Are peculiar in many wavs.

Are peculiar in many ways.
They like to drink water without
ice.
They would rather walk upstairs
than take an elevator.
They use ordinary portable bath
tubs in place of stationary porcelain
or metal ones such as we have.
What seems to us the funniest
thing of all is that they absolutely
prefer chicory in their coffee.
1t is easy enough for any one to
get adulterated coffee in this coun-
try. But the good housewife watches
carefully that she is not thus i'm.
posed upon.
Those who have learned by ex-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without a grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees.
There is none better on the mar
ket. Every bean has been carefully
selected from plantations, famous
for their coffee crops.
The fact that these coffees bear
the seal of Chase & Sanborn is in
itself a sufficient guarantee that they
are full weight and in every way
perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.

SUNDAY DISTURBANCE.

Everyone was sorry for those people in church
last Sunday who were suffering with distressing
cough. A full dose of Downs Elixir on going to
bed at night and small doses during the day will
cure the most severe cough. Whenever there is
a tickling sensation in the throat take few
drops of the Elixir on the tongue and let 1t run
slowly down the throat and immediate relief will
follow. We the undersigned, druggists, agree
to refund the money II 1t does not cure any
cough, cold, whooping cough or throat trouble

daily life. She was of a retiring DISPOSE

death comes as a great sorrow to many
friends. Five children have been born to

on the arm Of Capt. Mcdonald, new
devotee. while poor Cherry, with an
enamored swain from the Presidio,
languished in dim, secluded corner.
She had been recalled by parental au-
thority and was to start for Denver
under q matronly wing on the morrow.
Mrs. Frank had been bidden, and ex-
pected, to 60 at the same time, but that
authority was merely marital. Up to
this time not one army wife had been
permitted to accompany her husband
on any of the transports to Manila,
though one heroine managed to get
carried away and to share her liege
lords stateroom as far as Honolulu.
The general and his staff, with big
regiment of volunteers, were to sail on
the morrow. the other regiments as fast
as transports could be coaled and made
ready.
Something in Mrs. Garrison's gay,
triumphant manner prompted sore

CHAPTER XIII.

Still another expedition was destined
to start for Manila, and keen was the
rivalry among the regiments held to
daily drill at San Francisco. The rhmor
was current in the camps that the next
review was to decide the matter, and
that the commands pronounced to be
foremost in discipline and efficiency
would be desi signated to embark. The
transports that had conveyed the ear
ier expeditions to the Philippines be-
gan to reappear In the bay, and coaling
and retitting were hurried to the ut
most The man most eager to get away
was Stanley Armstrong; and if merit
were to decide the matter it was con-
ceded among the volunteers that in
point of style and equipment the
"Primeval Dudes" held over" all COM
petitors, even though every competitor
believed itself more than match for
the Dudes if actual campaigning and
fighting were in contemplation. Sen
ators and members from the states
represented by the volunteers at San
Francisco led burdensome lives, for Of

to secure the longed-for orders for an

that if compelled to continue a pris-

ker's tyrannical rule Gray might be
goaded into insanity. He was in
condition bordering on brain fever
when Morrow came to see me, and in
another day was raving. That, settled
it. / ordered him taken off and placed
in hospital here, and Canker had to go
without him. But wish you would
see Armstrong and tell him about Gray,
SO that may know the whole situation
as soon as return. Canker evidently
intended not to let us know his proofs.
He probably believes that he will find
a more crednlous and complaisant lis
.tener in Drayton; but his insinuations
pointed to Gray as at least an abettor
in the theft, and he went sozfar as to
say that if Armstrong could be brought
before the court some very interesting
testimony could be dragged from him,
and, finally, that both Armstrong and
Mrs.-wel, the wife of staff officer
who is already. well on the way to Ma
nila-mightsb be compelled to testify.
cannot bring myself to repeat more
that he said; but he was in ugly and al
most defiantmood, and I had to give him
a dressing down. You may say to Arm
strong for me that do not believe one
word of Canker's calumny at his ex-
spense or that of the lady, in the case.
But he. declared his intention of lay.
ing the whole matter before Gen.
Drayton Immediately on his arrival,
and it is best that Armstrong should
be prepared. As for the lady, Canker
said she and Armstrong were very close
friends when they were at Fort Stan
hope ten years ago, though they no
longer meet as such.
