81 Klegg and his chum Shorty, both
of the 200th Ind. at Chickamauga engage in
fierce battle. 81 and Shorty capture rebel
flag but both fall i'll the melee. They are
taken off the field in bad condition. Deacon
Klegs hears about 1t and Journeys to the
hospital. He fails to he able to buy some
chickens for Sis broth IN account of the
owners fear of taking U. S. money. So he
raids his rOost in the darkness, drops So
bill at the feet of the owner, and dashes
away i'll time to escape capture by the
Johnnies He makes savOry dish for 81 and
Shorty. Foraging again he surprises and
captures n team containing provisions pre-
pared for the men in u rebel camp by the
same people from whom he got the chickens.
Being conscientious, he tries to return the
team later. Rebel artillery frightens the
horse, which demolishes the wagon. A conf
pany of Union cavalry relieves the Deacon of
the horse and gives him COW, which Is
claimed as Gen. ROsecrans's. The General
recognizes Mr.. Klegg and consents to let 81
and Shorty 90 home with him, which they
do. Shorty gets a letter from sweetheart
he has never seen. The letter is read before
the family, and makes Shorty so ashamed

MIR. RAMON REYES LALA, a
native OF Manila, man of the high
est intelligence, and who probably
knows more about the Philippines
than any other man at present in
sight, says that there are 80 dis
tinct tribes in the archipelago, all
of whom hate one another. The
most prominent are the Tagals, the
Visayans, and the Sulus. The
latter are Mahometans. The Visa
yans and the Sulus are enemies
but still more bitterly inimical to
the Tagals, whom Aguinaldo is
trying to make the rulers. Mr..
L-ala says that "the withdrawal OF
the Americans from the islands
would be the signal for a race war.
that would be carried to every part
of the archipelago, bringing death
to countless thousands of the peo-
pie and destruction to every vested
interest"

the resolutions was composed Of an
eminent Judge from New England;
another jurist of equally high
standing from California, and a
conrade whose brilliant oratorv
has given him a National reputa-
ton from Maine to California, and
who was a powerful factor IN rally
ing the veterans to the support OF
Mckinley and Hobart in 1896.
The full Committee on Resolutions
which had charge of the matter
was made up of the very ablest
comrades in the Order-lnen who
have achieved deserved success in
every walk of life; as farmers,
bankers, manufacturers insurance
men, lawyers, physicians, etc. The
National Encampment was made
up of this class of men-men of the
highest standing in their commu-
mites, and whose lead their fellow
citizens are glad to follow in trade,
commerce, manufacturing and poll
tics. There may have been an
occasional pension attorney among
them-and pension soliciting is as
honorable as any other vocation
but 95 per cent. of the men who
unanimously adopted those reso-
lutlons never had any further con-
nection with a pension claim than
to give their help TO some worthy
comrade of their regiment to get
what was justly due him. Mr..
Evanss talk about pension at
torneys is misleading clap-trap.
AS we have said before, nine
have elapsed since the Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic made this
earnest appeal for better treatment
of the veterans, and he has made |
absolutely no amendment of the
vicious course which provoked |
this severe arraignment. This |
shows him incapable of reforma-
ton.

The testimony is given over and over that after

The hard stubborn facts are that Grape-Nuts do
