for this radical change, Bro.

Two YEARS ago this month the
Philippine war began. : 1t has
cost this republic a quarter ofs a
billion dollars, $500 lives and its
self respect to further the selfish

more men under arms in the Phil

than the republic had under

men than Scott had when he in

more men tffan Grant had at any

Of recruiting to do. so tell the boys if
they want to soldier it will be easy to
get in. This is an easy country to SOL
der in now. l think the fighting is
about over. unless something new
should spring up; it is all garrison duty
now. If a person can stand it to lay
around and do nothing he can soldier
here all right. We only answer roll
call, drill one hour a day and do guard
duty once a week; and they are not so
particular with the soldiers here as in
the States.
This regiment is holding 40 miles of
the North line, one company at each
post, and stationed about miles apart.
The worst feature about these islands
is the rainy season; from June to Sep
we are close to the mountains here, and
most of the water runs away; but it
makes the roads SO bad it is impossible
to travel, and the rations run short
sometimes. The boys say it is fright
on the South line. This regiment was
down there at one time, and the boys
tell me they have stood guard there all
night in water waist deep, SO you see
that would be anything but pleasant.
But we are on higher ground here and
it is not so bad, 1t Is ten miles to ;ht
foot hills. The mountains range to the
northeast of US; we are SO miles NORTH
of Manila and 80 from the coast. The
] weather is very hot in day time anc
quite chilly at night. This is a beau
tiful country around here. and an i'm
! mense lot of rice is raised; and beau
tiful cocoanut groves. The natives
grow sweetpotatoes and tomatoes anG
several other kinds of vegetables.
i We have brass band and they ar
splendid musicians. They have BIZ
balls and it would surprise you to SCI
them dance: they waltz mostly. Th
women are excellent dancers Thei
ball dresses are altogether diferen
/ from their every day dress. and the
look quite graceful on the floor. The
are very small race of people. Th
women become marriageable at the ag
of twelve years, and the men at four
teen. 1t is nothing to see a woma
20 years of age with a large family

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
A Barton County Boy Writes of His Sol
diering Experiences. :.

DEAR MoTHER:-I was glad to receive
your letter dated Dec. lst. and to hear
you were all well I have been feeling
pretty well since last wrote, with the
exception of few chills; this is bad
time of year here for chills. but big
dose of quinine overcomes that and I'm
all right again.
There has nothing of Importance
happened of late. Everything is quiet
in this section of the island; but down
on the south line there is considerable
fighting going on between the Insorrect
ors and Americans. Up here we are
troubled more with Ladrones. But
they are gradually getting wiped out.
We have thirteen here, captured in the
last two months, bus have only found
one gun so far. They go out at night
and rob and kill their own people, and
in. the day. time hide their guns and
come right into town, and you do not
know who they are, or who did the rob-
ing, as they all look alike. There have
been twelve hung since came here.
and there are that many more ready to
Ebe hung. Going to. a hanging here is
like going to picnic in the States.
They have adopted the ''water lure"
to obtain inform atlon from the captur-
ed Ladrones, 1t is done by holding
them. on their back, a stick is used to
hold the mouth open. and water is then
poured down their throats; sometimes
three or four cup fuils will make them
talk, and again they will take all the
water you give them. 1t has been car
ried So far here that>it took several
minutes hard work to revive them.

have two prisoners here who have had

Three squads of US went out the 9th
er night to get some guns that were hit
fbut could not fpd them. We got th'
boss of the place, and gave him th'

but he wouldn't tell US anything abou
them; so we brought him in aud gav'

ArLooD oP GOLD.

sIf the price of gold goes down,
another metal must be looked
for as token of international
value. I think this metal will be
silver, because silver is not found
in alluvial plains and because,
owing to the difficulty in mining,
it will never change in value"
/. This statement was made by
Prof. III. s. Shaler, Harvard's
geologist, in a lecture to six hum
dred students in Sanders theater,
Cambridge, Mass. He predicated
that Z within the next thirty
years there would be an influx of
gold such as the world has never
known. Prof. Shaler bases his
statement on geological condi-
tions, combined with recent i'm
proyements in mining appara-
tus. He said in part: "Within
the past few years men have
come to realize that a large por-
ton of the earth's surface is
charged with gold. Gold is in
dissoluble and when gravel banks
are cut away it is not easily car
ried off by streams to the sea as
is the case with other metals.
Instead, it is carried along,
broken up into finer and finer
fragments and gradually depos-
tied over alluvial plains.
''The new systems of mining
which have recently been discov-
cred will have produced by the
middle of the present century an
almost intolerable supply of
gold: I cannot say defnately
what the increase will be-. but /
think at the least that the pres
eht supply will be quadrupled.
On the continent of America
alone I have estimated that the
amount OF gold to be won from
gravel within the next hundred
years will be worth thirty billion
dollars.
Cup to the present time men
have been greatly Handicapped
in searching for gold by the fact
that it was scattered SO thinly
through the earth. They have
been able to find any amount OF
gravel paying from 10 to 30
cents to the cubic yard, but the
expense OF dredging has always
been SO great that they have
been unable to extract it. with
profit.
"Now however, the machinery
of the dredgers has been greatly
improved. Within the past three
years dredges have been opera
ted in Russia and in the United
States, especially in ;; ;Leadville,
Col, which have proved beyond
question that alluvial soil can
be profitably worked for gold.
"In the United States there are
from 5000 to 5000 square miles
which can be accurately depend
ed upon for producing gold
gold. Similar area in Russia
India, Africa and Australia will
food the market and if the
value of gold remains the same
the quantity will increase ten folo
by the middle Of the century,"

REMEMBER THE PENALTY.
RY J. A. EDGERTON.


-
We are n1ad-grown mad in the race for gold,
We are drunk with the wine of gain;
The truths our fathers proclaimed of old
We spurn with high disdain.
But while the conqueror's race we run,
- Our rulers should not forget
That the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God that is reigning yet.
Would we tread in the paths of tyrany,
Nor reckon the tyrants cost?
Who taketh another's liberty,
His freedom has also lost.
Would we win as the strong has ever won?
Make ready to pay the debt,
For the God that reigned over Babylon
Is the God that is reigning yet
The ruins of dynasties passed away
In eloquent silence lie;
i And the despots fate is the same today
:: That it was in the days gone by.
Against all wrong and injustice done
rigid account is set,
,. For the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God who is reigning yet.
The laws of RIGHT are eternal laws,
The judgments of truth are true;
My greed-blind master, bid you pause
- And look on the work you do
You bind with shackes your fellow man,
-: SYour hands with his blood are wet,
And the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God who is reigning yet.
