The fact that the Hawaiian natives
shed tears when they saw the flag of
Hawaii come down for the last time
has started a st. Louis antiquarian to
find out how the people of upper
Louisiana received their new rulers
when on the 9th OF March, 1904, that
territory was transferred from Spain
to the United States. From contem-
porary records it is learned that the
French people and the Spaniards wept
when they saw the flag of Spain
lowered, and that only few faint
cheers greeted the Stars and Stripes
when it rose above the fort at St.
Louis. Yet those very Frenchmen and
Spaniards soon wiped away their tears
and their descendants have had a
thousandfold cause to be thankful that
st. Louis became American.

A Dream.

I dreamed had hard words with You -
Last night, dear love, | know not why,
Some trivial word or act 81 tSufsx~y
Had reused my anger. andAwheIs1 L -
Awoke, my heart and brain
Were smarting with the wrong and

| dreamed your eyes-those tender eyes
Looked coldly. sternly into mine,
And in the accents of your voice
Was no conciliating sign,
And yet. it's strange. l do not know
What twas that chafed and vexed us

Forgive me, love! I had forgot;
Dreams are as treacherous as our joys,
And, dreaming, l rene mbered not
That for three years your blessed voice
Has silent been, and daisies white
Have hid your sweet eyes from my

The fatalist who let the caterpillars
have their own sweet way last spring
on the ground that what is to be will
be. has been getting some comfort
from the fact that Hallowell, which
did all possible to destroy the worms
in the cocoon also had caterpillars this
summer 1t is possible. however, that
the protection of the trees didn't ex-
tend over a large enough area to be
wholly effectual, and that if several
neighboring towns had united with
Hallowell in the work the results
would have been more satisfactory.
The Reporter-Journal mentions the
fact that the willow trees on the edge
of the stream at the rear of the stores
in Gardiner are a sight, being COM
pletely covered with the tents of some
species of caterpillar. The tents re-
semble those of the army worm, but
are much larger, some of them being
fully the size of a bushel basket
Smaller nests of the same variety have

War and Disease.

AS much as everyone must deplore
the amount Of sickness among our
victorious troops, 1t is a fact. never
theless. that the percentage OF deaths
from disease for the number Of men
enrolled is far less than 1t was in the
Civil War.
The records OF the Union army show
mortality list Of II per cent Of the
entire force. or $4,000 in all. OF these
93,44S were killed in battle or died sub
sequently Of wounds; 1926 died OF
disease, the cause of death in the re-
manning cases being for the most part
unknown. The hospital records show
that 6049,64s cases were treated during
the Civil War, the mortality list being
as follows:
Gunshot wounds. sSs49
Diarrhea, 35127
Dysentery, $3.50
Typhoid, 90 3333G
Typfo -malarial fever $500
Remittent fever. ASH
Intermittent fever, AGA
Inflammation of lungs, 1881
Smallpox, 705S
Measles, 5,177
During the war 2S5,245 men were dis
charged for disability, classified as fol-
lows: Gunshot wounds, 34.2O9; con-
sumption, 20,905; diarrhea, 16,4S7; de-
bility. 1000; rheumatism, 1853; heart
disease, 1927. The heavy mortality
which must have resulted in these
cases is not included in the mortality
records of the war;
In comparing the present condition
of our army with the Illness in the
army that fought the Civil War many
things have to be considered to arrive
at a just result. The statistics of the
Civil War covered a period of four
years, while the late war was a matter
of four months. If the war with Spain
has been prolonged and the percentage
of illness should have proportionally
increased, the mortality would have
exceeded proportionately that in the
Civil War. But prolongation of the
war would not have so resulted, for
the reason that cold weather would
have put an end to the yellow fever
epidemic and have checked the ad-
vance of nearly all diseases which have
attacked the troops during the hot
season.
The army which fought the Civil
War had no such climatic conditions to
contend with as our present army had
in Cuba. Their worst experience in
respect to climate was in the Southern
states. where many of our presen,
troops have been quartered during the
most unhealthful season Of the year in
that section. No one will question the
fact that they could not have been
M Qncentrated elsewhere under the cir
f0mstances. The army Of the Civil
War did not have to be transported in
troopships. hastily gathered and fitted
up in an emergency. A crowded ship
in the temperate climate of the North
Atlantic is not sanitary habitation
by any means, and in Cuban waters e
is prolific breeder of pestilential dis
eases.
When one considers that an army of
young men, recruited largely from the
Northern states, invaded Cuba at a
season of the year when even natives
and acclimated foreigners fear the
climatic dangers, the per cent of ILL
ness is easily accounted for, and it is
tribute to the fine physical makeup
of our troops that SO many escaped
without illness of some kind.
A Massachusetts paper makes the
strange discovery that John D. Long
would not be an acceptable successor
