work of the morning, and in two cases
entire shells, both lying near the trail,
which ran gigzag up the hill. AT the
top we found the well-made wooden
blockhouse in the center of quad
rangle made by stone breastworks.
Preparations had been begun to lay
out rather extensive defensive works
here; but the Spaniards haG evidently
abandoned their project with great
suddenness, for tools of all descriptions
were scattered about. Little pegs with
tape stretched between them, pieces of
paper with rough drawings, pencils,
drinking cups, cans and tin plates
showed that something had caused
these workmen to quit very soon after
breakfast; and the nice little round
holes in the sides of the forth sug-
gested the reason.
There was huge Flagstaff at one
corner of the quadrangle, and at once
thought of hosting our flag on that;
but there were no halyards rove to hoist
the flag by, though there was plenty OF
line lying about.
AS neither Plat nor Wright could
climb, 1 took off my shoes and CATERS,
and swarmed up the pole, carrying the
line with me. Great was my disap-
pointment, on getting near the top, to
see that there was no block or pulley
through which L could reeve the line.
A Spanish flag had been flown, but it
had been nailed to the pole, and they
had left it flying night and day until
it whipped to pieces.
AS l started down the pole, Platt I'M
wound the flag, and, standing up ON
one corner of the breastworks, waved
it violently in the air. Its appearance
was the signal for a great demonstra-
ton on the part of the fleet. Nearly
every ship blew her whistle, and the
cheers of the men were heard even
above this vast footing.
Ordering Platt--who had stolen my
thunder by first showing the tlag-to
come help me, by means of pole
placed against the building l now
climbed up to the roof of the forth.
Platt, from the inside, with a crow
bar broke hole through the very apex
Of the roof, and Sergt. Wright passing
me the ensign, l hoisted the United
States flag over the first Spanish forti-
fication we had captured.

RAINY-DAY ADJUSTMENTS.
Some Simple Indoor Games That
VIII Interest and Instruct
the Children.

In preparing for the summer holiday
do not forget the rainy days that will
surely come, but provide occupation for
the active minds that cannot eXhale
their restlessness in outdoor exercises.
Take few games, like that of Artist"
played on the same principle as the IA
vorite Authors" The little cuts re-
produce famous pictures, such as the
"Sistine Madonna" Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds' angel Heads" which are, in
reality, portraits of one child, Isabella
Kerr Gordon in different positions.
They familiarize the child with the
world-famous pictures, as well as with
some good examples of modern art, like
the Knaus Madonna" Puzzle-books
to cut out, painting-books, beads to
string, kindergarten practice-cloth for
sewing, paper dolls and soldiers, de-
signs for paper cutting, with pair Of
blunt scissors and a paste-pot and
brush, will furnish congenial employ
ment for the younger ones. If the per-
son in charge of the children will see
that they do not get wet, let them have
clay pipes and soapy water, and DloS
bubbles.-Ladies' Home Journal.

MISS LIZY'S CIRCULATION.

'NIiss Lily" as she was known in the
mountain region of the upper Cumber-
land, was a spruce spinster of 40 or
thereabouts, and it was generally I'M
derstood that she would be willing to
wed if sufficiently urged. She owned
good little creek farm, was thrifty,
and for some cause unknown she had
acquired the title of Miss" that af1ix
of the Christian name of women not
being usual among the mountaineers.
Her neighbor was one James Hogue,
widower, who owned farm adjoining
Miss Lizy's. One day she came into
the company's commissary, and calling
me off to remote corner, she fairly
blazed with wrath as she made me her
confidant.
Il s'pose you know, colonel" she ex-
claimed, in hoarse whisper, that fool
Jim Hogue that lives adj'inin' to my
place."
She knew l knew Mr.. Hogue, but she
seemed to want my spoken testimony
on the point, and told her knew him.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
tured Spanish Fertilization at
Dniquiri, Cuba.

