Dear Children:

| wonder if it is as lovely to-day in
other places as it is up here on this
breezy, sunny hill in Kansas. The
temperature went up hundred de
grees in a few DAYS, and now it is so
bright and sunny that it is hard to
think it ever was 80 below zero. The
birds were singing so jubilantlv this
morning as | walked through the col
lege campus, that it seemed much more
like June than FEBRUARY One felt like
looking along the side of the walk for

From the window ! can look over to
where they are working on the college
walks, the big irOn-grays harnessed to
the wagon are nodding sleepilv in the
sunlight, looking as though they
thought a sunbath in FEBRUARY unusu-
ally pleasant
We are all so glad to have the bright
sun warm the air again, because there
are so many people who are too poor
to keep warm when it is SO bitterly
cold. All through those long weeks of
cold weather couldn't help thinking
ever SO much about the acres of waste
wood that | saw at Equality last
summer, that would have to be burned
up before the land could be used.
There are so many poor people to
whom a little of that wood would
have meant comfort inplacc ofmiscry,
and perhaps even life instead ofdcath;
and the people at Equality would
have been SO glad fit could have been
sent to them; but it would have cost
too much, Those who wanted it so
badly, YOU see couldn't get it, and
those who had it didn't want il. and
the result was it had 10 be wasted

Dear Children:

Dear Children:
! hope YOU haven't been having
quite such cold in most of your homes
rs have been having here in Kansas.
This is the day before St Valentine
Day, and Mercury is becoming warmed
up a little by the near approach of the
little blind god. Yesterday his influ-
encc h0dn been felt at all, for all our
thermometers here in Kansas got so
cold that Mr.. AIecury had to go away
down cellar and he got down as far
as 35 below zero in some places before
he thought OF coming up again But
he couldn't stay in the cellar over st.
Valentines Day, SO he is Just putting
his head out. Perhaps by tomorrow
he will come TIP and welcome Master
Cupid in one of the upper stories.
How many of YOU have seen the
beautiful picture OF ~ Chilly Love-?
The little Cupid has put his bow down
and is kuecIing in the snow and hold
ing both plump little hands over a
queer warming pam On the other
side is young woman, holding her
hands over the fire, too. and looking
at Cupid as though he and she were
good friends. | ann afraid the little
Love would have been even more chill
" if he had STAYED long out Of doors
in Kansas on Feb. 10Th.
Now we will hear the story of
PICTURE 80. Y.
There has been a shipWrcck, and a
number Of sailors have succeeded in
climbing onto rock, where they
are clinging for life. Above them rises
q cliff too steep for them to climb, and
the water is rising. The shore is not
far away, but only one Of them, the
eldest, is able to swim. He prepares
to start out for the shore, but his COM
panions beg him foreman with them,
and not leave them helpless, to be
drowned by the rising water At the
risk of his oWnlite hestays with Them
encouraging and cheering them, until
some people who have discovered
their danger let down basket from
the top OF the clitt'and one by one they
are drawn up to safety the eldest one

THE Young Socialist"
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-05-21

Tausig of the gunboat Bennington sent
landing party ashore on Malabon,
young Winship, along with two sea-
men, was detailed as guard to keep
watch on the transfer la6hch. The
landing party, which was made up of
some 125 men. advanced up the coast
without sending out scouting parties or
advance guards, not expecting to find
any F'ilipinos in the vicinity. Much to
their CONSERVATION they were suddenly
set upon by what seemed in the confu-
sion an entire regiment of insurgents.
The Americans broke and fed for the
boats, holly pursued by the natives.
Winship, who was Tuning and chatting
on account of being held back from
possible brush with the enemy, was
pacing disconsolately up and down the
little deck of his boat when he was as
founded to see the men of the Benning-
ton making their mad rush for the
beach. Behind them he saw the Fill
pinos, and it occurred to him that in a
very few minutes his countrymen would
be penned in between the sea and the
enemy. Springfng to the machine gun
in the bow of the launch, he quickly I'M
limbered it. The launch was swung
round, and in less time than it takes to
tell Winship was pouring a deadly rain
of bullets into the ranks of the enemy.
His fire resulted in the checking of the
entire Filipino advance, and during the

