NING.
Tast Thursday evening, at the
of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Plun
wo of
W;1S the sc no a rare arc
delightful social event of tin
a
a, occasion" was tendered by
Xhe Plunket, in honor of the
jj r F.
®any pretty visitors which are
now a riding much life and enjoy
meat to the many homes of our
litt] 0 city and tne celebration of
bis twenty-fifth birthday.
Upon our arrival at this hospi¬
table home, we found many of the
guests had arrived and the parlors,
cool verandahs and yard was the
scene of much gayety and myrth.
Under the large, densely clothed
trees were long tables, covered
with spotless linen and upon which
we reladened all kinds of available
refreshments adapted for such an
occasion.
y[r. Plunket was the director-in
c jjiaf of the evening pleasures,
whilehis thoughtful mother and his
charming sisters, Misses Nora and
Yannie Lou, greatly concerned
themselves about the intertaiu
I meat of every one present.
A notable feature of the occa
I sion was the great number of bright
I and pleasant visiting young ladies.
I They were all young and exceed¬
ingly pretty. (Pardon us for in¬
sinuating that any ever became
old and homely).
As the clock began tolling the
hour of twelve the guests began to
fa Ire their leave, each one, how¬
ever, pronouncing the occasion a
success, congratulating Mr. Plun¬
ket on being at a marriageable age
and hoping that he will continue
to celebrate each of his birth-days
and that they will arrive early
and often.
Floyd is one of the most popu¬
lar and whole-souled fellows to be
found anywhere. He likes his
friends, and has many of them,
and his friends are equally fond of
him. May be live to be 100 years
old.

Man that is born of woman is of
few days and full of trouble. He
goeth out in the morning in all his
glory and strength, thinking that
he is the only pebble on the beach.
Straight way he falieth into pol¬

he wasn’t any pebble on the beach
at all.

scibeing briefly the PiiL
ippine Islands.
There is [no use of my saying
anything o bout the war, for vow
see everything I could tell you i»
the paper. Besides it is possible
to get more information at home
than here. Nothing is allowed to
be printed here until it has been
censored, and the consor only lets
such things go in as will not
amount to much. One thing, fight*
ing in not over, and will not be in i
a long while yet. Some parts ar#
pacified, where we are, such is tht
condition, the ‘Mnsurrect toners 1 ’
surrendered all their arms. But
just across on Luzon about forty
miles to the east of us, there is
fighting nearly every day.
The customs here are practical¬
ly the same as in Mexico and Cn’"a s
only there are no slaves except In
the ‘Moro’ country, nor any peons.
However all natives are lazy and
only work when necessary to get
food. The climate is quite projie
tious, and they do not need much
to work as a little work bring
much “Palay” (rice), this is bread
and meat. And then there is plen¬
ty of hogs, cattle and chicken,
these you know don’t need either
to be plowed or hoed, grass being
free for them to feed upon.
I had a nice trip across accom¬
panied at first by the usual ‘’Mae
de mer”. Had a nice stay at Hon¬
olulu. But it was in the rain that
we landed at Manilla, and the first
month I hardly knew what it Was
to be dry. I have had many strik¬
ing experiences since here, which
can be better told than written.
T guess wo are hero to stay now
until ordered home. We have been
on ' hoinove over since our arrival,
have done some splendid service
and our outfit is in magnificent
fighting shape. I am on the island
of Masbate at port Palanay. on
the east coast opposite Ticao, we
are in about the same latitude as
the extreme north coast of South
America.
The boys still hang out at Bud
Gniley’s, of course you would ex¬
pect that ; you know what his skin
is, ********** k *
* * *. Bee McDonald, Arthur
Langford, and Foyd Plunket are
hard stock—They may be taken at
some “old horse’’ sale but hardly
beforo.
I see that the 0. V’s. have at
last took into consideration the
valuable services of “Emin Posha”
and rewarded him accordingly.
The country is now perfectly
safe.
The opportunities for trade here
are numerous. But nearly all
trade is monopolized by Jews and
Chinese—the latter predominate.
Conyers now talks to herself—so
much noise is made I fail to hear
the whirr of the cotton looms.
There will have to be a moving
away or other change before much
enterprise will come to stay. Why
don’t you marry some nice widow,
and build up the town?
We get our mail once a month
only and you can imagine how
gladly it is received. Reading mat¬
ter is very scarce.
I have been in command of my
company since March Brd, 1900.
and it keeps me pretty close.
There is enough paper work to keep
two men busy all the time. My
men are from nearly all over the
states : Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina, Geor¬
gia, Alabama, both Virginias, New
York, Rhode Island, Massachu¬
setts, Connecticut, Tex. and Ken¬
tucky. Nearly all nationalities
are represented; French, German,
Dutch, Irish, English, Cuban and
Jew. The health of my command
has been splended, not a single
man of them has died.
Give Ed Guinn my regards, and
compliment him for me on hi§
paper and teil him he has and ap¬
preciative reader at the antipodes.
Give my regards to Mr. .Jim and
the family.
With best wishes I am,
Yours fraternally,
E. H. Almand
