ROMANCE OF AN EGG,
Iowa Maiden and Soldier in Cuba
Brought Together.
A Wedding to Follow In Near Ru-
ture-Egg with Maiden's Name
Lettered on 1t Travelled to
Guines, Cuba.

In the summer months large forces
of girls are employed at Fort Dodge,
Ia, handling eggs taken from picking
vats to be prepared for shipment One
of the girls laS$ summer selected a
large, smooth egg, and in moment Of
day-dreaming wrote her name and
address upon it with an indelible PEN
Gil It was placed in case with 277
others and found it's way to Cuba.
Months passed and the young woman
forgot the incident, until she received
letter from Charles Percy N. Smith,
dated at Guines, Cuba, January 10,
reading:
Miss Lizzie Gflday: am sure you
had no idea into whose hands and to
what distant lands the egg upon which
you wrote your name would 60. It
came with large shipment from the
United States, and was purchased by
a Cuban merchant here, who, being
unable toread English, brought it to me-
for translation. I would be glad to
have you answer this letter, as I am
curious to know the one who adopted
80 novel method of corresponds
have camera, and have had snap
shot taken of myself with the egg in
my hand. If you care for one of the
pictures let me hear from you.n
This letter was promptly answered,
with a request for the picture, which
arrived in due time with another let
ter, in which Mr.. Smith gave more
detailed account of himself. In this
letter Mr.. Smith says:
II am in the employ of the United
States signal corps, and have charge
Of the Office at this place. I like it
here; indeed, it is nice, healthy place,
and the people treat you we'll They
think an American is a small. god.
Now, please answer this letter soon,
and, after we become little better
acquainted, I will write you more in
teresting letter than can now"
Needless to say this letter was an
Bwered as promptly as the first. Let
ters followed fast, If not furious, but
the communications were Of such a
nature that the public is not entitled
to their contents. Suffice to relate the
results have been so satisfactory that
Mr.. Smith will soon secure a leave Of
absence, and his vacation will be spent
in Iowa. When he returns it Is not
unlikely that an American goddess

Cubans bestow upon one Of Uncle

fall on our backs and burn through
blouse and shirt before we had any
warning. Every one Of those burns
left scar as lasting as that left by
bullet, and those who carry them fret
even now over the discomfort, but
whenever there is pain from one Of
those old scars there comes back vivid
pictures of that trying time in front
OF our own artillery,
'eThis throwing to the front Of his
own batteries of men whose safety de-
pended on their strict obedience to or
ders illustrated the resourcefulness Of
one Of the best strategists and fighters
among the generals Of the civil war.
When the batteries ceased firing the
division was in position to charge at.
once On the advancing column that had
been demoralized by the effective artil-
lery fire. But that night the men Of
this same division showed their own
sesourcefulness in forttfying their line
along what they realized was the key
to the position of the union army. They
had no intrenchment tools, but they
availed themselves Of rails and stones
and earth to make shelter. The next
morning they secured picks and shov-
els, and on their own motion construct
ed intrenchments covering their whole
front.
ut so happened that no attack was
made by the enemy that day, and vis-
itors from the other divisions laughed
a little at our boys for spending so
much time on intrenchments that they
would probably have to leave. But at
two o'clock on the second day the con
3ederates advanced in force against the
position held by this division, and with
out any preliminary skirmishing
opened furious rifle fire. Our men
dropped behind their intrenchments
and waited until the advancing line
came in close range; then opened a
nurderous fire. Again and again the
confederates charged, and every time
they were driven back. The point COW
cred by the intrenchments became the
center Of furious battle, and while
there was wavertng On the right and
on the left, the line at that point, far
ther advanced than any other, stood
firm, and the men did not leave their
breastworks until they were ordered

We run wild over the furnishings of
a house; its furniture, carpets, hang

forget or neglect the most important
requisite. Something there should be
always on the shelf to provide against

Such come like thief in the night; a
sprain. strain sudden backache, tooth
ache or neuralgia attack There is
