During the thickest of the
f>e,ht at Santiago Gen. Joe
Wheeler, leading a gallant
charge, forgot himself tempor
arily, and shouted to his soldiers
as the Spaniards fell back, “The
Yanks are running; give it to
cm, boys.” The old hero’s mem*

It is said of Gen. Weyler that
he keeps scraps books of all the
i newspaper comments and marks
those which are unfavorable in
red ink. This is another proof of
the general’s great wealth, for if
he wanted to save tim and red
ink he would mark the favorable
comments.

“Gen. Merritt,’’ says one of

his ship, the Newport, the other
day, he did noteven take a car
riage from his hotel te the dock,
but climbed on a street car and
paid a nickel for the ride. After
he got on board he waved off all
those who were trying to make
a great ceremony out of his de
parture, and said to the steamer
captain : “Come on ; let's get
out of this.’’ Then he waved his
handkerchief to some good look

The very air of Kansas seems
to be conducive to the growth of
unique lawsuits, and another
peculiar legal contest has just
come to notice. On July 4 a
young man of Stockton took his
best girl to a picnic, but she ac
cepted so many attentions from
another suitor during the jollifi
cation that No. 1 became sulky
and went home, leaving her to
follow as’ best she could. The
girl hired a conveyance in which
to return, for which her father
paid 75 cents. The angry parent
presented a bill to the sulky
suitor, and, upon the refusal of
the latter, to pay, entered suit
before a justice of the peace.
Both parties h ive retained law
yers, and say that they will fight
the case to the bitter end.
