niggers made a stand there, but u line
in it's irrepressible advance came right up
to the very gate. You ought to have seen
those Amigos" get out Of that grave
yard! They ieaped the walls like deer.
Dozens of them were killed right there.
Here the Third artillery made a foolish
move. They came around the right of
the yard. thus bringing themselves in
front Of our fire. We checked ourselves
just in time, for we thought it was the
enemy. We chased the savages for about
half a mile after that, killing nan of
them. We fought just two hours n a
half. I tried my best to get a Mauser
ahead of me. Yet there are plenty
chances to get one. We We're much
fatigued by u hard work, but We had
to sleep without blankets. For the first
time since I left Montana 1 felt the need
of a fire. We built one and enjoyed it
immensely. - 't

here to have taken part in our battles.
No doubt you have wished the same
yourself. The fresh air of the country is
fine. We have a little fighting every day
or so, but nothing to speak of. Evidently
the niggers haven't got collected together
again since the spreading out we gave
them. They fired on our outposts yes

Slams Million PrIestr.

According TO n lecture on Siam deliv-
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that country has more than its
share OF priests. The population of
Siam, he said, amounted TO about
100000, and n curious feature was
the large prepOnderance of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce Of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million Of the people were in the
priesthood. He had travelled up river
through the main territory Of Siam for
a distance of $50 miles, and during the
Journey II had been absolutely impos-
sible 10 get out Of sight Of temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
800 priests, supported entirely by the
people. OF the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood

why CnnnibaIs Eat Men.

Some grewsome information has
been collected by n member OF the
European medical fraternity in rela-
tion TO tribes that eat men. \ French
man figures that 20 per cent Of all
cannibalS eat the dead in order TO
glorify them; 10 per cent eat great
warriors in order that they may in
herit their courage and eat dead chill
dren in order To renew their youth; 10
per cent partake of their near relatives
from religious motives, either in con-
nection with initiatory rites or TO glOri-
fy deities, and . per cent feast in order
TO avenge themselves upon their enc
mics. Those who devOur human flesh
because of famine are reckOned as is
per cent.
In short. deducting all these there re-
mains only a portion of II per cent
who partake Of human flesh because
they prefer ii to other means Of ali
mentatiOn.
In the heart Of Africa man eating is
continued TO this day, and to such an
extent that in certain villages ribs and
quarters of man meat can be bought.

men when they desire flesh than TO so

PAPER and String.

Franklin's time hOnored and cumu-
lative adage. For want Of the nail the
shoe was lost, for want OF the shoe the
horse was lost, for want Of the horse
the man was lost" should have the
addendum Of Irvine and paper bags
put to 1t to make il complete.
Few things are more aggravating
than to be ready to tie up a package
and find no string, or TO carry a few
apples, oranges. eggs or bulbs a short
distance and find no bag 10 hold them.
Strings should always be wound in a
ball and kept ready for immediate use
where the family may find them, and
paper bags, as soon as emptied, should
be folded neatly and laid in a drawer
for use as needed.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
The Idea That Professional Men
Have Easy Time.


People who work with their hands
especially farmers. are apt to think
that professional men have an easy
time OF It," said lawyer OF this city.
ITS an amusing mistake. The farmer
stops at shutdown. and the laborer
works ten hours at the outside. The
average professional man works from
IL To Il hours day in and day out. all
the year around. Often, at n pinch, he
will work from Is TO 20 hours for sew
eral days In succession. and he VIII
work when he is sick or suffering Sc
we're physical pain. something the man
ual toiler wouldn't dream Of OF course
he takes short intervals OF rest, like
everybody else. The human engine
isn't capable OF absolutely sustained
endeavor for over an hour at a stretch.
Watch a day laborer. who seems TO
be Flooding along like n machine, and
you'll find that ne really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
well dressed doctor. lawyer. broker or
man Of affairs and says 10 himself:
'Oh. you doggoned lazy rascal. If you
only had 10 work like me-. The truth
Is that the chap be enyies is putting an
amount OF concentration and continued
energy into his daily toll that would
kill the man who works with his hands
alone In less than a week.
Il don't mean this As any reflection
on the laborer. who is also no doubt
doing his level best. simply mean
that the demands on brain production
are a third again as severe as the de-
mandR on muSClp prOducfioD For
sheer staying qualities there is nothing
In the world that equals the nervous,
high strung, frail looking modern pro
fessiOnal man."-New Orleans Times

Bruin saved the Man. but Lost Hts
Life In the Bargain.


There is a story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpapas often told the children
seated on their knees. 1t appears that
the celebrated Uncle Jess had spent
all his life as q trapper and hunter, and
never a mishnp had befallen him. But
one night, In his anxiety 10 shake a
coon, be climbed the shell Of an old
tree.
AS he began shaking the neighbor-
ing limb the stump TO which he was
clinging gave way. and he sank feet
first into the hollow center. All efforts
10 escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved TO pass the
remainder OF his life in prayer, when
toward night his applications were in
terrupted. Looking up. he beheld the
eye OF a bear looking straight down
at him.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the inside Of the stump.
Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle
Jess put UP his hands in protection and
grasped the bear. Now Ii was the
bears turn 70 be frightened. BE
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety 10 the top.
Here the bears real trouble began,
for with so heavy a weight ii was i'm
possible for him TO turn about and
back down. so he tried it head first
but that was no easy matter TO the
beast, and he fell with a heavy thud
TO the ground below and was killed
while ITnCle loss went home and told
the truthful tale TO be handed down
TO his Springfield Republic

A MINI of Nerve.

The most curious feature In the case
OF n miner imprisoned for nearly 20
hours in the Gaylord coal mine at
Plymouth, Pa, was his peacefully fall
ing asleep in his tomb as soon as he
realized that he was likely to be res
cued. 1t would be difficult to imagine a
more serene nervous system. There
were plenty of chances, too, that the
miners might not get the poor fellow
out alive. When finally he did emerge,
he behaved himself as hero ought to
behave-quietly, with less thought Of
himself than Of his distracted mother,
who at the moment was at home pray
ing for him.-Collier's Weekly.
