I haven't seen BertU since Inst Sunday, and he used to drop in nearly every afternoon for tea!" "Oh, girls! Do look at that stunning house over there on that hill. I think it must be the Morgan's!" "Can those people be going to play at tennis and our army in the field? How indiscriminate!" All this and much more of the same kind was to be overheard In a Rock Island railroad train that started last week for the camp of mobilization, in struction, starvation, admiration, flir tation, any old kind of "tlon" that ex ists In the dictionary! The party was made up of a group of pretty girls going to make a visit to the tempest tossed tents of company A, formerly of the N. &. G., now serving the government of the United States. It was a visit of inspection, condo lence and continuance of those friendly relations which had existed In times of peace between young ladles and gentle men of nearly the same age and of about the same social proclivities. These young people may or may not have cared greatly for each other daw dling about drawing and ball rooms, but when suddenly separated wrench ed apart by the exigencies of war "It got different," as one poor girl said. "Those poor fellows may have no cream In 'hlr tea and no creamery hut. ter on their bread." It was under such circumstances of doubt and pity thnt my party of young ladles decided to visit Camp Saundern as aforesaid. "Camp Saunders," yells the brakemnn In his good old country voice, and at Camp Saunders wns this little party of ladles put off, amid thousands of tents, and pretty little field violets growing up under their feet. "Can you direct us to the qunrters of company L?" was the first Question asked. "Why. certainly, marm," wan the re ply of the first sentinel met, who might have been a comfortnble South Omaha butcher. "Go up this avenue a (mud path between rows of tents), turn to the right, mind the kicking horses, and there you are." There was a general dash by the trooperB to get Into something like state uniforms, while there seemed it desire on the part of the ladles to catch their soldiers off guard. However, ns the poet has It, soon "all went merry as the marrlnge bell." Em barrassment was over nnd the gallant troopers came pouring from their tents to meet their friends "Won't you sit down'" said one, pro. duclng nn empty provision box. "You will find this softer." suggested another, offering n saddle: and so It went on till the entire senting capacity of the camp had been produced. Even under such circumstances matters were progressing very comfortably. There was an awful lot to talk over and discuss. The summons to arms had been so sudden at the last minute that there was a deal of past social history to go over. Then the first few days in camp had been so wet and horrible that there was a great amount of sympathy and encouragement to be received. So, while the troopers were talking and generally looking after their girls. Messrs. B. and P. were directing the cooks In preparing the evening meal Tou say the pretty camp followers would have none of It? My dear boy, you have never seen a girl In camp. The way that gang of girls crowded round that table boards stretched be tween two uprights with no chairs and Insisted upon being served with pigeons am' camp toast, would have made Philippe Jean at Delmonlco's or Oscar at the Astoria open his eyes In wonder. Tea wac served at six as the sun began to look big and red on the westward border of Hempstead Plains. Was tho whole outfit of girls to. re. main there? Impossible! The matron betran to collect their peaceful forces for a return to town, only u little way off, but oh, how different In comfort and luxury! After a row with his wife, who vlo lently expressed a wish that he wai dead, an Irishman said: "Oh, it's a wld. ow you're wnntin' to be, Is It?

