A Thrilling Scene in the Field Hos
Dital at Guasimas,

There is one incident of the day which
shines out in my memory above all others
now as I lie in a New York hospital
writing. 1t occurred at the field hospital.
About a dozen or US We're lying there. A
continual chorus of means rose through
the tree branches overhead. The sur
geons, with hands and barred arms drip
ping, and clothes literally saturated with
blood, were straining every nerve to pre-
pare the wounded for the journey down
Clintock with his lower leg-bones literally
ground to powder. He bore his pain as
CALAMITY as he had led his men, and that
is saying much. l think Maj. Brodie was
also there. 1t was q doleful group. Am
putation and death stared its members in
their gloomy faces.
Suddenly a voice started softly,
My country, It's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, 49,"
OF thee | sing. iiai,:t
Other voices took it up: a
Land where my fathers died.
Land Of the Pilgrims pride
The quivering, quavering chorus, pune
tuated by grOanS, and made SpaSmOdic by
pain, trembled up from that little group
of wounded Americans in the midst of the
Cuban solitude-the Quickest, most heart
felt song that human beings ever sang.
There was one voice that did not quite
keep up with the others. 1t was so weak
that l did not hear it until ali the rest
had finished with the line,
Let Freedom ring.
Then hating, struggling, faint, it repeated
slowly,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Let Freedom -
The last word was a woeful cry. One
more son had died as died the fathers

Iowa, from paralysis induced by long
suffering from rheumatism. Mr..

The Ceuterville local paper devotes
considerable space to his death and
says, in conclusion:
He had scores of old time friends
and acquaintances in the county. who
will be much panied to hear of his
death and who yet will rejoice to
know that he has been released from
mis- long years of patient suffering.

OF all the salaried or Presidential
ppsts tfices in Vermont. there are only
twelve this year that show an in
crease over last year in the salary of
the postmaster, and one of them is
Hyde Park, which is raised from
$1,000 to SI700. 1t is only eight
years since Hyde Park became a
.Presidential" office. Before that
time the postmaster received less
than $1,000. The growth in the
Hyde Park Office runs practically
parallel with the growth of ex Gov.
Pages calf skin business; $1,000
salary means business of $1,000 to
$2100, and a S1700 salary means a
business of $4,000 to $4,000, an in
crease of nearly 800 per cent. We
think no other town in the State ap
proaches Hyde Park in its ratio OF
growth in this department.
