KANSAS GIRLS AT THE FRONT.
The Part They Have Borne in the
Trenches in the Philippines.

The Part They Have Borne in the
Trenches in the Philippines.
From the Kansas City Journal
When the deeds of courage and valor IN
the Philippines have become part Of Ia
miliar history one of its brightest pages
will be given to the wives and maldenS
who bore a part so nobly with the KAN
sas troops. They were present in the
trenches, ready with their bandages 10
give first aid to any stricken soldier and
about the hospitals their cheerful pres
ence and deft nursing gave comfort 10
many a wounded boy In the letters
written to home folk by the Kansas
wounded we find mentioned the names Oh
Mrs. Funston, wife of the colonel; Mr~
Schlieman, wife of the chaplain; MIS-
Buchan, wife of the Kansas City captain
Mrs. Whitman, wife of the junior MAJOR
and perhaps more frequently yet tns
names of Miss Bradner and Miss OlHS
O'Brien. Miss Bradner went from Kan
sas to India several years ago as ms
slonary. With the breaking out Of the
Spanish war she proceeded to Hong kons'
and then, after Manila had fallen, to tne
Philippine capital. where she at once W.
stalled herself as a nurse in the Twenueln
Kansas. She kept at the front with ths
boys all through the late campaign ans
applied the first relief to all the woundel
that came within her reach. 1t is relat.
ed by one Kansas boy that during one
the fierce engagements this young woman
sat by his side in the trenches, cooly pass
ing cartridges to him as fast as he coud
fire.
Miss Ollie O'Brien is a Topeka girl, whd
went to Manila last summer on pleasure
bent. She accompanied Mrs. Stutensours
wife of a regular army officer who is now
serving with the volunteers from Neoras'
ka. When the wounded commenced
come from the front she volunteered to 60
into the hospital as a nurse, and she na'
