From the Philippines.


Through the kindness of Mrs. T. p.
Mcknight We are permitted to pub
lish the following letter from Luther
Kelly, her brother, who is serving as
asoldierin the Philippine Islands, viz:
In Camp at Malabang, P. L.,
November %, 1902.
Ny Dear Sister:-I left the Adjutant
Generals Office just one month ago.
l became tired of the Office, so asked
to be relieved 40 that l could come
to my company and do duty for a
while. We are in large Sibley tents
with the Helen Gould cots. / am
writing now with the paper on my
right knee, but / suppose that you
will be able to read it all right.
Duty is not so hard.-We get from
five to seven nights in on guard and
drill one hour a day, and every ten
dayc make trip up the trail, which
is a trail about 100 feet wide and 10
miles long, through forest that is 50
dense that no American can go any
distance, for he has to cut his way
with an axe. This trail leads up to
Camp Wears, where the battle of Ba-
yam was fought. We escort wagon
trains and Jack trains from there,
and the fun we have is certainly a
plenty. / do believe that / can kill n
monkey every shot, and monkeys and
parrots are thicker than any game
in the U. s. 1t is certainly fun to
shoot large monkeys, and have be-
come an excellent shot with my Krag-
Jorghensen. We start out with 100
cartridges in our belt and about so
in our pockets for monkey shooting.
General Nelson A. Miles, the Com
manding General of the Army, was
here the other day, aud he certainly
madea fine speech and complimented
the 9th Infantry for their excellent
work. We are expecting to be reliev-
ed by some other regiment, and then
we will get a good station and go in
to good barracks, for our men have
certainly seen enough Of field service.

 The table top is fastened to the legs by means of needle and strong linen thread. the stitches being concealed by the stars or other patterns cut from the gloss paper and pasted over them, and the table is complete, as in Fig. 6.

The strength and durability of these articles will surprise those who have not tested the tough ness of paper. They are strong enough to hold plant or book or any other small article, and are really quite pret- ty.

PAPER FURNITURE.

Entertaining and Useful Winter
 Evening Work For Young Folks.
 An instructive and entertaining em- ployment for the young people during the winter evenings is the making of furniture out of old newspapers. The Household has told something about it, as follows: The materials required are sharp pair of scissors, bundle of old newspapers, some sheets of tissue taper, also gloss paper, a bottle of mu- gsilage or paste, some bits of string or ribbon and few sheets of stout card board
 To construct pretty table, smooth kitchen table, and, taking up a single sheet, roll it tightly, beginning at one corner, as shown in Fig, l. When tightly rolled, as shown in Fig 2, paste the last corner down smoothly, making four of these spills" which form the legs of your table. Place them to- gether and cut off the loose ends, mak- ing them of equal length. Now roll up smaller sheets of paper and insert them in each leg in order to strengthen them. Push them down as far as pos sIble at each end and cut off the pro. truding parts. By this means the legs may be almost as hard as wood, and little varnish or sizing will help make them still more firm. Gut black and gold paper into long, even strips and paste them neatly around the legs, as shown in Fig. 3, having previously covered them with sheet of tissue or gloss paper of some chosen color, or give them coat of light enamel before adding the black and gold paper. When the legs are finished bind four of them together, using ribbon or wire covered with ribbon, as shown in Fig. 4. Three crosspieces must next be made in similar manner and attached to the legs, as shown in Fig. 5, These crosspieces can be decorated with curled tissue paper and tipped with gold or silver paper if liked, and the intersections can be concealed by bows or rosettes of the tissue paper.