Ing away at our boys, not over Is yards
distant. The Americans were in some
what exposed position on a bridge, but
were fighting like tigers when the cry
Red Cross Red Cross!" ran along the
line. This did not cause the Mausers
from the church parapet to stop for one
instant, so the nurses had to do their
bandaging under full fire of the enemy.
The surgeon of that little relief party
was DR.. Young, and his operating was
carried on with Fluctuations of Filipi-
no bullets. AS he and his little band of
heroic nurses were carrying back their
patients in the ambulance of the Red
Cross number of Mauser bullets tore
through the covering of the wagon. DR..
Young stopped bandaging minute to
say that that sort of thing was a terri
BILE nuisance and asked for more asep-
tic lint. The next day DR.. Young and
his little hospital corps went on to Mo-
nadnock, where they worked until they
were exhausted, for not only did they
have the American wounded to take
care of, but there was also many bull

his ceaSeless search for stray or over

beyond what was at the time the firing
line. He found wounded soldier slow

ments were advancing to their assist
ance. Because of this act of gallantry
General Greene promoted Kelly to a
sergeantcy in the signal corps.
One of the most remarkable displays
of cool nerve was the adventure of Pri-
waite Fred Schmidt of the South Dakota
regiment, who was on duty as sentinel
near Manila when he was approached
by two presumably friendly natives.
'Filipinos, muchos amigos, America
nosi" cried the two natives. The next
instant one of them drew a concealed
knife and slashed the unsuspecting
American private twice across the head.
Schmidt fell to the ground-for the
wounds were both horrible ones-and
the two cowardly Filipinos took to their
heels. But the American, though
wounded, was man of nerve Roll
ing over on his stomach and wiping
the blood from his eyes, he calmly
raised his rifle and took deliberate aim
at the two fugitfves. The nearest one
threw up his hands and fell dead at the
first shot. Slipping another cartridge
into his Springfield the wounded senti-
mel again took aim at the remaining ma
tive, but with no apparent effect 1t
was thought he had escaped, but the
next morning he was found lying face
down in some brush stone dead.

THE HoMrNG INSTINCT OF BIRDS.

According to Mr.. Tegetmeier, there is
a tremendous amount of nonsense
talked on the subject of the homing in
stinet of birds. In fact, he states that
pigeons, which are generally supposed
TO possess, it in a large degree, have
simply none and that it was therefore
a sheer impossibility that the pigeons
which Andree took with him should re-
turn.
Pigeons, Mr.. Tegetmeier says, must
know the road they are to travel, or
they can do nothing, and when he
decided to fly them between Belgium
and London his birds were taken sew
eral times over the route that they
might know it well.
At first they were taken out five miles.
then ten, and so on till at last they
knew the whole distance over which
they had to fly 1t is easy for pigeons
to judge where they are going, for at
certain height one can see very long
distance This is a fact we'll known to
aeronauts, who are perfectly astonished
at first by finding how much farther
they can see from balloon than would
be possible from the highest building

