Kipling's story "Tht Man Who
Would Be King" has found a strange
parallel in central Africa, where a
romance as weird and bloody as any
ever penned by the English writer has
Just reached its finale. Two French
officers. dreaming of great empires
with themselves as rulers, headed a
mutiny and murdered their command
er. Then, with their supposedly devoted
followers, they plunged into the will
Iderness and were there in turn muir
dered by the native soldiery on whom
they counted for the arms that could
win their Kingdoms. To make fitting
climax to the story, the news Of their
fate reached Paris ON the very day
when memorial services were being
celebrated for the officer they slew.
Fiction's pages can furnish few more
thrilling narratives, and he novelist
would indeed be dull who could not
weave a tale Of fascinating interest
around the ambitions, crimes and end
fngs of the soldiers who wanted TO rule
a tropic world.

was necessary to keep the railroad

Consul Heenan at Odessa reports on
? rur'::@; device to prevent rats carry
ing contagiorF diseases into ships.
The cable of the shin was run through
piece OF iron pipe staut foot in
length, and welded on The end of the
pipe was a fange or fun@el. which
looked like the end of trumpet +fh
the wide end facing the ship. The iro..
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-
vent rats from passing through It..
This novel construction was quite
close to the ship. The Russian au-
thorities furnish these appliances and
oblige all ships to use them whenever
they come from a part infected with
the plague. in order to prevent the rats
on the ship coming on shore. 1t is
generally conceded that the plague has
been carried and spread by rats which
have left ships coming from infected
ports. 1t is known that rats make use
of the cable to come on shore, and this
iron pipe, with its funnel-shaped ar
rangement was employed to prevent
such visits, IL possible. These devices
are attached to each cable by which
the ship is moored. In addition to this
precaution the master of the ship is
obliged to take down his loading
stages every night and erect them
again the following morning in order
to prevent the rats coming on shore.

TASTED and Feasted.

Mr.. Crimson of Dcnison has
received the following letter from
his son Frank at MaIolos, Phil
ippine islands;
81 guess you know all about
the scrap, but l will tell you all
about our regiment. We went
over the insurgents trenches at
De Honia church, about twenty
miles east of our old trenches at
Caloocan. Had to cross field
1900 yards under heavy fire, but
our company did not lose man,
although our regiment lost three
killed and had twenty-three 9th
ers wounded. The trenches were
full of dead insurgents. We then
started from the railroad toward
Daugapan. Captured Matahon,
Palo, Mariguim, Begaa, Regium
and Malolos, the insurgent capt.
tai.
81 think everyone was disap-
pointed in the town and the fight
the enemy put up. 1t was said
that Aguinaldo had 10000 men
heavily entrenched and was going
to make the stand of his life, but
the fight only lasted fifteen min
utes and we did not lose a single
man. The entertainments of the
insurgents were something won
derful and 100 determined men
could have stood off 1000 trained
soldiers, but they left them with
out struggle.
81 think that the taking of the
trenches at Caloocan took all the
nerve out of them. | think we
will get away from here shortly.
"This country is the garden
spot of the world-rice and cane
fields miles across and as level as
u floor. Bananas, cocoanuts,
pineapples and all kinds of trop-
ical fruits grow In abundance, and
everywhere the country is full of
chickens, ducks, turkeys and
geese and we are living fine. We
have chicken fried, stewed or
any other old way. Seven of us
a few days ago ate nine ducks at
one meal and it wasn't good day
for ducks, either. | will add in
cidenally that we hadn't had any
thing to eat in thirty-six hours"
