them more vulnerable to attack and
their subsequent relapse was quite VIC

severest sufferers on reports of Il pro-

and Continental Tobacco dropped four

American Sugar and Brooklyn Rapid

FIGHTING DEATH
WITH LONG SLEEP.

Guard Until the Springtime.

peasant and death between now and
spring.
Around the great oven that stands
in the center of each poor hut the low
wooden cots of the family are arrang
ed, The fires are started. There is al
most no ventilation in the huts, and
that is part of the campaign against
death. The members of the family will
lie down to the winters sleep and
soon lose consciousness.
One alone of the family will stand
guard-to feed the fire. The vigil is a
terrible one. Around him lie those
most dear to him, struggling against
death. Hour after hour the peat-na-
lures only gift to these unfortunates-
is piled on the fire. The atmosphere is
sitting. The sleepers lie in torpor-
more dead than aliYe-but at least I'M
conscious to the awful pangs of hun
ger.
But hunger at last manifests itself.
)nce each day the sleepers rouse from
heir stupor a crust of bread for each
; taken from the hoard, soaked in
water and munched. The guard is
changed, and again the sleepers crawl
back to their cots.
And so day after day, night after
night, the long fight against starvation
is kept up-until, at last, the spring
comes, and with it new life and new
hope.

going down for the third time when she
reached him. Mrs. Bells clothing
buoyed her up, and she screamed for
help. A number of men ina neighboring
coal yard heard her cries and ran to her
rescue. One of them secured rope and
threw it to her. She had presence of
mind to grasp it, and was dragged safe
ly ashore. When she was taken out of
the water she tainted from exhaustion,
Her son was unconscious, as he had
swallowed great quantity of water. A
doctor was summoned, and after hard
work he revived both.

cry. She speaks lightly of it, but
her husband asserts that she is the
bravest woman in the community.

AMERICANS NEVER FLIcKERED.

NEVER FLICKERED,
About the only thing that 1 actu-
ayremember seeing was that those
Americans never "fiickered." (That
was not the word he used, but it
expresses his idea) They kept
coming; they seemed to run all the
way, and how they did shoot! But
Polo was even fiercer. Everywhere
we looked that day we could see
Americans. There seemed to be
thousands Of them. We kept back
ing up, but they kept crowding us
so much that we could hardly tell
where they were or where we were
trying to go. We had a whole bril-
gade there. It's funny, but a man
doesn't seem to know much else but
how to run when he gets in place
like Polo.
Our officers, though, never try to
explain why 1t is that we never
stopped the Americans-guess they
don't know themselves. They fire.
quently, however, tell us that the
Americans are very brave; they adj
vance to attack and never stop.
And our officers often tell us that
they wish they had American SOL
diers instead Of us. But that is on
ly little thing to some of their
mistreatment
The American custom of dealing with
captured Filipinos has varied with the
varying conditions of the country, and
the changing ideas of the division
commanders. An officer who has seen
service here from the outbreak Of hos
Titles said the other day: at is bet
ter to capture one Filipino gun that a
dozen Filipinos. The former we can
keep away from Aguinaldo and the
latter will keep themselves away"
In other words, it is safe, to the
minds Of the old officers at least, to
turn the prisoners loose, and the Fill
Pine quoted above is no exception to
this rule. When asked what he
would do if he were released he said:
81 would go to my home
And return to the insurrectos?"