 W known to be purty good
 0 man in scrimmage," began
 the old possum hunter of Tennessee as we got our pipes alight one evening and I asked him for a story. Nobody around yere cared to tackle me, and on one occasion, when they sent over to Moth Caroleeny fur a fighter, had him on the run in ten nninits I wasn't pickin' no fusses, yo' understand. but jest gwine right along and mindin' my own bizness. If any body come along and wanted to fuss with me, he got hurt. If he didn't want to fuss. I had nuthin' to say.
 '.One year was feelin' as if could tear up rocks, when got in the way of fallin' tree and was badly hurt. I hadn't bin abed above fo' days when along comes a critter who says to the old woman:
 # 'Howdy, ma'am, and does fel1er named Feb White live around these yere parts?'
 He lives right yere.' she says.
 And ar he, man as can outyell, outjump and outright any other critter as stands on legs in TennesseaY

 "That's what I've heard, and I've travelled ninety-seven miles to make him holler like young coon. If he hain't about the cabin please tell me whar to find him, kase I want to pull verize him to once and start back home
 ssThe ole woman had to tell him that was in bed and too hurt to lift hand, and he took advantage of it to blow and bluff around in way to al- most break my heart. He went around the nayborhood to tell everybody that was hidin from him and that he wouldn't go home till he had made me holler, and it was all the ole woman could do to keep me quiet. Every day fur five days that varmint come over yere, and, standin' out thar by that stump, he would jump up and down on his hat and flop his arms and yell:

Surprise That 1t Gave a Western
 Bully.
 "In all Mfr. Roosevelt's life on the frontier" says Jacob Riis. writing about the president in the Outlook, "he was molested only once and then by a drunken rowdy who took him for a tenderfoot and with curse bade him treat at the point of his two revolvers, enforcing the invitation with a little exhibition of gun play while a room ful of men looked stolidly on. Roose- welt was a stranger in the town and had no friends there. He got up ap- parently to yield to the inevitable, prac- tic1ng over mentally the while a fa- nous left handler that had done execu- ton in the old Harvard days.
 The next instant the bully crashed against the wall and measured his length on the floor. His pistols went off harmlessly in the air. He opened his eyes to find the four eyed tenderfoot standing over him bristling with fight, while the crowd nodded calmly, Served him right He surrendered then and there and gave ID his guns, while Mir. Roosevelt went to bed unmo- tested. Such things carry far on the plains. No one was ever after that heard to express wish to fill this tan- derfoot full of holes,' even though he did wear gold spectacles and fringed angora

 .'The old woman saw her chance and took advantage of it. She told this second critter that I'd gone to town and that if he'd call ag'in in the even in I'd make bars meat of him in no time. The other one was sure to turn up as we'll, and sunthin' might happen when they met. Sunthin' did happen. Both critters come along about 9 o'clock at night and begun to blow and brag. They forgot all about me in wantin' to show off to each other. Of all the blowin' and braggin' ever did hear in all my life that took the cake. First one would flop his arms and crow like rooster and tell what he had dun, and then he would shet up and gin the oth- er chance. They kept it up fur an hour, all the time cussin' and darin' each other to strike the fust blow, and then they took holt and begun to ,wras- sle around. They tore up a good deal of sile, but not blow was struck Arter bit they let go and begun siow- tn ag'in, and it was quarter of an hour befo' there was any mo wras- slin'.
 "tZeb.' says the old woman as we listens, thar ain't an ounce of fight in both of 'em, and yo' needn't worry kase yo' can't go out
 "It was true what she said. They was jest blowhards, and if I'd bin able to walk out on 'em they'd have run at the fust yell When they haP kept it up fur an hour and mo- and hadn't even pulled hair begun to git tired of it. So did the old woman. They was tearin' up all the grass and break. in down all the sunfowers, but wasn't doin' any fghtin'. Bimeby the old woman knocks the ashes outer her pipe and says:
 ".Zeb, them critters has got lots of wind, but no grit. They'll keep this fussin' up all night if sunthfn' ain't dun.'
 ''She waited ten minits mo and then got the hickory broom and softly open ed the door. The critters had quit blow in to git their wind back, and neither saw the old woman till she was nigh enough fur bizness. She fetched each one of 'em whack as hard as she could draw, and, with a yell, both started on run. She didn't foller lem fur, but I'll bet neither stopped fur mile. That was the end, except that both of 'em stopped next day at house to say that they had left me dead in front of my cabin and to ax folks to attend the funeral and to take warnin' by my fate. Cantankerousness used to be mighty plenty around yere few years ago, but it's skass article these days. When critter begins to jump on his hat and tell about bitin' off tree tops somebody up and spits terbacker juice on his hat and leads him off by the ear" M. QUAD.
