A VOICE FROM THE FRONT.
The Opinion of "A Soldier Who Is lat
tlinE for the Flag I'm the
Philippines.

There is published in Manila week
~ newspaper called Freedom, IAN
American newspaper for American SOL
diers." Ith existence is IA characteristic
token of American progress in the Phil
ippines. Whenever an American army
sets out on business errand its equip
ment includes printing presses and
spelling books, as well as guns and pro-
visions. Side by side with every adj
vance of the flag, il establishes schools
and newspapers, the educational forces
which are to defend the ground which
has been won by the valor of heroes in
the field. The Manila newspaper, fifty
named Freedom, sends back to America
message from the firing line which
shows how the Atkinsons, Altgelds,
Lentzes and their fellow disloyalists are
regarded by the fighting men at the
front. Take the following extract from
the leading article in recent number
of our esteemed Philippine contempt
rary:
1.-THE war in Luzon must go on; ii was
brought on by the overbearing natives,
and there is only one course under
heaven to pursue. The sovereignty of
the United States must be acknowl
edged in the archipelago before the
next step can be taken. Any other
course would be folly.

ter Donohue was unceremoniously pre-
cipitated into the street, while Billy
kept triumphantly on his way.
NIotorman Burns, on trolley car No.
35, saw Billy in his path and rang the
bell, but as the ear approached Billy
stood still and lowered his head ready
for the attack. The car stopped and the
goat became the aggressor. His attack
was only diverted by the interposition
of a switch iron. For considerable
time these operations were continued,
the two fencing splendidly, much TO the
amusement of the crowd, till, firing of
maneuvering, the motorman retreated
to his car and slowly started 1t toward
the goat. BILLY retreated as slowly, and
for block or two this procession was
kept up until an attack by the goats
owner distracted the goats attention.
Finding himself set upon on two sides,
he gave up the fight and allowed him
self to be led off home.

Car and Ties Up Traffic for
Some Time.

Whoever heard of plain, everyday
billygoat holding up a street car. Yet
this happened some time ago in Jersey
City. The occurrence attracted the at
tcntion of a great number of people,
and for half an hour they blocked all
traffic on Grove street while they
watched with interest the battle be-
tween the two. The way it came about
was this: The goat belonged to u
year-od boy, Donohue by name. In
the morning he had hitched Billy to n
wagon and was driving him about the
streets. In the exuberance of youth
he laid on the whip with too great stress
to speed the beast, and Billy resented it.
At first Billy had trouble in shaking Off
his tormentor but after brief, rapid
ride over cellar doors and stepping
stones the wagon failed to stand the
strain. Its wheels gave way, and Mas

Bennett, Sixth infantry, L. ;. a.
Arkichita, n typical Indian, was chief

for the purpose of subjugation or eman-
cipation." TO this the Massachusetts
republicans offered resolution which
pledged unwavering and unconditional
support to the national government in
its effort to suppress the rebellion. On
the issue thus joined $4,000 democrats
fell away from their party and the re-
publican candidate for governor was
elected by majority of 1926.
In Ohio in 1863 the democrats made
an issue of sedition by denouncing the
Lincoln administration for the arrest of
Nallandigham. On that issue, in the
largest vote ever polled in that state,
the republican candidate for governor
obtained n majority of ,095. In New
York in 1863 the democratic convention
protested against the arrest of Nallan-
digham, and recon mended n policy of
Cancellation and the suspension of hos
tilities. The democrats had all the ma
chinery of election in their hands, but
upon this issue Chtuncey NJ. Depew, re-
publican, was elected secretary of state
by majority of 29,405, whereas Gov.
Seymour, democrat, had been elect
ed in 1869 by a majority of 1O,74S.

Copper headism in 1863 SYSTEMATICALLY
offered sympathy for the rebels, derided
the president, opposed the war policy,
resisted the craft, described the union
soldiers ss ,andals and hirelings, and
intrigued with traitors in Canada who
were plotting to defeat American armies
in the fi6ul. Copperheadism in 1900 en-
courages the rebels in the Philippines,
vilifies thu president, rcpudiates the war
policy. eoSeavors to excite mutiny in
the army strives to prevent enlistments,
describes American soldiers as murder
ers, and lncites the traitors and pirates
In Hong Kong and Manila to destroy
Americas influence.
Not ore thing advocated by the cop
perheads of 1863 came to pass. Every
thing tl.at they opposed triumphed.
And yet they were stronger-ten times
stronger-than the copperheads OF this
day who seek TO make campaign on
EXACTLY similar issuos Chicago Inter

