The Romance Of Rnsiness

According to a special dispatch to the
Evening Wisconsin. of Milwaukee, Com
rade NJ. w. Adams, of Blairstown. y. j..
who served in the civil war In the Sth
battery, Wis. l.. A. with a fine war rec
ord, has secured for himself good wife
by a matrimonial advertisement. He Is
a well-educated. shrewd farmer, comfort
ably well off, and % years old He lived
happily with his wife until seven years
ago, when she died. Several months ago
Adams inserted an advertisement for a
wife in a newspaper. 1t was answered
by Mrs. Skinner, whom. as Miss Lizzie
3. Lamb, he had known in Wisconsin.
They had drifted apart. but the adver-
tisement brought them together again. He
threw the other advertisements in the fire,
and the two were married at a reunion OF
veterans.

always have a good and appreciative au-
dience whenever they drill or shoot.
RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONS.
/ have found the inhabitants of Iloilo
and, in fact, of the island of Panay
wherever | have been, all very religious.
1t is not unusual to see nearly the entire
population of some smaller town or of
some district of Iloilo, young and old
alike, marching in church procession.
Usually in Iloilo these columns of march
ers are accompanied by a band and often
a choir.
No matter what Filipino may wear
on other occasions, when the church is
concerned he turns out in his very best,
and these professions present gorgeous
display of native fnery, with some styles
of later introduction, the result of Amer
lean occupation of the island.

cessions in lloilo during the past year.
FILIPINos ADOPTING AMERICAN CUSTOMS.
The writer arrived in the Philippines
with the first troops of occupation during
the Spanish shAmerican war; and noticed
that a very large majority of the Filipinos
ate their meals from common pot of
rice, or corn, which was placed in the
family circle on the floor.
All seated themselves about this dish

considerable assistance to the United
States soldiers in identifying suspects and
in roundinG-up ladrones and guerrillas.
The country was overrun with free
hooters last Summer, but since there have
been many small detachments of these
scouts on the trails the cut-throats have
been obliged 10 seek the jungle or disband.
In most cases the detachments of Panay
scouts are stationed with the American
garrisons in the cities and towns occu-
pying the same barracks. From these
points the scouts are sent out as needed
in command of an American officer or
non-commissioned officers.
The scouts have been drilled in the
same manual and with American COM
mands, so that they can work well with
our own men. Although not excelling
in courage, the native soldier stands his
ground well under fire.
When / get into a tight place l get in
the rear of the scouts, with revolver,
ready to shoot down the first scout that
attempts to run. In this way the scout
knows that there is as much danger in
his rear as in front, and he will stand 10
his post until ordered to retreat
l notice that many of the scouts are
inclined to be musical. Our band is made
up from the musical members who have
managed to secure instruments through
popular subscriptions and from savings
from salaries. The band is a good one,
and does much toward passing away the
long evening hours.
WATCHING TARGET PRACTICE.
. The Filipinos enjoy watching the e. S
soldiers at target practice. The Filipi-
nos appear to have a great amount of

Special correspondence to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
The organization of the Panay Scouts
and similar bodies of native soldiers in
the Philippines would indicate that the
Government intends to use some of these
Filipino organizations to take the place
Of the departing volunteers. Certainly
these native soldiers are well worth using
for home garrisons, scouts, messengers
and patrols. Your correspondent has been
drilling these new members of Uncle
Sans forces since the Panay scouts were
first formed about five months ago.
Only one scout out of the four COM
panies on the island of Panay has de-
serted. The others are all accounted for,
and have been very effective in the per-
Sormance of their duties. They are of

The Review seldom complains abou

The Review seldom complains about
its advertising patronage and it does
not do so now. The Review probably
gets all it deserves and it certainly
gets its share. There are ten other
papers in Crawford county outside of
the Denison papers. In each OF these
we notice the advertisements of GER
tain lines of business that have been
almost totally unadvert!sed in the DEN
ison papers for the past few months.
AS the number of small towns increases
and as the number OF papers increases
the Importance of advertising to the
merchants of Denison increases also.
1T is true that the small towns cut oil
portion of the Denison trade and this
makes it all the more necessary that
Denison merchants should be so wide
awake that the cutting Oft shall b. as
small as possible. The advertisement
of every Denison merchant should
reach the people of the entire county,
they should be impressed as often as
possible with the fact that Denison has
the largest stock. the best selection.
the most vigorous competition and the
most enterprising merchants. Some
merchants believe in hand bills. They
reach the people who happen to come
to town the day the bills are distributed
but they do not bring the people to
town. Another point to be considered
is that Denison ought to have and does
have the best papers in the county
The newspapers of Denison cannot
maintain their high standard without
the support of Denison business men,
Why is it necessary that Denison
should have the best papers? Because
people who read of Denison twice every
week are apt to be interested in Deni-
son affairs and to feel at home here and
to come here often, and if the Denison
papers are not the best in the county
the people know enough to read the
paper that is. 1t takes heap of money
TO run good newspaper, nearly all of
it is spent in wages and for living ex-
penses and thus finds its way back into
the pockets of the merchants. We
speak therefore for the best interests
of the merchants when we urge that
they should be represented in some
way in the papers of Denison. not once
in three months but every week
