The Fighting Ninth


siastic admiration of every European
officer.
On July 10, 1900, the Ninth dstin-
guished itself at the battle of Tein-
Tsin. At one stage of the attack on
the city 1t became necessary to land
troops inside of mud wall. To reach
this wall the men were obliged to pass
through gateway. on which was con-
centrated the fire of 5000 rifles. Brave
Col. Liscum gave the order to advance
and the allied forces were dazed at the
manuevers of the men of the Ninth.
Across the field flashed the long line
of blue on a double-qulck, the officers
laconically repeating the. march order
Of step, step. as though the men were
on dress parade. The regiment made
the gate, passed through and deployed
along the walls about the city. They
were subjected, besides the fire from
the loopholes in the walls of the city.
to a fierce fire from line of fortified
houses on their flank. The Ninth.

to capture the houses and then flank
the fire from the city walls. 'Coolly

the line, guiding his men.

begged his officers, but the veteran
smiled and shook his head. Just before
the next advance the brave officer
pitched forward, MORALLY wounded.

his last injunction. 1t was at noon that
their colonel fell and until nightfall

Waking Him Up-The Domestic Man n
Passing Ideal-A Wholesome Realiza-
tlon of Personal shortcomings
of the Modes Cooking Lessons.
THE DOMESTIC MAN.

Provincial society invariably sets
great store by the domestic man, he
being regarded as the ideal husband
and father. Pressed to define the
special virtues Of their paragon, his
admirers usually find nothing more to
say in his behalf than that he is not
dissipated; observation of the domestic
man also fails to discover that he is
any other In the majority of instances
than negative quantity. His own
ease and comfort are what engage his
attention, he, as bread winner, being
conceded the lions share of whatever
there is to be had in the home of
quiet, or rest, or convenience, or un-
disturbed enjoyment of such mild di
version as reading the evening paper.
The usual variety of domestic man
concerns himself no more with con-
tributing to the entertainment of the
home than II he were stranger. To
be sure, at intervals he accompanies
his wife to church sociables or goes
along with her somewhat unwillingly
to call upon acquaintance, but he at
no time feels it incumbent upon him
to become the instigator and prime
executive of amusements in the home;
nor do the exertions of domestic life
appeal to him as a duty he should
share, in the evening with his wife and
the other members of the family. His
position. which Is acquiesced in by the
members of the household, is that his
efforts at breadwinhing outside earn
for him exemptions from the labors
and self-denials of the home. He is,
therefore, as rule, merely negative
quantity, unless he happens to be a
person Of Feasibility, when, to be sure,
he is positive nuisance.
1t is interesting to note how in mod
ern progressive communities the ten
dency is to persuade men against too
exclusive domesticity. Outside of So
cial clubs, which have existed for
long time, there are now civic asso-
Citations. university extension lectures.
peoples clubs and Institutes. and the
entertainments and fix
ed recreations offered by some of the
most progressive of the modern
churches. The effort in all these is to
bring the individual man in to proper
common benefit; to stimulate him to

LABOR'S PARADISE.

| That's What Tourist Calls the Unite ,
| States.
THE United States is paradise for
the workingman," says an American
who has just returned from a five
months trip to Europe. Nowhere in
the world is he paid so much for labor
as In this country. The wages here for
farmers and workingmen in industrial
lines are fully 100 per cent higher than
in Europe.
1T is true that in some respects liv-
ing is cheaper in Europe than here.
Rents are cheaper, but the real necessi-
ties Of life are higher; meat and bread
are fully so per cent higher The work.
ing people in European countries just
drift; they do not live as Americans
do. When they have meat once a week
they are satisfied
There are plenty of labor unions in
Germany, Austria, Hungary and other
countries, but there are comparatively
few strikes. There is more labor than
demand and the people are glad to get
work at any price. Just now thsre is
noticeable industrial depression; this
is much felt in England on account Of
the war. 1t is the climax of period of
expansion. Industrial stocks have gone
down materially, and it is felt every
where, 1t is just the opposite of con-
ditiens in this country at the present
time; our people are all prosperous
and making good wages.
Another thing which struck me
forcibly is the small salary paid to the
rank and file Of the German army
More than 100000 soldiers there, l am
told, get a little less than cents a
day, and out of this they have to pay
for their shoe backing and few 9th
little things. In Austria they get even
less-a little more than cents a day
Comparing this scale of wages with
ours, it makes strong contrast, and il
would seem that we are. particularly

WORKED FOR SO CENTS A WEEK
James Oliver OF Chilled Plow Fame Is
Now Worth SI5,OOO,OOO.