Incidents That Came Under the Obsorvn tlon of War Heroes. For years past, writes G. W. Christ ine In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, ever since the close of our late civil war, In fact I have asked every great general of both the Northern and Southern armlea with whom I have come Into contact to Jot down for me, In his own words and over his own per sonal signature, what he considered the funniest and also the saddest Incident that had come under his observation during our great civil conflict, or In immediate connection therewith. This request was kindly complied with In nearly every Instance, and It was thus that the appended symposium was ob tained. General Lee's Btory. "Many of the most beautiful and pa thetic Incidents of the war occurred after it was all over. At a hotel In Washington in 18C8 a gentleman whose face I could not remember exactly, though It seemed strang:y familiar, In troduced himself and askud permission to present me to his mother, a singu larly beautiful old lady of queenly and dignified bearing, to whom he said. 'Mother, let me present to you Gen. It. E. Lee, of the late Confederate army, whose saber thrust gave me this scar on my right cheek, and who bears the mark of a wound I gave him.' The beautiful old lady threw her arms around my neck and wept on my shoul der, and In that tender embrace and fervent clasp of the federal officer's hand and mine we burled the animosi ties of the war forever." From Admiral Porter. "At the deathbed of my friend, Col. H., I witnessed what I think was at once the most touching and dramatic Incident of the war. It was some years after the great conflict, and the Colonel had long employed as his children's governess a young Southern girl of great beauty and refinement. As I stood with his wife by his dying bed, he called this girl to him, told her how he had killed her father a Confederate Captain in a hand-to-hand fight, hav ing recognized her by her resemblance to her parent, and by his miniature, which she wore around her neck, and asked her forgiveness. 'I have nothing to forgive,' she answered. 'You only did your duty, and If you deprived me of my father, you have filled his place With one supreme effort the Colonel placed her hand In that of his wife, whispered 'our daughter,' and was dead. Good Ones from Sheridan, "Once, In camp, myself and some of my brother officers fell desperately In love with a female voice we used to hear singing at night. It was simply angelic, and, resolved to see the singer, we followed Its sound through the thickets and ravines till we came to a lonely cabin, whence the singing pro ceeded. Creeping up to the window, I peered in, and beheld a fat, greasy, middle-aged negress, barefooted and clad In a single garment of dirty calico, browning coffee with a long Iron spoon, while she gave vent to the sweetest notes I have ever heard. In my sur prise I staggered forward with a noise that attracted her attention. Grasp ing her coffee skillet and waving It around her head, she bawled out: 'G'way from deah, white man! Ef yo don't I'll frow dls year fryln' pan right at yo' head.' " .... SONG SWEO HIS LIF-, A KriiiKrViiM Vnlro Wlilcli wai Itecofct uliril Afler Mini) Yvmih. Tvfo Americana who were crossing the Atlantic met In the enuln on Sun ilay night to sing hymns. As they sans tho last hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My t Foul," one of them heard nn exceeding ly rich and beautiful voice behind htm. ' He looked nruund, nml although he did not know the fnce, he thought he knew the voice. So, when the music censeJ he turned and risked the man If he had been In the civil war. The man replied that he had been a Confederate sol dler. "Were you at suclr a place ax uch a night?" asked the llrst. "Yes," he replied, "and a curious thing happened that night Which t'hls hymn has recalled to my mind, I was posted on sentry duty i.ear the edge of a wood. It wns n dark night and very cold, and I was a little frightened, bo enuse the enemy were supposed to bo very near. About midnight, when ev erything was very still, and I was feel ing homesick and mlsetable nnd weary, 1 thought that I would comfort myself by praying and singing a .hymn. 1 re member singing this hymn: " 'All my trust on Thee Is stayed. All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. "After singing that h strange peace came down upon me, and through tho long night 1 felt no more fear." "Now," said the other, "listen to my story. I was a Union soldier nnd was In the wood that night with a party of scouts. I saw you Btandlng, although ' I T illil rint enn vnitt far Mi mnn tind I m. uiu aaj. sii j j u a auLLi a t iiii:ii nuu their rllles focused upon you, waiting the word to fire, but when you sang out: " 'Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing,' I snld: 'Boys, lower your rifles; we will fgo home.' " Tablet commemorating tho victory of the Monitor. Tli at Monument was Spared. Judge Thomas J. Mackey, formerly of South Carolina, gives an Incident of Sherman's march to the sea which Is not recorded In the war histories. "South Carolina was the first state In the Union to send a regiment to the front to participate in Dhe war with Mexico," said the Judge. "The people of a grateful state caused to be erected In front of the Capitol In Columbia a monument to tho memory of the brave boys of the First South Carolina regi ment who lost their lives in that con flict. This monument Is made of pounded brass, and represents a palmetto tree. When Sherman's army entered Colum bia and his soldiers were destroying everything that came In their way, sev eral companies made a dash for the shaft. With the buts of their musketB they began the work of demolition. They had not proceeded far when a man on