LYNCH IN PHILIPPINES.
Player Writes OF His Trip Across the


The first day we got the quarter
master wagon and got our beds, ami
we have been buying little things ever
since. There is no such thing as an
express wagon like there is in the
states. The only thing you can get Is
a caribou cart, and they are slower
than oxen. Everybody in this town
goes out every evening on what they
call the Luneto drive. Some one of
the military bands stationed in the
city gives n concert out there, and
they always finish up with the
Star Spangled Banner When they
start TO play that all take off their
hats. / was out there the other night
and bunch of Chinese were together,
and one of them failed to take off
his hat, and you ought to see the
rest of them iabber at him, and he
grabbed it in Il hurry. | tell you
that old tune makes a fellow feel
kind of funny when everybody gets
up and takes off his hat. It's a fine
sight 20 look out on the place where
Dewey made them quit. There is al
ways from 25 to so vessels out there
about mile all lighted up. 1t looks
like another city. | haven't been
around much yet. as the weather Is
too bad. So far | am enjoying the
best of health and rather like TIL,
country. OF course everything is go
much different and probably when
the novelty wears off / won't like it
so well, but so far have-not been dis
appointed,
Yours truly,

TALES OF THEATRE.

If a man goes to see a show, he
don't care who he sees, if he likes the
show. He wants the main part OF
the play to be funny, but he wants a
plot to hold the interest. He wants
the characters to be true to life; h.
wants to see good scenery and good
acting, such as are the features to be
found in My Friend from Arkansas =
which will be seen at. the Illinois toz
