Gettira Them Just RiQht.

A well-known inventor who had be- come dissatisfied with the work of his tailor decided to try a. new one. In giving his order for a pair of trousers he instructed the new tailor to be careful to have them made ac- cording to the shape of his legs, as he was not satisfied with what he had been getting. The tailor made notes as he progressed with the measure ments. A week later the trousers were finished and delivered. As the inventor opened the box he saw a work tag on the pants which the tailor had neglected to remove On the tag were the measurements, also these words heavily underscored:

An officer of the army tells how Mai Whipple of the Second Massa- chusetts regiment, veteran of the civil war, hastened to Washington when the Spanish war broke out and offered his services to President Me Kinley.
 But all officers. as well as men, had to undergo a physical examination, and it was stated to Maj. Whipple that he would have to place himself in the hands of the examining doctors at Worcester.
 Now, Maj Whipple while man of great bodily strength and perfect health and activity was a little de ficient in the matter of teeth. An eX- amining surgeon proposed to exclude him Cn that account.

T. T. D. Andrews, of Fort Worth,
the man who, a year ago at Amarillo.
placed in nomination the city of Ros-
we'll as the meeting place of the cat
tlemen's convention il 1907, and by
his splendid speech on that occasion
earned the title 'Demosthenes of the
Cattlemen's Association" left this
morning for his home. Before leaving
he was talking of the late conven-
ton and of Roswell in general. He
warmed to his subject, and as part
ing shot was heard to say: "The con-
ventio1 was one of the most success
full in the history of the Panhandle,
or the whole western country. The
people of the Southwest were with
Roswell like the Queen of Sheba was
with King Solomon's court. They had
heard of the beauties and wonders of
the place until, from the immensity
of the reports, they were doubtful OF
their reliability; but now they have
come and seen and they say with the
queen of old, The half had never
been told"

the military and constabulary. Seven
hundred houses were destroyed and
eight or ten thousand natives are
homeless. There was no loss of life

the most severe in fifteen years, were
not violent enough to cause mucn

Manila, P. l., April 2O.-Fire des-
troyed LOO houses and parts of the
districts of Singalo1g, Paco and Bam-
bang in Manila this afternoon. The
settlements at Ermita and Malate es-
capped through the hard work of the
firemel soldiers and citizens. The
flames, famed by heavy gale, swept
100 acres clean, destroying the homes
of 100 American residents and 1000
natives. The property damage is es-
timated at 100000. No loss of life.
The native refugees are now shell
tered in schools and other buildings,
while many are camping in open
spaces.
LATER The officials of the
health department did not agree with
the estimate of damage given above,
which was made by the police and
iremen. They assert that 269 houses
were destroyed and 1900 natives rem
dered homeless. Their estimate of
the financial loss is about the same
as that of the other municipal de-
Irartment.

sleight-of-hand that were little less

Amarillo defeated the Military In
tion week tournament at Amusement
Park yesterday afternoon by a close
standpoint it was a creditable game,
as the Individual playing on both sides
was good, but from the spectators
standpoint it was the most tedious
and exasperating of the series. AL
most from the start there were wralg-
lings over the decisions of the umpire
and tine continued quarrels and dis
putes were decidedly tiresome to the
spectators. On one occasion Captain
Butler, of the Amarillo team, threaten
ed to quit the game unless a new UNI
pire was put in, but he was finally
coaxed out of his intention.
Another unpleasant feature was the
blood that flowed, all from accidental
injuries. In the fifth inning O'Rourke
catcher for the Institute, received a
the outfeld and made a change of Lob
man from first to catcher and Hester
from outfield to first. Another acci-
dent in the fatal fifth came when Foy
Amarillo's catcher was terribly spik-
ed in the instep. This caused Smith
to come from second to back-stop, But
Ter from center to second and Dewitt
was put into the game and sent to cen
ter. Another incident of the fifth was
the batting out of the box of Miller,
Amarillo's pitcher. and the substitu-
ton of Weber, fresh from the bench.
Then in the seventh Aston cut cash
to the bone. from end to end of the
thumb. in sliding home, either on the
plate or the catcher's spike. Low
rance was put in the game in his place
in the eighth.
The game forged along under these
unusual circumstances, mixed with the
above mentioned squabbles until the
last nalf of the seventh, when the Wis
itors tied the score, five to five. There
was nothing doing until the last half
of the ninth, when Weller got two
base hit, was sacrificed to third by Nc
Alester. Then with one man out and
McCloskey at the bat, Weller ran in
on a passed ball. There was doubt as
to whether Lohman tagged the runner
or not before ne reached home plate.
The umpire called it safe, and the
game was over.
