Hanson was on his way to Oregon,
and he explained to the police that

when I've arrived it was found that

Altgeld suggested in his
speech that his hearers write to
their congressman for copies of
the Congressional Record of
Jan. 8, 1000, as it contained GER
tain reports about the Philip
pines from which he had read.
That issue of the Record is a
very interesting one, as it con-
tains Senator Beveridge's
speech on the question of retain
ing the Philippine islands. A
request to Congressman Morris
will secure copies of the Record
sof Jan. 8, and it contains much
valuable information.

That Bryan retains his
! leadership" of the Democratic
party is sometimes referred to
as remarkable, and often sur
prise is expressed that no
other party leader arises as a
candidate for president. But
what has happened in the last
few years to make any ,: r
Democratprominentas a leader?
It is not yet practical to select a
Democratic leader from the
South, and the people in the
other parts of the country have
generally refused to do the
Following" that is necessary to
create leader. Since the
Bryan campaign began in 1896
nearly every Democrat who ran
for an important Office in the
North has been defeated. Van
Wyck, who ran for governor of
New York, would have been in
the presidential class if he had
defeated Roosevelt. If Mclean
had won a handsome victory in
Ohio he would have been ma
tional leader. Other Demo
Gratis have made fights during
recent campaigns, but all have
been defeated--so Bryan stands
without a rival. The fact that
he was the acknowledged leader
in 1896 leaves him in that posi-
ton still, Notwithstanding his
overwhelming defeat in 1896;
and he will continue to be a
leader until some other Demo-
crat can demonstrate some
strength before the people. Of
course there are other Demo-
Gratis who now attract much
public attention, and have
gained some political success.
There is senator Cha rk of Mon
tana, who carried the Montana
Legislature. Brigham Roberts,
the congressman from Utah,
made successful political fight
and is now attracting much at
tention. Goebel, of Kentucky,
made an energetic campaign for
governor, and although defeat
ed by the people, he is conduct
ing a contest before the Demo
cratic legislature with fair
chance of success. With these
shining exceptions there are
few Democrats who have politi-
cal records that would possibly
make them rivals of BRYAN.

Two young fellows once entered a
Western train and took seats. They
were unaccustomed to railway travel
and were constantly on the watch for
some accident. Every few minutes
they would go and raise the window
and look out. Presently as the train
came around a curve, one Of them saw
a fence which he seemed to suppose
crossed the track. Jerking his head
in, be exclaimed, loud enough to be
heard by every one in the car, "hold
on tight, Bill, she's going to jump a
fence !"

Prisoners Of War.

by captor to captive?
It is clearly laid down by all au-
thorities on military law that consid-
Grafton is always to be shown the
honorable enemy in the painful posi-
ton of prisoner. He is to be well fed,
well sheltered-if he is wounded care
is to be given him, second only to the
care accorded the captor's own wound
ed.
The prisoners in besieged town
must take their chance of suffering
under the enemy's attack, although
their captors are expected to take ev-
cry caution to protect them as far as
possible.
Only sufficient restraint should be
placed on prisoners of war to prevent
them taking further part in the fight
ing. In order that they may be safe
ly guarded with the least trouble it
may be necessary to keep the prison.
ers in jails or to narrowly conhne
them in other ways, such as placing
them, as the British have placed Boer
prisoners, on prison ships, from which
they are not likely to escape.
Prisoners cannot be compelled to
assist in military operations. There
are many other ways, however, in
which they may be employed legiti-
mstely, and any money they earn by
work is placed to their credit after
their board has been deducted. One
of the regulations laid down for the
Boer prisoners on the Penelope was
to the effect that they must keep their
own quarters clean-scrub the decks,
make their own beds, and, in fact, do
the duties always required on ship
board from seamen and troops. In
this case no other work of any kind
was required from them.
Since prisoners of war come under
the military law of their captors, if
they refuse to obey orders they are
liable to be punished for their breach
of discipline.
According to the customs Of war, a
prisoner may give as much false in
formation as he pleases and yet can
not be punished-he may refuse to
give any information with regard to
his own forces and still he must not
be ill-treated. The torture Of Prls-
oners is barbarism.
A prisoner of war may always at
tempt to escape, provided that he has
not pledged himself not to do SO.
When he dashes for liberty he may
be killed in any way-indeed, it IS
impressed upon men guarding prison
ers that they are to shoot as soon as
flight is detected. 1t is no crime to
attempt an escape. If the prisoner is
retaken he is not to be punished, but
only to be better secured IN the future.
Self-security is the first law Of the
conqueror-any means Justify this end.
A general rising Of prisoners may be
punished with wholesale execution and
no ofense committed against the rules
of war.