horseback rushed up to them and commanded them to desist. " 'Not another stroke!' he cried. Several of 'the soldiers paid no atten- . tlon. I " 'The next man who dares assault that shaft I will kill!' he thundered. "The men paw tears In the eves of the one who thus addressed them; they also saw that he had weighed his words carefully and meant every one of them. " 'Soldiers,' said he, 'the boys who sleep benenth that palmetto loved their country as much as you or I. They fought as valiantly.' "And the palmetto still stands In the old town of Columbia. The man who caused It to be preserved was Colonel Paine of the 124th Ohio regiment, and the people of South Carolina owe him a debt of gratitude they never can re pay." Reported Forty-Six Year After the Order "I heard an old ex-Confederate down In Green county tell a good story not long since," said Hiram Paige, who stopped over In Louisville en route to Frankfort. "The old Johnny Iteb said the ofllcer commanding tine regiment in which he was battling for the South'a rights sent an aid out before the battle of Murfreesboro to ascertain the force of the enemy and to pick up any Infor mation of value. The colonel never saw the cnptnln before or after the tight, and wondered what had become of him. The officer, of course, thought that the brave young southerner had met his j death while on duty. While the colo ' nel was presiding as mayor of a town In Tennessee three years ago a one-legged man walked Into the office one day and said; 'Colonel. I have to report. sir, that I found the enemy in force.' The stranger was the captain who had been sent out to reconnoitre twenty-six years before. He had been wounded, captured by the Yanks and had his left leg amputated. He was sent to his home In South Carolina when exchang ed and had never had an opportunity to see the colonel before. Having heard I that his superior officer was in the Tennessee city, the loyal young 'Con fed' decided -to report. Louisville Post. "Is your new traveling man enter prising?" "Enterprising?

Draw a lino from Western Australia northward up through Borneo to Japan and you strike the Philippine Islands, five degrees north of the equator, a little south of Formosa, and off the southern coast of China. Containing about 150,000 square miles of territory, the group forms an empire In the Pa cific ocean of which America mny well be proud. The islands nre said to be the richest Islands fn the world. The early history of the Philippines was written by monks, who gave It a high Spanish coloring. The events of the past arc thus seen through Spanish eypc. Mngellan, the Portuguese explorer, who discovered the Island In 15J0, made his voyage In behalf of the Span ish crown because of a misunderstand ing with his own Portuguese king. The largest of his six vessels was of only t30 tons burden. The expedition con slsted of 234 members, Including sailors and all hands. Grent was their sur pvisn o find, the nnfJlves wear In p. sJIUs from the silk worms of the native for ests. It was In startling contrast to the costumes of the naked, painted sov. nges of the Spanish possessions on the other side of the globe. The Philippine archipelago Is nbout 900 miles In extent from north to south and 530 miles from east to west. A range of irregular mountains runs thro' the centre of the whole. Those known by the name of Carnballos. In Luzon, are occupied by unsubdued races of Idolatrous Indians and extend for near ly ISO miles. PRETTY POOR WEATHER. Several large rivers have their source In the CarnbulIoH. At the top of Mount Cobunlan, whose ascent Is dlflicult, there Is a tomb worshipped by pagan Jgorrotes. There nre large lakes In several of thr Islands, nnd during the jnlny season some of them become enormously extended. These Inundn tlons are naturally favorable to luxuri ant vegetable growth by fertilizing vnst tracts of land. The cllmnte of the Philippines, now as In the days of Mngellan, Is described In a Spanish proverb thus: "Sels meses de polvo, eels meses de lodo. sels mffces de todo." "Six months of dust, six months of mud, six months of everything," though It may generally be stated that the rnlny aeason lasts one-half of the year and the dry season the other half, Magellan converted the natives nnd Induced them to recognize the sover. elgnty of Srnln. In return he aided a ruler In fighting his unconverted ene mies in a neighboring province. The illustrious navigator wns seriously wounded and died within a year. Then the leading men of his expedition were Invited to a feast and assassinated. The expedition had experienced dlsas ter from the time It left Europe. Three vessels were lest In the China sea. The next Spanish fleet of six vessels, with a trading ship, was lost. Still another fleet, commanded by Hernnn Cortez, was destroyed In 1528. It was followed by a fourth fleet of three ships and two trading vessels, commandjd by Vlllalobos. This time the Islands were reached and named the Philippines In honor of Prince Astunns, after Philip II. Terrible fevers, togeth er with the hardships of a wild, tropical life, proved disastrous, and it was nec essary to sind out a new expedition, this time, to quote exactly from Span Ish rhronlcles. to "conquer and pacify" the people. It was the same kind of pacification that was employed In Cuba centuries later. MANILA AND CAVITE. Five ships, carrying four hundred seamen nnd "clvlllzers," sailed from Mexiro for the Western Isles In 1564. Commander Miguel Lopez de Legaspl had ample powers for the office of gov. ernor, and or. arriving at the Philip pines he was "nominated" and placed in office on the island of Zebu. He took possession of Manila, which was then but a fort and trading post. In 1571. He too could not endure the malarial rigors THE PHILIPPINES.

