gallant. At Calumpit I saw him dur
ing the action bandaging wounds on
the field as cool as if the bullets had not
been sweeping the field. He was al
ways good man in any place that duty
called him.
lido not mention these cases because
they are exceptional. Almost every
officer and man in the regiment has
done something to render him worthy
of special mention.
That the action of Rundell and Lar
rabee were not exceptional in the South
Dakota Regiment is testified to by
Major Surgeon F. J. Adams, brigade
surgeon Of the First Brigade, who re-
turned to the Zealandia. "The army,
he said, ''had no tropical experience
and did not allow for a large enough
sick rate. While campaigning the rate
ran up to 30 per cent, reducing the
effective force very seriously, and the
Generals could not understand it. They
were inclined to believe that the sick
reports were padded and that many OF
the men were shamming to escape the
arduous labor, fatigue and danger OF
duty at the front. Acting under in
struc,ions, made an investigation of
the South Dakota Regiment at San
Fernando during the latter part of June
just after the hard march from La
Iona. The temperature, pulse and
respiration of each man in the regiment
was taken, and out of 500 men on line |
found only. nine that were fit for duty.
Four other doctors assisted me in max
ing the examination, and the Generals
could hardly credit the report.

The LAST YEAR OF THE CENTURY.

Only twelve months remain in which
to set in order all the things that belong
to the expiring century, to the end OF
giving it decent. dismissal and to save
the coming century from the handicap
of an unfairly large burden of arrear-
age. There has been rather curious
misa apprehension in the minds of many
people as to the proper location of the
year upon which we are just entering;
and even in print there has been good
deal of allusion to the year now ending
as the closing one of the nineteenth
century. A half minutes clear think
ing is enough to remove all confusion.
With December 81 we complete the 1900
that is to say, we round out 80 OF the
100 years that are necessary to complete
full century. We must give the nine.
teenth century the 385 day that belong
to it's hundredth and final year before
we begin the year of the twentieth
century. For some reason the mathe
mrtical faculty usually works far more
keenly in monetary affairs than else
where; and none of the people who have
proposed to allow nine'y-nine years to
go for century would suppose that a
nineteen n-hundred-d dollar debt had been
fully met by a tender of 81, ,899. There
would remain due just one hundred
of Reviews. s.

stream II II doesn't hold up soon. Deal
the cards rapidly, Johnson
RAPID dealing was Johnson's long suit
There was a Jackpot, and one or two
failures TO open It made II sweet and
rich. This kept up until deal by the
colonel Johnson said that he would open
the jack for dollar and the colonel had
TO come IN at that price, even II he had
to draw another hand. When the bets
had been made johnson said he wanted
one card and when the colonel began TO
figure he found that he had the four. the
five. the six and the eight OF broken
suits. and a seven was needed TO make
the straight. He thought for moment
and remembered that he had lost a score
Of plantations as he thought. on dra wing
for inside streights, and he had always
sworn not to do II again. But something
prompted him. and like johnson, he took
one card. He determined 10 bet all he
had. seven or no seven, and all the men
I'm the room were lounging around and
tia guns looked bid for a poks. player
Johnson looked at his card without
changing his expression and then he bet
handful OF dollars. The colonel came
back at him and was met by another
raise. He met this with his last chips
which, by the way. were nails taken
from an old key In the corner and then
he looked at his fifth card. Sure enough
It was the seven of diamonds. The colonel
had filled his first inside straight
is my check good for a raiser he
asked.
AS good as the goid,' replied the will
ing Johnson. who was feeling safe behind
three big aces.
The colonel showed in a check which
was written on a blank paper, and the
call was made by Johnson. When Belotte
raked in the stack Johnson looked like
man who had been hit by trolley car,
the game went on. the luck changed and
In an hour more johnson had lost his last
dollar
[" Now, Just 10 show you that you were
not playing fair said the colonel. 4 am
going to return to these gentlemen all
that they lost. and you can go home the
best way You can. | don't want any cheat
to go on a lynching trip with me. Now
YOU get right out in the rain and burn

The deputy sheriff got up
But how about the lynching that was
prevented by the seven of diamonds %
anxiously asked a man across the table
'Oh, yes, why sure" said the deputy.
II almost forgot that. Well, you know
the rain kept the party back until Wat

But was McLoy lynchedg' anxiously
queried another.
Certainly not" replied the dans,tv
