P. S. I've got a monkey.

In Manila Harbor, Aug. 81, 1898.
Well, here we are, and the fight is
all over, Manila has fallen with hardly
a struggle. The S. D. Regiment was
not here, however. We have 10000
Spanish prisoners and the U. S. army
in possession. We arrived here about
n o'clock p. m, and we have heard
very little authentic Jews 1t is the
report that our regiment will be en-
camped in a Spanish cathedral at Ca
vite, and will guard the Spanish Of
fiecrs taken prisoner, also we will act
as an outpost and keep track of the
insurgents who are pretty saucy, we
understand. This is all I can tell you
about the situation here now.
About the trip here. 1t took us
eight days to reach Honolulu; Fl days
from Honolulu to Manila, making 90
days on the water. We made as good
time as any of the transports though,
/ guess. We had bad luck with the
ice machines and had to drink warm
water. Also we had insufficient cook,
ing equippage and could not cook
things properly, and then again the
government ration is not sufficient for
a man where he cannot get anything
else. Our men have not been sick
much only they are weak from lack
of suitable food and insufficient ex-
ercise. | was in luck myself. / was
detailed to assist in handling the ra-
lions at the kitchen and also see to
getting them ready to cook. All
did was to boss. When there was
anything in the government stuff /

are getting awful strict. Four roll
calls a day; M in the morning, one
at 1l:l5 a. M, one at 800 p. M, and
retreat. We are supposed to stay in
quarters from II a. m. to 8 p. M, but
you bet your life we don't. We go
away in the morning and don't show
up until night but every little While
some pin head officer sees some un-
lucky fellow down town, and then he
is yanked up before a summary court
and fined and sent to the guard house,
I expect some day I'll get caught, but
is the expression goes, | am pretty
foxy. When a fellow gets in the
guard house everyone in the com
pany considers it more of a joke than
anything else. The most disagreeable
feature about these things is the fines
which range from SIS to SIS. One fell
low in "B" got IS and ten days be-
cause the bed clothing on his bunk
was not arranged just right. Getting
in the guard house is no disgrace. Men
are put in for any trifling offense.
Now you must not think that we do
not have any good times. When we
do have a good time we have the
"corkinest" good times you ever heard
of and when we do have grief it is a
straight dose of hell. 1t does not
take much to make a soldier happy.
The arrival of the mail steamer makes
us happy and then W. sit around and
recall the funny things which have
happened and other things and laugh
and sing; some of the boys have mu-
steal instruments. Then we go out
on out post or on guard around, quar-
tiers, wear a belt full of cartridges
twenty-four hours without having it
or our clothing off, get all bit up by
mosquitoes, then we want to and do
say damn.

Should Fatten The Farm,

A contributor to the current issue
OF Farm and Fireside says tendency
exists among many farmers to burn
up all cornstalks, loose straw. clover

Every time an acre of stalks Ia
burned 81 pounds OF nitrogen goes
into the air and will cost o. so 10 buy

times this amount.
