The following letter from Merrill

and others:
Manila, 1 I., Nov. 15, 18!W. Dear-
Friend Dummie: I was very inueh
pleased to got your letter the other
night. I was in bed when the mall
was brought to quarters, but when
mail was announced you may be sure I
didn't stay there very loner, but
tumbled out to see if there was any
for me. I have always wanted to hear
from tho band, and have looked for a
letter every mall, but. before this?, al
ways in vain. T am very glad to hear
that tho band is getting along so well,
and hopo they will put in good prac
tice this winter so they will bo fitted
for a moro successful eoason next um
mor. I hopo that I will do with you
again by tho opening of the season in
May, although just now the chances
eeem to bo pretty bright for our stay
ing here two years. I am getlitig very
tired of this country, and ioug ty iee
what will soon be the 9no -bo'ol
hills of old IMaltsmoulh. Ti.e

welcome whn I do j.T
playing tuba ii tho First
band now and no not have iuuc:
Friday, Saturday and Sunday '. c

there was a big typnoon rajiii s
; t 5
Olu.-.
band couldn't play. Wo havo to
at 8:30 every morning' for guard
mounting and sometimes at 5 p. ra. for
dress parade or regimental drill. It
is tiresome when we have the drill, sa
we mircli about two or three miles
and play almost tho whole time.
About tho hardest of all, though, is
when the regiment is forming, as we
have-to play a mircn while they form.
I am got', n? so I C in do pretty well
for a "scrub,' now. We play "Under
the Doub e Kagle," but it is cot the
same uri angement aa we have at home.
Wo have a good many pretty pieces
here, and soma Spanish. We had
dress parade out south of the walled
city last Wednesday, about three
miles from our quarters.
We have a good many players in the
band that are tine musicians, but some
how the leader don't take the right
hold of the business, and the band
can't play as weli as the M. W. A.
band of Plattsmouth. I have often
wished that our band had gotten to be
the First regiment band, as we would
have had a chance to get a good deal
of practice, as well as make a name
and earn some money besides.
I wish that I could have been with
you when you went to Omaha, as I ex
pect you had a high old time. I am
very sorry I had to mis9 the expo
sition, but I would not have missed
this trip and the experiences I have
gone through for anything. It has
been worth a small fortune ,to me. I
suppose Don Atwood is very proud to
think ho was with the army that
helped whip the Spaniard, and well
he may be. I am proud that I can say
that when the army marched forward
to the attacK on Manila I was there,
and was able to come clear through to
the end and to see and take part in
raising the tiret flag in New Manila.
I hare done a man's part in this war
have stood guard in camp and city,and
have been on dangerous duty during
time of battle, have heard the bullets
whistle and tho shells "scream." I
have come almost as near to yielding
up my life as a good many. During the
day of August 2 we were entrench
ing at our outpost east of Pasai, when
a Spanish sharpshooter took a shot at
us. His a.m was a little off, as the
bullet pai.-ed iy me, but s-o clo-e thai
I cuuld feel the wind."
I have several re.?cs IUl I- j -ing
to bring home; a few bul.t : I
picked up on the battle field H"1 .
Mauser sheils. If I could only r -' -side
the iines a d could gotoom tu
rner outpost ea?t of P.iai, I could ge:
a Spanish shell that was tired from
their battery at us, as we found where
it hit and then dug it out of the
ground, but we didn't have any way of
carrying it, eo we hid it.
Wednesday Nov. 16. Today has
been a very hot day, and has put the
thought of overcoats very far from my
mind. Friday, S itui day and Sunday,
however, an overcoat would not havt
been uncomfortaole, and while down
town I did see some soldiers with their
army overcoat9 on. I wore my heavy
blue uniform, and even then a little
more wouid not have been too much.
We had dre-s parade last night, and
when, after marching down in front of
the battalion, we started to counter
march, my front rank man (the ba.se.-
are placed in the second rank) got a
little mixed up and didn't do hi part
right, and mixed the whole band upso
that it threw me out of ranks, and I
had a procession back to the band's
place all by myself. It was the worst
mix up I was ever in. I suppose we
will have another dress parade to
night or else a regimental drill. I
have not been very well today, am
feeling all out of sorts and badly dis
gusted with life aDd everything in
general and the army in particular. I
hope that the commissioners at Paris
will soon settle their little differences
and let us go home, and that I may be
on my way home by too tlmo tnis
reachos you. Tho first call for dress
p trade has sounded, so I, mu it close
now. uive my regards to all the rest
of the hoyH, and tell them I would like
to hear from tho rest of them. Sin
cerely your friend.

