BRAVE BOYS.
Freedom, a Manila Paper, Has Good
Words for the North Da-
kotans.

According to Freedom, the official
organ Of the Eighth army corps, pub
lished at Manila, the city is again fast
assuming it's normal state and business
1s rapidly picking up. Freedom is a
progressive paper and it's bright news
columns and well written editorial
page show that American newspaper
men r occupying it's editorial chairs,
but from the looks Of it's makeup and
typographical appearance, Filipinos
must be employed as proof readers and
compositors.
Freedom says Of the North Dakotans:
'The First North Dakota regiment is
one of those Of which little is heard in
the columns Of the Manila press, but
is and has been doing really grand
work all along.
"The boys do not appear to be great
at one thing, that is blowing their own
trumpets, and for that very reason
Freedom does not hear from them as
often as it would like, and the boys
may feel that they are somewhat left
out in the cold. When the present
rumpus with the insurrecttos started,
on Feb. 4, the North Dakota boys were
in the line Of advance, and right nan
fully and well they did their work.
On the 9th they occupied some trenches
and Companies I and X We're sent out
to reconnoitre.
"They returned that evening and re-
ported having seen some three or four
in great haste.
ION the 9Th Sergeant Lou Hanlan.
Of Company X, asked Captain Aud
for permission to 60 out IN a scouting
expedition. Captain Aud got the
necessary authorization from the col
onel and the gallant sergeant went
forth. He took the captains horse
and a revolver and proceeded away
from the lines and across the stone
bridge for some three miles, when, 10
and behold, he dropped across a muz-
zle loading cannon, of about three
inch bore, which the insurgents had
apparently left behind in their retreat.
He got off his pony and examined
the Weapon and then made up his mini
to haul it back to camp. Suddenly
he became aware Of the presence Of a
number of FilipinOs-abOut $50 or 200
who were sneaking around so as to
cut off his retreat. He accordingly
Jumped off his horse and made a bold
dash for the beach. AS he did so M
insurgent in uniform rose up from the
ground as if by magic, leveling a
Mauser rifle at him and firing it no less
than five times. The sergeant was
going at a swinging canter, but he lei
drive six shots from his revolver and
the last one took effect bowling the
~insurrecto owe like a buck rabbit and
leaving the sergeant free to pursue his
way back to his regiment in peace"

it is not so bad on that score. OF
course, out in the trenches we cannot
use them and then it is a continual
fight with mosquitoes, ants, etc. 1t is
awfully hot now, and getting worse
every day.
He says he is getting gray and is
troubled somewhat with rheumatism
but he is not going to complain. He
saws the boys might have it much
harder.
Regarding the natives he writes: 1
think the niggers will be sorry they
ever started to fight. We have them
cornered up in two places, and when
we have men enough some OF them
will go and flank them. l don't think
they will be given any quarter at all.
They fire on our Red Cross people, and
when they find one of our mel woun-
ded they cut his throat; that is not
civilized warfare, and l think they will
be fixed in good shape.
He thinks the government has a big
lob on it's hands but guesses it will he
able to manage it. The president is
all right. He has shown what he can
do since this war begun 1t was a wise
idea to send a commission here but
1 don't think itw i'll be much use now
as we shall keep the islands and run
them to suit ourselves. II the insur-
gents had waited till they arrived they
might have had a pretty good thing.
Gen. Otis is q fine man and did well
to defer hostilities so long. l say keep
all the possessions we have gained In
this war though we would have been
better off without these, but now we
have them, keep them. l don't think
the natives will ever be competent to
govern themselves; they are very ignor-
ant. McKinley's address was posted
around town, and if the natives had
good sense they would see it is for
their own good, but they say they will
kill every American soldier on the
islands. They were taking a bigger
contract than they %bargained for. as
they have found out to their sorrow.
1t seems impossible to find out how
many of them have been killed, but it
is a large number and there will be a
lot more if they don't come in and quit
and lay down their arms. y priest
was leading a band of them the other
day. and just to show YOU what the
American soldiers think Of them. when
he was found after the fight, he had
% bullet holes in him."

It is interesting and instructive to
read bright and well constructed adj
vertisements. Messrs. c.. I. Hood &
Co.. Of Sarsaparilla fame, must have
been at a great feast and taken every
thing home with them. They are
using a bright selection Of quaint old
sayings and proverbs as the starters
in 4 series of advertisements. wherein
the proverbs are neatly turned and par.
agraphed to fit the subject matter.
The public like this breezy advertising,
as it reminds it of other proverbs and
opens up discussion.