James oliver, the largest pillow man.
ufacturer in the world and reputed to
be worth S15,0000OO, was once farm
er's chore boy working for so cents a
week. He is a Scotchman. His faith
er was shepherd. and had no faculty
for accumulating money The boy had
| practically no schooling. Mr.. Oliver
gives his mother and Sunday school
the credit for the education he re-
ceived when boy. At the age of II
he came to this country with one or
two other members of the family. On
a farm near Geneva, N. Y, he was CIV
en- work as a chore boy by farmer,

cents week. At the end of IL weeks
he had saved So, every cent CT which
he had to send to his mother, who was
in need. At the age of Is we find him
in LIE Grande county, Ind, and a little
later at Mishawaka, in the same state,
working on his fathers farm. Shortly
afterwards his father died, and he
again found employment as chore boy
at Sc a month. For four years he
worked at anything he could find, pick
ing up what little book knowledge he
could At the age of II he was work
ing in gristmill at Mishawaka, and
at about this time invested all he had
($75) in a house and lot. agreeing to
pay for it SITS. He says of this in
vestment: When | look back upon
it | feel that to it l owe, in good
measure, what success l have met with
during my life. for to lquidate the debt
l was forced to work hard and econ
omize continually" At the age of 81
he married and went to live in a little
slab house for which he paid $1S add
ing $11 for improvements. His wife
gathered together a number of rags,
borrowed loom and wove a rag car
pet, which he thought was the prettiest
thing he had ever seen. He lived three
months in this little slab house-the
happiest months of his life, he says.
Then he learned the holders trade
and accumulated little money. At
the age CT % we find him operating
little foundry Of his own at South
Bend. Ind, where he made plows.
After a great deal of i'll luck and close
study of the pillow business-for he was
trying all the time to perfect an i'm
plement that could be made cheaper
and work better than any plow then
made-he finally hit upon a chilling
process, and the Oliver chilled plow
now known the world over, went into
the market.

hundred years, ago. the career of che
Ninth has been full OF vicissitudes.
The regiment has engaged in many
notable conflicts, the first of which
were the battles of Lundy's Lane and
Niagara Falls in the war of 1912. Then
came long rest until the Mexican
War, then the Ninth again resumed
activities and played an important
part In the assault on Chapultepec,
and, after that, for years 1t tried to
subdue the Indians on the frontier.
In March. 1856, the Ninth started a
long campaign against the Indians.
During the campaign the regiment
made prisoners of 500 braves and sent
many more bad Indians to Join their
friends in the happy hunting grounds.
After five years hard service in Ore
gon and Washington the regiment was
ordered to San Francisco in the fall of
1861, to be sent from there east to do
its share in the Civil War;
Following the Civil War the regi-
ment was again engaged in frontier
warfare.

Massacres Which Shocked the World
When the Ninth returned from
China, covered with glory, it looked as
though 1t would enjoy well earned
rest at its station in 'thed Island of
Samar, in the Philippines OF course
the natives of that island were upruly
and treacherous, but they met the
Americans with smiles and good wish
es and the soldiers believed them
Then came the massacre. of Company
c, under command of Captain Council,
at Balangiga; Out of force of u
men, 45 were slain by the 400 bolo-
men, who were in the conspiracy. That
the men remained true to the tradi-
tons of their regiment was shown by
the fact that, though entirely unarmed,
they left 100 dead Filipinos on the
field. With Capt. Cornell persisted
Lieut.. Bumpus and Maj. Griswald, the
regimental surgeon.
Hardly had the feeling of horror
over the treachery and atrocity of the
Filipinos died away when our citizens
were again shocked by the attack on
Company E of the Ninth, at Gandara
There 46 men were attacked by 500
bolomen. In spite of it's numerical in
feriority, however, the company gave
good account Of itself. Ten Of its
men were killed and six wounded
while over 100 Filipinos were slain

history of the Ninth for the past three
years that the public is wondering just
what its next experience will be.

eight or fifty being counted for a dol

a steady advance until the Stars and
Stripes swept over FL Caney and San
tiago.
At Ell Caney the Ninth was in the
Third Brigade, under General Wikoff.
When the fighting commenced the
regiment was held back to clear the
Spaniards from the heights Of Ell Pczo.
This accomplished, the order to ad-
vance was given, and the Ninth, in
column Of tours, swung along mar
row road to the scene of battle. This
was one of the most trying moments
in the history Of the command. From
both sides of the road came Calling
fire from Spanish sharpshooters. But
the steady tramp, tramp never wav-
cred, save when the low order of an
officer caused a rank to open to pass
over the stalwart form of man in
blue who lay face forward in the dust
of the Cuban roadway. Not till the
order to charge came did those stern
bronzed men seem to awaken to life
to sweep like an avalanche over Ell
Caney. During the greater part of this
engagement, Lieut. Col. e. P. Ewers
was in command.
When Santiago had surrendered the
men OF the Ninth were obtaining a
breathing spell. They were placed in
charge of that city. Then came the
yellow fever, which decimated its
ranks and eventually caused the War
Department to order the regiment to
its home station in order that the men
might recuperate from the facilitating
effects of tropical campaign. The
rest was brief one, however, as the
regiment was soon ordered to the Phil
ippines, where it participated in the
campaigns against the rebellious Fill
pinos. Then came the trouble in China
and, of course, the Ninth was called
upon to proceed against the Boxers.
1t was in China that the Ninth
