has had a great deal of work in
his position as field executive.
The letter of Mrs. Wiltse is most
interesting as to her trip across the
shoes by the mjority, the interesting
shops with their silks, amber, crys
tals, satsuma dishes and vases ana
all. Take my advise if you come to
the Orient and have tucked away a
few tens of dollars for buying the
wide reaches of the ocean to her new beautiful things so reasonably. I did
not get anything compared to what

AUTO BUNS FE0M "AIR"
Kansas City, Aug. 8. Stripped of
its motor, an automobile equipped
with a simple device which its in
ventor said "captured electricity from
the air," did forty miles an hour on
Kansas City streets Saturday. H. E.
Perrlgo, who produced it, claimed it
was the reward of fifteen years of
labor an invention to revolutionize
industry.
An inquisitive newspaper reporter
today found, he said, that batteries
were hidden in the upholstery, con
nected with the Invention." Perrlgo..

Business itattonery, programs and

nal office.
exploring the Japanese Consul for a
visa on my passport, and purchasing
a sport hat and an afternoon dress
completed San Francisco.
The next thrills came when I saw
and boarded "President Cleveland,"
my first experience on an ocean liner.
When the last ropes were up and we
slowly started out of port I had no
one to hold my serpentine line, no
one to wave goodbye to except U. S.
A. herself. I stood on deck thinking
and wondering and in but a slight de
gree enjoying the throwing of ser
pentine, the blowing of balloons and
the farewell bouquets.
Life on a steamship is different
than I ever expected rather the
people were. I made friends with
many who were nice and others who
seemed nice but who indulged in
breakine various laws of U. S. and
various laws of health that I hold to
eeverly. Characteristic 'of boat life
I found first to be the scads of Chi
ness boys in native costumes who
tend to every detail of work in one's
cabin, who 6erved the meals in the
dining salon, who served morning
boullion, afternoon tea, and after
dinner coffee on deck or in the tea
room and who prepared all equipment
for decksports. In fact they did all
at a passenger's bidding; secondly,
the way the day is spent just being
lazy. We indulged in a morning deck
walk, soma deck tennis, table golf,
quoits or shuffle board, then a book
and one's deck chair, perhaps a nap,
then lunch, more sports, visiting or
reading or music in the social room.
I enjoyed the grand piano; thirdly,
the way the evening is spent dress
ing for dinner, many times special
dinners for entertainment, after din
ner one's leisure may be spent as he
desires but there was usually deck
dancing, or card tournaments, occa
sionally a special party as an Italian
costume party,' a masquerade ball, a
concert by talent on shipboard, etc.;
fourthly I was impressed with the
cosmopolitan group. I made ac
quaintance with a French Countess, a
Syrian importer, an English business
man, a Filipino attorney, etc. I do
love to meet'other nationalities. I
was Nebraska's representative and
the only middle westerner on board;
fifthly, I was impressed with the vast
stores of fresh water and of foods
kept on the ship and the service that
is given for those days and days at
sea.
Our voyage, being in February and
March, was especially rough, and we
rolled and tossed more than usual,
experienced travellers said. - A ty
phoon, when waves dashed over the
upper deck and one could not stand
on deck was a bit of excitement. I
was unafraid however in fact I felt
safe the whole trip, being conscious
of the Guiding Hand of our Common
friend and Master."
After six days out at sea we saw
land! Paradise Isles to be jure. I
left Nebraska white frc x itavy
Special
friends were present. Irving wore
all white and I wore white satin, a
veil and an orange blossom wreath.
We were unattended. After the cere
mony a troop of Scouts marched in,
presented Mr. and and Mrs. I. F.
W. with a huge bouquet of roses,
then made an aisle and gave salutes
and cheers as we walked out. The
big reception at Hugh Wilson Hall
came immediately and we had to look
nice, be sociable and it seemed that
I met a thousand faces and remem
berer about two! "At Dawning" and
"I Love you Truly" made the affair
complete.
The first six weeks of our honey
moon we spent In Baguio, the moun
tain city, about eight hours drive
north of Manila, that is called the
summer capital. It is beautiful and
cool there. There we took some in
teresting hikes and I got to see a bit
of the mountain peoples and the way
they live in isolated grass huts, eat
rice and dogs, the women smoke fat
cigars and the men wear only G
strings. These people are the Igorot
tribes. For their meager livelihood
they sell vegetables or wood carv
ings or hand woven cloths. It would

we had taken along and soon there
fifteen natives gathered around.
That is characteristic whereever one
goes in the provinces.
Manila is a modern city of some
300,000 people and is greatly affect
ed by the presence of Americans and
Europeans. We can get almost any
thing here that we could in the
states except food Is higher. It is al
most impossible to get fresh milk but
I am getting used to condensed milk
and Klim. Bananas average about one
cent apiece. Manila is very warm
now but the rainy season will start
soon then we will cool off, so they
say.
We are getting nicely located in
our new home. My, but it's fun to
pick out a house and fix up a home.
We are in a good section of Manila
about four blocks from the bay and
have 6 small rooms, furnished, in a
large Spanish type house. Another
family lives upstairs. The Spanish
house, so common here is made of
wood, large and square, right on
the street with the walls almost all
big windows, barred for protection ;
against theft. You see they are left j
open almost the year around. We,
bought dishes, green dragon design
Japanese, and also utensils for cook-j
ing. Our furniture belongs to our
Spanish landlord. We have a good
combination houseboy and cook. Pab
lo Paliganawan, 21. years old. I only
plan the menues and the market or-;
ders, he does the rest. Yes, it Is so
different to have a servant but It
takes too much energy for white
women to do their own work hepe.
We are very happy aad trying to

often and talk over friends and hap
penings back "home."

dressed and grabbing his shot gun
started for the scene of the commo

and when he hollered to find out
what was going on the man made a
hasty departure and was soon out of

taken and Mr. Wessel can not ac
