TRUE BLUE"
and Will stand by the Old Flag
as Long as the Country
Needs US,n

That is what Elk Sheriff Captain j.
F.. McKelvsy writes the editor of the
Journal Press Of ST. Cloud. The
substance of the letter is:
sour regiment is now on the firing
line and we are seeing hard service. |
Skirmishes and battles are now an al |
most daily occurrence. The fighting |
is very severe on the boys on account
of the bad water and heat. The insur.
gents like to commence along about
midnight and then we drive them back
into the mountains and this gives us
long, hard marches. We are all tired
and sick of this country, although the
| boys are true blue and will stand by
the old flag as long as our country
needs us, no matter who we fight.
The food is fairly good. Ofcourse we
get tired of army rations, especially
the ancient ':noss-covered bareback,
the iron-bound bareback we don't like
so WE'LL Our regiment is guarding
short line of railroad. 1t is this that
the insurgents are trying 10 destroy
and which is giving us SO much trou-
ole. We have had great deal of sick
ness in the company. Sergeant
Kramer has been sick long time but
is steadily improving and will most
likely come home with the company
instead of being discharged. Cor.
poral Blood, Privates Cressie, Morri-
son, Zertler, Louis, Corp, LEM, Rich
ardson, and Corporal Capser of ST.
Joseph are all doing we'll and will be
fit for duty. Privates Neudahl and
Tyler will be sent home on sick leave.
Our wounded now number four, Pri.
Yates HUM, Fehr, Friedman and
Baker. HUM and Fehr are severe,
Fehr being shot three times, the others
slight, but very painful. All the
others but Fehr will surely live unless
a backset1 is encountered. We are
bothered great deal with smallpox

An original poem as recited by
Albert Hartley, agedl2:
The room is low, and none too wide,
A row of windows adorn each side;
Soiled and smoked are the boarded WALL,
Covered by marks of fingers small.
No press or hall for the motley wraps,
The jackets and shawls, the hats and caps;
Hung side by side in peaceful row,
From hooks that sometimes overflow
The lunch pals sit on the corner floor,
For the unwary foot to stumble DER;
And many longing. wiShful eye,
Is cast that way as the hours go by.
The crowded seats, the desks of wood,
Are somewhat marred by carving rude;
iJInitials of those who love to see
Their names where names should never be-
T he window panes are dim and blurred,
But the song of the birds outside are heard
For the trees grow close with many limb,
Where the frisky squirls peep out and in.
But limbs grow scarce as years go by,
From the handy rod that that the teachers
phys
But alas That the new ones grow apace
And we youngsters wear "a solemn face.
But dear old school we love you well,
| In spite of the rod that so oft befell;
For the ills Well forget, dear old l07,
| And forgive as we would be forgiven.

| Well keep it bright while life shall last,
Our only regret that so soon twas past

Short stories.

The Junior Journal of Minneapolis,
in its last Saturday edition, had two
stories from the Sank Centre little
people. on the assigned topic, as to
how playhouse should be built.
They are:
If were to have q playroom I
should prefer to have and to build it
myself, for then it would suit me. I
should cut down some trees and take
them them to the mill, then I could
buy some nails. I should have but
one door, and two windows. I should
have IN the room some good books, a
table, chair and some tools. When
winter came should pick up my tools
and put them into my chest, go out
and lock my house, for / should not
go out there again until spring.

WE HAVE received copy of the great speech
which was delivered by COL Hallum short time ago
in his own defense while trial in Texarkana Texas
for shooting by the name of Forbes for destroy
ing his home The speech is masterpiece and
should be perused wherever the English language is
read or the purity Of home is valued. Although the
whole county was prejudced against him by bigoted
hypocrs, and no attorney had the hardihood to de-
fend him. his mastery argument for the protection
Of the home caused the jury to acquit him before
leaving their seats. The speech is in pamphlet form
and can be procured from the Sickle Publishing Co.,

The past year has been remarkable one for
strikes of more or less dangerous character. When
we view this question in all its aspects the
for this increase does not remain unsolved prob
lem One reason for these outbursts of lawlessness
is the Capitalization of wealth. This tremendous
massing of riches has forced thousands from lu-
crative positions without causing a corresponding
expenditure reduction of the price of their COM
modify. It is thus easily to be that this re-
trenchment has ingendered feeling of bitterness
among the laboring classes, while it has only sue
ceeded in enrichng its promoters. Although strikes
have been quite numerous during the past eight
months it is predicted that this condition Of things
will cause momentous period of unrest and an in
crease of riots during the coming year. One need
not expect that these people engaging in these
enterprises for philanhropc purposes their health
neither is it to be expected that the laboring man
will rest contented and complacently submit to be
robbed of his toll If this is merely phase of evo-
luton that has been caused by natural events, it
looks CHASTITY unnatural.

the civilization of this century
has Witnessed 1t may have had it's prototype in the
Middle Ages or in that archdemon Philip II. Of
Spain and his Of conquest but not in this age
England will never give satisfactory reason
for her present attitude, for the simple that
her claims are mostly of an artificial composition.
AS preliminary movement she has let the know-
edge become known that her cause is one of human
iy and civilization, and while her dupes remain
ing Supplied, her mercenaries proceeding on
ward and are numbering these peaceful, unpreten-
tous burgers because they have the hardihood to
protect their homes and their institutions. She has
no more business the premises than burglar
has in entering persons home, and while it is
plainly apparent that her object in sending her
butchers to South Africa is for the purpose of gain
ing possession Of those rich mineral resources she
has succeeded in partially binding her opponents
by hypocritcal promises from interfering while she
is carrying on her 'holy mission.
England is the Malta among nations Of the nine
teenth century, In the building Of her vast empire
she has slaughtered millions Of innocent beings until
today the nations Of Europe tremble whenever her
flying squadrons leave their ports. At heart they
treacheous the panther of the jung is and
never hesiates to stoop to the very cutters Of the
slums in order to find language insulting and foul
enough that will cause their victim to withdraw from
position that is honorable.
Today England stands before the world stripped
of her hypocrisies and eering sanctmonous express
sion of assumed brotherly love, and is being con-
demned by the thinking people of the world as
murderer. If the verdict is sustained it certainly
will not be travesty upon justice, especially the
kind that has been exhibition for years in India
and is today being duplicated in the Transvaal.
So far the Beers have succeeded in checking
these buccaneers and have retarded the inevitable
absorption of the two republics unless relief is
speedily given them. While the Beers are fighting
for the noblest and highest achievement within the
reach Of mankind their independence foes are
being slaughtered for the sake of few pary dollars
her officers for promotion and worthless bit of
metal and those in power for territorial acquisition
and the plaudits of thankless and ungrateful
public.
The nations Of Europe realize that England de-
serves unmerciful chastising and secretly
oicing at her present difficulties in throttling the
vigorous Beers. We sincerely hope that the burgers
victorious, hope that foreign powers will in
terfere and forever compel this ed-handed Malta to
desist from such undertakings the present
