BRAVERY OF OUR SOLDIERS



Manila, April / l.-Instances Of per.
sonal bravery have been as numerous in
the American army in the Philippines
as during the Cuban campaign, but the
correspondents have not had the same
opportunity to chronicle these deeds Of
daring in the Orient, because. owing
to the thickness Of the country pene-
tratel, many heroic acts were unseen
and unheard of for days after their oc.
currence. One soldier who has we'll
illustrated the quality of the American
army is Captain Charles Clay. of the
Seventeenth infantry. Captain Clay
is native of Lexington, Ky, and a
grandson OF Henry Clay. He brought
new honor to the family name in Cuba.
where during the hottest action OF the
Santiago field, when his men were
lying behind cover for shelter from
a shower of bullets, he marched back
and forth in front of his company as
erect and cool as though on dress pa
rade, nor would he yield to the appeals
of the men that he find shelter. 1.-The
captain never forgot for 4 second that
he was Clay" one of them explained.
When Captain Hale WAS assigned to
brigade in the Philippines he APP
pointed Clay to the position OF adju-
tant. On the first day OF MacArthur's
advance. Captain Clay, riding erect, as
usual, received bullet through the
neck. He lay six hours in the jungle
before he was discovered, and as the
wound was a dangerous one at best,
his life was despaired OF. His only
thought when he was brought into the
hospital was that his family should be
informed that he was but slightly in
jured. He is now. however, well on
the road to complete recovery.
Among those officers who have fallen
no one will be longer or more loyalty
remem bered by his comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg, Of the Fourth IN
| fautry. No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living,
for he had friends, success in his pro-
fession, and a vitality and physical
strength that made him the imperson
alton of the athlete and soldier. His
fearlessness and confidence IN MS pow
els contributed to his death. In the
beginning of the hot fight at Marlouina'
which General Hall conducted with
such skill and success that 1t was
worthy OF more attention than the over
shadowing importance OF Macarthur 8
advance permitted, Gregg was near MS
chief. The horse he rode had Just
been shot under him. He was taking
off the saddle when a man warned MIN
that the shot had been fired by sharp
shooter in tree near by. Refusing to
take cover, as most Of the men were 40
ing. the lieutenant stepped forward,
and, standing erect. uncased MS helu
glasses to look at the tree. Just as ne
raised them to his eyes pun OF smoke
was seen in the tree, Gregg put his
hand to his breast and fell forward
| killed instantly.

There's nothing on earth so mysteri.
ously funny as an advertisement. The
prime, first and last, al-the- time OBJ
ject of an ad is to draw custom. 1t was
not, and never will be- designed for any
other purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy season Genes. and his
store is so full of customers that he
can't get his hat off. and then he rusheS
off to the printer and goes in for adver-
Using. When the dull season gets
along and there is no buying, and he
wants to sell his goods so bad he can.
not pay his rent. he stops advertising.
That is, some of them do: but occa.
sionally a level-hcaded merchant does
more of it and scoops in the business.
while his neighbors are making mort.
cages to pay the gas bills.
There are times when you cOuldn't
stop people from buying everything in
the store If you planted a cannon be-
hind the door, and that's the time when
the ad is sent on its holy mission. 1t
makes light work for advertising. for q
chalk sign on the sidewalk would do
all that was needed, and have a half
holiday every day in the week. But
who wants to favor an al? 1t is built
to do hard work, and should be sent
out on the dull days, when customer
has to be knocked down with hard
facts, and kicked inscnsible with bank
rupt reductions, and dragged in with
irresistible slaughter of prices, before
he will spend Il cent. That's the aim
and end of advertising. AMI if you ever
open a store don't try to get them to
come when they are sticking out of tho
windows, but give them your ad right
between the eyes in the dull season,
and you will wax rich, and own a fast
horse, and perhaps be able to smoke q
cigar once or twice year.
Write this down where you'll fall
over it every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business.
and not when you have more business
than you can attend to.-EXchange.

New York. May 16.-Under the in

Gate of Tears and Bridge of Signs.

The Straits of Babelmandeb, the
passage from the Persian Gulf into the
Red Sea, are called the Gate of Tears
by the Arabs. The channel Is only
about twenty miles wide, rocky and
very dangerous for passage in rough
weather. 1t received its melancholy
name from the number Of shipwrecks
that occurred there.
The Bridge of Signs is the bridge OF
Venice which connects the palace OF
the Doge with the State prison, and
was so called because over it prisoners
were conveyed from the Judgment hall
to the place of execution.
