velopments have demonstrated how I'M
portant a post theirs is, and had they
not remained true to the responsibilities
devolving upon them, these quiet streets
would have ere this been the scene of
most bloody and terrible work, In which
the weak and defenseless would have
been the main sufferers.
Many Of our Minnesota friends, being
imbued with that spirit of bravery and
love of country that has characterized
the American soldier from the start. have
lost sight of their own responsible work
here in the city and have gone. and In
a number of cases without leave, to the
front to lend a helping hand there. This,
of course was q mistake; but one that
reflects a great deal Of credit and no
dishonor upon them. It is no light thing
for a soldier of Old Glory to remain In
the city. where, on the surface, everything
seems quiet, and hear the rattle of rifles
and the boom Of guns In the distance,
and know that brave comrades. are fight
irs and dying in the same cause he rep
-resents; and, as we said before, it re-
quires a cool headed. intelligent courage,
such as the Minnesotans possess, to sue
cesfully could hold such post.

Jack Price, Of CoInpany@D, Thirteenth

patrolling along in Asuncion street, b.

parently deserted house. To his amaze

nfty-flve Filipinos holding q solemn con-
clave.
1t was>a regular STARTER, but Jack Price
was equal to the emergency. Fall in and

Spanish. And, strange to- relate, they
did. Having gathered them all together
he proceeded to march them Of In pairs.
Along the road the strange procession
passed, but as 1t went along to durance

to quicken the pace of the rearmost, and,
thus pressed on. the whole f1fty-nine went

Your regiment and the Eighth army
corps have reason to be proud Of YOU
AFTER SATISFACTION.
Another brave deed that Is recorded by
Freedom" is the following story OF how
| Tennessee volunteer got even for a
wounded arm, and only serves to show
the stuff OF which our volunteer soldiers
In the Philippines are made Of:
"One of the Tennessee boys was wound
ed the other day, and taken to division
headquarters, No. 2 hospital, where 1t
was found his arm was quite seriously af-
fected. The wounded member was care
fully dressed and placed in plaster OF
Paris bandage, and the patient from the
moonshine country was ordered to bed
and told to remain quiet. Yes, he re-
manned quiet. He scarcely moved for
! ten minutes. And then he reached for
his rife and with BY G. Pm going to
get satisfaction, he started out and has
been doing soldiers duty ever since"
GOOD ADVICE.

boys down once in a while for their hilar
