He never said thank you, but took off
his hat and drank out of the rim of

no man. Capt. Boughton is just the
opposite. He is always looking after
the welfare of his men, though he is a
terror on hike He burns everything
in sight. If he finds any empty shack
or if the women cannot give a good
account of where the men are, he puts
the torch to the shaclSs. B troop has

natives either. The other day we were
sent out to ambush the Insurgents
at a certain trail about 10 miles from
Badoc. 1t didn't take us long. We
passed through several barrios on
gallop. We also passed trail of rs
carraboaes loaded with rice, going to
market. The carraboaes broke away
from the Humbres and started across
rice paddy with the Humbres after
them. We have quite a number in the
hospital sick with the fever. have
noticed the men who are sick were
men who drank considerable in the

One went In back Of the ear and came
out Of his eye, one passed through his
knee, the other two were In his back.
He was crawling when the men came
up. He was carried In, and is doing
nicely. We expect him to live. He
is lying side of the American soldiers
in the hospital. These people are
hard to kill. The fellows say they
do not die, They only dry up and blow
away. This maii who was shot, hap
pened to be the fellow they. have been
after for over year.
Soldering in the Philippines is
much harder than in the States. A
fellow does not have much time to
himself, for he is generally on some
kind Of a hike, If not, he is OH guard.
If it wasn't for the excitement don't
know what the boys would do. GER
tainly enjoy it, but when you have to
sit in O saddle 10 or 1S hours ut
time without anything to eat that's
when the boys have a long face, al
though you never hear murmur from
them. 1t is almost impossible for a
fellow to take care Of himself on
these hikes. No matter how long you
are out, you always get wet, and as
the rivers are deep the horses have to
swim them. About the time you are
dry a cloud viii burst.
The trails are pony trails. We have
to lie ON top of our horses backs so as
to dodge the limbs and branches.
Where the trails are too steep, we
dismount and let them go through one
at a time. He either rolls or slides
down.
A horse is out Of luck here, though
he gets the best of care. We have a
lieutenant who don't believe in pushing
the horses too fast. When he is in
command we generally have to walk
a portion of the way, he says you can
yet man for $3.50, but horse costs
$3.50, so we will treat them according
iy." The same officer refused drink
out of tin cup. we had been hiking
over the mountains OH foot, following
the niggers, where it was impossible
to take our horses. We hadn't run
across any water for quite while.
One Of the men spied spring, and
there was a grand rush, rush that
would heat any foot ball team. We
all forgot we were tired Tor few
minutes, Sergt. McKeag had Il tin cup,
and offered Lieut. Hediken a drink.

But one more week of active work re-
mains of the gubernatorial campaign in
New Jersey, and it will doubtless be a
week of greater activity than any that
has preceded it. The closing up of the
lines will be undertaken, and the solid
alignment necessary to indicate in meas
ure what may be the result will take place
Canvasses have been quietly made in sew
eral of the large counties of the State, and
the result is such that the election of
Franklin Murphy is held to be certain
But the work of getting the vote out on
Tuesday next is by no means over. Much
depends upon the activity of the political
workers in preparing to secure the attend
ance of every legal voter at the polls.
Too many of the latter are given to pro-
crastination that leads to neglect. These
voters are pretty well known to the active
political workers in the respective election
precincts, and they are those that need to
be looked after and kept informed of their
duty.
New Jersey is not yet ready to join the
Bryan Democratic States. Her progress
and prosperity under Republican govern
ment have been SO well established and so
pleasantly enjoyed that the intelligent
voter will not consider for a moment the
proposition to change to such administra-
ton as the Democracy gave to the State
in the past. But the intelligent voter
must not suffer himself to neglect his
civic duty to maintain the present govern
ment if he hopes for continued prosperity
1t is the proper thing for every good citi-
zen wishing to perpetuate the happy con-
ditions politically to engage actively in
the work of the last week of the campaign.

RECENT occurrences in our court room
nave led many to inquire whether the
public is entitled to consideration and if
so to what extent. In the recent murder
trial there was laughter at one or two
points which moved the presiding judge
TO administer reproof and to suggest
that eff people were so idiotic as to laugh
on such an occasion they should be ex-
cluded from the room" The laughter
was caused by the reply of witness to a
question which had no possible bearing on
the case but the lawyer who asked it was
not reouked, the spectators were the only
offenders At another trial counsel asked
a question which was a direct reflection
on the honesty and truthfulness of the
witness. The latter resented this and
said he guessed he was as honest and
truthful as the majority of lawyers. The
court promptly rebuked the witness and
told him he must not attempt to be
smart and the lawyer smiled Still
another instance was that where the law
yer for the defence In a recent case,
being absolutely without evidence to sup
port his claims, spent the time in abuse
and ridicule of witnesses and when one of
them warned him to be careful the court
calmly remarked that counsel must not be
interrupted. This may be all right. 1t
may be correct and legal for lawyers to
ask questions which elicit mirth-creating
replies. 1t may be absolutely the thing for
members of the bar. even though of shady
reputation themselves, to denounce and

ANOTHER CHAPTER In the family affairs
of the Wills household was given to the
public last week in the trial Of Harrie
Allen Baxter, charged with assault with
intent to kill his father-in-law, Judge
Benajah p Wills. There are many who
thought there were two sides to this
question and that vigorous and wisely
conducted defence would place the accused
in different light, but the trial showed
that the matter had been too highly pic
tured and the verdict of guilty was the
only one that could have been brought in.
The jury remained out all night, coming
in with the result stated, together with
recommendation to the mercy of the
court. The jury knew they must con
vict the man as he stood charged, or
acquit him, and they were not ready to
say that Baxter was the only truthful man
on the witness stand and that the six wit
nesses for the state were the falsifers he
tried to make them. The recommends
ton to mercy probably came from the
feeling. shared by many, that while Bax-
ter had violated the law, he had been
drawn into the act rather than going in of
his own volition. The incidents attendant
upon his becoming a member of the Wills
family were excluded from the trial, and
nothing but the plain facts connected
with the assault were considered. But
the unpleasant features in this unfortu.
nate affair have been made so public that
there is little secrecy about them. That
Baxter is responsible for the breaking up of
what to all appearances was happy family
is beyond doubt True, the mother-in-
law, with devotion greatly at variance
with the opinion generally held of that
class of beings, has come out in print and
related the sorrows and harsh dealings of
nearly her entire married life, yet the fact
remains that they have been endured with
who is accountable for the publicity of the
troubles if he is not for their origin. There
are not few who, while satisfied that
Baxter has been righteously convicted
and should be punished according to his
crime, also feel regret that there is not
some measure of punishment for the wo-
men who are in reality responsible for the
position the criminal to-day occupies. He
stands in shadow of the state prison solely
as the result of being upheld by the two
women who appear to be absolutely under
a fascination that cannot be overcome.
That he is branded a criminal is bad
enough, but the sight of wife, after a
quarter of century of married life with
out word of complaint, suddenly turn
ing against husband, causing a daugh-
ter to reject and spurn the father whose
one fault has possibly been over-indul-
gence, influencing boy almost too young
to realize the attitude he has assumed to
despise parent, is painful spectacle.
There may be reason to accord to deluded
Harrie Baxter spark of sympathy, but
the other actors are entitled to moth !
ing but denunciation. The position of
Judge Willis, at the present time, is more I
snviable than that of the other members
Of this disrupted family.

All Doctors have tried to cure CA

cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and experienced

ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
