Cheer Patriotic Song.
AS the last words Of the chorus echoed

The speaker recountcd the history OF
the organization, its charity, its efforts at
unity and peace, its conservative broad
minded policy and the victories it had won
for the working people Of the state and Of
the west.
He made poi string impression on his
hearers when he spoke Of the eight hour
law and asked them if they were employ
ing the leisure time that the change had
given them by studying and bcttering their
condition and obtaining an intelligent view
of political and social conditions
The speaker urged his hearers 10 remem-
Der that victories were won at the polls
not by following blindly the policy Of man
who wanted their aid for the success OF
any party, but by acting intclligently for
their own best interests.
Never said the speaker, "has labor
made such advances as during the past
ten years. Improvement is the result Of
intelligent thought and intelligent action.
Study, improve your mind. Prepare
yourselves for the protection of the in
terest OF the working people, not by talk
but by study and action"
Mr.. MONEYS words were listened 10
by the immense audience with rapt atten.
''S'' h''' '''ii'Hlly uhilllR the course OF
his remarks they broke into spontaneous
applause.
When he sat down the applause was
deaiening and It was evident that he had
made strong impression on his hearers.

And so you will, my son." said big
Irish miner, as he took the little fellows
hand. You're one OF the Miners Union
today anyhow"
AS the boy trottcd along with uneven
step, his big badge futterng in the wind,
there was a murmur of approval from the
throng and many turned away to hide the
emotion that the incident brought forth.
The members of Miners Union const.
tuted by far the greater number in the
parade and as they fled by, many were
the remarks about their appearance and
the evident strength Of their union.
There was no attempt at display in their
ranks. AS one of them aptly remarked.
This is no coronation procession" 1t
was demonstration of their success and
of the conservative yet fearless character
of their organization.
Ore Teams in the Way.
Behind the miners came carriage with
Nj. ]. Mooney, the orator of the day,
Thomas Duignan, treasurer of the union,
Thomas kilgallon and Hon. ]. ]. Quinn,
the father of the eight-hour law.
Not hitch occurred in the order Of the
parade. At the corner of Woolman there
was a pause for few minutes as three
big six-horse ore teams that we're coming
down the hill and unable to slow up, broke
across the line of march. There was a
m,tter of disapproval from few, but the
miners took the matter with evident good
nature and the teamstcrs passed by with
little friendly banter from the men in
line.
The line of march was as follows
Starting from Miners union hail north on
Main to Woolman, west on Woolman to
Montana, south on Montana to Granite,
east on Granite to Main, south OH Main
to Broadway, east on Broadway to CO.

jints don't made to fight if they don't
want to- Besides, it's better that
we'd lose the captain-yes, or the colo
nel-than the man that kapes us in the
best of grub that can be made of ra-
tons"
"I'm not sayin' We lie," Pat replied,
"but If l had as little stomach for grub
as he has for fightin' I'd go to the hos
pital and stay there"
After unsaddling l was greatly de-
layed in reaching the quarters, for l
event over my horse very carefully
to learn whether he had been wound
ed. Horses have their own reasons
for not reporting "a mere scratch"
that might in time disable them.
Climbing our bunk - Brainard's and
mine-which was at the top of tier,
l saw my chum lying down, with a
pocket mirror in one hand, my cousin
Mays portrait in the other and with
tears in his eyes.
"Brace up, old chapw said 1.
He quickly turned his hands to hide
their contents, but his face was too
honest to hide anything that was be-
hind it. Besides, he said in fragments
between sobs:
Il was homely enough before. Now
I'm disfgured for life. The surgeon
wouldn't deny it, and Hamilton - he
always was handsome. Heaven made
him so. Therefore I've no right to
complain, but-but"-
"But you fought, and he didn't"
"Eh?"
He didn't, say. l was watching
him"
Brainard mopped his eyes with his
hands and looked proud an instant.
Then he groaned:
"'Tis hard world, Jack"
The cruelest thing about it was that
Brainard was the only member of our
company that got a scratch, though
fully half of us, not being handsome,
like Hamilton, coveted the scar which
Brainard wore after his wound healed.
Among the half that did not covet that
"red badge of courage" was Hamilton.
He never spoke of it, but many times
afterward did see our handsome COM
missary sergeant look at Brainard' 8
cheek with an expression that indicat-
ed extreme satisfaction and triumph,
with dash of contemptuous pity that
made me hate the man, though he had
always been so considerable of my alb
normal appetite that he had slyly given
me double rations of hard tack when
we went out scouting.

| didn't look at the other boys while
they were being bound. | was afraid
they might be looking at me- Besides,
| had too much else to occupy my
mind. Capture meant prison, poor
fool perhaps sickness and death. II
certainly meant no more communica.
ton with home for months. Probably
my parents would think me dead, and
they would daily wonder where and
how | met my fate. Oh, what an aw
full load of punishment belonged to
whoever was to blame for the war!
When all of us had been bound, the
men who had kept us covered with
their guns arose, came in front of us
ana stared at us. Suddenly one Of
them exclaimed:
cts fact! | was doggoned sure of
it from the fust."
'What you talkin' about?" asked an
other. r~.,-zas ~. 49,. =z,.,,,,..., s.3..s,.

up; this here is the little cuss that

felt ashamed that the sound of a
friendly voice had made me forgetful
of the awful future before me.

the party.
This was kind, but would their good

prison or Castle Thunder? Still, l
thanked him as heartily as could and

into the hands of some one who seemed
to remember us pleasantly. Then my
old acquaintance became chatty and
told me they had hung about the edge
of our camp all the day before, trying
to find out what we were doing, word
having been sent to their camp. 10
miles away, that a "lot of Yanks was
cuttin' pine by the river" They had
followed us, keeping on one flank as
my little squad went up the river, for
they wanted to learn what we were up
to. They were glad they had seen us
leave camp; otherwise they would have
missed their boat, on which they night
ly crossed the river to the house in
which they slept.
All this was interesting, but it made
cold chilIs play hide and seek all over
me. Suppose, instead of following us
through mere curiosity, they had shot
us as soon as we were out of hearing
of our camp. Ugh!
Guess we'd better git across the riv-
er now" said the man who seemed
leader of the pity. ''The Yanks II be
sendin' out for these boys poorly soon,
like as not, an we don't want to git in
to no muss." 80
