A MONTANA BLUFF.
How Four of Our Fearless Western
Troopers Put rs Tilipinos
to the Run.

What is regarded as one of the tall
est bluffs" on record furnished Capt.
Edgar Russell, chief signal officer in
the Philippines during the insurrec-
ton, with a story which he tells as an
example of western nerve, says the
New York Tribune.
"We were outside of Manila in some
little scrap" said the captain, land
about Is natives were lying in trench
ahead of us, shooting away merrily,
but not hitting any body.
by and by | noticed little disturb
ance in our front. Presently four
Montana troopers trotted out of our
lines and started straight for the Fill
pinos. Everybody looked at them with
wonder, and waited to see them all
killed. Bullets whistled all around
them, but they never halted.
SLOWLY, just at trot, they logged
on toward the enemy. The natives
fred and fired, but for some unknown
reason did not hit. On and on went
the quartet, discarding cover.
''At last there was shout, and. to
our utter establishment we beheld the
Is Filipinos jump out of their trenches
and take to their heels in mad flight
The nerve of the Montana troopers
was too much for them.
when they had all fed, throwing
their rifles away as they ran, the
troopers came back, their arms full of
guns. That is what the army has
come to call "a Montana bluff It's
the sort of nerve that lets man open
jackpot on pair of deuces.''

WRITTEN FOR THE BEE.

As the dandelion balls of snow
 Mix with the wayside grass As the winds of heaven that blow, So shall the poets fancy pass. And the world shall forever sing And the poets hear the chime And the bells Tn the belfry ring
 And the lovers welded in time. Joy shall ever follow the rain
 And dry up the wells of sorrow, While to meet with loves smile again Is the dream of tomorrow. We will wander as the wild flocks go Beneath the dropping branch, Or in the foam of the mountain snow Track the wild avalanche. And the poet of the deep dark wood In the inspiration of the hour Will bestow a thousand things for good By his invisible power.
