The Ohio is no longer the beautiful

in the barbaric splendor of an autumn

down to the stately flood, shimmering,
bending in her course with considerate
and majestic dignity, trip on one Of
the brightly painted steamboats, was
the event of lifetime. There was also
a dignity in the steamboats,. They did
not pant and rattle like q locomotive,

though pervading sound, blew huge
clouds of steam into the air. The river

The Ohio is a noble river yet, though
winding through forest denuded hills.

the Rhine in vineyards, but the grapes

was staying with her sister, Mrs. EG
wards. She had not been there long
before everybody knew Miss Mary
Todd. She often said: when a girl,

in the country, but since became

my mind. l have concluded now to

had never seen him before she met
him on the street She was told who
he was and went home, and told her
sister she had seen her man, 1.-The ugli-

Balch, Fourth cavalry, won medal by
a single good shot. Balch, some dis
lance ahead, led detachment march
ing through the streets of village. |
He was fired upon by squad of Fill
pinos WIN We're coming down side
street. The sergeant halted and, tax
ing good aim, shot the leader of the
squad, and the rest fed from this sin
gle American, leaving the road clear.
In the Philippines the scouts have
had opportunities to distinguish them |
selves, because the warfare has been
of the irregular kind where knowledge
of the enemy could be gained only by
stealth The band led by w. FL. Young,
who was mortally wounded in action,
often displayed the highest valor in
fighting as well as cleverness on the
scout. All the scouts with Young at
the time he received his death wound
have been awarded medals, an unusual
thing, but the deed was in every way
heroic for all engaged. The scouts
We're part of IA large detachment which
went out to reconnoiter around San
Miguel. Being in the advance, they
were fired upon by party of Filipinos
hidden behind rice bikes. Instantly
Young and II of his men charged the
position and routed the enemy before
the supporting infantry came within
range.
Young was himself Of the intrepid
mold so often found on the plains in
the days of the Indian troubles. One
day he was ordered to bring in ma
tive from the enemy's lines, SO that he
might be pumped for information. He
started out and soon returned without
his man, but with evidence that he had
incidentally saved the advance guard
of Americans from ambush. He had
run upon an outpost of eight Filipinos,
had killed one and put the others to
flight. AS trophies he brought i'll the
bloody rifle and haversack of the dead
Filipino.
\ Another case where several men were
conspicuous in one act Of gallantry
was in saving the wounded in an &C
ton near Manila. The ambulance
corps, with a few armed men, was car
rying the wounded in filters across an
open ricefield, $50 yards. Some treach-
erous Filipinos saw their chance and
opened fire upon the stretcher bearers.
Eight of the armed men went to the
! front under fire and, lying down, kept
the Filipinos at arms length until the
Il wounded had been carried out of dan
ger.
