The Twentieth was putin Caloocan and ordered to hold it. On the night of the 8th it was learned that the Filipinos had planned a rush. The Twentieth was ordered to repel it. Instead of standing to receive the attact the regiment went out in the night, crawled up on the enemy, alert as it whs, and went through it like the hot winds of their own State. Their battle cry was a foobtall yell. On the 6th, after this night rush, they were sent to turn the left llank of the enemy, in hopes of hemming him, and once more Reuter singled out this remarkable regiment to describe to his Iuiropean readers.—St. Louis Republic. "I will, sir, «s soon as I can get the Kansitis back," was the auswer. When he did get them back they had invaded Caloocan, lost six men and had twenty-two wounded. He never catue back. They buried the brave fellow where they found him. "Hurrah for Kansas !" some other fel low cried, and on the despised Kansas went. Nothing could hold them back. They hud got off the sand pile onto the firing line ; they were there to fu'ht, and Kansas was watchiug her lad 9. So was the world, but Kansas was the world to the Kansans. They almost brought about a check by their ferocity. "Straighten out your line," the division commander commanded. Like devils those despised Kansans fought. They jumped into that jungle rs many a time they had done in their great Kansas rows of 12-foot corn, and they went through it with a mighty shout. It was Kansas I)ty. Some one shouted "Rock Chalk ' Jay Hawk ' K. S. V. !" the football yell of the Kansas University, ami the regiment went mad. It had any number of students iti it, and Lieutenant Alvord, himself a student of the university, jumped further in the jungle than any other man. He took up the cry and 011 he went. "At 4 p. m. the American ships censed firing. Then the army tired three guns, at an interval of ten seconds, signaling the advance of the whole line, the Kansas regiment leading through the jungle. The rebels' left wing was diverted by Major Bell and a hundred men. It was like clockwork. There was no hitch any. where." Reuter, the British Associated Press man, knows a thing when he sees it. He cabled to Loudon as follows. THIS IS ft MAN'S STORE! GOODS DELIVERED PROMPTLY ANYWIIERE. P. P. LONG.

Somebody advocates the adoption of the principle of civil service reform in connection with the institution of marriage. It is contended that this is a matter which demands the most vigorous supervision by the state. Experience has already clearly demonstrated, it is further alleged, that thousands of persons marry every year who should be forbidden entering into this important relation, prevented by force, if need be. They are chronic paupers and their children are almost certain to follow in their footsteps. Or they are habitual criminals, knowing nothing but evil, and every little child that comes under their influence will be taught profanity and falsehood and filthiness of speech and conduct and nothing elevating or There are others who are diseased tu mind or body or both, and who would certainly entail upon their unfortunate offspring a very Illiad of woes. Why should not the state, it is insisted, take some thought for the improvement and perpetuation of the race. Why should not candidates for matrimony be subjected to a rigid mental and physical examination ? continues our questioner. Why not, indeed?—Altoona Tri- bune. IOHNSON BLOCK, Treasurer.

Clothipg, Shoes, flats, Shifts, Updefweaf, The mayor of a provincial town recently gave a fancy dress hall, at which all of the elite of the town were present. One worthy alderman, who was rather stont, wore a pair of tight breeches, and in the course of one of the dances he felt its seams giving way. Hastily seeking out his wife, he told her of his dilemma, ami she, procuring a needle and thread, sought out an ante-room where she thought they would be free from intrusion while the breach was repaired. The worthy alderman had no sooner pulled off his breeches than two ladies came along the corridor with the intention, as she supposed, of visiting the same room. Mrs. Alderman looked around the room for some place in which to hide her breechless spouse, and, opening the first door she came to, she said, "(Juick, John, go in here—there's two ladies coming." At the same time pushing him through, she closed and bolted the door and turned to meet the intruders with a smiling face, when a load knocking occurred on the other side of the door, and her husband frantically yelled: "Open the door !

It seems ridiculous that the nation that is least able to make use of them should possess the fastest torpedo boat and the fastest cruiser In the world. The famous Schichau firm recently built a torpedo boat for China which made 35.2 knots per hour, and now the Armstrongs have completed a 4,400 ton cruiser, the "Hai Tien," which has made a natural draft speed of 22.6 knots and a forced draft speed of 24.1 knots per hour. This is the record for a warship, or, Indeed, for any kind of a ship of that aize. If the "Hai Tien" could maintain that speed across the Atlantic, she would mske the passage in about four days and a half.—Scientific American. WallPapeR Paper. A BIG STOCK est Designs JUSTIN.
