widely known that he had recently n
serious difference with the dean of his
college, the slip was intensely enjoyed.
The same reverend gentleman once
assured his hearers that they all knew
what 1t was to have "a half warmed
fish" within them. "a half-formed
wish" he meant. On another occasion
he referred to "Bon the BAPTIST" Feel
ing dimly that there was something
wrong, he tried to correct matters:

Another dear old college gentleman
had occasion to reprimand an under
graduate who had wasted two consecu-
tive terms in youthful folies. After
lecturing the delinquent severely in his
queerly high-pitched voice, the dean
finished by saying: 81 am sorry to
have to speak so severely to you, but

broken many rules of the college; you
have been ineorrigibly lazy, and, to

At the licensing session held in a GER
tain west-country town recently the
chairman, dealing with the statutory
limit of bona fide travellers and getting
his expressions little mixed, referred
to it as being "three miles as the flow
cries." A limb of the law who was
engaged in the case ventured to cor
rect his worship. With deferential
smile, this exponent tried to amend the
phrase: "Your worship means as the
fly crows'-or rather" he added hasti-
ly, "as the cry fowsv" No one was
sufficiently rash to make a further at
tempt.

ignorance, confusion of ideas, or abb

On inquiry we found the ship
had been so close to land that the
captain felt obliged to turn back
for fear of being run on the shore,
as the engines could not keep the
boats head to the wind. so we sim
ply rolled with the waves. Friday
was simply repetition of Wednes-
day and Thursday, except that the
wind was less violent and the waves
higher.
Saturday morning dawned bright
and clear, and OH what "a shout of
JOY went up as the matches were
opened and the men streamed on
deck, having been below since
Wednesday night.

but our engines seemed to gather
new life and push us on toward

A Letter From Manila.
PAsAY, LUzoN, p. L.,
Oct. 5, 1899.

My DEAR FATHER AND ALL-Be-
fore this reaches you, my other
short letter from the Colum bia,
Just before landing, will be there
to show that | am safe and sound.
Now that | have chance, | will
endeavor to take up the thread of
my journey just where it was
dropped, on entering Honolulu
harbor.
We steamed into the port at A
p. m. Saturday, Septem ber l6, and
dropped anchor amid waving flags
and welcoming whistles. 1t was
regatta day, and all the boats were
decked in holiday bunting The
vessel was Immediately surrounded
by native boys in the water, wait
ing to dive for nickels. Such ex-
hibitions of swimming / never ex-
pect to see again unless | can visit
Honolulu.
The city is lost in mass of lux
uriant vegetation, magnificent
palms, in any mum ber of varieties,
shading all the houses. Every
thing is scrupulously clean, and
the natives all tend toward corpu-
lency. Our corps was divided,
one part going on shore half day,
then the other. In that way we
had chance to do all the shop
ping necessary to our long trip
ahead.
Sunday morning Duffey and /
went out, strolled over good por-
ton of the town drinking in all
the tropical scene possible, and
keeping on the lookout for sights.
We were too early, however, so we
headed for the docks, looked over
the shipping, and finally wound
up at the break water, whore we
went in for swim. After cutting
ourselves repeatedly on the coral,
we started back to the ship.
In the evening it came our turn
to go on shore again, so we landed
in Chinese restaurant and had
good old ham and egg dinner.
There the decision was made to at
tend church, so we entered the first
one found, and spent an evening
in a Hawaiian church. 1t was the
Central Union church, Rev VIM.
Morris Kincaid, pastor. The SER
mon, on THE Secret of Wisdom"
was very pleasing and the music
good, so we felt perfectly contented
with the one day.
Monday morhing bright and ear
ly we again started out to shop.
The streets were alive with people
and presented very picturesque
view to man raised in colder
cline. We bought fruit, sugar
cane, canned goods and books.
The stores are nicely kept, all
clerks speak enough English to be
understood and prices are very
reasonable. In fact, it is an ideal
tropical city.
Our shopping done, we returned
to the ship in time to work hard
with man who was foolish enough
to drink some native drink which
made him crazy for some time.

the other mem bers of the corps.
Three soldiers slowed away on
board and next morning reported
to the Colonel, who put them in
the guard house until we should
reach Manila.
About ten days out we encoun-
tered calm weather, with the sea
smooth as glass, and so clear that
you could see the fish some dis
tance from the surface.
The ships officers seemed very
uneasy when the wind began to
blow shortly after this, and all
awnings were slowed away and
everything made ready for storm.
The sea continued to run higher
until about the second of October,
when the boat began to ship seas
occasionally. BY night the ship
was rocking terribly, with pro
peller out of water a great deal.
| stayed in the hospital that night
and while there one of the men
was severely injured by bunch
of hatchway covers breaking loose,
pinning him to the rail. He made
two patients in the ward, one
case of typhoid.
The next day the wind blew
tiercely and waves came higher, so
in the evening the men were or
dered below and all hatchways
battened down. l stayed in the
dispensary that night and next
morning the wind would sweep ev-
erything loose off the deck, so that
a man practically took his life in
his hand that went out, as they had
to, to get food and water for the
others.
In the course of the night five
out of our six boats were smashed
and rendered useless, while the
waves rolled from one end of the
boat to the other continually.
AT noon one of the boys, Foster,
from the general hospital at Presi-
dio, brought can of beef and
beans to the dispensary and we
proceeded to make a dinner, at the
same time watching the waves roll
on deck and come in every crack, as
the door was swelled so it could
not be shut tightly. Just as we
were finishing, wave with a roar
like an avalanche came clear over
the midship deck, struck our door
and window, caved them in like SO
much paper, crushed us both to
the floor with bottles. and other
articles, forced in the partition be-
tween the dispensary and one hos
pital ward, finally subsiding. Fos-

the hospital, we began to collect

There was lots of excitement in Di-
mond hall yesterday. Since the state
hired the hall there have been no
dances there. and the hall has been al
most forgotten. Up TO that time the
hall had been the scene of many pleas
ant times The trouble yesterday was
due to the bursting of a water pipe.
There were no KEYS TO the hall handy,
SO while the noise Of gurgllng water
troubled other tenants in the building
a messenger was sent post haste TO
Gen. Walker. The general hurried up
without waiting to put on the adorn-
ments of his official position. and the
water was shut off and the pipe fixed.
An arrangement has been made to have
the keys handy In the future. so that
when the water gets unduly troubled
aver the absence of the temperance
men ws for many years occupied the
hall it's expressions of grief can be
