WEEPING WOMEN AWAIT
THEIR DEAD.
Crowds Gather at San Francisco
Wharves to Meet Return
ing Soldier Boys.

Edward H. Hamilton is one Of
the best writers ION the Ameri-
can press, but lie never did a
better piece work than when he
told the following story of the
sights of horror at the Preside
wharf upon the return of the
transport Sherman from the
war in the Philippines:
Yesterday San Francisco
reaped some Of the fruits Of i'm,
perlalism. Those fruits were
unloaded at the Preside wharf
and taken to the Preside hos
pital. They were the wrecks
and rawlings of American
youth back from the swamps
and fens, the ambushes and on.

But business is better down

"These men had gone out
fresh of face, strong OF limb,
Cheered by thousands, smiled on
by women, their hats acock and
their eyes agleam. There was
no one to cheer them as they
came backbone to pin flowers
on their breasts, none to follow
their tagging footsteps with
proud smiles.
But business is better down
town!
They marched by twos-
those who could march at all
limping on canes and crut ches.
bandages on their heads, arms
in sings, legs gone, worn to
shadows, the look of despair IN
their eyes. 1t was like the
march of specters in some old
play. 1t was a march of spec
tiers to rob the couch of imperi.
alism of sleep. 1t was the trib.
ute Of American homes to the
idea of aggression and aggrand-
izement.
But business is better down
town!
"These shadows of men told
strange tales of suffering-of
the quick wounds of battle and
the slow ravages of disease. 1t
was plain enough that many of
them never would see home and
friends again. Nine of their
comrades had died at sea. Two
had died on the transport the
night before-James M. Haines

Making the Small Farm Pay.

Making the Small Farm Pay.
To work a small farm to a
profit within easy reach of rail
road communication is simply a
matter Of some capital, a decid-
ed preference for the work, av.
erage intelligence, persistent
and patient industry and good
health. There are thousands
of small farms within a radius
of one hundred miles from New
York whose owners have aban-
doned other pursuits and taken
to tilling the land, and who
could not be induced to go back
to their former occupations.
The farms for the most part
were bought by part payment,
the balance remaining on bond
and mortgage. Twenty per
cent of these farms have been
redeemed in five years, and as Il
rule the debt was paid by the
thrift, self.sacritice, and co.
operative determination of the
man and his wife. One typical
example comes to mind. 1t is
of a coach painter. He had
worked ten years at his trade,
for twelve dollars a week. and
saved d hundred dollars a year.
In the eleventh year there was
a strike of his guild and he had
to face the prospect of being
out of work for some time, by
no choice of his own. He went
down into Jersey, bought ten
acres of land at hundred dol
lars an acre, paying five hun.
dred cash and giving his bond
for the remainder. With the
balance he bought horse and
a COW, Il second hand wagon,
and settled himself to earn a
new living. He and his wife,
with a tive.year-old child, lived
for two years in shanty, But
this man had the tenacity of
bulldog, the self-reliance of a
drummer, ard the patience of a
trained nurse. When he had
had been on his place eight
years l paid him a visit. His
wife met me at the depot, three
miles from her home, with a
two. seated rig and lively
team. I found the couple living
in a new cottage that had been
built by day labor and which
the owner had painted himself.
1t was a very tasteful structure
and was already prettily shaded
by the trees that he had set
out. III reply to my questions,
he said that he calculated to
make about eight hundred dol
lars a year clear. He had
bought the adjoining twenty
acres on easy terms and had
put most of it into good grow
ing shape j. P. Mowbray in

started to drive across the R.

with hitching post with
force enough-to throw all three
over and through the dash

was great enough to tear out

" God, but they look awful,
don't they said a stout young
recruit who watched the woeful
parade go stumbling, hobbling,
sprawling to the hospital door.
No wonder he shuddered. Soon
he will be called upon TO go ont

happiness at stake in the same
dread land of skirmish and Of

the wasting sickness.
But business is better down

Hardly had the long line of
ghostly men been fed and hous
ed when the steamer Resolute
was at the wharf with another
load from the death transport
a still more fearsome load.
The ambulances were called in
to requisltion this time-every
ambulance at Presidio.
THE first men who came off
had strange CLEANS in their
eyes. Their hands twitched,
their tongues bdbbled. Some
shouted, some laughed. None
smi led. They were the men
whose minds had given way un-
der the strain-minds that were
quick aud sharp and alert when
the men went ont to the war of
conquest.
But business is better down

Then came those who had
to be helped down the gang
plank and across the wharf and
into the ambulances-men with
fear full wounds, who had suffer
ed mighty agonies. No full
dinner pail can ever bring these
men back to what they were a
few short months ago. No
nursing however kindly can re-
store their limbs and features

undergoing repairs for several weeks
past, has begun the work Of dredging
the anchorage basin in front Of Gulf
port, which, when completed. will be
thirty feet deep and qufarter of a

about an eighth of mile in width,
and when filed will be used by the
railroad company as dock yards.
