There is in mincng words; Gen. Bell
is considered one of the most daring and dashing
officers in the American service He wears
medal of honor for charging "singlehanded and
alone" a body of armed Fflipinos. He shot
at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army
parlance: "They didn't get him. but he got

number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago l was making an Off
cial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. 1 noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.

other nations were to take part IN tne reliei eA-
nadit;on and he wished the men of his own coun-
- 10 chow themselves worthy in the sight OF the
men of other countries
They did show themselves worthy, and they re-
sponded to the call of their commander with an
alacrty that made the American leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with dlmculties
and dangers almost unparalleled IN modern war
fare.
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
he1ioye that Gen Chaffee did not sleep an hour
during the march to Peking The soldiers VINO
made the march declare that the nights in emma
are black; that 1t is impossible to see anything at
all without the aid of artificial light, and these IN
the bivouacs of the soldiers were forbidden Tor
precautionary reasons. There was no dehnlte
knowledge of the forces that might be in the pain
of the expedition and Knew what surprises
the night might Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers
say constituted himself sentinel who refused to
be relieved from guard, and through the nights he
was alert and watching, and through the days he
alert and marching.
There are stories by the of men who are
supposed to bear charmed lives The hero of the
book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds
rain, and in the reading of it one finds 1t hard to
believe that truth could be stranger than this
fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear a charmed
life he has the largest allowance of luck that has
fallen to any one man.
Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for
bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to
him for gallantry in the civil service, and two
for gallantry in battles with the Indians. He
led a cavalry charge rough and precipitous
bluffs, where cavalry charge thought to be
a feat wellnigh impossible.
He rode at the head of his men straight into

until they had poured volley after volley into Chat

Straight into the village went Bell at the head
of his men. Dawn streaks were beginning to
show in the sky, but the warriors were asleep
past the ordinary waking, for were not the SEN
tines posted and were they not bound by every
tradition of tribal honor to be awake and watch
full?
Lieut. Bell had given his orders. The vii
lage was cordoned with troops and there wasn't
q mousehole of escape. Bell has whimsical
humor. In the very heart of the Tagalog village

taken by the Tagaogs from the Spaniards of an
other day, and which the natives were hoping to
against the equally hated Americans. Bell
detailed loading party of three men. The three

Gen L. Franklin Bell is the youngest officer
who ever held the position of chief of staff. He
is genial general and he is willing to talk when
he properly may the subjects touching his
profession. AS the joker put it. he is Bell who
knows when to ring off He avoids the sins of
silence and of speech, wherein he shows that he is
wiser in his generation than some OF his prede-

of the expedition which went to the

won a fame in China which is not

The generals of Europe have CIV

command Of the Chinese expedition
reached Gen. Chaffee while he was
at Nagasaki on board steamer
which was to take him to the PM

and the general had practically no
chance for campaign preparations.
He was to go into strange land, to
lead an expedition against strange
people, and not only was 1t expected
of him that he be successful, but
that success be won quickly, for the

English Varsity Rugby Trip.
u Is reported from the Pacific coast that
a combined Rugby team from oxford and
Cambridge may make a trip very soon to
California to meet the teams there. The
California Rugby union has the affair In
hand now and is attempting to make ar
ransements to bring about such a meeting.
Individual clubs have come to this coun-
try before this TO play. but the tour Of
a university team would be something
entirely new. Games would probably
be arranged with Stanford and Call

ls likely too that the British players would
be asked to engage with some OF the clubs

II IS recited that the receipts for the
game beteween Stanford and California
recently on Stanford field were for the
attendance OF 1900 persons, the largest
crowd that over watched a game at STAN

receipts Of the game on California field
In 1908, where the crowds generally are
greater tina at stanford.
