TOO MUCH FOR QUAY.
The Result of Speech She Did Not
Forget

The Result of Speech She Did Not
Forget.
Mrs. Dave" Martin is the woman
who blocks the realization of the po-
litical ambition of Senator Quay. She
is clever political manager and knows
more about the science of official moves
than three-fourths of the men. Her
husband consults her before putting
any project into execution, and they
talk over" everything political to-
gether before a decision is reached that
means future action.
When Quay arose in the senate and
made his memorable reference to the
dollar mark and the collar, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dave" Martin talked that over.
Dave" said Mrs. Martin, well re-
member this I'VE WILL" said Mr..
Martin.
The thing they both promised to re-
member happened back in 1895. 1t came
about in this way:
There was a big mayoralty fight on
in Philadelphia. The republicans were
divided into combines and anti-com-
bines Senator Quay wanted Boies
Penrose, now Junior United States
senator from Pennsylvania, to be
mayor.
Dave Martin had acquiesced in
Quay's plan. He talked Penrose on
the very eve of the nominating con-
yention.

A CRUEL JOKE.
A False List of Dead and Wounded Clrcu-
lated in the Falls.

A False List of Dead and Wounded Clrcu-
lated in the Falls.
Great Falls, Feb. S.-American humor
is keen to catch the ludicrous in any
situation or event, no matter how Seri-
Gus such event may be intrlnsically.
Foreign critics have said that the Yam
KEGS were none too delicate in this re-
spect, but whatever truth there may
be in this, one thing is certain, and
that is, American humor stops at least
just this side of wanton cruelty, men
TIA! or physical. 1t does not approve of
such so-called joke as that
which H.. was as. penetrated Yesterday
many an anxious mother or sis
ter or father. Some fool or fools who
evidently rely on nervous ganglia
rather than brains to carry them
through life thought it would be an
excellent piece of fun to create scare
in this city. There had been a fight in
the Philippines, possibly some men had
been killed and the number might in
clude one or more of those dear to peo-
pie here. They manufactured list of
killed and wounded and mad the news
carried through the town, particularly
to those who might be supposed to care
whether a dear relative or friend had
been killed. The joke was only par
tia1 success. 1t reached only the male
portion of the community, and these
had ready access to the newspaper Of
fees. where the report was, Of course,
quickly shown to be false, but it sue
ceeded in making many man anxious
for few minutes.
1t was joke. But the man who can
enjoy that sort of thing would enjoy
seeing knife jabbed into his favorite
dog or horse. He would gloat over the
recollection of having dubbed his wife
or his mother to death. He should for
enjoyment frequent abattoirs and seek
admission to scenes of capital punish
ment, but for the sake of humanity at
large he should be confined within
stone walls and If possible in solitary
cell. That is humor which has reached
it's second childhood, where the torture
of cats and dogs becomes a delight be-
cause the innate cruelty of the thing is
not perceived. When human beings are
the victims a halt should be called.

f1:30 at night, and caused quite a bit
of commotion for the time. Not one
of the company hesitated in the least
about getting up, DOMINIC his field uni

coutrements of war. We fell in and
waited for some time when we We're
given command to fall out and retire
to our canvas cots to resume our SUM
bers from which we had previously been
disturbed. And such it is. Any moment
in the night we may be awakened to
suppress some false alarm or insurgent

to duty you will never find any of Com
pany A lacking. This 1 have learned
from experience.
Our musical trio, consisting of Bull

antly passed in rendering a few select
pieces of music to the assembled ad
mirerS.
1.-THE native Filipino is possessed of
much musical talent, of which he takes
liberal advantage. Our trio and a cou-
pie of others have accepted invitations
to sup with the prison warden at the
penitentiary next Sunday evening. A
rare time, don't you think. For the past
week our regiment has been furnishing
the outpost with a detachment of AZ
men daily, taken from a different COM
pany each day. Tomorrow is Company
AS turn. and Captain First Lieutenant
|, as sergeant, the corporals and Sc
privates will take one days rations and
proceed to the rice fields in close prox-
unity to the insurgents, to engage in
outpost duty.
I'VE are having very pleasant weather
lately. The days are somewhat warm,
the evenings very chilly, necessitating
IAN overcoat on guard, and our army
blankets are utilized more than ever
during this supposed to be dry and hot

late to beloved ones our experiences in