Leprosy Is Not Hereditary.
That lepresy is a contagious disease
is unanimously admitted by the best
authorities, but the exact manner of its
contagion is certainly difficult to un
derstand. There are many examples
of persons living for years in the most
Intimate family relations with lepers
and remaining uninfected. And often
but one member of the family will ac
quire the disease. On the other hand,
the history of the disease in different
parts of the world shows that its origin
can always be traced to human impor
tation. There are also a very largp
number of recorded cases where lep
rosy has resulted from a single contact
of an abraded surface with some lesion
or secretion of an infected individual.
These apparently contradictory facts
must be explained on the theory that
some peculiar, inherent predisposition,
which exists only in a limited number
of Individuals, Is necessary for the de
velopment of this strange disease.
There is no reason to believe that lep
rosy 13 a hereditary disease. North

Xhacheray on Tennyson 1841.
Thackery wrote: "Alfred Tennyson,
if he can't make you like him, will
make you admire him he seems to me
to have the cachet of a great man; his
conversation is often delightful I
think, full of breadth, manliness and
humor. He reads all sorts of things,
swallows them, and digests them like
a great poetical boa constrictor, as he
is. Now, I hope, Mrs. Proctor, you will
recollect that if your humble servant
sneers at small geniuses he has, on
the contrary, a huge respect for big
ones. Perhaps it is Alfred Tennyson's
great big yellow face and growling
voice that have made an imprpssion on
me; manliness and simplicity of man
ner go a great way with me, I fancy."

The Keanon Why.
A good story is told of an English
naval officer, whose ship was stationed
off the coast of Ceylon, ami who went
off for a day's shooting along the
coast, accompanied by a native attend
ant well acquainted with the country.
Coming to a particularly inviting river
the officer resolved to have a bath and
asked the native to show him a place
where there were no alligator. The
native took him to a pool close to the
estuary. The officer thoroughly en
joyed his dip, and, while drying him
self, he asked his guide why there
were never any alligators in that pool.
"Because, sar," promptly replied the
Cingalese, "they plenty 'fraid of
shark."
Street Car Incident.
A man with an incipient jag boarded
a Gilmor street car this morning and
asked the conductor: "Does this car
go to Highlandtown'."' The conductor
did not hear the question, and the man
asked, Indignantly: "I want to know,
and know quick. If this car gors to
Highlandtown?" The conductor an
swered that it did not, and that the
route mapped out by the railway offi
cials for him, and which he would take
barring a collision. break-down,
or running off the track, was
by the Gilmor street way. The
dazed man asked, in an injured tone:
"And don't this car go to Highland

It don't. I don't like Highlaniltown."

A Scotch Craniioc
On the shore of the River Clyde,
about a mile from Dumbarton Castle,
a remarkable discovery has recently
been made, that, namely, of an ancient
crannog, or house supported on piles.
Some of these rude dwellings of early
men are very ancient, but this one In
Scotland, there is some reason for
thinking, may be the most ancient of
all, because it contains only bone and
flint implements, while all other
known crannegs have yielded Imple
ments belonging to the Age of Bronze.
It is remarkable also for having been
built In water that rises and falls with
tie tide.