time thus gained the men from the Ben
nington were enabled to get to their
boats and SO escape from the trap into
which they had fallen. Winship kept
heroically at his gun until the last man
was afloat, and when he fell back with
gasp, there were five bullet wounds in
his body. The commander of the Ben
nington afterward confessed that but
for the action of the gallant young as
sistant engineer the whole party would
have met immediate death.
When the battle of Caloocan was at
its height, news was brought back from
the advance firing line to the hospital
corps that a Montana captain had been
severely wounded. DR.. w. c. Hamilton
volunteered to go after the wounded
man, but his services were too valuable
to let him out in such danger for so
long time. Thereupon Privates George
Gibbons and Frank Barbee, two San
Francisco volunteers, offered to go out
after the wounded officer in the am
bulance. This they did. When the am
bulance pulled up, the insurgent fire
was concentrated on it and the two
brave men who drove it. Both horses
were shot in their harness. The stall
wart young Gibbons jumped down from
the wagon, picked up the wounded cap
tain in his arms and started for the
rear, when bullet struck him just over
the heart, and he dropped dead. Bar
bee then picked up the wounded man
and carried him on his shoulders a
quarter of a mile back to temporary
quarters. He then returned to where
his comrade lay dead and succeeded in
carrying his body safely back. When
the battle was over, the Montana cap
tain who had been wounded passed over
to the great beyond. but before going
he handed his belt and revolver to Pri-
vate Barbee and told him to keep them
as remembrance.
One of those real heroes of the war
was the Chicago telegraph operator
named Kelly. This young Chicagoan
had charge of the wire from General
Greene's headquarters in camp to the
trenches about Manila. During the at
tack bursting shell cut the wire be-
hind the trenches. Kelly, facing a
steady patter of bullets, CROPPED about
for the broken end of the line outside
the camp and followed it up until he
came to the break and repaired it..
Communication was at once opened up
again, and the puzzled troops in the
trenches were notified that REINFORCE

"Tll do it, sir!" sang out Private
Wade cheerily
Hold on, general!" cried out Ser
geant Sillman. I'm sergeant, and Til
lead it,"
Thereupon Captain Marsh, who had
been ducking bullets some 80 feet away,
stood up under full fire and ran over to
say. I'm commander of this battery,
general, and it's my place to lead this
charge"
Very WELL" said General Macarthur,
''but don't stand up here under fire all
night"
The men had been groveling in the
mud to make room above for the Maui
ser bullets that went singing over their
heads. But they sprang up, and with
nothing but pistols went at the Spanish
blockhouse No. 13 like western cy-
clone. Captain Marsh would not let one
of his men get up the slope ahead of
him, and it is no wonder the Spaniards
cleared out of that blockhouse in some
what of hurry. They were not used to
seeing men charging bareheaded into
the very mouths of their Mausers.

wounds, and it was while busy at this
that he was cut off by the Filipinos and
surrounded. When his body was found,
the throat was cut from ear to ear, his
fingers We're maliciously amputated,
and his remains brutally mutilated.
Another man who is fully entitled to
his red badge of courage is young Cor
poral Reno, enc of the boyish troopers
of the Fourth cavalry During the ad-
vance into Luzon he performed an act
of heroism in one of the engagements
with the insurgents which would have
won for him the Victoria cross had he
been a member of the British army. In
passing through some rough country a
detachment of 80 men under Lieutenant
Boyd was sent ahead to reconnoiter.
When the little skirmishing party was
some distance from their main line, the
enemy suddenly opened fire from an
ambush. They were we'll hidden away,
and the rain of lead they poured into
the little band of Americans was para.
lying. The accommodating party fell
back hastily in disorder, and in the sud
den rush for shelter Private Davicki,
friend of Reno, was wounded and his
party did not pull up until they were
several hundred yards away, well
across deep stream in a clump of
trees. 1t was then that Reno discovered
that his comrade was missing and,
without moments hesitation, wheeled
about and dashed across the stream.
Close up under the enemys fire he
found the wounded private trying to
crawl away out of range. AS soon as
he reached Davicki, Reno pulled up,
dismounted, carefully lifted the wound
ed man into the saddle and told him to
ride for his life. But Davicki wouldn't
ride. He said, Not until you come
too" SO Reno caught hold of one stir
rup and ran alongside as his horse gal
loped back to the regiment. During all
this time the two men were within
range of the enemy's fire, and, though
both of them had been raw recruits,
they displayed the greatest fortitude
while Mausers were whistling so dis
concertingly about their ears
Another soldier hero whose GOODNESS
and bravery will cause his name to be
remembered with pride and pleasure by
all his countrymen is Assistant Engi-
neer Emory Winship, the Georgia boy
