GEN. STARTERS MODEST STORY
Not Society Generals Version of the
 Santiago Campaign

The Century for February publishes by General Shafter
 It is a clear, concise, comprehen- sive story, of 9 profoundly important and signally successful military move ment, which closed the Spanish war.
 There is no vain boasting; there is no criticism of superiors, no effort to take any credit from others, but with cut directly responding either to Miles or Dicky Davis, it is utterly de- structive of all their indignant at tempts to write history from the stand point of society general
 General Shaster's story makes one realize anew the great difficulties en- countered and the energy ard re- sources with which they were over come
 One sees that the result was not an accident; it was fOreordained by the proper coordination of means. An ac- cident might at several critical mo- ments have extended the war indefi- nitely. General Shafter saw the foe Spanish foe i,l front, and he redoubled his efforts to destroy the Spaniards be- fore disease laid his army law.
 The article should be read by every one who cares for the glory of his country, and few, we think, will read it without saying that Miles and the yellow journalists have done great in justice to Shafter, but that they have been unable to dim the glo-y of his army.-Louisviile Pest Dem.)

TIME TO STOP BIRD MURDER.

Speedy action is urged on congress in extending the power of the fish con- mission, so that it shall have authority fer the preservation of our birds. The protectors cannot begin their work too soon. A campaign against the ignor- ance and heartlessness that have de- strOyed millions of our winged friends cannot r5e much longer delayed, and measures for saving their lives by force may yet be needed. Though we are absorbed by the problems that con- front US in Cuba, Porto Rico and Ha- waii, the saving of the birds is a thou sand times more important than our late w2C' and all the results that have ccme from it. Fer without birds this earth would become prey to insects and green things would be stripped from the land Farming would be pos sible only at an immense expense, no artificial means could keep down the increase of the worms and beetles and grubs and flies that already damage the crops to a Woeful extent, and eX- istence would become a struggle, in deed It is sad that women, who have so long enjoyed credit for tenderness and consideration, should have counte- nanced this damnable slaughter Of our birds.-BrOoklyn Eagle.

 Send forth the best ye breed Go, bind your sons to exile
 To serve your captives' need; To wait, in heavy harness,
 On fluttered folk and wild Your new-caught sullen peoples,
 Half devil and half child. Take up the White Mans Burden
 In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror
 And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple,
 An hundred times made plain, To seek another's profit
 And work anothe-s gain. Take up the White Mans burden
 The savage wars Of peace Fill full the mouth of Famine,
 And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest
 (The end for others s0ught) Watch sloth and heather folly
 Bring all your hope to nOught. Take up the White Mans burden
 No iron rule of kings, But toll of serf and sweeper
 The tale of common things The ports ye shall not enter,
 The roads ye shall not tread. Go, make them with your living
 And mark them with your dead. Take up the White Mans burden,
 And reap his old reward The blame of those ye better
 The hate of those ye guard The cry Of hosts we humOF
 (Ah, slowlyD toward the light:- 'tWhy brought ye us feCm bondage. Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Mans burden
 Ye dare not stOOp to less Nor call too loud on Freedom
 To cloak your weariness. By all ye will or whisper,
 By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples
 Shall weigh your God and you. Take up the White Mans burden!
 Have done with childish days The lightly profered laurel,
 The easy ungrudged praise: Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years, Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment Of your peers.

HIDDEN AWAY IN HAYsEED.
Edwin Thomps0n's Discovery Of Valu-
 able Historical Papers.

A curious discovery just made in Connecticut is that by Edwin s. ThCmps3n of Derby who, while clean ing a hay1oft in his barn, found three old wallets filled with revolutionary papers which will add materially to historical records. The wallets were hidden away in a bushel basket half full of hayseed. They were of stout leather, hand made and lined with newspaper, and were the property of MT. Thcmpson's great-uncle, Levi Hotchkiss, being previously owned by his father, Levi, and his uncle, Moses Hotchkiss. In one Of them the printed lining is perfectly legible and proves to be part of a Connecticut Journal and Post Bag of the date of December 12, 1774, and bearing evidence of having been printed by Thomas Samuel Green. near the college.'
 Levi Hotchkiss, the owner, was born in 1754 and was a staunch patriot throughout the revolution. His broth CT Moses, the owner of one of the ether wallets, was year or so his brothers junior Among the papers which he saved so carefully and which his nephew preserved was one showing the efforts made to supply the soldiers with necessities.
 The oath OI alleSlance WhlCn Lew Hotchkiss took is one of the most val uable and interesting papers in the col lection.
 The original pension which was granted Levi Hotchklss for his ser vices during the revolution is still an- other relic found among the papers. It bears the autograph of John C. Cal hcUn. who was then secretary of war, and was issued in 1919, during Mon roe's administration. A paper bill two and one-half by three inches, rep resents one-siXth of a dollar and bears

Members of the Astor

Members of the Astor battery are now sorry they had to leave Manila. They are ready to return again now that trouble has begun. Yet there are some pessimistic souls who declare that the men of the United States would be slow to take up arms again. Not even the fate of many of their comrades last summer would deter the volunteers from going through their cid experiences if it became necessary.
