included in Mr. Nagle's conception of
character. 1t would not be difficult to
indicate some things that certainly We're
not included in it, His standard reject
ed absolutely the man who needlessly
3wounded the feelings of a child; the man
who allowed himself to use indicate
!, language in the presence of boy, or girl,
or woman; the man who shirked or
sevaded clear duty or responsibility be-
cause 10 meet it might cause him in
convenience OF loss, or might subject him
ITO danger; the man who betrayed n
trust a friend or a woman; the man
swho denied an obligation which rested
solely in parol, and to which there
! was no witness but himself and the
person who demanded performance;
the man whose word was not his
bond in any matter whatever in
(which it was pledged; the man who
smiled and extended his hand when you
were prosperous, and who looked the
[other way when he passed by in your day
.of adversely; the man who shouted for
| his party when he wanted and expected
| IAN Office, and who voted for the opposi-
stion when he didn't get it, the man who
made statements from the stump which
I he knew to be false, or which he did not
! know to be true, but which he hoped
would win votes whether true or false;
1 the man who had little or no regard for
rights of property, or whose counsels
Itended to incite lawlessness or to up
heavals of society which might endanger
!either its existence or its institutions;
the man who dared not face public
lclamor and obloquy, and financial loss
:. and political death, in defense Of his
political principles.
When measured by this test which he
himself applied to others, or by any test
that may reasonably be applied, it is
lfondly and confidently believed by those
3who knew him and loved him, and who
mourn him and will hold him in re-
{memberance while life lasts, that, in his
own phrase and in it's broadcast and full

to be reckoned with. 1t is no disparage-
|. ment of the influence of any of the able
! and worthy citizens of Manitowoc to say
Z that, at the time of his death, there was
perhaps no one who could more readily
s'and effectually unite her leading men
sfor or against public measure than Mr.
4 maggie could. The sorrow for his death
4 and the respect for his memory which
Il has been made manifest is proof suffi-
xcient that the city has a deep and abid-
fling affection for her dead SON
New burdens bring new duties, It's
: said. Burdens and duties We're placed
on Mr.. Maggie in late years to which he
Shad heretofore been a stranger and
(which ought to have been borne not by
sshim but by others. Nevertheless he met
those as he did every duty, manfully;
land for the happiness of those who We're
Einterested and who were dear to him, he
Moore the burdens cheerfully, tenderly
Band unostentatiously- just as those who

gssunshine and inspiration to young hearts
Ito whom his death has brought gloom
Eand sorrow, with anxiety for the future
'Sinto which they must enter without his
lscounsel and protection
The standard by which Mr.. Maggie
smeasured the true value of q man to the
Eworld was the standard of character. The
5highest encomium which he could bestow
Supon another was to say of him, he is a
oman of character. That, from his stand
tpoint, summarized it all
s. He highly esteemed sociability and
{good fellowship, and was himself good
sentertainer and most agreeable com
1panion. He was not insensible to the
aspell of eloquence, or to the ascendency
(Which the orator exercises over the
}minds of men by the moving power of
amasterly statement He saw clearly the
advantage to ones family, and the inn
3portance to society, of every mans ac-

Iduty of government to protect him in
5his property rights. OF humble birth
zhimse1f, he nevertheless understood that
Fin some men distinguished lineage some

Nnoble deeds. He was a student of men
Eand readily perceived and gave due
3credit for their best qualities. But
9neither good fellowship, nor wealth, nor
Hnor pride of birth, nor eloquence nor all
Ecombined, were enough to constitute
ycharacter according to Mr.. Nagles con
Xception of it; nor was any of them es-
ESSENTIAL to it, Indeed, he looked upon
Hthe man who was an orator, and chiefly

