SOME CHICAGO FAKES.
Nothing Genuine to Eat or Drink
in the Hash Houses There.

With an ah of indecision the stranger
who had dropped into Dearborn street
lunchery turned to the solemn looking
man sitting on the stool next to him
and said:
II beg your pardon, but called for a
roast beef sandwich, and / believe the
waiter girl has brought me a roast
horse sandwich. 1t looks like horse and
it tastes like horse. Would you mind
giving me your opinion?"
He uncovered the slab of meat re !.
posing between two slices of bread, and
the solemn looking man leaned over
and inspected it.

he asked.

And this is what she brought you?"
'It is''
The solemn looking man shook his
head.
"It is undoubtedly horse meat" he
said. "Carette horse. What else did you
call for?''
"a glass of milk
And they gave you that white stuff?'
yes That's milk all right enough,

"Yes, it is probably milk, but you

brigade commanders. 1t was this state
OF things which led to the assertion
that the general officers were weak at
San Juan Ridge. The fact is that the
ground was unsuitable for forming and
charging in brigade columns. The reg

Morton says that the Majors did not

the companies but shouted out the
command Forward" Then the line
plunged into an almost impenetrable
chaparral Again there was a cry that
there were troops in front. The line
halted a few minutes, and it was seen
that the brush was full of troops. It
appears that the Sixth Cavalry, the
Ninth and the Third and the Rough
Riders from Woods brigade were all
aiming at the same point.

When the skirmishers got through
they called out that there was cavalry
moving across the front That made
it necessary to draw the line back.
Through the openings in the trees,
Captain Morton and others saw the left
Of the San Juan intrenchments and
Spaniards with guns at hand 600 or
100 yards away, looking at the Ameri-
can line. At the time the dynamite
and the Hotchkiss guns in rear of the
brigade opened fire on the Spaniards.
The dynamite gun was choked with the
first cartridge, and the cavalrymen say
that the Hotchkiss gun was silenced
by the Spaniards, who then turned
their rifles and shrapnel upon the cav
alrymen. In this plight the cavalry re-
mained an hour and a half. subjected
TO constant volley firing and to shrap-
mel. The officers of the brigade esti-
mated that the cavalry division suf-
fered from 70 to 80 per cent of it's
casualties around that crossing. Dead
and wounded were brought there
through ranks of men, only a few of
whom had been under fire before. Says
Captain Morton a veteran of twenty
six battles, ut was enough to rattle
the bravest, but not an officer or SOL
dier left the position except to help
the wounded"
To some old soldiers it may seem
strange that at Santiago fighting men
left the ranks to help the wounded.
But that is according to the new order
of things. Every man has first aid
package in his kit, and it is part of
his duty to apply it when a eomrade
is stricken down. If it had not been
for this, the mortality at Santiago
would have been terrible. The first aid

The next order to this brigade was
brought by aids who came to Major
Vessels and told him that the brigade
was to advance. They could give no
definite instructions. Vessels said that
he was not in command of the brigade,
but that Colonel Carr was, and was
somewhere on the ground. The aids
discussed among themselves what was
to be done, and finally agreed that the

 Care should be taken not to confuse zeal for prohibition with righteousness. A good many prohibitionists are very good people who love righteousness, and try hard, according to their lights, to promote it. But while zeal for pro- hibition is not inconsistent with high character, 1t seems not to be in itself especially conducive to high morality. Individual prohibitionists are some- times sadly lacking in virtue, and cheat and lie and behave improperly. just as other bad people do who are not inter- ested in prohibition.
