Letter from Manila.

We take the following extracts from a
letter dated Jan. 8, 1899, written by
Edw. NJ. Andrews, of Co. B. LIST. North
Dakota Volunteers, now at Manila, to
E. B. Rice of the Standard Drug Store:
| do not like this country very much.
Every thing is different to what I've been
used to, even the food is 80 radically diff
ferent that | cannot content myself here
and will be glad when the time comes
again to go home. Shall consider my
travelling at an end then for I've all the
globe trotting desire.
1T is not so cold here as in North Da-
kota but I've found things worse than
cold to contend with.
Have seen the great Dewey and find him,
like all great men, a very nice gentleman,
have had the honor of answering quite a
number of questions the Admiral put to
me while was on grand duty at Fort
Malate which Dewey's guns played so
much havoc with. B and 6 Co.'S are
quartered at Fort Malate and the Gable
station. Our Co (B) guard the Fort which
is the advanced out post of our lines,
The Insurgent camp is but short dis
tance from our lines. If the Negroes
should make rush to take the city ours
would be the first Co. in the scrap. We
have an exposed position but must hold
it to the last man
The 18th OF Aug. we were under tre
during the entire attack upon Manila.
We acted as reserves for the Astor Bat
terry and 23rd U. S. Infantry, twice
during a pinch we were moved up so
close to the firing line that we could
touch the regulars of the 23rd, but we
never got chance to fire shot except
ing some twenty men from my Co. who
held an outpost all night of the 10Th,
within $50 yards of the Spanish line. !
was lucky enough to be one of the TWEEN
ty and we fired about 81 volleys into the
Spaniards when they first opened up.
About six O'Clock in the eve were ordered
by the 23rd Regulars and marched about
mile to the rear where we lay until
after. the bombardment, having been on
duty since the morning of the 18th and
having no sleep in all that time. slept
during most of the wait. When we got
into town we had to turn around and
keep the insurgents at bay, my Co. and
6 Co. held about 5000 of them back in a
narrow street all the afternoon and
night of the 18th. Then was the time
expected to see some fun but they just
howled and loaded their guns and rung
in a big bluff on us. After they saw us
line up and load our guns they cooled
down some and after they left their guns
outside we let them cross our lines. We
had great time that day. We lost one
man killed, and another wounded. From
the amount OF lead fired at us it is won.
deriul how we escaped but it nearly all
went high.
am glad it is over and will be gladder
when we get hack to North Dakota. We
may have to scrap the PHILIPPINES but
hope not for the more trouble we have

Business Practice

Is the only method Of teaching book
keeping that proves satisfactory to
intelligent boys and girls.
The average boy does not enter a
profession but goes into business OF
some kind. 1t is therefore only
reasonable that he should receive a
preparatory training in practical
business line.
Our method of teaching proves of
inestimable value to young men who
expect to work on a farm or in a
store or shop. OF all systems OF
teaching this is the one that gives the
pupil the greatest returns for his time
and money.
