Officer Healy Of the Society for the

A Brave Printer Tells Of the Trials
Of Rough Riders.

One of the bravest of the Rough
Riders, formerly an employe OF the

ment, was in Sacramento last night
Tall, strong, brave, and intelligent, this
gentleman-bearing a wound 1nnlcteo
on the flights of San Juan-bore an
honorable discharge, on which were
written these words by Theodore
Roosevelt, now Governor of New York:
IAN excellent commissioned o1n-
Ger; thorough soldier in every way.

brave soldier. for it might look as II
We're trying to blow my own trum-
pet, but I'll tell you anything that you
ask regarding our fight for Santiago.
The gentleman, who was First Ser
geant, then said that he saw seventy
brave men go to battle and come out
week later with but four men well
enough to be around.
'"There were 900 of us against 4,OOO
of them,'' he said, land yet we made
the best of it, and won. The reason
was that 50 per cent. Of the Rough
Riders were genuine daredevil cow
boys, and the balance would fight the
very powers of hell I want to tell
you that those New York millionalres,
like Tiffany and Hamilton Fish, were
genuine thoroughbreds. They became
kitchen solutions and hard workers az
the commonest toll, but they worked
their way to better places afterward,
simply because they had the ability
and the grit. If you ask me why we
won and why the army won against
odds, I will simply say that the only
thing I know is that we were full OF
vigor and determination, ingenuity and
grit. Why, bless your soul, our boys
right alongside of me said: Hear those
machine guns? Now we are giving
them the devil but the guns they
heard were the guns of the Spanish.
What did they care? They drove right
on to victory ANYHOW"
