He is the sort of friend who would dfe if he should get it bHcause he is so much afraid of it Borne half duzen Pbilippluo soldiers just went past, they salute our flag and our officers.

We don't have a veryi good time nor a very bad time.

We can't talk to any one much but-soldiers and we get tired of them'. Oh we can jabber a little Spanish with the natives and Chinese, but they, the most of them, don't understand much more Spanish than we do, and there are not so very many real Spanish here except Spanish soldiera. There are about 14000 of them 2 guess. They like the Americans and are very friendly. I don't have to really work hard but there has beea good deal to do, trying to find and get possession, and get all the stuff straightened around since we arrived.

And then we hfive had to isBuei clothes since we arrived to about half the regiment, who had lost leggine and clothing on the boat. Some of them had thrown their clothes away because they got bugs. I have never been trontileit but the once when I was down in theoempany. I have taboea the fatigue gang in carrying and moving stuff some of (he time, and work on reports. A complete report and balance of all stuff drawn, issued and on hand has to be made svery quarter.

The last quarter of 'S8 is up to-day and our report la aii right, bat not quite finished. It is a big Job we are glad I to see the end of It. It came at a Iiitdtlme this time as we were buay it other things-fretting cots, lights, ovens, horses, horse feed mosquito sets, new clothes, fixing op the and ftota room and distributing Christmas presents which fell to the Q. M's lot. One thing that they generally send me to do is to get oz carts and: boss them bring them over.

I have to get them at the depot Q. and how to make, the drivers underataad. JEt is io my soiriov that I leaned. of them seemed to have done thing jto-day, for they jill wanted to come and all Jumped on' their carts and started to come. I at last got eleven ot them out and started for the Srd battalion, bht when I got there I counted over and found I had seven too many.

They had come around the back way aod crowded in and of course I didn't know which ones I started with. Tbjey all wanted to haul the b. IX I got therefor they knew they would be of their ticket if they got that box. One Chinaman and Native nearly had a Hght and natives all swore the Chinese were "very bad" and the Ctiluese all swore the natives very bad. Well I "sorted" again and sent the extras back and started on.

A funny thuii: you have to learn about managing these people is that you have to motion in the opposite direction to which want them to go. When we got a couple of blocks I Slopped and lei ihejm paHS me lu review aiidioiiid thfit I hud three too many.

We had a hot Christmas here in Manila, that is literally speaking Oli yen, wo had a good time. A ship load of Christmas packaires for the soldiers came two days before Chrietnias.

We get plenty to eat. Don't have the least idea when we will come home, but have resolved not to enter any'protest when we are told to go. Some of the boys had a touch oi malaria at first but most of them are all right now. Doc. C.

John Lasater was born in McCoupin county. April 6, 1862, and lived there with his parents until 1879 when the family came to Kansas, locating on a farm near lola. He remained with his father until his marriage to Miss AiMie Mct'loud when he engaged in farming on bis own account. Two years airo on ae- count of 111 health he cameto lola and enjrajred in the restaurant business, but he was obliged to give that up several months aifo on account of failing health. Since that he has known, and it has been all too plain to family and friends, that death, trotn coiisumptloii, was only a que8ti()Uol time.

If some pointers on the latest Philippino care is used, however, and For the top part ot the person, I mean from the waist up, the ladies wear like a flour sack with the bottom cut out and holes cut in the sides for arm holes. Some of the upper-tens have sort of sleeves about as as flour sacks which are starched so they stand out away from the arms.

They don 't have any buttons on these garments but put them over their heads like a person does a sweater. I know because they aren't partisular about where they make their toilet. Well this "what-you-may-call-it" doesn't come down far enough and they wear a belt of nothing around their waist. Then they have a eklrt made by liap- ping a piece of cloth about tbe size of a ehawl around them a couple of times. Then the Philippine's hose and aome times slippers.

The slippers have no heels and they are sometimes Chiaese shoes with wooden blocks about two inches high on the soles with which they clUmp along like a horse with loose shoes. There don't many of them wear hats and if they do it is any old thing from astrawhatto a basket. Sometimes the "UDpers" wear asort of a scarf over their ahoulders. Oh yes, I almost forgot, a cigar or cigarette in their mug. But most of them wear a cigar about the length Smithy's stogies only as large around as a white man's cigar.

Some of the hoys ''Smithy's stoglee" if you have forgotten abotit them. There are tens of thonsands of men here and a few Spaniards, and some Hindoos and a few from every other place on earth. But if you try to get a girl, "win a Irame" as the Bbldiers say, yon are "up, againjst the real thing." They alt look like bus- zards.

He has been employed as a brakeman for tlie Illiudis Central Ry, and was with his train last Saturday (a week ago) going south towards Centralia when the accident occurred, it had been raining and freezing and the care were very slippery. The train made a flying switch and the engineer applied his air ko rapidly that George skated off the end of the car to the track below.

It has had 15 years test in thousands of cases and never failed. That remedy is BRAZILIAN BALM. No case of Grip was kno'wn where Brazilian Balm was promptly and faithfully used. It kills the germs, arrests the progress 6f the disease at once, and takes all the evil effects out the system.
