she felt free to indulge her pet extrav-

seem that Providence had put that
sandwich man right there ahead of her.
Breathless and excited, she rushed
past the man to get front view of the
clock. Oh, joy, There was the long
hoped for little face and the cuckoo
half emerging from his arch as though
the clock had stopped just as he start
ed to announce the hour.
Samantha clapped her hands in an
ecstasy of rapture.

down on Thirteenth street now"
For the first time she turned her eyes
from the sign to the man whose way
she had blocked. All the light of joy
faded from her face and left it ashen.
"Hiram" she cried. Hiram SHELF

ever, looking at the trim little woman
before him and pulling surreptitiously
at his Worn and soiled vest.
The pallor of her face changed to
flush of anger and resentment as she
looked at the disheveled Old man.
"Hiram Shell" she said forcibly,

$2,03 g gents for car fare, gave him
her address and told him vigorously
to hurry up before he forgot what he

after her with meek if hungry eyes.

Spain He says in part:
Half of our regiment, the 9th Infantry,
was operating against the Pulijanes, Island
of Samar, from June to September, but
everything is quiet again. Nearly all of
the regular troops have been returned to
their proper stations. Company f of the
9Th Infantry was aboard of the T. s..
S. A. T. Carman when she was stranded
off the east coast of Samar during the ter
ribie typhoon of last September. The Mas
bate and the Leyte went down to the ur-
fathomable caves of the tropic seas. I cam
not find language adequate to describe
properly these tropical storms called ty-
phoons. The works of man. in fact even
those of nature herself, afford little resist
ance to their wild and terrific force Like
scourge they sweep over the land and

tains present with 1.-THE regiment in the
Philippines for duty. The absence of so
many captains makes the duties OF the
lieutenants very heavy. We are not COM
planning, as we are getting the experience
we need. Our battalion numbers eleven
officers and $50 men. All are in excellent
condition; there are very few cases of i'll
ness.
Everything over here being so quiet as
sures us of much garrison duty. which at
best is a very stupid way to exist. This
monotony is occasionally relieved by an
earthquake or a typhoon. The rainy sea-

The girl with weak lungs should give spe-

These breathing exercises were fully de-

girl who is thoroughly Interested in regain

deep breathing helpful exercise, and done

to eyes wearied by insomnia. Normal ex-
ercise stimulates and builds up tissues and
muscles. Abnormal exercise strains and
breaks them down. The acrobat who smil-

who ties herself up in weird knots both

ever shadowing them. A little knowledge
of physical culture is apt to be a dangerous
possession, and no woman should ever
strain the beautiful mechanism which no
