HE WEEDS A FILIPINO BELLE
Richard Jones. of Sterling, Takes Bride
at Cebu.


at Cebu.
The many friends of Richard Jones,
formerly of this city, will be pleased
to learn that the gallant eX-member
of Company f has taken unto him
self spouse and that the aforesaid
spouse is no other than a Philippine
belle. This, at least, is what Richard
writes, home to one of his friends, and
Richard ought to know. Mr.. Jones
is n corporal with the United States
troops at Cebu, p. l., and served dur
ing the Spanish-American war with
Company +, 9th Illinois volunteers.
He was popular young fellow with
the ladies and there is no doubt
that when he found life monotonous
in the Philippines he looked around
him for female company. Well, ac-
cortling TO all reports, he found it and
the wedding is the result. Corporal
Jones does not even say what the
name of the duslly belle is; his letter
simply SAYS. Il have taken unto my
self dusky Philippine belle for
spouse She is Il dandy and l can as
sure YOU that some of these Philip
pine ladies are warm babies and this
one is no exception to the rule" Cor
poraI Jones stops with this brief
eulogy, but his many friends and fell
low members of Company f will eN-
tend to him sincere congratulations
for all that.-Sterling Standard.
