Long-and not until he saw it was

Roosevelt has reputation for hon

subsequent white washing OF the

Ensign A. c. Merrick.

MIR. A. G. Mcrrick received this week
solid silver badge, appropriately in
scrihcd, which calls to mind the military
service he saw during the Fcnian Raid
in 1866. He was then citizen of Can.
ada and owed allegiance to the British
flag. When the Fonian Raid broke out
he enlisted among her Majesty's volun-
tccr forces from Canada and held the
rank of Ensign. The British Govern
mcnt has struck off thousands Of these
badges, and sent thcm to all tho sur
viving soldiers as souvenirs. "Ensign
a. q. Merrick" highly prizes this token
OF appreciation Of services rendered his
even though he has long since thrown
of allegiance to the British crown, and
become full-tedgcd citizen Of free
America. But as he is not now fighting
the Filipinos it may be inferred that he
would not bc fighting the Beers, were
he once more Il citizen of Her Majcsty's
realm.
