NoTsTHE BLooDIEsT BATTLE.

The dispatches say that the official
report of the battle of Modder River
made to the Queen direct. announces it
as "the bloodiest battle of ,he CEN
fury" That IS not 81. When people
of this day talk of the loss of life and
of men wounded in battle, and are hor-
rified when a report comes that fifteen
or twenty men are killed IN fight and
thirty or forty wounded, they need to
turn back to the history of the war of
the rebellion and ascertain, If they did
not know it before, that in many a bat
tie between the gallant men of the
Union and the sturdy, fearless fighters
'of the Confederacy it was no uncommon
thing for hundreds and thousands to be
killed in single battle.
6 Now let us see what the history of
the century says about the ''bloodiest
battles" At Modder River the English
had $500 men and the Beers 5000, total
1880 men engaged. If the entire force
thus in battle had been killed, or
wounded so as to put the men out of
the fight, the casualties would have
fallen short Of those at Gettysburg by

fleeing from the Philippines, to see
their friend, Aguinaldo, flying before
the impetuous Americans, a. fugitive
without an army. Aguinaldo, who
sold out to Spain and would not stay
bought, will soon have nothing worth
selling. His state papers, his printing
press, worn badly by printing 80 many
lying proclamations, and even his
wife's wardrobe, have been captured
by the dashing Americans under
Wheaton and Macarthur. Aguinaldo
himself seems to know that discretion
is the better part of valor, and SO
keeps far in advance of his fleeing and
disorganized army. The willy leader OF
the insurgents is a great boaster; while
running away from Wheatons soldiers
he stops long enough to send out a
lying boast that he has killed and
wounded 10000 American soldiers ana
captured whole divisions OF our army.
Atkinson and his co-laborers should go
at once to Aguinaldo's aid. Their lit
erature has encouraged him; but now
that. he is routed and flying to the
mountains, his s'anti-imperialist
friends will have hard work to brace
up his dropping spirits-in fact, they
will have hard work to reach him with
their promises to overthrow the pres
men in office who will allow him to be
the military dictator of Luzon- Surely
Atkinson and his compeers in disloy-
atty must be sorely agitated at the
turn Aguinaldo's fortunes have taken.

A Very Fair Lie.

"a man I know named Hicks has on

discovered that the water was too

to cool the water. He started an ice
factory, and every morning now DUR
ing the summer he deposits ice in the
several pools. Well, sir, it would tickle
you to see those fish. When the ice
wagon arrives at the stream the driver
shouts Ice!'- and the fish come out
from the rocks. They get upon the ice
and carry on in perfect flutter of glee.

the fact is, the fish won't bite for any

nearly two-thirds. That battle lasted
three days, it is true, but the force en-
gagged was nearly ten times as great
as that at Modder River. The Confeder-
ates lost in the three days battle 5,OOo
killed and $4,000 wounded. On the IN
ion side 1884 were killed and 1918
were wounded. Total killed 1884, total
wounded 36.71S; total put out of the
fight 1854.
BY no means was the battle OF Moo
der River the bloodiest of the century.
At Solferino in 1859 the battle lasted
sixteen hours and the allies lost lS0OO
killed and wounded, or more than all
engaged at Modder River, and the Aus
trians lost 10000, besides 5000 prison
ers. At the battle of Borodino in lSl2
which lasted about nine hours the Rus
slams lost killed and wounded 52,OOU
men and the French 10000. At the
battle of Magenta, 1859, the Austrians
lost 9,713 killed, wounded and missing,
and the allies about 5000. At the bat
tie of Antietam, 1862, the Union forces,
under General Mcclellan, and the Con-
federates, under General Lee, lost IN
killed and wounded in the two days
battle p, 1859.
1t will be seen, therefore that the sbat-
tie of Modder River was not the blood
lest of the century. nor. anywhere near
it. It was not the bloodiest in the total
number of killed and wounded, nor in
the number of casualties relatively to
the whole number engaged. We sus-
pect that the words ''bloodiest of the
century, in the report of the battle
between the English and the Beers were
added by the bright young men" SEN

to do systematic lying, the greatest liar
being reckoned the most valuable

in these days-whom the yellow jour-
nails send abroad to indulge in adjec-
tival exaggeration.

The Ieeman and the Bear.

ZAP Speckman, the iceman, figured
in an adventure a week ago which has
been the talk of the neighborhood in
which he lives on East Walnut Hills.
and since the time the incident hap
pened Mr.. Speckman has been wont to
strut about with chesty air and look
very knowing when any one mentions
hunting adventures. On Chapel street,
near WOODBURY. avenue, resides fam
lily who are happy in the possession of
an enormous cinnamon bear which has
been raised from a cub. The bear oc-
cupies a steel cage in the barn, but is
often allowed the freedom of the back
yard, where it amuseS itself by rising
on it's hind legs and making faces at
the neighboring servant girls over the
back fences. One evening last week
Mr.. Speckman called at the mouse in
question to leave a block of ice in the
ice chest, which stands just ouIs.ue
OF the kitchen door. He had often heard
of the bear, but did not know that it
was sometimes allowed the freedom OF
the yard, and had never seen the ami
NAL. Picking up a fifty-pound block
of ice Speckman mounted the steps
leading to the residence and walked
around toward the rear. AS he was
approaching the ice box some one la-.l
a heavy hand on his shoulder, and,
thinking it was his helper, he said:
Quit your fooling, Sullivan, and grab
hold and help me carry the ice.''
Another hand was laid on his other
shoulder and an immense weight nearly
bore him down. Turning around, Speck
man beheld the muzzle Of the bear with
in an inch of his nose Bruin breathed
heavily, reached out both of his arms
toward the iceman and said:
"Wow!"
Speckman doesn't know how he did
lit himself, but the most truthful of the
neighbors state that he took a flying
leap over a six-foot board fence with a
fifty-pound block of ice in his right
hand and landed running.
Drive fer yer life, Sullivan." he
yelled. Drive fer yer life! I just met
a bear bigger than the one Uncle Har
ry Shafer killed on Vine-street hill in
1917, and he tried to steal my block
of icel" 10
And the worst part of the whole bust
ness, Speckman states, is the incred-
ulity Of his friends when he tells the
story. None Of them say much, but
simply feel his pulse and remark:
"Specky, why don't you change your

The idea advanced by certain sJensa-
tional and saffron hued papers that
General Wheeler is not heard from in
any great deeds in the Philippines, is
because he is suppressed by General
Otis at the instance Of the Admins
tration, which fears him as possible
Presidential candidate, is the silliest of
speculationS General Wheeler is not
suppressed. He is doing effective good
work in Luzon. He is primarily and
above all else a cavalry leader, and he
has been compelled to await the arrival
of horses. If we ship any more CAR
goes of the animals from Seattle, by
the way, we must expect to lose them
there is a hoodoo on horse shipment
from that port, evidently. But as to
General Wheeler, if the Administration
had wished to suppress him it would
not have given him a commission and
headed him for Manila in the first place.
If 1T feared him as a Presidential can
didate it would have laid out line
of duty for him that would have kept
him out of the field, such as inspector,
or something Of that sort General
Wheeler himself makes no complaint.
He has had no pitched battles with the
Tagalos, because, as he declares, the
fellows will not come out and fight, but
shoot from cover and then run. When
the sensational press is short of news
and yellow subjects, 1t invariably turns
against the President. He is large
target for the venom of the yellows.
and they never fail to improve the
slightest excuse for firing at it.
