John Costlow, an Ottumwan who is
located at present in a regiment of
United States troops near Manila,
writes that he has re-enlisted
and will not be able to return
till 1906. In letter written
by him to his aunt, Mrs. Mary Madden,
COL East Main street, he gives a slight
insight into soldier life in the Philip
pines that is not all unpleasant.
His letter. written two months ago
at Camp Bumpus, at Tacloban, on the
island of Leyte, is as follows:
II received your kind and ever well
come letter a few days ago. It was
about two months on the road here.
The reason for this was that our COM
pany changed stations just before
Christmas, and all our mail was held
up at our last station till they found
out whether we were coming back or
not. Our company relieved four COM
panies Of the Eighteenth Infantry at
this place who were getting ready to
go home. 1t took us about twenty
hours sailing to get here from our last
station. This town has about 10000
inhabitants, mostly Philippines and
Chinese. Our station is about four
miles south of Manila. The barracks
are all along the water front, and each
morning everybody goes in swimming
because it is so healthy, and you get
such a good appetite after being in

For School Teacher and Parents.

The mathematical editor of the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil pro-
pounds the following arithmetical
problem, which is solved with start
ling clearness by Bailey of Britt:
"a boy feet, 6inches and weighing
81 pounds can climb tree 65 feet
tall and ten inches through in i
minute and seconds. How nany
minutes will it take him to climb
out of bed foot inches high on
a cold morning."
Britt Tribune-That is nothing
but plain mathematical problem.
1t will be easier to do it by algebra.
Let \ equal the boy, if he is of
average size, or if he has been
"stunted" let it equal two bows, It
can do that easily when it comes to
getting up in the morning in the
winter. Your tree is to darned
high, call it 40 feet and foot
through, that will be nearer to it.
Now multiply the tree by the bed,
reduce the minutes to inches and
the seconds to pounds, extract the
square root by winding the
hypotenuse around the boys neck.
take one bed slat for his base, an.
other for his perpendicular and
when you get the root apply it
where it will do the most good. In
ordinary weather if the square root
holds out, and the ped slat dosen't
break, the answer should be in
seconds. You can also do it by the
rule of three, but we always
found the rule of two sufficient
for our boys when they didn't
weigh more than 81 pounds apiece.

step children, Mrs. Peter Theilen
of Templeton, Mrs. Micheal Blum
of Westphalia, Peter Clemen of
Ipswich, South Dakota, still live ia
comfort and solace the aged moth
er in this her bereavement.
In 1854 the family moved to An

BAD NEGRO CAPTURED.
Chief Henderson of Troy Lands Him
 After Lively Chase.


 Troy, March 6.-(Special) )-Chief of Po- lice E. M. Henderson made today what he thinks to be very important capture in the shape of a bad negro. He found the man acting suspiciously at negro house in the outskirts of the city, and when he began to question him closely, instead of answering questions the black decided to run. On being commanded to halt the negro put on little more steam and left the Chief behind.
 However, MT. Henderson hasn't chased foxes and coons over these hills for noth- ing, and he figured that the head of steam that MT. Nigger was carrying would naturally land him at a certain spot before he could put on breaks; so when his coonship arrived at the afore- mentioned place the Chief was Johnnie on the spot" Notwithstanding the display of a five-chambered convincer on the part of the Chief, the negro tried a second time to make a break, but the Chief has very persuasive way about him at times and finally succeeded in convincing the negro that 1t would be more conducive to his health to accept the Chiefs invita- tion to spend a few days in the city prison. The negro is about feet inches high, weighs about 140 pounds. very black skin and good teeth. It is thought he es- caped from some convict camp.

THE LENTEN MAID.

Very demure and quite penitent the Lem ten maid will wend her way churchward After the grey dawn of Ash Wednesday she will turn frcm worldly things and in her observance of the penitential season conform to the customs of her church. If the restrictions are too great no one will be any the wiser, for the ideal Lenten maid accepts them with resignation.
 Attired simply she takes advantage of the quiet days to develope spiritually, and at the same time to improve herself physically. She keeps more regular hours, and lives more out of doors. There are long walks in the country golfing on her club links, and altogether the Lenten sea- son, when properly observed, means a great deal, spiritually mentally and physically to the modern woman.
