BITTER SWEET

1t was a sweet, sad play, and there was hardly a dry handkerchief in the house. But one man in the first bal cony irritated his neighbors exces- slvely by refusing to take the per formance in the proper spirit. h. stead of weeping he laughed. While others were hopping their eyes, his own brimmed with merriment and he burst into inappropriate guyaws.
 At last the lady on his side turned upon him idignantly:
 "l don't know what brought you here,Y she sobbed, with streaming eyes, and pressing her hand against her aching heart, but if y-you don't like the p-play you might l-let other p-people enjoy it."

HAVE YOU SEEN MIKE?
 MASCOT OF THE GOTH

The News received the folloving message from Houston, Texas, this morning:
 Houston, Texas, 7-17. News, Prescott, Arkansas. Mascot Fighting Irish Regimen SiXty-ninth N. Y. Infantry, left in Prescott. Irish terrier; answers to name of "Mike." Please locate and forward express collect Colonel Con- ley at Pharr, Texas. Was presented to regiment by Captain Donnelly. Adjt. J. w. CIJRTEY
 The Sixty-ninth Company of New York Infantry, passed through here Saturday afternoon and arrived at Texarkana in the evening where they remained Saturday night asd Sunday. Inquiries here fail to locate Mike" up to the time of going to press this afternoon.
 Today's Texarkana Four States Press has this to say of the 100 per cent" Irish regiment:
 TeXarkana was afforded the oppor- tunity Saturday night and Sunday oil day of seeing various sections of the Fighting 69th" of New York state. one of the most famous guard regi- nests in the entire personnel of the national guard.
 One of the features about this crack regiment is the fact that it has been one of the best equipped and is composed of some of the most splen- did specimens of physical manhood that have been seen en route to the border as part of the forces to look after the honor of the nation.
 The regiment, formerly command ed by Col. John Jacob Astor, multi millionaire, has been maintained at the highest standard of efficiency since its organization, and despite the fact that there has been practi- cally unlimited wealth at it's com mand, nothing has been allowed to become lax from the standpoint of military disciplise.
 To enlist in the famous 69th, re- quires the applicant to be virtually perfect in health, and it is the boast of many of its members that the regiment is, as they put it, HOO per |cent Irish"
 It is understood from some of the men and officers that less than three per cent of the men were rejected, owing to physical disability and in a number of cases this rejectios was waived.
 The regiment is virtually at war strength, fully equipped, with avery man said to be thoroughly qualified and tested soldier
 On a telephone order from Little Rock, from a correspondent of the Hearst News Service, George J. Gray was advised that the command com ing in the 69th New York desired to have furnished 900 watermelons, to be presented to the individual mem bers of the command as a gift from W. R. Hearst himself. The order was filled to the extent of 400 melos3, this being all that it was possible for Mr Gray and his assistants to get together in the short time allotted after receiving the telephone ordew.
