Nebraska for distance of 16 miles,
moving swath about 100 yards wide,
and throughout it's course nothing Of
value in the shape Of trees, buildings
and fences is left standing.
The strangest part Is that no one was
killed and few injured, and they only
slightly. The section Travelled over by
the storm is principally settled by Danes

MANILA, May 29.-The approach of
the wet season finds the instruction
seemingly taking new lease of life.
All along the American lines the rebels
are showing more aggressive activity.
in their guerrilla style, than at any
time since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches, sleeping in their clothing and
constantly on the alert against dashes
on our outposts, and they make life
warm for the American garrisons in the
towns. The bands of General Luna
and General Mascardo, which retreated
toward Tarlac when they feared they
would be caught between General Mac
Arthur and General Lawton, have re-
turned in force to their old trenches
around San Fernando, where there are
daily collisions. Opposite our lines on
the south protecting Manila, all the way
AROUND TO San foOrO NaCdUl, Cu0 L l4l-
pinos have three rows of trenches most
of the distance.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace nego-
tiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough Of fighting. The Fill
pinos are also encouraged by the belief
that the Americans are preparing for an
interval of inactivity during the wet
season. This period is sure to be fol-
lowed by much suffering. Thousands
of acres Of land that were under Guilt
walton last year have not been plowed
this year, and the government will
probably be obliged to feed thousands,
Just as it fed the Cubans.
Friendly natives continue to pour into
the American lines by land and river
routes, coming from the territory Of
instruction into the country where the
passage of the two armies has left no
food, and practically throwing them
selves upon the charity Of their con-
| OuerOrS.

GROUNDHOG DAY.
BY r. NJ. FUTILE.


Last night the grizzly King unfurled
Fold after fold.
His snowy banner Ger the world,
And down his feecy treasures hurled
On wild and void.
The ermins robe decks as bride
Our mother-earth
And happily-the world outside
We sit with loved ones beside =
The blazing hearth.
At dawn the grounding, we are told,
Comes from his den,
And 10 though it is chill and cold,
The sun pours out a flood of gold
On all we ken.
The beastie saw his shadow black,
Full, round and clear,
And hence he quickly hurried back,
Like doubling hare before a pack,
In mortal fear.
Alas that shadow makes it plain,
AS oft before,
That Winter on the land and main
Will still prolong his icy reign
Six weeks, or more.
But had the day teen overcast
With sunless pail,
Then winters steeds had posted past.
And let Springtide in as fast
To garnish all.
Thus much from folklore, so to say, n
We loathing learn,
And thus from superstitions gray,
And rude traditions packed away
In legends urn.
They vow-some oldtime friends OF ours
The signs are true,
That one will bring us early flowers,
And one the winters faky shower
Will quickly renew.
And SO the pleasants everywhere,
Who little think,
Believe the omens true as prayer,
And solace have, or carking care
AS black as ink.
The planets are, some sages say,
The weatLer's guide;
But ali higher law than they,
And one that marks their orbits way
Must decide.