DIR. Henry La Motto, formerly major
and surgeon to the regiment, continues
in the st. Nicholas his story of the
rough riders and describes the first
raising of the American flag above a
captured Spanish fortitiacation.
At eight o'clock on the morning of
June %, 1898, the United States trans
port Yucatan found herself lying off
the little cove and village of Daiquiri,
Cuba. She was loaded with two squad
rons eight troops) of the First United
States volunteer cavalry, of which regi-

MES of regular infantry; and baggage,
rations and ammunition for these
troops.
We were all eagerly watching the ac-
tions of half dozen men-of-war that,
scattered along few hundred yards
from shore, were pounding away with
rapid-fire guns at every object on the
beach that might be suspected of har-
boring a soldier of Spain.
Two hours of this work satisfied the
naval officers that no very obstinate OPP
| position would be made to the landing
of the troops, and then we began to
disembark-
Coils Wood and Roosevelt and were
through the help of the commanding
officer of the Vixen, allowed to land
before ourturn.
Perhaps not more than a thousand
men had then landed. Gen. Wheeler
was already on shore, and to Col. Wood
he at once assigned camp-ground,
which our colonies proceeded to make
ready.
When / first saw him, Gen. Wheeler
was lamcnting that, SO far, no Ameri-
can flag had been brought ashore. Now,
/ had noticed that among the various
articles carried by the orderly trum-
peter who had landed in the boat with
me was the silk flag of our Arizona
squadron. 1t had been presented by
the ladies of Phoenix, .lriz., was a
beautiful piece of silk, and very gayly
decorated with ribbons. Being in a
long canvas cover with some tent
equipage, it's character had not been
discovered. l reported to the general
that / was sure one of our flags had
come ashore, and offered to send it to
him. He said he merely wished to plant
it in conspicuous place, as matter
of sentiment, and to cheer up the men
who had not yet been able to leave the
ships.
Having no real duties at this time,
volunteered to take this flag and plant
it upon the blockhouse, or fortin, as it
Ii called by the Spaniards, which
srowns the steep hill to the eastward,
overlooking the little town. The gen
eral accepted my offer, and after having
found the flag and told the orderly
trumpeter to carry it, l started up the
steep side of the hill.
An Infantry sergeant named Wright,
seeing us start into the bushes alone,
offered to go along as guard. Wright
carried his rifle, and / att (the orderly
trumpeter) and | relieved each other
carrying the flag, which, with its pole
and trimmings, was quite heavy. 1t
took MS about half an hour to climb
the hill. All the way up we encountered
pieces of shells. traces of the navy's

denim tion.

The rich natives who had become
masonsin Spain formed masonic lodges
when they returned to Manila. Their
history is preserved by those writer's
who find in masonry the key of all in
EQUITIES. There is even an awful tale of
a female lodge in operation in Manila.
Doubtless these lodges were more or
less given to political intrigue, as in
other countries where masonry is I'M
der the ban of authority and religion,
but they had no definite political pro.
gramme. In 1892, rich and intellectual
natives returning from Spain organized
the Liga Filipino, to promote educa-
tional and industrial progress with a
view to national regeneration and ul-
innate liberation. This association
did not long survive repressive meas
ures, and its influence was captured by
a rival, the Katipunan, which was con-

CHILD'S PLAYHOUSE.
II IL Built In Sections md Can Bo
Put Up I'm Entirely Different
Ways.

There is really no reason nowadays
houses of their own, for portable struc-
lures for lawn and garden use are
manufactured.
One house of this sort is six feet fouf
inches wide, nine feet six inches long
and eight feet nine inches tall from the
floor to the point of the gable. This
house has one door and one window.
The window is divided vertically in the
middle, the two halves opening back on
hinges at the side edges. The door has
glazed sash in its upper part, and it
has also lock and key.
These houses are built in sections,
and they can be put up in different
ways; that is, they can be set up with
the door in the front and the window
in one end of the house, or they can be
set up with both the door and the win
dow in front; the sections are inter-
changeable.
There is provided for use with the
house a veranda roof, which is made in
sections of the same width as the Sec
tons of the house itself, so that these
yeranda sections can be put up to-
gether, making a continuous veranda
along one side of the house, or they can
be put up one over door and one over
a window.
There are made also, for use with
these playhouses if desired, outside