you will have taken it for granted
"Aggie" has got me, and will be mourn
ing departed hero, but am still on
earth and kicking; however the kick is
very feeble, as we are worn out with
long marches and short rations.
l think when l wrote you last l had
just been ordered TO break camp, take
all the men able to travel (on FOOT and
join the rest of the company. So the
next morning we started, took down all
the pup" tente, packed what was in
them on the inside and stored them
away for future USE At five the next
morning we started out with the oxen
train (called bull train for Lipa Leepa),
about thirty-five miles. Reached there
the next night at ten, after being at
tackled twice. You see the carts were
loaded with chow chow (provisions), and
as the insurgents are always short of
food, they generally tackle every provis-
ion train that comes along, but they
seldom get one, unless it happens to be
the Thirtieth regiment. and then it is
generally sure thing for them. That
outfit has done nothing since they have
been on the leland but lose wagon
trains.
To return to Lipa. as l said, We got
there all right, joined the rest OF the
company, and, the next morning. started
out with Major milford to take Santa
Cruz, stronghold of the enemy about
forty miles away. We were in lightest
marching order, carrying nothing We
did no. absolutely require. Very few OF
us had even a blanket, although some
were carried on pack ponies under the
saddle. l was lie OF the lucky ones.
We had three days rations in our hav-
ersacks and were supposed to do our
own cooking in the field. We passed
through this town and on the way out
OF it we had the warmest short battle
we have had on the island, and with
more men engaged on both sides. We
had one battalion of the Thirtieth. two
OF the Thirty seventh, two Of the Thir-
ty-ninth, three light cannons (about six
feet long, one cigarette gun little can
non, lools like toy, and three small
dynamite guns. which are the real stuff.
When one Of these shells explodes near a
native trench it is all off with the native
if he was there. The other side was es-
timated at about three thousand, with no
caunons. The battle lasted about two
hours and half. l do not know just
what the loss Was, but think we lost six
or eight killed, and quite a number
wounded. Our battalion, the Fret, did
hot get into it; we were held in reserve to
support the big guns, which were out Of
ringe OF the native small bullets. We
were not destined 10 shine until two
DAYS later at Ma-Hi Hi, where we made
a regular grandstand play and took the
strongest fortifcation We have run mp
against yet, without firing shot. After
the battle We continued our march as
though nothing had happened, and one
days march from Santa Cruz we re-
ceived Information that the enemy had
ch4aged its stronghold over to Ma-Hi-
Hi and were massed there in large num-
bers. So We changed our route the
next morning, and by neon we're 10 sight
Of the town. Tn, re was no question
about it, they we're stopgly entrenched

nasty fight, with no escape from heavy
loss on our side. General Schwan was
in command. He ordered Major Null
ford to take his battalion and recon-
noitre. The major marched US of to-
wards the rear OF the town for about a
mile. halted US, took a few men and
went out to look the ground over for
himself. He came back in about half
an hour, said ",ome on boys" led US to
the edge OF ravine about two hundred
and fifty feet deep. and as steep as the
side of house, took what lariates and
ropes he could find on officers horses
aud pack ponies and started down the
side OF the ravine, first himself. When
he could not get down by the aid Of
bamboo and brush, he tied his ropes and
lowered himself that way. The battal-
ion followed him, one man at time,
until the men were all down. Then
across q small river waist deep, hun
dred yards Of level ground. and up the
other side, just as steep. What climb
it wac! But every man got up. The
major formed the battalion into a
double skirmish line and started for the
breast works, march Of quarter Of
mile. We ran jam into them, but from
behind, where they had no protection at
all. We were all keyed up for stiff
fight. but the niggers were gone or going.
Our getting in behind them, thing
they thought absolutely impossible. SO
dazed and ratified them that they broke
and ran without even firing shot. So
while General Schwan was talking
about re endorsements Major Milford of
the Thirty-ninth climbed up on the
niggers' breast works and waved his
hat for him (the generaD to come on
into town.
The general Was surprised. The
Manila papers roasted General Schwan
and gave all the credit to Major Null
ford and the Thirty-ninth.
Since that day. until about a week
ago, we have been on the march all the
time, marching from ten to twenty miles
day, getting our own meals, coffee,
bacon or canned beef or salmon and
hard tack Sometimes we slept in The
houses Of deserted town and some
times on the ground in the open air.
But now We have been put here to
garrison this town and are fairly COM

cooks to get our meals. Every two or
three days company has to take ore

surrounding country, but l think our
