To a Chicago clergyman, Gen. Shafter
writes defending himself from the charge
of Gen. Sherwood that he was never on
the firing line in the Santiago campaign.
He says: II was under fire the entire
time" Shafter ls doubtless correct in
his assertion. Any one OF the long range
cannon of the enemy might have reached
his headquarters, five miles in the rear
il it had known where to find him. We
know at least, the fire he was exposed to
was so hot that he had to keep a chunk
of ice on his head all the time to put it
out. Shafter in his hammock, surround
ed by squirting syphons. indeed presents
an ideal picture of the carnage Of battle

Don't be whining about not having a
fair chance. Throw a sensible man out
of a window, he'll fall on his feet and ask
the nearest way to his work. The more
you have to begin with the less you will
have in the end. Money you earn your
self is much brighter than any you can
get out Of dead mems bags. A scant
breakfast in the morning Of life whets
the appetite for feast later in the day
He who has tasted sour apple will have
the more relish for sweet one. Your
present wants will make prosperity all
the sweeter. As for the place you are
in, don't find fault with that; you need
not be horse because you we're born in
a stable.-W Whiting, Kansas, Journal.

preached the authorities with $1,000 in