dows. The gable ends of this house.
under the roof, are shingled; the sido
walls are of matched pine, as is also the
floor, which is made in two sections.
This house can be put up and taken
down in few minutes.
All sorts of furniture in suitable
small sizes can be bought for the fur
nishing of these houses, including
chairs and tables and settees and vari-
Gus other articles in wood and in wick
erwork, handsome little desks, and
everything needed for parlor or library
or diningroom, and there can DO
bought for kitchen and other uses the
most complete outfits, including stoves
OF the most modern description and
equipped with every sort of cooking
utensil, and .here can be had also little
washing machines and ironing boards,
and so on.
The playhouse, in fact, whether /, be
of one room or more, can be furnished
as completely as a house of ordinary
size.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

How to Paper Whitewashed Walls.

1t Is difficult to make paper stick to
walls that have been made smooth by
frequent whitewashing. The smooth
finish may be scooped off or the surface
may be changed with coat of paste.
If you decide to use the paste, make it
in the following manner: Put one pint
of flour in saucepan and beat it into
one quart of cold water. When smooth
add two quarts of boiling water, STIR
ring all the time. Let this boil up once,
then strain and cool. Brush this paste
over the walls and allow it to dry. When
you are ready to paper, wet the walls,
spread paste on the paper, and hang it

ANECDOTES OF INGERSOLL.
Eli Perkins Gives Some Amusing
"Reminiscences of the Great
ASnoStic.

When l was writing my Kings of
Platform and Pulpit" Robert Ingersoll
Kindly sent me what he called his
greatest lecture, Liberty of Man,
Woman and Child" with many other
of his most brilliant sketches.
"In using my speeches. he wrote.
do not use any assault have thought
lessly made on Christ, which l foolish
ly made in my early life. With Renen,
believe Christ was the one perfect
man. 'Do-unto-others' is the perfec-
ton of religion and morality. 1t is
the sumTum bonum. 1t was loftier
than the teachings of Socrates, Plato,
Mohammed, Moses or Confucius. 1t
superseded the Commandments that
Moses claimed to have gotten from God,
for with Christ's do-unto-others there
could be no murder, lying, covetous-
ness or war. 1t superseded Greek pa
triotism, Roman fortitude, or Anglo
Saxon bravery, for with do-unto-oth-
ers, bravery and patriotism would not
be needed"
Mr.. Ingersolfs arguments were of the
reductio adj absurdum kind. One day
in talk on the ears with Talmage he
said:
"Then you would like to have place,
Brother Talmage, where everyone had
to be good by law?"
Certainly" said Talmage.
'You would like to live where every
one had to go to church regularly every
Sunday?"
''Yes, that would suit me-"
''Where no man could get a drink,
and swearing was not permitted ?"
'Ies; that's the place for me-"
"And where every man would have
to keep regular hours?"
"That would be Heaven on EARTH"
said Talmage, smiling and striking his
knee with his open palm.
"Well," said Bob, looking over his
glasses, you'd bettergou Sing Sing.
That's the way they do there"
Beecher was very fond of Bob Inger-
soil. Ingersoll's republicanism, anti
slaveryism and patriotic love for Grant
and his soldiers won Beecher This is
why he introduced him to his Plymouth
church audience. Still, Beecher was
always joking with the great agnos-
tic.
One day l asked the great divine if he
really liked Ingersoll.
81 can't help it, he said. 81 love all
my fellow men," and then he added
with humorous solemnity: "And
say now, when Robert Ingersoll dies
whether he goes to Heaven or hell, /
1 wish him joy."
1t is an old story that / have told
many times, but the death of the loved
agnostic makes it new again.
When Ingersoll was thrilling audi
ences with his great lecture on Rob
ert Burns" Beecher went to hear him
in Chicago. At the Palmer house I
asked him how he liked it.
'It was wonderful entertainment"
said Beecher. 'He held his audience
every minute. He is great genius,
and 1 should like to write his epitaph."
"What would you write?" / asked.
"Oh,' said Beecher, as he rubbed his
two front fingers on his thoughtful
brow, sit would be a short epitaph. 1t
would simply be:
