Should Mississippians have occasion
to go West by way of st Louis, they
will find it to their comfort and pleas
ure to choose the great Burlington
Route. The Mississippi Press Asso-

found the road to be first class, with
vestibuled trains, chair cars (seats free),
dining cars, compartment and STANDARD
sleepers, and every convenience desir-
able to travellers. This famous road
traverses the great corn belt aud pur-
sues an inviting and picturesque route.

FOR HIS FRIEND.
An Instance of Heroic Self Sacrifices
in the Humber Walks of
15fe.

James Brown and Harry Lee were the
closest of friends. They were painters
by trade and unmarried. James Brown,
however, was the only support Of an in
valid mother, the fact being well known
to Harry.
The two young men were at work up
on one of the high buildings of the city.
For some reason Harry had occasion to
descend to the ground, and there no.
ticcd for the first time how insecure
was James position. AZ the same mo-
ment he was horrihedI to see him losing
his footing.
As quickly as thought can work
Harry remembered the invalid mother,
and stepped in an instant directly into
the spot where James would drop, and
braced himself.
BY something like miracle he sue
ceeded in his purpose Of rescue. When
the two men were brought into the
Flower hospital in New York, it was
discovered that Harry had not received
fatal injury, and that James, for
whom he had risked his life, was suf-
fering chiefly from the breaking of both
wrists and the bones of one ankle.
Harry, who was the first to be well
enough to report for duty, found a
pleasure in caring for the invalid moth
er of his friend as if he were her son.
The doctors of the hospital, who alone
were aware of the facts, report an ex-
preston of gratitude upon the face of
James whenever Harry visited him dur
ing his convalescence, a look that ex-
pressed more than human eyes are ac-
customed to see or human hearts to re-
veal.-New Voice.

THE OLD WARMiN' PAN.

Nine o'clock and upstairs; oh. the breath
freezing room
With its audible silence and tangible
gloom!
Oh. the sh!vers and breads of that tor
tuous hall
Where we bumped our poor heads on the
down-sloping wall
And the demons that danced down our
candlelight lane
To the squeaky quadrille of the old wealth
er-vane!
But ah, every terror. each recess Of dread
We forgot in the depths OF our bllloWy
bed,
When, snugsled therein on the sinkaway
plan,
In Dreamland twas spring. thank the Old
Warmin' Pan.
A well-won protection from bogies and
ghosts!
From the farthest confines they might
marshal their hosts,
aut no spook in the whole vast domain of
Upstairs
Could approach undefled. this, the surest
of lairS.
Deep down in our feathers. twixt laven-
dered sheets,
Peeking over the counterpane's regular
peats,
We laughed all the bugaboos square in the
face,
TIL they make their retreat in the hush
of disgrace
Poor things! they were awful, but blame
them who can,
For no doubt they b. 5rudged US our Old
Warmin' Pan.
oh. the Old Warmin' Pan! How the mem
ories hold
Those days were of silver, those nights
were of gold,
And each homely object my childhood held
dear
Has grown to an idol through many a
year,
The starlight, the stiffness. the FROST
cleaning pane,
The weird weaving shadows, the wind S
low refrain,
The hand at the door and the step in the
hall,
The low, gentle sound of the motherly
call;
For the lack in the child is the love in the
man
Toward the genius that welded the Old
Warmin' Pan.

its moorings. The rail of the prom
enade deck swarmed with faces, some
radiant, some fearful. Words of adieu,
tlutteIing kerchiefs, waving hands
tossing flowers were there on every
side. Two officers, Honolulu bouno.
shouted Armstrong; name, and a
CHEEKY good-by; but he did not seem to
hear. y gentle voice, the voice of all
others he most longed TO hear, repeat
ed the name and strove to call atten-
ton to his gcsticulating comrades on
the upper deck; but he was deaf to
both. Eagerly, anNiously, incredulous-
ly he was searching along that crowded
rail, and all on a sudden he saw her.
Yes, there she stood, all gayety, grace
and animation, stylishly gowned and
fairly burdened with roses; and it was
right at him she was gazing, noddng,
smiling, all sweetness. all confiding,
trusting joy; with just a little of tri-
umph, too, and tinge of sentimental
sorrow in the parting. Apparently, it
was all for him; for her blue eyes never
faltered till they fixed his gaze, and
then, kiss after kiss she threw to him
with the daintily gloved little hand,
and, leaning far down over the rail,
lowering it toward him as much as pos
sible, she finally tossed to him, stand
ing there stern and spellbound, a
bunch of beautiful roses she had torn
from her corsage. 1t fell almost at his
feet, for in his astonishment and ris-
ing wrath he made no effort to catch it..
A man, STOPPING quickly, rescued and
handed it to him. Mechanically he
said: THANK you," and took it, a
thorn pricking deep into the flesh as
he did so; and still his eyes were fixed
on that fairy form now surely, swiftly
gliding away, and over him swept the
consciousness of utter defeat, of eXas-
peration, of dismay, even as he strove
to fathom ner motives in thus singing
him out for such conspicuous-even af-
demonstration. Triumph
and delight he could have understood,
but not, not this semblance of conf
Dental relations, not at least until he
felt his arm graspea by cordial hand,
heard his name spoken by friendly
voice, and Mr.. Primes pleasant in
quiry: "Have you no greeting for other
friends?" Then the hot blood rushed
to his face and showed even through
the bronze as, turning, his troubled
eyes met full the clear, placid gaze of
Amy Lawrence.

PAID SOME BILLS TWICE.
A New DevcIopmentin in the Cuban Pos
tai Frauds.

