GETTING READY TO START.
Sergeant Edwards writes from Man

Sergeant Edwards writes from Nam
lila just before starting for home:
Lieut.. Chas. S. Foster Of Co. HI,
Ninth United States infantry, came
down on the train last night from San
Fernando, to say goodbye to the boys.
It was a treat to see Tad, and hear the
good reports about himself, and of his
good health. He looks splendid, and
says he is treated we'll, living high,
and will stay and fight until the last
insurgent gives in.
Several new commissions arrived in
the mail, viz: Q. NJ. s. Mickle and First
Sergeant Russater r second lieuten-

Lieutenant Berg vas also made cap

Wind has made the bay so turbulent
that traffic has been stopped; the boats
at the breakwater cannot be loaded or
made ready for departures; several yes
sells ready to sail are not allowed to
leave. The Centennial is ready to sail
with several hundred sick, including
Corporal Dan Lewis, and will depart
as soon as possible.
The Grant, the boat on which we are
to embark, is one of the best in the
service, and we consider ourselves as
very fortunate in being assigned to

A SHEEP MANS PROFITS.

Says the Dickinson Press: There
are few sheepmen in the country who
can make Il better showing for the
capital invested than II. J. Schultz Of
this place. May ., 1897, Mr.. Schultz
bought 1890 sheep Mt 1922 per head,
or 81 2SS4 as first cost. The same year
he sold $1,000 worth of wool from the
band and $936 worth of mutton, maxi
ing $3.50 as the first years proceeds.
In 1898 he sold $1,000 worth Of wool
and $1,353 worth of mutton, a total
of $3,55j3. This year his wool clip
amounts to S2,375. Mr.. Schultz has
not sold his 80 mutton and has on
hand $3.50 sheep. Taking out the
original numbers purchased, he
would still have 900 on hand. His
total sales of wool and mutton for the
two years and three months that he
has had the band amount to $S,35S,
and the $3.50 sheep that he has on
hand are easily worth Il much more.

Il huge boulder, and watched two com-
rades dead and two more dying. 1t
vas a beautiful day, but the deadly
Mauser bullet had done cruel work in
this little band Of five. One mar
alive. Two dead and two dying. The
brown skinned murderers peered over
their hidden trench and tainted the
living, but he paid no heed. He had
his duty ver in view. Those four COM
rades were, dead. but those beautiful
steel blue death dealers which they
held in their rigid clasp must be saved
for use against this treacherous foe

original is ten times lovelier. Dear, is she
a great friend of yours? I hope so, for
can think of nothing but her-and If she
cannot care for me-I'll-what's the mat
