down the river. 1t was forlorn
hope, but | knew the river must
empty into the sea somewhere.
l was so weak myself that | did
not expect to got out, but |
thought some Of the men could.
THE RESCUE
son the morning Of December
is, while we were working on
the rafts, the Americans came
toward us yelling. One of nv
men shouted. 'They are on u.s.
He was lashing a raft of bam-
boos. |, however, knew it was
not the yell of savages, but the
yell of Americans. The rescuing
troops thought we had Filipino
guards and called to us in Eng
lish to lie down so that they
could shoot the Filipinos. That
was the finest body of officers and
men | ever saw"
Lieut.. Gilmore could not
speak enthusiastically enough
about the 140 picked men who
had rescued him and his party.
The command spent the day in
making rats. Col. Hare thought
Lieut.. Gilmore too weak to live
through the trip, but there was
no alternative. They shot many
rapids. the men losing all their
effects and Lieut.. Gilmore some
valuable papers. Only fourteen
out of the thirty seven RATS sur
vived the first night experience,
and eighty men were practically
unable to walk when Vigan was
reached. Describing

Lieut.. Gilmore said:
"Thc Filipinos, completely
terrified, left Benguet on Dec.

from town to town, often retrac
ing the trail, not knowing where
the Americans would attack.
After being almost without food
for three days, they killed several
horses and we lived on horse
flesh for several DAYS. | did not

upon rice without salt. There

"Whilc We were in the hands
of Gen. Tino's men he issued an
order that any person aiding an
American by food or money

but for the kindness Of some of
the presidents of the towns and
some Of the Filipino colonels,
but others treated us brutally
Whenever there was a prison we
were kept there. When there
was no prison they would lodge
us in convent. We suffered
greatly from want of exercise, as
well as lack of food" For weeks

Papa Wright purchased one Of
those new tangled cushion seated
rubber tired vehicles last week and it
is one Of the daintiest turnouts we
have seen for many day. Riding in
the seat is like sleeping in feather
bed with the quIlls all pulled out
and noise-why it goes along so
smoothly that the horse it is hitched
to cannot tell when it is thrown into
gear. 1t is painted so fine that our
popular landlord does not carry
pocket mirror but simply chances at
his likeness in one Of the beautiful
panels. The wheels are as red as the
gay spots on new Easter bonnet and
the rubber in the tires would make
hinges for all the head in the city.
Every body THINKS it as fine as the
band wagon in q circus parade and
tile only objection we have heard thus
far is that Papa HIS not horse swift
enough q keep on of way II il in

Bonaparte Blenkins went to pick up
the volume, now loosened from it's COW
er, while Tant Sannie pushed the
stumps of wood farther into the oven.
Bonaparte came close to her, tapped
the book knowingly, nodded and looked
at the fire. Tant' Sannie comprehend
ed and, taking the volume from his
hand, threw it into the back of the
oven. 1t lay upon the heap Of Goals,
smoked, flared and blazed, and the po-
of existence, like many another poor
hereto of flesh and blood.
Bonaparte grinned and to watch the
process brought his face so near the
oven door that the white hair on his
eyebrows got singed. He then inquired
If there We're any more in the loft.
Learning that there were, he made
signs Indicative Of taking up armfuls
and flinging them into the fire. But
Tant' Sannie was dubious. The de-
ceased Englishman had left all his per-
sonal effects specially to his child. 1t
was all very we'll for Bonaparte to talk
of burning the books. He had had his
hair spiritually pulled, and she had no
wish to repeat his experience.
She shook her head. Bonaparte was
displeased. But then happy thought
occurred to him. He suggested that
the key of the loft should henceforth
be put into his own safe care and keep
ing, no one gaining possession of it
without his permission. To this Tant
Sannie readily assented, and the two
walked lovingly to the house to look
FOR it.

large party OF women agreed TO 60 bath
ing on Tuesday night.
The women decide d that it would not
be wise to don regular bathing suits, az
tie authorities would not allow them to
go through the streets in them and no
place convenient to the waite. could be
secured where the suits could be put on.
The women decided 10 bath in their
dresses. The place selected for bathing
was the rocks in the Brandywine river
at the foot OF Beuna Vista street.
The start for the river was made
shortly before O'Clock Tuesday even
ing. There we're about 10 women in the
party. They came from Hutton. Buena
Vista, Mabel, Lamotte, East Twenty
second, and Race streets and Palmer g
Row.
Most OF the women we're attired in
calico dresses. Some of them wore red
waists and others blue ones. Their ages
ranged from l6 to so years.
About dozen men, husbands OF
women in the party, accompanied them
and bathed with them.
The women had very enjoyable time
and all voted the bathing a success
There is no street light ntar the water,
but 1t being moonlight there was no scar
city Of light, but not too much.
The nearest house is quite close to the
bathing place, but there are no others
for about $50 yards.
About 8 O'Clock last night the womer
again went in bathing. There was less
timidity shown by them and they walk
I'd boldly down Buena Vista street tt
the waters edge.
Quite a number of the women are GO
ing to learn to swim. The water las
night was at about half tide. 1t wai

was about ! feet.
One woman when asked last nigh
after returning from the river why they
did not visit the Iublic bath said
"0h. they only have 1t open on certain
days. Then, too, it is not open in th'
evening. We can take our husband
with US. We think the water is not a

dywine, as the pool is not cleaned ou