Havana, June 9.-Ihe troubles of
Estes G. Rathbonc, former director
of posts, seem to be increasing. The
auditors department has thrown out
81 ZOO worth of vouchers, including
SIS, 900 worth of bills which have been
paid twice, most of them at Muncie,
Ind.
The Fidelity Co. has been notified
that il will be held responsible on Mr..
Rathbune's bond. Mr.. Miller, the man
ager of the company, and Mr.. Rath-
bone have held prolonged interviews
during the last few days, but no de-
cision has been arrived at regarding
this new aspect of the situation. The
authorities contend that the Fidelity
Co. is responsible. Mr.. Rathbone's
friends insist that c. f. W. Nicely de-
ceived Mr.. Rathbone, who signed at
NeIey's request without knowing
V hat.
Corydon Rich has been placed un-
der a s. 900 bond as witness in the
Neely case. \ letter has been receiv-
ed here by a friend of Nicely saying
that. if forced to return, he will show
that Rich is a liar and that the latter
received as much as he (Neely) did.

lana. a safe old tub, II she WAS slow;
but Mrs. Frank looked SO pathetic and
resigned when this arrangement was
suggested that no one had tie hardi-
hood to actually dwell upon it. and the
senator said it was q shame to think of
it. With whom of her own sex could
she associate on that long. hot voyage
ahead of them? Why not transfer some
sf the Red Cross nurses to the Louis
icna? Mrs. Garrison had no objections,
but they had; and the surgeon in
charge made prompt and vigorous pro-
test. He knew Mrs. Frank. and she
knew him and did not in the least de-
spair. She still had plan. There was
coy dinner one evening Just the
evening before the departure of the
Queen. and the gallaN captain of the
ship, the veteran general, the quarter
master in charge of transportation, the
member of the senate military commit
tee, some charming girls-but none so
charming as Ms. Garrison-were of
the party. There was some sentiment
and much champagne, as result of
which, at one a. M, the big-hearted sea
monarch aforementioned swOre by the
bones of his ancestors in the Shiny
grasp of Davy Jones that that sweet
little woman shouldn't have to 90
a-begging for accommodations on his
ship. If the general would condescend
to move into his room, by thunder, he'd
sleep up in his foul-weather den next
the chart room, and Mrs. Garrison
God bless her.-could take the gener-
ais room, and be queen of the ship

all honor! 4 soldier, of course, could
be no less gallant than Il sailor, espe-
cially as the captains room was a bit
better than the "Boudoir," and had an
ice chest and contents that the veteran
campaigner was hidden to consider his
own. The agreement was clinched that
very night before the party broke up;
and little Mrs. Frank shed tears of
gratitude upon the generals coat
sleeve and threw kiss after kiss to the
handsome sailor as she hung over the
balusters of the broad veranda and
waved them away in their swift-run-
ming cabs, and then danced off to her
room and threw herself on the bad aft
er mad pirouette about the spacious
apartment, and laughed and laughed
until real tears trickled from her eyes,
and then gave orders to be called at
seven o'clock. She meant to be up and
aboard that ship with all her luggage
before sense and repentance could
come with the morning sun-before
either soldier or sailor could change
his mind.
To the amaze of the women already
aboard, to the grave annoyance Of Col.
Armstrong, 20 the JOY of poor Billy
Gray, and the mischievous merriment
of several youngsters on the commits
stoned list, Mrs. Frank Garrison, the
latest arrival, became sole occupant of
the 1nest room on the ship; and it was
a bower of lilies and tropical fruit and
flowers the breezy day she sailed away
from the bay of Honolulu.

Insurgents at Bay.
A RAIN OF SHOT AND SHE'LL
Rebels Poured in "a Terrific Fire from
Rifles and CannOn-When "a Relief
Party Arrived Only IL of Our Sol

Washington, June 9.-Pcrhaps the
most thrilling incident of the entire
Philippine war occurred at Catubig,
ON the island of Samar, where on
April Is last a party of II enlisted
men OF Company IL, Forty-third in
fantry volunteers, held at bay a force
OF 600 insurgents during four days of
fierce fighting, reinforcements arriv-
ing Just in the nick of time.
The war department has received
reports from Capt. II. NJ. Day, of the
Horty-third volunteer infantry. and
First Lieut.. Sweeney, of that regi-
ment, who commanded the rescue
party, giving details of the attack,
the siege and the relief.
According to these reports the at
tack on the garrison at Catubig be-
gan without warning on April Is.
From the hills on all sides. from ev-
cry point of vantage in the town and
from a deserted church directly adj
joining came a rifle and cannon fire
of terrible intensity. On the 18th
handfuls of burning hemp were
thrown into the barracks from the
insurgents in the church and soon
the soldiers refuge was on fire. All
efforts to subduc the fire failed. and
finally the little band made dash
for the river bank. Some were killed
before the bank was reached. others
fell dead in a boat in which they were
attempting to make the opposite
shore. and when a trench finally was
dug with bayonets, there were only
Is men out of 81 left to man it.
Here for two more days Corporal
Carson, handling his men with the
Judgment of Il veteran, held out under
Il terrible fire, until Lieut.. Sweeney's
command which had been sent to
Catubig, and was on its way up the
river on the steamer Lao-Ang. arriv-
ed. Not until within n quarter of
mile of Catubig, says Lieut.. Sweeney
in his report, did they hear the noise
of the cngageent. Then he realized
that his men were SorelY needed and
he ordered the captain of the steamer
to run his boat at top speed. The
Lao-Ang steamed up to Catubig un-
der rain of Mauser bullets from
both shores. The small boats were
lowered, landing effected, and the
rescuers fought their way through
the open to their besieged comrades
in the trenches, buried the dead
within reach, brought back to the
boat the besieged party numbering
now only 13 men, and then steamed
down the river.
