NIGHT Providers.

There was trouble on west Broad
way the other night-at least q whole
lot of good citizens we're hunting it.
A man was seen prowiing around
Elric Coles barn, and the neighbor-
hood was alarmed, and turned out in
force. About midnight some one
knocked at Vern Russells door and
said there were robbers about. Vern
jumped out of bed, and In his haste to
open an attack on the night prowler,
tried to pull on an overcoat for pair
of pants. This effort not being sat-
isfactory he put the coat on the way
it was made to go, and, with the tail
of his night shirt Tapping IN the wind
as fringe to the overcoat, and armed
to the teeth with a deadly weapon he
rushed to the Cole barn, supported in
the rear and Oh the TANKS by the
women-folk.
Before hoslitities opned, E. Mcbride
with double barrel shot gun and bet
ter half came as reinforcements from
the east, D.G.Gibbons, also supported
by feminine detachment of his force
es, moved over from across the street,
while Nick Smith, Grandpa Elliott,
Helm. Smith and households moved
in grand phalaux from the west and
southwest; and it seemed that no
dusky Filipino could possibly escape.
AS Major Russell, with Funston
promptness, charged the trenches of
the enemy dark form rose up before
him, having in its hands weapon
with glittering blade. A halt was
called, and Major Russell sang out:
"What are you doing here!'
Tending to my business" replied
the half seen enemy in dark, African
tone, what Yo' doing here?'
It was only Jim Rocks performing
his duty cleaning an clubhouse for
Judge Cole, and when this fact was
ascertained by the attacking forces. g

Fix the Responsibility.

The Philadelphia Prees, formerly
edited by Postmaster General Smith
and still ''inspired" by that official,
makes the frank admission that the
Court of Inquiry ''has abundantly
substantiated the changes of rotten
rations." The stuff furnished was
"unft for use" and dangerous to
health. The Press rightly says that
there is nothing further to do but to
establish individual and personal
responsibility. Justice requires this,
and nothing short ofjustice will sat
isfy a country whose troops have
been poisoned in the field"
The origin of such opinion makes
it notable. 1t is practically a con-
fession of General Miles entire charge.
0rhe administration is evidently
getting ready to surrender to public
sentiment and vindicate the soldiers
against the rascais who fed the coun-
try's defenders on food they could not
sell in the market. Now that this
is established, let the responsibility be
fixed. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
In the minds of the people the re-
sponsibility was long ago fixed upon
the administration which permitted
such things to be done and which has
