"REMINISCENCES OF THE
 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR BY
 CHAPLAIN OF ENSLEYLODGE
By The Rev. J. w. FULFoRp

While soldier, the chaplain of Ems ley lodge 9S7, who at that time was called "Deak" for short, had a bunky by the name of Jake" Wise. Jake was from Indiana and was every inch a "Hoosier," There was not the least bit of likeness between Jake and the writer, but there was the strongest bond of friendship that ever held two men together. My bunky was a per fectly peaceable man between pay days but on that day he declared war on all enemies of liquid fellowship" Jake was a good scrapper and loved fight whenever there was principle" be- hind it.
 We were quartered in the Ayun- tamiento the governor generals head quarters, in the city of Manila, and were known for IS months as the Palace Guards" While we were envied by all the rest of the soldiers in the city for the position we occupied, I think the outfit deserved all the favors we got, for it was no common com pany. Six commissioned officers were made from it's ranks in three years, and
 
 high, with discipline and service per- feet.
 Life was somewhat monotonous at times during these first IS months. Guard duty was heavy and our lib- erty was very much restricted. Any diversion was a Godsend to us. Jake came to me one day with the impor- tant news that the companys me- chanic was soon to be discharged and would return to the states" Jake's proposition was that we buy his shoe repair outfit and stock of American leather for $5 and set up in business for ourselves
 Jake had more character than ex- perience in this business, or we would never have been justified in so great a venture In those days was Jack of all trades" and had experi- ence in anything that for the moment was found to be necessary regardless of whether I ever worked at It. Jake asked me in confidence, "If I could re- pair shoes" I told him that I had not worked at the business, but that could repair anything that any man walked in. I told Jake that I was brim full of experience, but that I was broke as to cash and that if he would pay for the outfit I would go him fifty-fifty in the expense and pay him pay day.
 As a general rule soldier is al- ways broke. He is always in need, be- cause he is broke, and Jake and I were no exception to this rule. We were just as broke as was necessary to keep in the habit. But at that we had a great deal of fun out of always being broke, because we had the pleasure of making bills and enjoying the things we bought this way, and finally when we paid up we enjoyed the reputation of always paying our bills. We were par ticular about getting all there was in

 for while we named it last it was by
 no means least of all the other sources
 for we loved the praise of men,"

 business. I used the word smelly" dis creetly and advisedly. { am glad

 Jake and felt the pinch of poverty, the need of cash. We had borrowed every stray dollar in camp every nickle and dime had become prey to our greed. Acting upon the law among soldiers that i What's yours is mine and what's mine is my own,' we would have sold any thing from the captains side arms to the cooks unused helmet had there been any
 market for these things. I had a camera that was of Nno earthly use whatever, except to keep me dead broke buying supplies upon which 1t was unable to impress single object as a good camera should. I pointed that camera at every body and everything just like true fiend would, but to this day it has refused to make single impression. I had been victimized by the first sergeant who sold | it to me at bargain prices.
 My experiences with that camera con vinced me that the first sergeant was justified in getting rid of it even in as glowing terms as 1t took to induce me to buy it. At first I was "ticlkled to death with my bargain, afterwards I got mad
 about 1t and wanted to fight somebody said the first sergeant had seen me com ing, but finally I forgave him all and
 adopted the same method and one day in perfect sunburst of elegant terms [ disposed of that camera to as raw re-
 cruit as I had been in the beginning,
 and that is saying a good deal for the i munifcent sum of S5.
 Jake heard of my raise even before I
 had gotten through telling that recruit what he could do with that camera, pro vided his funds held out. He came to my assistance at once as though the possession of so much money at one time exceeded my abilities to protect it, and offered to relieve me from any further custody of his $250, and the other was perfectly good money, would have passed anywhere in the old U. s. A.; that was before the days of the Germanic con- quest when we had a real army, and as I was under no obligations to pay Jake until pay day, I simply could not resist the call of my own need just then. Re-
 member I was broke. I told Jake that I needed the money. But so far as was able to learn at the time this made no impression upon that bunlzy of mine. He argued his own need as of greater l importance, to him. of course and I
 never could get to see it any other way. | I told Jake just how I felt about 1t, but as he was of the argumentative ' LA -tI I,4 h. kk1,, to the captain if did not pay him on the spot. Now, Jake knew the force of my resolution. So when told him
 that if he took me to the captain that

1 that would be all he would ever get out | of 1t he reconsidered the matter. Jake wanted his money, and was not going to run any danger of losing an otherwise good account. You see Jake was diplo- mat. This closed the matter as thought. But I had not completely understood Jake.
 Sometime before this I had given Jake Bible bound in khaki as a souvenir of our soldier friendship. Now Jake was not a very religious fellow though he re- spected religion. I always wanted Jake to become Christian. I don't mean that Jake was heather. He was too much of an American for that. Undoubtedly he was one of the best and truest friends ever had, and my experiences with him were among the most interesting of my whole life. So when, during the next two or three days I saw Jake reading the Bible, l thought my influence had begun to tell for good upon Jake. was glad, of course and silently enjoyed the contemplation of having my friend more completely my own as his becoming a Christian would have made him. But was disappointed this time.
 At last one day Jake came to mo and said, "Deak, I want you to read from the 18th to the 14th chapter of Romans and tell me what you think of it.' I read perfectly familiar scripture and nothing that was needing my commentary until to the Sth verse of the 18th chapter. St. Paul distinctly tells the Romans to ''owe no many anything, but to love one an- other" Tt dawned upon me for the first time what Jake had been doing those two or three days. As I look back upon it am more convinced than ever that Jake earned his $2.5O even though I was under no obligation to pay him before pay day. The room was filled with men of our squad so I called Jake and very quietly said, Jake I'll pay you right now'' Jake told all the fellows that if ever the deacon" owed them any money that they were afraid he would not pay all they had to do was to get him to read the Bible and he would cer- tainly pay up.

Clean sweep for the Teeth

From the Popular Sclence MonthIy.
 Practically, the tooth brush is minia- ture scrubbing brush. It works well enough in cleaning the surfaces of the teeth But in cleaning the spaces be- tween them-the very parts that need cleaning most-it is deficient. Food will collect between the teeth before it will collect anywhere else. If not removed it starts to decay.
 A rotary tooth brush cleans out the crevices between the teeth as we'll as the tooth surfaces. The brush is guided with one hand and turned with the other. The metal guard prevents the bristles from touching the inside of the mouth the turning bristles rotate parallel to the crevices some scrubbing the surfaces of the teeth and others penetrating into the crevices.
