TOM REEDS VIEWS
Plainly Expressed on the Phil
ippine Question.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Tribune from Portland, Me, says:
In a railroad train last night Thomas
B. Reed took part in a discussion with
two Portland men and plainly express
ed his sentiment in regard to the war
in the Philippines. One of the friends
with him, who is a radical expansion
ist, remarked that to withdraw our
troops from the Philippines now would
humiliate our nation before the world.
Mr.. Reed replied:
You don't think those Filipinos
would chase our soldiers 1000 miles, if
they should start for home, do you ?''
The Portland man replied that it was
not fear of the FilipinOS, but humilia-
tiOn in the sight of other nations that
was referred to, whereupOn Mr.. Reed
said:
I have always observed that with
individuals the fear of humiliation is
exactly in proportion as they deserve
it, and I believe the same principle
holds good with a nation and with a
party Some people seem to be afraid
that these FiliDinOs will put their
tongues in their cheeks at us They
have done that already. They have

AN ENDLESS FIGHT.
Is What the Philippine Campaign
Looks Like to an Atchison Soldier.

Atchison, Sept 13.-The Globe receiv-
ed a letter this morning from Jack Mil
Ter, who is with the Twentieth regu-
lars in the Philippines, which indicates
a bad state of affairs.
He says that all the Filipinos look
alike, and Aguinaldo's soldiers come
and go at will. He is doing guard
duty in Manila, and says the natives
are very impudent, but soldiers are not
permitted to resent insults. The Fill
pino army has divided up into squads
which harass and attack the American
soldiers, and get away because of a
knowledge of the country. He says 1t
looks like an endless fight.

A TRAGEDY IN A PICTURE.
His Snap Shot of a Drink Tint Killed
Two Men.

''The most remarkable snap shot pic
ture in the world is owned by friend
of mine in town in Georgia" said an
enthusiastic amateur photographer.
Its story is extremely curious. 1t
seems that he went one day to black
smith shop to get shot at the men 1t
the forge. The smith was engaged OH
a difficult piece of ironwork and had
two helpers. Just behind them Oh n
shelf was pint flask full of yellowish
white liquor, evidently the corn whis-
ky for which the native Georgian has
a peculiar liking.
''As my friend was preparing to take
his picture one of the helpers caught
sight of the bottle and communicated
his discovery by dumb show to his
companion. The smiths back was
turned at the moment, and the first
man reached stealthily for the prize.
while my friend, unnoticed in the cor
ner, quickly aimed his camera. 1t was
comical scene, and in his mind he
had already named the photo The
Stolen Drink
''The helper uncorked the flask and
took a swift gulp, and his comrade
snatched it and did likewise. Then for
brief, breathless instant they looked
at each other, and as they did so their
foolish grin gave way TO such a stare
of questioning horror as l never saw
before upon a human face. know
because it was then that the camera
clicked, and the picture is as clear us
crystal. The flask contained carbol;c
acid Within an hour both men werc
dead.
when my friend took one print, he
broke the negative so as to make the
photograph absolutely unique. 1t
shows the forward end of the shop
In the foreground is the anvil, with
the smith bending over his work. Be-
hind him are the two helpers, one still
holding the flask, looking at each 9TH
er. You can see tragedy in their eyes
as plain as print. 1t is a frightful anl
dramatic tableau that could not be
duplicated by any sort of art."-New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
