Sentry NeedIessIy Worried

Charles Allen, a negro trusty at No
8 police station in Armourdale, was a
member of the Twenty-third Kansas
regiment which went to Cuba during
the Spanish-American war, says the
Kansas City Star. While he scrubbed
the floor of the police station recently
he told how Lem Thompson, another
negro in the same regiment, killed a
supposed Spaniard
1t happened while the regiment was
doing garrison duty at San Louis de
Cuba Thompson was on guard one
night. While he walked past a BAN
boo brake he heard something moving
about in the tall grass. 1t was in
the enemy's country and Lem sup
posed that he was about to encounter
a Spaniard
Halt cried the guard as he raised
his gun.
On came the Spaniard, paying no
attention TO the command
BOOM" Thompson fired, threw
down his gun and started toward the
garrison. When the soldiers heard
the noise and rushed out they met
Thompson running toward them.
Il killed a Spaniard down there in
the grass he said.
When the soldiers approached the
bamboo they heard a rustling sound in
the grass.
He's still kicking" one of them
said.
They went closer and discovered
Thompson's Spaniard 1t was a small
burro with large ears and a shaggy
hide. The little animal had a bullet
hole in its head.

Volcanic Dust Showers.

which had been in full swing for days,
have both been stopped.
AS the season of the year is most
unusual for occurrences of this kind,
and there is neither any record Of
volcanic eruptions in Europe or of tho
dustfall taking place anywhere else,

familiar one, even to persons who do
not frequent horse races, that few
stop to wonder at its origin, and few
