War Makes Use of Churches.

A church in wartime is always apt to
be Communicated become a church
militant indeed. In past days the con-
junction had open admission, and a
church was built fortress-like against
emergencies. After Norman, Gothic:
but even brittle Gothic has had to face
cannon, and in our own time many a
French church has heard the hoofs of
horses on its pavements. The temples of
China could not hope to evade a service
of man which only fanatics could re-
gard as dissertation. In Tien Tsin. for
instance, the American troops had their
headquarters within walls dedicated to
worship. The place might not be wholly
suited to military purposes; but it pos

Where the spirits of Fancy smile
But. strange to say. in his boldest fight,
Though he halted or rested not
Through all his travels by day anu night
He has stood in the self-same spot:
He has ridden far. he has ridden hard:
He has borne fierce Drunts and blows,
And oft has felt, as sweet reward,
A kiss on his WORKOUT nose.
And though he is rather the worse for wear
And is crippled and Scared and old
In the eyes of his master he still is fair
And worth his weight in gold.

s. Chicago, Nov. 23.-Trouble arose at
the National Irrigation Congress this
afternoon when the report of the
committee on permanent organization
was presented. All parts of the report
we're accepted, except that which rec
commended that the field meeting of
the congress be held next spring at
Colorado Springs, and the annual
meeting later in the year at Buffalo
A dozen delegates rose to their feet
when this was read and loudly voiced
their protests. They desire the annual
meeting to be held in Colorado
Springs and the secondary affairs in
Buffalo They claim that a majority
of the men who would attend the an
nual meeting are residents of the west,
that they should not be compelled to
go as far as Buffalo. The discussion
lasted over an hour and waXed warm
at times. Finally that part of the re-
port relating to the place of holding
the next annual meeting was referred
back to the committee with instruc-
tions TO report at 80 tomorrow.

Charleston, Ills, Nov. 23.-T. N.
Gofer Jr., prominent young attor-
ney, escaped destruction in what
seems to have been a miraculous man
ner. He received from some unknown
person box containing dynamite. 1t
came to his Office by express last Mon
day morning and he opened the pack
age while the express messenger was
still there.
The label was typewriter and said:
Sample puzzle box. Open, pull the
string with jerk and the result will
be surprising"
Gofer gave the string, which pro-
truded from a hole, jerk but it
broke. The box was then pried open,
disclosing three big sticks of dynamite
wrapped in combustibles and holes
bored in them with fuses attached. A
hundred match heads were glued on a
stick and were intended to ignite when
the string should draw piece Of sand
paper across their heads, About half
of them were ignited with the first pull
of the string, but by some miraculous
manner the blaze was smothered. The
package came from Aurora.

as quite a success and it is hoped that
an even greater attendance will be
found the next meeting.

FILIPINO TACTICS
Insurgents Harass American CARR,
son, Shooting Blazing Arrows
Which Fire the Towns.

Mania, Feb. 12.-Of late insurgents
in Albay province, Luzon, have adopt
ed harassing tactics against the towns
which the Americans have garrisoned.
They camp in the hills and maintain
a constant fire upon the American out
posts. When the troops sally against
them they scatter, returning when the
Americans retire. They shoot burning
arrows, and have thus burned large
part of the town of Albay. Indeed,
most of the larger towns in that PROV
ince are practically deserted, except by
the garrisons. Scarcely any of the in
habitants return to their homes. They
are camping in the interior, and it is
supposed armed insurgents prevent
them going back. It is reported that
there is much suffering among them,
owing to lack of food.
Guerrilla warfare continues south of
Manila. Two attempts have been made
to ambush the Americans Col. Schwan.
while returning to Manila with his staff
and an escort of a hundred cavalry
from Ratangas, was attacked by the in
surgents. The latter were dispersed.
but the Americans had five men
wounded.
Lieut.. Col. Beacon, with six compa-
MES of the Forty-second in fantry, had
two hours fight with Gen. Pho. del
Pillars command, which attempted to
ambush the Americans along the trail
through Morong province, near the
lake. Here also the insurgents were dis
persed, but the Americans had several
wounded. among them a captain.
