We ain't kickin’of course but we do feel that we were born too soon. When we think of the advantages the young men have who do their courting in an automobile no lines to bother and nothing to do but just keep the dear, sweet creature nt their si le from falling out. Backward, turn backward, on, Time in your Hight, and give us a chance again just for one night, make us to realize, oh Time, if you can, that we are a boy again, and not a man.

Perrison says that he anticipated trouble from the fly and in September last in a thirty acre field of wheat he sowed a barrel of air-slacked lime on the wheat as soon as it waft up, using a hand sower or fiddle. This he repeated in a few days and later went over it the third time. The result showed there was not a fly in the whole field, nor the eggs of one, while the fields adjoining his were full of them. No right to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, ‘bright eves, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion. It will make a good-lookin", charming woman of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at Page Blackburn’s drug store.

FROM THE PHILIPPNES. An Interesting Account of the Battle in which Walter Hoskinson was Killed. Roy Wolford Writes of the Country in which the Boys in Blue are Struggling, Calamfa, P. I. Jan. 16, 1900. Dear Father and Mother: As I have a few spare moments I will drop you a few lines. We are having pretty serious times; as I told you in my last letter we were expecting our hardest fight at Santa 1 homas, and it surely was. \\ e started out at 2:30 in the morning and marched about five miles when we stopped to rest in a terrible thick place. We sat down and were smoking a cigarette and W alter Hoskinson and I were talking together when all at once they opened up on us and the bullets come so uncomfortably close that we lost our cigarettes; ■ getting down on the ground. We lay there but a few minutes, then we went right out into the field in a skirmish i line, the grass and weeds were about knee high and it was awful hard to walk, but we went right along, bullets , coming all around us and we were sending the lead into them pretty strong too. Well, we got the command to change direction to the right double time, so we ran as hard as we could and got around into line and started up the firing again; we had not gone far when poor M alter Hoskinson met his doom. They were firing on us from the left (lank and in front, and he got it from the left. The bullet hit him right under the left arm and went right to his heart. He never knew anything after he was hit; they carried him off from the field and took him back to the hospital and he was buried that evening, and we did not even get to go to his funeral, but they say he had a nice burying. I suppose he will be sent home latter. He was a friend to everybody in the company and everybody liked him. I suppose” his folks are taking it pretty hard. Our captain was wounded in the head and another one of our boys got his little finger nearly shot off. I tell you I never want the bullets to fly around me any thicker than they did while we were”laying down firing and the bullets would knock dirt in our faces. The artillery were firing over our heads and actually I think one of them did not miss my head three feet and it nearly scared me to death. I never heard such a noise in my life. The rest of the boys from home,are all well. I was sick when we started on that battle, but I went and when we got to Santa Thomas, I was nearly dead, and came back and went into hospital with the fever, I have been so sick that I did not care whether I lived or died, but I am feeling better and I think I will get along all right now. It is so hot here that it is just killing the boys. Are you getting that paper I had sent you? You must not forget to save them for me. This paper I am writing on I got off from a negro killed in the last fight, so you see it is a kind of a relic. I am going to send you an account of the battle in the paper. I tore a peice of it in two but I guess you can make it out. It don’t give it thoroughly but it gives a good part of it. It was on the 9th of January that Walter Hoskinson was killed. It seems like a hundred years since I got any mail. Do you think it would be safe to send any money home in a letter? I am most afraid to chance it. If I could get a letter registered it would be all right, but where we are we can’t even register a letter. We got paid yesterday but I have not got all of my money from the boys yet. How is Charles getting along, is he still as bad as he was? Do you hear anything there of us getting out in June? There is some talk that we will be out in June, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. I’m afraid not. We had lotspf fruit on our trip and cocoanuts we had so many of them, we would just crack them and drink the milk and throw them away. I expect you would like ito have some of the fruit we wasted. Mike is standing it first-rate, he has not been sick to amount to anything, and he is right on hand for all the fights. Will Bushnell has been terrible sick with the fever but is well ! again. We have been fighting nearly every day since the first of January, i and it is getting rather tiresome, and ' I tell you it is telling on the boys, but | our regiment is getting a name. Every j paper that comes out has something to say about the 39th regiment. We I Lave done more work since we have | been here than any other regiment on the island. How is Lizzie and Frank j getting along? I haven’t heard from them for a long time. Well, I sup--1 pose I must close for this time as it is getting late; so hoping to hear from . you soon, I remain as ever your son Roy. Give my regards to all. Goodbve. Corp. Roy Wolford, | Co.

We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in our home. We have a bottle open all the time and whenever any of the family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the cough remedy, and as a result we never have to send for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth. D. S. Mearkle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa.
