of Manila, and was the first place we attacked after we left the trenches. We made charge on the place the first thing in the morning, had a hot fight with the insurgents and after while drove them out into a large rice field where we killed them off for fair. There were but six out of BOO that got away. It was a sight a fellow will never forget, no matter how long he lives. Just as we came up to this city there was a river to cross and only one bridge to cross on, while on the other side of this river the insur- gents were lined up behind their breast works and as we came up to the river they opened fire on us. Right here is where you ought to have seen our boys who let out one we'll then down the bank into the river, water up to our belts, but we went right across and up the other bank, firing all the time. The insurgents did not know what to make of such a charge as this, they never having been charged on before like that, and as it took all the sand out of them they broke loose and ran like wild cat tle. We were right or their heels and knocked them over as fast as we could load. Everywhere in the city you could see dead bodies lying around and out in the rice fields for days after We left there the next morning. Have taken six towns since and now are back in the trenches again, I am nearly sick, but we have to do duty just the same as we have only forty eight privates on duty, the rest are all sick in the bar

A GOOD SERMON.
But the Reporter Made a Mistake About
 It's Topic.

But the Reporter Made Mistake About Its Topic.
 A well known Milwaukee newspaper | man. the hero of the tale, was confront ed on Sunday evening many years ago with a problem which the reporter ire quently ncounters-namely, how to get
 three half-hour assignments into one hours time To dispose of two within that period was not difficult but when at o'clock the task of covering a ser mon delivered some fifteen minutes be- fore presented itself, the problem be- came more involved. The minister could not be reached, not could any of the congregation be located; conse- quently he chose the one alternative open, which was to take the subject announced in the morning paper and build up a notice from that. Whether or not this was wise is immaterial; the fact remains that he examined the files on his return to the office, found that the Rev. MT. Smith would speak on "Gambling," and set about to fake his story. Now ordinarily-that is, per haps-a brief notice might be made with some degree of safety with the material at hand, but in this instance the stock theme of gambling proved too great temptation to resist With a laudable ambition to display his yer satility, the reporter started to construct a sermon of his own, picturing the evils of the vice under discussion in fear less fashion, and even employing direct quotations to lend vividness to his ac- count. The story when completed was a gem, and the newspaper man turned his copy in with an "I-considerthat pretty-creditab air. And now comes the pathos which this tale in wolves. The Rev. MT. Smith called at the office on the following afternoon and inquired for the man who had re ported his sermon on the evening be- fore. Accordingly the reporter was summoned, and this is the conversation that ensued:
 "So you are the young man who wrote up my sermon, are you?'
 "Yes, sir" not without a slight mis- giving" Was anything the matter with it?"
 "No. young man, it was an excellent sermon, excellent and it expressed my sentiments exactly. But" and he laid a disagreeable emphasis on the word, "but there was one objection. My last

admiral. You half fear this famous idol of seventy millions of people will not see you. You take a seat aft and wait few moments. MT Brumby, the admirars flag lieutenant suddenly in- terrupts your reverie. "The admiral will see you,' he says, and you rise and follow him down to the admirars spa cious quarters. The door opens and a beautiful Chinese chow" dog bounds through before you and jumps up on the admirals legs, for the hero has arisen and is advancing to meet you. ''I am very happy to see you" he says. When did you come to Manila and what is the news from America? Take this chair" And the admiral, having shook hands, gets you chair and af- ter you are comfortable, takes one him. self and continues, almost before you have had chance to answer him,
 What do you think of my dog Bob, get down, charge-there Isn't he a beauty, though? He was sent to me from China-Bob, behave-for the great bouncing pet is trying to lick his hand
 Of course you feel at once at home and quite at your best. You launch into all the news at the end of your tongue and go away after half an hours chat to find yourself surprised at how inti- mately you know him.
 His mind once made up, his judgment never falters I know of more than one man who has mistaken Admiral Dewey's affabiIity for weakness, only to regret it bitterly. A well known instance in Ma nla was that of prominent newspaper correspondent, who was permitted the freedom of the flagship. One day this correspondent, who was frequently in the habit of chatting informally with the admiral, sauntered into Dewey's quarters and, interrupting him in his work, blurted out:
 Well, admiral, what are your plans regarding the future action here?"
 Plans? Plans?" the admiral replied in surprise. How dare you ask the plans of action for publication? Get off this ship, and don't you let me see you here again until you know more"
 The correspondent realized his mis- take, but too late. He got off, and has since been allowed to resign from the paper he represented. Admiral Dewey is one of the best specimens of Ameri- canism our country has produced. He is fearless to a point little short of reck- Not once, but every week, he visits the firing lines, and he takes chances that make every one present fear for his safety. His character shows that simplicity and approacha- bility are attributes of true worth, He is not averse to fondling his pet dog, not is he found wanting when the harsh of war are needed. When, one day, I showed him a number of photo- graphs of the dead insurgents, he ex- claimed:

HORSE MEAT FOR GAME.

Perdon, provision merchant of Par is, has been justly sent to prison for
 eight months on a charge of selling
 horse patties. There was no doubt in the least about his guilt, and he can
 never be held up to his contemporaries
 or to posterity as the victim of a judi cial error The bordereau in his case was small jar or pot which was pro- duced in court. It was marked outside with the mysterious letters "M. H. and the magic words pate de foie gras which generally appeal to epicures. This al- legged pot of goose liver was simply
 horse-f1esh, and, as an official analyst remarked in court, it was bad at that. Perdon also sold some pots or jars of al
 legged patties of duck, pheasant, quail, hare and lark, but they were all of the same foundation. He bought old horses in the knackers' yards, boiled their flesh, mixed it with a little pork fat, spiced it with nutmeg, ginger and cay enne pepper, poured some rum Sirsch or eau de vie over it, and then put it into the duly labelled pots, The letters M. H.. were originally intended to mean honorable mention, but being brought to bay in court Perdon tried to defend himself by asserting that they signified "melange hippophagique," and that surely the customers knew what they were buying. It was no wonder that the learned magistrate presiding in the Cor rectional court remarked, with more em- phasis than elegance, "Vous avez un rude toupet'-"Y ou have hard cheek. Perdon has been fooling his custom CTS with horse patties for the last eight years, He has now gone to rejoin in jail the man who sold skinned cats for rabbits and dead dogs for mutton.- Paris Correspondence of the London Telegraph.
