DIDN'T sTEAL--JUsT Rustic
and They Got Everything
In sight.


When joined the rough riders in the
field l had nothing but my oldest suit
of clothes and good six-shooter.
Haven't you anything OF your
own?" asked Col. Roosevelt. after a
plying glance at my bicycle slippers
and straw hat.
81 have some extra eyeglasses, sir"
said.
"Well, you'll have to rustic for a
uniform and equipments" remarked
the colonel, but you'd better be careful
how you do it,"
At the next Inspection was arrayed
in a First cavalry hat, shirt from the
New York Seventy-iirst, Spanish trou-
sers, navy revolver, in q German cav
airy hostler from the Prussian military
attache, Cuban machete, a Red Cross
blanket, and a mule-driver's poncho.
Where did you get the clothes?"
asked Col. Roosevelt. adding quickly, 81
won't ask. As long as you have uni
form you'll do"
With this encouragement from a
high quarter I was duly started on my
military career, and it was not my
fault If lacked for aught hencefor-
ward. Yet l learned that the thing
could be overdone. That same night
there was a terrific row because some
Napoleonie genius had succeeded in
filching the only package of sugar in
the outfit, just after the captains or
derly had formally donated It to the
troop. Every mans hand was lifted
against the other. and the quarrels
and recriminations became so fierce
that several of the former cattlemen
fondled their siX-shooters dangling at
their hips.
Next day was ordered TO report at
division headquarters, across the hill.
While I was standing at attention
heard the following dialogue between
Gen. Wheeler and his adjutant:
81 have found your saddle horse. sir"
'Where was it?"
an the rough riders camp"
"Well, III be blowed! How did II get
there?"
"They stole it, sir"
"Where is IL now?"
at is stlll over there. They claim IT
is their own and refuse to give it up
They say they found it grazing in their
trenches four days ago"
The old general arose in his wrath
eXclaiming: as there anything those
devils won't steal? Report the facts to
Col. Roosevelt with my compliments
aud tell him that ] must insist on hav-
ing my horse returned TO me"
The adjutant departed and Gen
Wheeler turned 10 me. As he recog
nized the cross sabers and number on,
on my army hat his face clouded and
he said:
$50 you are one of the rough riders
Well, you may be good fghters-in fact
you have shown yourselves TO be gooC
fighters-but for downright thievery
you are the worst have ever known
Why, your camp is known all over thl
army as den of thieves. 1t is won
der to me how some of you ever man
aged to get out here unhanged."
''We have the sheriff of Cripple Creel
to keep US straight, sir" said 1, salut
ing, and was promptly sent away on de
| tail
When I got back TO our camp
found the generals horse still grazing
at its place, while the generals adju
tant was making excited expostula
tions in front of Col. Roosevelt's tent

tress in Cuba, which preceded the
breaking out of hostilities between
our country and Spain, been actively
engaged in its humanitarian work of
ministering to the necessities of the
men in the field and of the suffering
CuMns. 1t has sent many articles
of comfort, even of life-saving i'm
portance to our troops in their vari-
ous camps, sometimes in response to
most touching appeals; the appeal
came and the Society was ready. 1t
has besides made a large number of
shipments ofgoods, provisions, cloth
ing, medicines to the Cubans. In
all its work it has been nobly up
held, notably by the people Of Phila-
delphia, but also by those of other
parts Of the State and of New Jersey.

LODGED In JAIL.
Three Men from Shamokin
in Jail Charged with the
Robbery of. P. Kantz.

On Saturday Chief of Police Gil
lam and Constable Campbell of
Shamokin and Constable Gember-
ling of Selinsgrove brought VIM.
and Daniel kehlerand VIM. Snyder
Of Shamokin to the county Jail at this
place. They are charged by J.
p. kantz OF Monroe township with
having burglarized his residence on
Friday night, July %, and stole
therefrom 800 inmoney, a govern
ment check for $50 and note for
500. The men were first arrested
in Shamokin by the police last Fri
day night. On Saturday they were
brought to Selinsgrove and given Il
hearing before Squire Holmes and
in default of $1,000 bail each, were
brought to the Jail atthis place.
The prisoners claim that they can
prove an abili. One of the Kehlers
says ne was working night shift in
a mine and that three other men were
working with him. Snyder says
that DR.. Harpel was in hishouse at
tending his sick wife between ten
and elt ven o'clock and some neigh
bors were in his house later that
night.
We know nothing OF the facts in
the possession of the prosccutionup-
on which they base their charges. 1t
appears from admissions made by
these men that they frequently did
some fishing in that vicinity. If
they are the guilty parties, there
will he no trouble toprovc that they
frequently visited Mr.. kantz'.
home having quite often eaten ut
Mr.. kantz's table and even sold
Strawberries for Mr.. kantz in
Shamokin. The prisoners are try
ing to secure bail from Shamokin to
secure their liberty.

a merchant of Shamokin, who on
oath stated that he was worth SOL.
600, entered 81, 900 bail for the re,
lease of William Kchler. He was
accompanied by Squire Ungcr
These gentlemen say thatthe kchlel
boys and Snyder have excellent rep.
utations at home and they have IL,
faith in the charge against them
The other Keller and Snyder will
probably get bail ina day or two.

ances anda properly equipped field
hospital,

The fall of Santiago reopens the
opportunity Of merciful work in
Cuba. The Society has already
made arrangements to forward sew
eral tons of stores, which have been
Cnly waiting for chance to be sent,
and has appropriated in addition for
this shipment, 81, 200. But this is
but drop in the ocean of suffering.
More must bc done. The Society
proposes, therefore, to charter a
steamer, to sail from Philadelphia
about August 10Th, to convey the
ambulance corps and equipment to
the front and to load the vessel with
stores, such as soldiers may need
and which the government does not
provide, and withc clothing, food, and
medicine and such other things as
may be required by those wrctched,
suffering people, by whom we en-
couraged to resist Spain and,omake
a struggle for liberty, and whose
suffering has been teartilly and ne
cessarily enhanced by the war upon
which wehave entered.
The Society, therefore, appeals to
what has never been appealed to in
vain, TO thegrand old heart of Penn
sylvania, the grand old Common
wealth whose foundations were laid
in love to man, irrespective of race,
and asks for contributions of goods
and money to enable it to carry out
its prcjcct-to save lives-to relieve
suflcring-to feed the starving-to
clothc the naked. TheSociety makes
this appeal in all confidence. Penn
sylvania has never vet failed when
called upon in the name of patriotism
and humanity. She will not fail
now!
