The American column reached the for
mer camp at Maciu Sunday night. On
Monday the Moros opened fire on them
with g brass cannon and rifles from a Sc
ries OF new forts which had been erected
since Captain Pershings first visit to the
place. The battery under Captain VIII
liam S. McNair scaled a ridge command
ing the position Of the Moros and sheiled
them out. The engineers under Captain
Jay J. Morrow had constructed trail
over the swamp fanking the Moro posi-
ticn. The men Of Captain Persning's col
umn crossed the swamp by the trail and
captured and destroyed three of the Moro
forts The Moros stood but a short while,
and ran as soon as the artillery opened on

peace. Twenty Moros were killed. There
were no casualties among the Americans.

One Sure Sion

A story illustrating the hard-head-
edness and sheer common sense of
the late Dr. McCosh. the noted dean
of the faculty of Princeton UnIver-
Sfty, was told recently. He made
the acquaintance of couple of
ScOtSmen who worked as farm hands
on an estate near Princeton and
learning that they did not go to
church, hauled them over the Goals
for backSliding and induced them to
attend Sunday services regularly
They were supplemented men, with
immense respect for the venerable i'm
structOr, and they Invariably ran to
him to settle disputes or to advise
them in matters of business. One
morning they appeared before him as
he was going to chapel, and told him
they had had a quarrel as to the sign
of hearing the first cuckoo of the
season. jamie had said that it was a
sign that the one who heard it would
speedily marry; Sandy declared it was
sign that the nearer would get
speedily rich.
Its a sure sign of somethin' doc
tor What may it be? Can We tell
us?''
Yes said the doctor. "To hear
the first cuckoo of the season is a
sure sign you're not deaf"
And he solemnly turned on his
heel and left them staring after him.

days when that road was paying 10
per cent dividends Reed was a close
buyer and used all the arts and sub

he was negotiating for an improve

time over the price said to the sales
agent:
