A Privntc's Story of the Fighting.
MARYVILLE, Mo., \iay 16.‘—Thc’ fol-
lowing letter has been received by Mrs.
. T. Linville from her son, Harry N.
Kerr, a member of Battery L. Third
United States artillery, which has been
brigaded with the Twentieth Kansas
regiment:
“Malolos, April 5.—Was tired from
our 21 mile running the negroes, but we
laid many a Filipino boy below the
dirt and lost 22 per cent of our men in
the Third artillery. On Saturday morn—
ing we had 141 men in Battery L. Now
we have ten squads and only 89 men in
the whole battery. The members of my
squad were all wounded excepting one
other fellow and myself. We were on
the firing line every day, waded many
creeks and riyers to our necks and some
of them still deeper, over ricefields knee
deep in mud and besides all this had to
face the steel Mausers which sent the
‘bing’ into our ranks.
“7:20 p. 111.—V7e are camping 011 Agui-
naldo's lawn by the ruins of the burned
palace and church which he took time
to bu1n.l am entitled to my discharge
tomorrow (the 6th), but don’ t expect or

Otis :unl Dewey to Aid Spaniards.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—Major Gen-
eral Otis has been directed by telegraph
to co—operate with Admiral Dewey in
an attempt to relieve the Spanish garri-
son at Zamboanga, island of Mindanao,
which is besieged by an insurgent force.
The military authorities are unusually
reticent about the matter and decline
absolutely to give the text of the in-
structions to General Otis. There is
evidently a foam" in the minds of the au—
thorities that publication of the details
of any arrangement to rescue the Span-
iards would result in' prompt notifica-
tion to the insurgents and cause »thcn1
to take action accordingly.

ing the grievances of the outlanders

iv in an arrangement for a conference,

No Extra Session 0! Congress.
\VASHINGTON, May 16.—A member
of the administration who is in a posi-
tion to know the views of the president
on the subject states that the probabili-
ties are against an extra session of con-
gress being called. He thinks that the
president has given the subject some
thought but is reasonably sure that no
call will be issued, except in some un-
locked for contingency which would
make it necessary.

“ DEAR FRIEND—I feel it my duty to
express my. gratitude and thanks to
you for what your medicine has done
for me. I was very miserable and los-
ing flesh very fast, had bladder trouble,
fluttering pains about the heart and
would get so dizzy and suflered with
painful menstruation. I was reading
in a. paper about Lydia. E. Pinkham’ s
Vegetable Compound, so I wrote to you
and after taking two bottles Ifelt like a
new person. You’r Vegetable Compound
has entirely cured me and I cannot
praise it enough.”—Mns. J. O. BABNABD,

SIAMESE FOOTBALL
The Bull Is Struck Generally with
'5 the Knee and. Kept in
the Air.
The Siamese youth have only one
game worth considering, and that one
is indigenous—or native to Burma—
the question of parentage being a much-
mooted one, says Harper’s Weekly. At
all events, the game requires a. certain
amount of activity, and is very inter-
esting to the onlooker. It is a kind of
football—in fact, I have neaid it called
Burmese footbalé—fiilayed with a ball
about four inche 1n diametei, made of
braided rotan, entirely hollow, very
strong and resilient. The number of
contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but
play' 1s sharpest when there care enough
to form a on do about ten feet 1n dia: 11-
eter. The larger the circle after it has
passed the desk able diameter the slow-
er the play.
The game is to keep the ball tossin'r
into the air without breaking the circle.
As a man fails at his opportunity he
drops out, and when there remain but.
four or six, the work is sharp and verv
pretty. The ball is struck generally
with the knee, but also with the foot,
from in front, behind and at the side.
Some become rema1 kably clever. I have
seen a player permit the ball to drop
directly behind his back, and yet, with-
out turning, return it clear over his
head, and straight into the middle of
the circle, by a well-placed backward
kick of his heel.
Genius .Unc‘ons'éid'us. ‘
It is as difficult to talk entirely un-
grammatically “as to play in discords.
A country lady, standing in front of a
picture in an eastern galler , took the
