RECONSIDERED. A Topeka man lost a small opal set out of his ring and went to the jeweler to have it replaced. Returning home he found the lost set, and putting it in his mouth for safe keeping, hurried back to the jeweler’s to have that set used instead of the new opal. Rushing into the store he said: “Say, I’ve found the old set, so dont use that new one.” He attempted to remove the stone from Jjis mouth, gave a gulp, looked sheepish, and said: “I gness you’ll have to use the new stone.” That name needed a bottle of Dr. Calwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Sold by A. F. Long.

A Temperance Soldier’s View of the Army "Canteen.”

San Tomas, Luzon 1., Nov. 23, 1900. Editor Republican:- , We are still at the same place and same job, ie; escorting wagon trains. On that army canteen business you had the best authority, that of the army officers. But perhaps my testimony would have some weight as coming from a private soldier and one whom you know to be a temperance man. My experience includes the Post Exchange (canteen) and private dealers like the old post sutlers. The “Exchange” is not a “saloon” as some seem to think bnt a store, which deals in all articles that needs, and in which the soldiers themselves are stockholders, as the profits go to the company funds. The bar if there is one sells only light drinks and promotes temperance by keeping the men from intoxicating drinks of more fiery nature.

Now that is not hearsay for we had a good canteen in Ft. Russell Wyo., and it was only those who frequented the bar rooms of Cheyenne* that got into trouble from drinking. We hope to have an exchange here soon. In the absence of beer some have tried, “vino" with the usual result. On one guard we had 4 “vino fiends" to take care of and we had our bands full. They usully want to fight but sometimes they only try high tragedy like a crazy actor. The sick and afflicted of the volunteers are being sent home. The remaider will be here for the grand round-up which is expected to take place “poco tempo” (pretty soon.) J. H. Marshall. Troop B. Ist U. S. Cav. Manila P. I.

The Juanita Glee Club.

The Juanita Glee Club, of Chicago, willl give another of their delightful concert entertainments at the Methodist church, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 9. The Juanita Glee Club is composed of young ladies who have made a special study of ensemble singing, with Mrs. Estelle Barr as musical director. The discrimination exercised in the selection of trained voices for this organization insures harmony and volume of tone seldom equaled, and the exquisite shading in the rendition of classical, sacred and familiar songs is a delight to the most exacting audience. The repertoir of the club is large, and includes compositions from the masters as well as sacred and humorous selections. All the singing is done without instrumental accompaniment, thus enabling the audience to appreciate its sweetness. The Juanita Club is withoat doubt the finest organization of its kind in America. Tickets on sale at Huffs; adults 25c, childern, (under 12) 15c. No reserved seats. Statement of tickets at 35c on large bills was due to error. Remember the date, Wednesday evening, Jan. 9.