sI.o0 A YEAR.
Baby Ran The Locomotive.

Il can run an engine like papa,
said little 9-year-old Fred Evans as
he was lifted down from the locomo-
tive of the St. Johns motor line yes.
terday at Albina. He had mounted
the engine at ST. Johns, pulled open
the throttle and remained on the seat
alone Oh mad ride of seven miles.
The young engineer is the son of W.
B. Evans, of st. Johns, an engineer
on the motor line. He had often been
on the engine, aud his father had eX-
planned to him how the lever is pulled
and the wheels started moving.
The engine lies over an hour at st.
Johns, Just by the water tank, and
during this time yesterday, while Mr..
Evans was at home at lunch, little
Fred walked down to the engine,
mounted the seat and opened the
throttle wide. The machine was full
of coal and water, and was ready for
the road. Several persons saw the
boy start, but no one was near enough
to catch the engine. The news ut
once was told to Mr. Evans, and he
reached the track just in time to see
the locomotive, with his boy on board,
disappear around curve. The
father was wild with grief and feaI,
and the boy 5 mother was almost pros
trated.
The news spread like wild fire, and
the whole town turned out. Excite.
ment was intense, women and chil-
dren cried and men offered suggest
ions. Master Mechanic Michael +.
Brady was at the end of the line and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line. Portsmouth and PEN
insular were notified, and men at these
points tried to board the engine as 1t
dashed by, but its speed was too great
Mr.. Brady also notified the office 1T
Albina, and a party of men ran ont
the line northward to meet the Wild
engine In coming up the long grade
toward Albina, the steam had died
down a little, but the register still
showed 50 pounds. John Woods, a
motorman on the City and Suburban
Railway, was the first man to meet
the engine. He caught the hand rail
and swung up, but in doing SO he
was dragged sixty or seventy-fve feet.
He at once turned oil the steam, aud
the engine slowed down and stopped.
1t was then young Fred made the re-
mark concerning his ability as an en-
gine driver.
The boy was not scared at all, but
seemed rather proud Of his feat. When
the engine first dashed out Of ST.
Johns he was frightened, and as he
came through Portsmouth like shot
out Of a gun be was yelling Justify
for mamma After coming several
miles, however, be again became brave
and held his position on the seat with
composure, with his hands on the
lever, like a veteran.
The engine was stopped in front Of
the home Of DR.. Davis, on CONNER
cial street, and was quietly run back
to St. Johns by Mr.. Woods, with the
boy Fred still on board. Mr.. Woods
said his success in boarding the en-
CINE was a surprise to him, as
well as every one else, as it's speed
was still considerable. The engine
had made the run from ST. Johns 10
Albina in less than half an hour.
In the meantime the news Of the
rescue had been sent by telephone 10
the frightened parents, and for the re-
mainder Of the day there was great
Joy in all st. Morning ore

There is nothing that brings Us dTearier pain
Than the thought. I'VE have lived, We living in

We need each and all. to be needed.
To feel We have something TO give
Toward soothing the moan Of earths hunger;
And We know that then only We live
When we feed one another as We have been fed
From the hand that gives body and spirittheir bread
Our lives they are we'll worth the living
When we lose our small selves in the whole.
And feel the strong surses Of being
Throb through US. one heart and one soul