From a mllltnry post Manila soon bc rnme the capital, nnd In due time wns renowned for the splendor of Its re ligious processions nnd tho excellence of Its long clpnrs, called cheroots. Pres ently swarms of Chlnuse appenred on the scene. They took possession of dlf. ferent parts of the Islands, ns did the Jnponese, retting the Spanish govern ment millions for wnrfare and defense. At one time It was reported thnt u Chinese army of a hundred thousand was nbout to Invade the Islands. The windows of the houses of tho better class, the villus in the suburbs nnd the country mansions nre made of oyster snells "those wonderful trans parent pearl-like shi-lls of the oriental seas which admit light, hut not the glare of the sun, Illuminating the In teriors with the soft rndlnnce of a ca thedral. A great window filled with these sprays of pearl shows the colors of ten thousand rainbows. Until a few years ngo, it was a singu lar fact that, while so many plensurc resorts abounded, among the wealthy Europeans there were no yachts or Bull ing boats even In the magnificent, dreamlike harbor of Manila. And how do they live In that tropical city In the sea? M. Mnllnt, the author, exclaims: "Enchanting city, In thee are goodness, cordiality, n sweet, open, no bie hospitality the generosity which makes our neighbor's house our own! In thee the difference of fortune nnd hierarchy disappear. Unknown to thee Is etiquette. Oh, Mnnlln! a warm heart can never forget thy Inhabitants, whose memory will be eternal for those who have known them," A DP.EAMY LIFE. Another writer, De Mas, thus de scribes life In Manila: "They rise early und take chocolate and tea (which Is here called elm); breakfast composed of two or three dishes and a dessert nt ten; dinner nt from 2 to 3; siesta (sleep) till 5 to 6; horses harnessed and an hour's ride to the pnsco, returning from which tea, with bread and biscuits nnd sweets, sometimes homeward, sometimes In visit to neighbor: the evening passes as It may (cards frequently); homeward for bed at II p. m.; the bed a fine mat, with mosquito curtains drawn around; one narrow nnd one long pillow, called nn nbrazador (embracer), which serves ns n resting place for the arms or legs. It is a Chinese nnd a convenient ap pliance. No sheets men sleep In their stockings, shirts and loose trousers (pa Jamas); the ladles In garments some thing similar. They say people must always be ready to escape Into the street In case of an earthquake. They have queer customs In those distant sunny Isles which now, for the first time, truly belong to civilization. The Filipinos nr very careful of their ponies and horses. They never allow them to drink pure water If they can help It, and Invariably mix It with hon ey. The result Is thnt no European can go on n horseback Jaunt without a bag of sugar or honey. The native horses will not drink from the purest moun tain brook unless It Is sweetened. This shows the power of horse educntlon, even on the other side of the world. "Shiftless as ever, Thomas?" said the wealthy uncle. "Still making a failure of life, as you alwayB have done?" "I don't know that I'm such a terrible failure," sulkily replied the poor rela tion.
