military Ambition aAd silly
sentinental Nonsense.

Those who admire the spirit of the
heroine Of 1.-THE Dragons Teeth" will
delight in q similar story which comes
all the way from Kansas. 1t is the
story of a lass who loved soldier and
followed him to war, followed him to
the Philippines in the garb of man.
The name of the woman is Sadie de
Lande, and that of the man is p. j.
Moore. They were betrothed, but the
man had to go with his regiment, the
Twentieth Kansas, to the war, and
Sadie resolved to follow him.
The girl is a graduate of well-known
seminary in ST. Louis. Returning, she
became engaged to Moore, but only on
the condition that she be allowed for q
year to see him as he appeared among
his fellows of.his. own sex, and thus
apply a-real test TO his character.
Moore agreed. Then came the war.
She got to San Francisco in safety
At Camp Merritt she gave herself up t.
careful study of the military life.
Discipline was rather lax in the regi
ment, in those days, she says, and sh'
was able to fan into line and drill Will
the company without much danger o
detection.
She vows that she took readily to tn
work and was one of the most graceful
soldiers in the awkward squad. Once
indeed, she tainted during proionge'
drill, but her sex was kept secret.
When the regiment went aboard tn
transport Indiana, Sadie was still m tn
ranks. Two days out from port, how
ever, the guarded secret came out.
She was court-martialed and pu
ashore at Honolulu. There she RI
manned for several months, and has no.

Harrison also a Traitor.

Ex.PREsIpENT Harrison is a disap-
pointment to President Mckinley,
Mr.. Harrison was sent to Paris to
represent the United States in the
Venezuelan boundary commission,
and it was thought in administration
circles that it was a good play to
send so distinguished a republican.
He could be relied upon to put in a
good v ord for President Mckinley.
Ever since Mr.. Harrison's arrival in
Paris he has been importuned by re-
porters to express his views on Nc
Kinley's foreign policy, but he reius-
ed until few days ago, when he
talked expressly for publication. lie
said among other things:
"The United States have no desire
for war or conquest. Their attitude
is limited out side Of their own bound
aries to the safeguarding of Liberty.
Our people are opposed to new ven
lures. Ideas on colonization have
been attributed to us that are not
ours. America wishes to grow by
expansion of her commerce, by ex-
porting her products, and not by
force of arms. Our true position is
to guarantee the liberties of people,
but not to dictate their laws"
Of course, Mr.. Harrison will be
called copperhead, traitor and sew
eral other things of the same kind,
but he has put himself on record as
being unalterably opposed to Mckin-
ley's colonial nonsense. AS is well
known, Mr.. Harrison was opposed to
the Spanish-American war. His
policy was to tell Spain to treat the
Cubans right, and if she did not set
about doing it Immediately to send
an army to Cuba, drive the Spaniards
out, turn the island over to the Gu
bans, call the troops hone and close
the Observation-Disclosures City Times.
