BULLETS IN BATTLE.


An Old Soldier Tells How 1t Feels to Be
Shot.
The old soldier, with a hot toddy be-
fore him. was communicative.
"How did you feel when you went
into your first fight?'' the reporter in
quired, Us most people do when they be-
gin to ask soldier questions about his
experiences.
81 felt as though there were o mil
lion places in the world I'd rather be
than where then was, :" was the frank
response
'WGe you afraidr
''Of course was knew. those fell
lows shooting at Us weren't doing it for
their health or for ours, either, and I
knew enough about guns to know that
they were dangerous
"But you overcame your fear as the
fight progressed"
anyhow, didn't mind it so much.
After awhile got mad, and then for
got about myself and wanted to lick the
entire army against us -
did you ever get shot?"
"Once only, and it was queer about
that. You read stories in the papers
about how it feels to be shot, and sup
pose they are correct, for every man has
u different way of taking his cold lead.
I've seen men shot square in tho fore
head, stand for an instant rs if turned
into stone and then drop without ever
bending joint Some I've seen run
screaming away and fall dead with the
scream on their lips I've seen some
grab and clutch at themselves and spin
around as If they had been hit with q
club and didn't know what tho matter
was; some drop quietly and say nothing
about it; some jump high in the air
and fall stiff Us pokers and so on
through o list of them, no two alike.
I'm my own case, was fighting in
the woods in skirmish in Virginia on
a terrific hot day. 1t was lively in there,
l can tell you. and wasn't thinking
about myself at all. We had started on
run through an open space after the
Johnnies, and just as we slowed down
when we saw they had got too close to
the main body for us to go after them
began to feel sick and weak and told
the man next to me that l thought
must be sunstruck. He began to say
something, and everything grew dark.
The next knew was in q hospital
with hole through my chest When 1
got it or how, 1 never knew, but it

utes before collapsed, because man
couldn't stand up long with that kind

isfy the needs of an increased population?
(Applause.) When we talk about these
matters our opponents tell us that we
do not understand financiering. Naugh-
ter and applause .iE,s ), I aa4aA,I
1--WE demand of our opponent an an
swer to this question: How are you GO
ing to provide for the money that the
people need? They propose no plan.
Why not? Because the policies of the
Republican party are dominated by Wall
street, where they do not want money
plentiful. Not only are their policies
dominated by Wall street, but, my friends,
they are not willing even to let Wall
street have the final say, because they
make in their platform the declaration
that we must go across the ocean to find
out what other nations will do. The Re
publican platform, written in this city,
and now the creed of that party, express
ly declares that the people of this country
must maintain gold standard-how
long? Until we get tired of it? Oh we
are tired of it now. How long must we
maintain it: We must maintain it UNI
til the leatling nations of the Old World
take pity upon us and let us get rid of
the gold standard. If the gold standard
is wrong, rs believe it is, there will be
agitation until we get rid of it, If BIZ
metallism is right, as I believe it is.
there will be agitation until it is restor-

it, and whatever the result will be we
will be satisfied d, as !

pennant question was finally settled in
Baltimore's favor. Attendance 1916.

DIAMOND sClNTILLATIoNs.
kaflir Workers in the Mines Work Under
Wire MEETINGS.

The first diamonds discovered in Africa
were found by II trader who saw some
children playing with what they supposed
were pebbles, one of which, at least
proved to be n diamond worth 81. 900
Even at that early day the news of the
discovery was not long in spreading to
different countries, and not many wears
passed before so many claims were taken
up that it was impossible to keep them sep.
arate and the result was one vast mining
district some $4,000 square miles in area.
controlled and worked by various corpor-
ations and ,syndicates. Besides these
there is large number of individual dig
gers, says Il writer in the" Chautauouan. i,
The mining in the African fields is
done by thousands of wild-eyed, black
skinned natives. These Kuf1irs are large
powerful men, clearly in their habits, and
during the time for which their labor is
contracted for usually month. they
are deprived of all freedom. Communi-
cation with any ole outside the limits
of the mine is forbidden. They are com
PEELED to live within. the walled enclos-
ure or compound owned by the company.
While in their employ the Kaf1irs are
clothed and fed by the company, and if
SICK or injured they are cared for at the