he could be as quick as flash, and
had, like every Indian on the north
western plains, pair of eyes that could
equal any fleld-glass.
His services--for he had been en-
ployed as n scout for some years-had
been very valuable to the government
and, in recognition of this fact, the
officer in command had secured au-
thority from the war department to
promote him to the rank of sergeant;
consequently he went around in n neat
uniform with chevrons and stripes,
very much impressed with his own inn
portance, which he considered second
only to that of the commanding officer;
and he took care that everyone else
also should respect his rank and dig
nifty.
As his native name is the Sioux for
"sol7isT," it is easily seen why he was
so named, but he had still another
name, which the Indians had given him
before his entering military circles, and
that, translated into English, was the
"grass-walker," or trailer" from his
absolutely marvellous ability to find the
trail of anything that left even the
slightest trace on the ground as it
passed over it.
a desperate soldier named Brice
broke Jail one night and was pursued
the following morning. The trail led
to the west for a trife over mile;
then it turned north for u quarter of n
mile, and we followed until we came
to tree at the edge of slough to
the northwest of the fort, called the
garden bar slough" Here Arkichita
pointed under the tree, and said Brice
had lain down there TO rest
The trail here led into the slough.
A Dakota slough" is a shallow lake,
the water of which is from six inches to
three feet deep, with soft, muddy bot
tom, but not generally miry. The CEN
ter of the slough is usually free from
grasses or weeds, but along the edges,
from 20 to 60 yards out, long tule-grass
grows.
This particular slough was mile
long, and varied from an eighth to a
quarter of mile in width, and there
was foot of water covering as much
soft mud. During the night the wind
had rolled the water up considerably.
1t seemed hardly possible to track any
thing through ii, except where the tule
had been broken down. Where that
was the case, even | could follow the
trail; on reaching open water, however,
the case was different.
The eastern end of the slough reached
to a point near the fort not more than
hundred and fifty yards from brick
yad, on which was n kiln that had
been built during the summer. The
kiln was now ready for firing.
Once / thought Arkichita was baf-
fed, after all; he had come to dead
standstill near the tule. Then an in
SEPARATION struck me; perhaps by cir
Gle Icould find the trail. Happy thought!
I put ii into immediate execution, and
found one. Rather elated at my success,
called: "Come quick; heap trail!" He
came over, took one look; just the sug-
gestion Of o smile played on his face as
he said: "Cow."

Teller didn't get much vaycation around
where the boys was. Howsomever, it
wasn't but few days till we all set
lots of store by him, spite of his nice
clothes, an his white hands, an his
voice, soft an delicate as n womans
Somehow we couldn't help but love that
little Teller, though guess we tried
hard enough to hate him, the Lord
forgive u.s."
Uncle Rastus paused and drew his
coat sleeve across his eyes, and his voice
trembed again when he resumed his
narrative.
He was such pretty, young-lookin'
Teller, black-haired an blue-eyed, an
there was somethin' about him don't
know what it was, but he could 60 in
amongst them boys when they was
havin' the highest kind of time, an
cool 'em down till they was like so
many innocent babies. If a Teller want
ed n head put on him, all he needed to
do was to say something agin the
preacher. Everybody liked him 'cept
Bill Larcom. Bill hated him from the
first, an one day he came tearin' into
the saloon an said THAT id little
white-fingered preachers been stealin'
bosses from the camp up the gulch.
One o the wimmn spotted him, an SEE
she'll swear to it," But with all his
snortin' Bill couldn't find n single man
to go with him TO where the preacher
stayed. So he said he'd go alone, an
he did. He came back pretty soon, and
said the preacher owned to bein' up
to the camp, but said he went to see
u sick man, an that the woman told
the story because she had grudge
agin him."
THE boys all laughed at Bill fer max
in sech row, an accussin' the preach
er, an of course it made him madden
than ever. lie jest tore out o. the
house, swearin' at the hull gang, an
the preacher in perticeler. We didn't
see nothin' of the preacher that night
nor the next day, but the woman who
kept the house said he was sick.
well, the next morning word came
that Frank Payson's old black Donald,
the finest boss in the state, was stole,
an woman what used to keep the
dance house over there, said she seen
the preacher sneakin' round Franks
stable bout ten o'clock at night. Still
the boys was all ready to fight fer the
preacher. They agreed though, that
some of 'em would go with Bill to the
house an talk it over. The woman met
'em an said the preacher wasn't there.
He'd gone somewhere up the gulch.
Course that was the worst thing that
could happen, an, worse yet, when the
news came, the boys was all drinkin'
hard, tryin' to drown their feelin's over
some hard luck in the mines.
well, young man, i can't tell We the
perticelers of the next day; jest can't.
But you know how tits when a Teller like
Bill Larcom gets the lead over crowd
of half drunk miners. They tore up
the gulch an found the preacher at a
house where there was sick man. He

There have been great many stories
about absent-minded men, and they are
always enjoyable. This concerns a man
named Rogers, who lived in small
town, and owned Jersey COW, which
he used to drive morning and evening
to and from the pasture, not far from
his home. One morning, as neighbor
was passing along the road, he met Mr..
Rogers walking in the middle of the
lane apparently engrossed in some
weighty question. The neighbor called
out: Good morning, Mr.. Rogers.
