At the eGd of the second year of the
war those CT US who staid at home
began realizing the meaning of war.

ance Immediately suggested that he
was in trouble. He had come in out of
a storm. His clothes were ragged and
a queer combination. His coat was
of the United States cavalry uniform.
His trousers, or what had been trou-
sers, looked like a diIapidated quilt.
His SLOUGH hat was in tatters and al
most hung upon his neck. He had but
one arm.
Quicker than it has taken me to
give you this description he had told
me that he was one of my boys. That
he was a spy sent by Gen. Sterling
Price, the confederate commander I'M
der whom he served. He had come to
me for few hours of rest and because
he wanted to see me.

had seen him and had heard him talk.
In the old school on the hill this
.'spy" was known as the gallant of
the crowd. He was our chevaIier.
At the time of his visit to me the fed
erals held the town. The hills COM
manding the place had been converted
into the military camp. It bristled
with guns which poked their hungry
mouths from bsstions.

The ..Narwick,, OF The Army.

Representative Hull of Iowa has e
ceived shocking insult in the Philip
pines. 1t Will be remembered that
Mr.. Hull went to the islands in the
spring at government expense to study
conditions there, and in spare mo-
mentS to look up the business of the
Philippine, Development and Lum-
Der company, of which he is president.
Possibly the authorities did not
fully appreciate the Importance of the
Iowa statesman. According to the
Manila Times only one ticket was
given him to the official tribunal at
the Inauguration of the civil governor
Space was limited and none of the
other distinguished guests received
more than single admission to this
part of the house. So Mr.. Hull'S
family was seated just outside the
circle of the elect. 1t was a grievous
&ffront.
OF course, Mr.. Hull could not en-
dure such a slight. He very properly
rebuked the naval officer in charge.
They put me down here among lot
of clerks, as if were nobody" he is
reported to have said. ''Do you
know who 1 am? am Congressman
Hull, chairman of the committee on
military affairs" The naval officer
made the feeble explanation that he
had been treated as well as the other
notable visitors, but that did not APP
pelse Mr.. Hull, who was now thorough
ly aroused. 81 have made lots of Off
GERS" he thundered, land 1 can I'M
make them. This is only in line with
the way I've been treated ever since 1
came to the Philippines. !" Doubtless
Mr.. Hull has since discovered that the
Naval department was to blame, and
he has probably licked it into shape
by this time. 1t would never do to
allow the navy to turn up its nose at
the Warwick of the army-the man
who makes and unmal1es officers.
1t may be observed, by the way,
that Mr.. Hull was near the truth
when he boosted of his power. One
of his sons served on staff duty as
a major during the war. Later he
was transferred to the judge advocate
generals department as lieutenant
colonel Of volunteers. When the
army reorganization bill was adopted
il was found to contain an unsuspect-
ed clause under which the congress-
mans son was made a major in the
same department in the regular ser

One of the officers in that fort was

One of the officers in that fort was
also one of my boys. And what q
handsome fellow he was. His enlist
ment in the union army, however, had
cost him the friendship of most OF
his schoolmates. It had cost hin
his sweetheart, a spirited southern
girl. RS
My boy who called upon me as a
"sPy" told me his mission. I begged
him to stop before he had said too
much, but / knew when he left that
he was going to the federal fort on the
hill, as a spy! did not tell him his old
clasmate was an officer there.
A few days later the confederate spy
was eaptdreds He had succeeded in
getting the informal ton he wanted,
and was leaving, when he was taken
as suspicious person. When he stood
before the commanding officer it was
known from papers found that the
prisoner was a spy.
One of the staff of the commanding
officer was there. He recognized his
old classmate, but not a word passed
between them. The spy was confined,
of course, and it was the talk of the
town, for this was the first incident of
the sort in our place. And the spy
was one of the old boys of the town
our chevalier.
My boy from the federal fort has
tened to see me to give me the par
ticulars- Of course my lips were
sealed touching the visit of the 'spy''
to me before the capture.
Again did I realize the meaning of
war!
The incident was soon relegated to
the events of yesterday by more i'm
portant ones at the front. Once, at
the invitation of my boy in blue, vis-
tied the one who belonged to the gray,
although his uniform did not SO indi-
cate, and who was held as a spy. I
messed with both.
After the spy had been a prisoner
for nearly six weeks my federal boy
came to see me one night hurriedly,
and told me in confidence that "the
chevaher" had escaped.
eff he comes here" said the federal
officer, you protect him until he can
get through our lines"

ton, the federal was off. heard the

ing of war!
The spy was never captured. After
the war was over he came back to
camp stricken, as many of them did.
One evening went to his old home
just out of town. The federal officer,
new an ex., was also there. The old
classmates had lived through the
storm of battle and met again. I was
the witness to the marriage of the

had held the spy" prisoner. Every

clear that the inconvenience as well
as the burdens of life pressed heavily

Novel Colonial Scheme.

It seems that France is about to re-
vert to the days of the seventeenth
century. Then England and Holland
imported manageable young women
to supply the demands of the colonists
in New York and Virginia. Now
France is about to do the same thing
Madagascar. The French republic
feels it's grasp on the African is slip
ping. Things must mend shortly or
the land of the frog eater will be
minus another of its possessions. So
the method of inducing veterans OF
the French army to settle in NADIA
gascar by importing wives for them
has been hit upon.
1t is planned to keep the mustered
out soldier there in order to prevent
the encroachmontS of the pushing
English. Many of them have already
settled in Madagascar, but they have
taken native women for wives. This
is not considered the most speedy way
of developing the island in the langu-
age, the manners, or the way of think
ing of the French. To help out the
soldier, who no doubt would be capti-
waited by the plainest of faces from
far away France, the French govern
ment is expected shortly to establish
recruiting bureaus for the matrimOn-
ial army. Every applicant must I'M
der go an examination. The govern
ment will be parent to her until
Sha finds a husband
There is every chance of success for
the new-old scheme of the French
government. Woman is the same to-
day as she was 300 years ago. There
is innate in all of them the desire for
a home and a husband. To be sure,
there are isolated cases where woman
seems to have leaped out of her sphere
and to have forgotten the instinct of
her sex. Carrie Nation is one of these
Susan B. Anthony, great woman
though she is, is another. Queen
Elizabeth, the greatest queen that
England. or the world, for that matter
ever knew, was still another-though
her choice doubtless grew from the
pride she felt in her Sobriquet of the
Virgin Queen"
But it is perversion of nature for
women to live alone, just as it is for
man. Hence in our own country the
ceaseless flow of women from east to
west. They go as teachers to the
frontiers-as teachers of the lesson
of love and marriage. Statistics show
that. The woman who goes into the
unsettled parts of the west as a school
teacher is marked woman from the
time she arrives. She must Succpmb
shortly or be a woman devoid of the
feeling of womanly pride in the no.
mage of strong men.
The French government is about to
engage in good work. Here's to it!
1t is certain to be as successful as the
experiments in the days of Pocahon-
taS and John Smith. AS for the
cruSty old bachelor-well, send him to

ment of prospective brides.-Kansas
