Over Greene and Macarthur in the
capacity of division commander during
the attack on Manila was General T.
M. Anderson. who is now there at the
head of another division. Macarthur
leads the division which took Manila.
Anderson is also an old soldier and
fought calamity all through the war.

mission in the regular army.
Away by himself at Iloilo. General
Marcus P. Miller upholds the white
mans burden just where Aguinaldo
dared the Americans to land under pen
atty of his attacking Manila. Miller is
an old artillerist of the civil war and
appears to be a heavy gun in his present
position. The insurgents can't move
him. 1t is worth while to stop now and
ask how the country would like it if
this crisis had to be met with tyros at
the head of the army. That would be
the situation today but for the military
spirit born of the civil war and kept
alive in the breasts of citizen soldiers.
When it is remembered how the stand
ing army was reduced at the close of
the war. and the number of applicants.
it becomes clear that all who got there
and succeeded were born soldiers These
are the leaders at Manila.
The two Otises. now IL, the Philip
pines, are types of the born soldier. Ma
jor General Elwell S. Otis. the COM
mander, entered the regular army after
serving as volunteer three years. He
first began as captain and retired with
the brevet rank of brigadier general A
wound received in battle prevented Otis
from resuming the practice of law. as
it crippled his power of speech, and he
entered the regular army in 1866. AS
lieutenant colonel, colonel and brigadier
general, he served with credit ON the
plains and attained the position which
is the laudable ambition of every capable
soldier when he was sent to the Philip
pines as chief of an independent force.
And there is another Otis of the same
make up among the fighting generals OF
the Eighth corps. This is Harrison Grey
Otis, the soldier editor. who left the
volunteer service at the close of the
civil war after winning several promo
| tions for gallantry. In the Twenty.

Pupils of the Public Schools Invade the Realm
of Fiction. Two Christmas Stories.

Of the large number of original
Christmas stories written by the pupils
of the public schools last week The Re-
view takes pleasure in printing those of
John Neumann and Emma Hoffman,,
the two accorded the honor of appe ar
ing in The program OF Christmas cXer-
clses last FriGay afternoon.
THE MOST JOYFUL CHRISTMAS.
On November 23rd, 1898, a message
reached a small but neat home stating
that the father Of six children, the eldest
boy Of about Fifteen, had heen killed
in the battle IT Manila. The family was
very much grievcd. They were very
poor and since their father had left to
attend to his duty as a soldier money
had been sent but once. The mother did
some washing and baking for other pro
pie and in that way supported the child
rem and herself, but tie mother was now
sick most Of the time. Christmas came,
but in this home it was not prepared
for. The children hung up their Stock
ings and the mother put in each a hand
ktrchiet and some nuts which she had
gathered in the woods. They could
hardly 60 to sleep antlawoke very early
but were sadly disappointed when they
saw What was in their stockings, but
when they saw what was in them, they
were very much disappointed. They did
not let their disappointment he noticed
however, and tried to be gay. They had
been used TO a good Christmas with ma
ny gifts. They all seated themselves a.
round their scanty meal which consisted
of oat meal, white bread, goose lard and
coffee. Yet they enjoyed their break
fast and were chaltcrin" gaily when sud
denly ii rap was heard at the door.
anA there stood II man with an ole! cloak
pn and Il long beard. He lunked much
like Santa Claus. Ii" askcu for some
thing to eat, but instead Of answering,
their mother ran to him and kissed him.
Too much surprised to speak the child
they saw their mother embracing such a
ragged man.. Then he pulled off his
cloak and his beard, which was not a
real one, and who do you suppose it
was? It was their father! Quickly they
ran to him, each trying to be the closest.
The message was shown and it was
found to have been another man who
was killed. The father had Oh his uni
form and brought home much money
aud many relics from the islands and
so gave each of the children a present
but the best Christmas present of all
was their father. This was the most
joyful Christmas in the whole country.

of the deal on January 1st, the board of
directors will be increased by the addi-
ton CT at least three new members all
of whom will probably be from the

With the absorption of the New Ulm

Ma9ska on the east, the transfer of the
Jon lines having been made some time
ago.
The Review is informed by one Of the
leading members of the New Ulm com
pany that the consolidation will have no
effect upon the local exchange other
than to give increased efficiency to the
service, and that while heretofore their
toll line business has been transacted O.
YER two separate lines, the Northwestern
and the Southern, it will now be with
but one outside corporation and that the
f.trons will be materially benefited by
he consequent reduction Of expense.
There will be no change in the man

made in rates will ie simply for the pul

BENs CHRISTMAS DINNER

1t was growing dark. In he kitchen

children were waiting for their mother
who worked IN factory to support her
family. Polly, u gentle lassie with dark
hair and liquid brown eyes, was telling
the Others about Christmas and that
those who were not too poor would be
visited by Santa Claus and get beautiful
gifts and all the cookies and cake they
could eat.
.Oh, it's too bad we are poor,'' sighed
little Harold, looking wistfully at the
table, ssfor love cake
'sI fink Santa Tlaus is bad; he only
dives 'ictl people the nice tings,' pouted
little four year Nellie. II doesn't ike
Santa Tlaus.'
'.Hush, hush,' warned Polly, "what if
mother should hear you? No, no, we
can't afford. to pay Santa Claus to visit
have cake
'sOh yes,' cried Ben, who was just
three years polly's senior, ''you ought to
bake onei You can bake such lovely
cakes,' and he closed his eyes and
smacked his lips at the thought of that
dellcacv.
..Oh Ben, we cant afford to buy eggs
and butter in this city, where they cost
so much, said gentle Polly.
sOh yes, we can afford once,' re.
sponded Ben and he shook his head
and closed his mouth firmly.
The children listened in wonderment
