THE SPIRIT or KANSAS.

From The Louisville Courier-Journal
Kansas has proved-although II needed no proof
thai when IL comes TO test she Is just like the
others OF these United states OF america; She Is
a nick OF the Eagle and forty-hfth OF the Stars
When a war came and there was real blood 70 shed
sviyania Nobody but the Filipinos was surprised
when the Kansas regiment saturday swan the
river a nd took the bockhouse which the insurgents
had fortified and disguised az leper hospital The
Filipinos don't know Kansas although some OF
them are much better acquainted with her since
she introduced herself TO them Saturday II they
had not been so ignorant they would have seen
no cause for establishment at KANSAS conduct;
they would have understood that charging n leper
hospital a small matter TO the boys who think
n nothing to light into the Money Devil In his lair
and that swimming rivers Is trivial TO those who
have been swimming IN gore ever since they quit
swimming In cafnip and paregoric.
