Is the love of freedom dead and
patriotism extinguished? Not by q long
shot, as was evinced in the response to
the sheriff's call for troops last week TO
guard the reservation. Indeed the quota
could have been filled halt dozen times
without recourse to the draft, and the
sheriff had the flower ahd chivalry of the
city to pick from. It was pretty sight
indeed, yesterday, to see the boys on
their restive brolchos, arrayed IN all the
panoply Of war, and burning with high
hopes and patriotic ardor, ready to hurl
themselves upon-the reservation, where
the fierce boomer ranges unmolested,
and the crafty red man, untutored sqnaW
and copper .colored papoose were lying
10 wait to devour them. There are
many weeping sweethearts in Milbank
today who are praying while their soldier
lovers are fighting or flying. but # the
boys return in time to secure their ra-
ton Of easter eggs on Sunday morning,
we have no doubt that all will be for
given.
