THE BRITISH TOURIST.

He Was Pleasantly Surprised by the
Train boys Attentions.
The British tourist sat In the car and
gazed idly across the bleak pralries.
He felt n slight touch and, looking
around. found that a uniformed youth
had deposited several ruddy oranges
on the seat.
"EIe didn't wait for the money" re-
marked the tourist, gazing from the
fruit to the rapidly retreatlng train
boy.
"He never does" said the fellow pas
sengcr. with a knowing smile.
"Oh, I see, 1t Ii one OF the advan-
tages Of your great railroad system.
Free fruit for its patrons"
The British tourist was just peeling
the second orange when dainty pack

posted on his knee.
"By Jove." he exclaimed enthusias-
tIcally, this is delightful! When l re.

In less than ten minutes he was the
recipient of another package. 1t was n
little box containing black cigar and
two matches

of the cigar. Then he found that a
comic publication had found its way
to his seat.

LIEUTENANT MERRIAM is
MAKING 4 GOOD RECORD

The following is from a late Den
yer paper. It will be interesting TO
the many friends of Lieut. Merriam
in Honolulu, where the young officer
found the lodestar of his life:
Lieut. Merriam, son Of Gen. Mer-
RAM, is distinguishing himself in the
Philippines. By two daring night ex
petitions, which he conducted, he has
trepid of the younger officers serving
in the islands,.
The first night expedition conduct
ed by Lieut.. Merriam was out Of Los
Banos He surprised the insurgentf
and in the battle captured p prison
ers, 80 guns and 5000 rounds of am
munition, also killing number of the
rebels and putting a II of them to
fight While this expedition is con
sidered noteworthy, y ct his second
expedition is one upon which largely
rests his reputation for bravery and
the successful execution of daring
project.
Lieut.. Merriam started at midnight
out of Indang to roun up a gang Of
the insurgents that had been giving
the troops a great dea OF trouble. The.
insurgents had been picking the AM
orleans OF and despite number Of
efforts by day the Americans had
been unsuccessful IN breaking up the
band of rebels Lient Merriam and
his men made their way through the
jungle and ar midnight led his men
in the charge The insurgents We're
surprised and in the battle six pris-
M
of insurgents were Killed.
The insurg ents then sought refuge
behind their barracks They were,
and it was considered an impossible
lily 10 disIcdge them Lieut- Merri-
am, however. selected ten men and
led the charge 1t is estimated that
100 Insurgents were holding the bar
racks. Surprised by the dash and
vigor of the attack they scattered
and the lieutenant and his men swept
over their position The barracks
were destroyed The insurgents were
completely routed and there was nc
further trouble from them.
Lieut- Merriam was IN the Third
artillery. but under the reorganization
OF the army the regiment was dis
banded as the batteries are now num-
bered- He is in command OF the
Twenty-ninth battery Of artillery. He
has been fighting almost continuously
since he has been in the Philippines
most OF the time in the province OF
Cavite, where his two daring mid
night expeditions were conducted.
His battery is ordered home and Il IS
expected that be VIII arrive n Den
yer the latter part Ok July.
