experiencing some of the trials

the difficulties of the syndicate was
made, saying that his company will

in the ordinance including the fran

Story of Agui,naldo.
A TRUE STORY.

Not the Aguinaldo whom you boys and
girls have heard so much about, al
though his home was way over on the
Philippine Islands. too. He was only a
little brown monkey.
He lived with his master in a big white
tent. and all day when his master was
on the march, Aggie. as he was called.
would sit on his masters shoulder. and at
night he would creep close under the
blanket which covered his good friend
and keep warm by his side.
One night they were ordered to so on a
long march with many other soldiers.
The enemy was in a little town away over
the big muddy rice-helds and across the
swift river down behind a high hill. Ag-
gie's master and the other soldiers were
going to march ALL the long, dark night,
and try to catch the enemy before they
woke up the next day.
Now Aguinaldo was a very,very brave
little monkey. and very much attached
to his master (by the means OF stout
rope) so he naturally decided to go too.
Oh how it rained all that night! But Ag-
gle did not mind 1t much, for he did not
have to walk. but sat on his masters
shoulder. put his long tail around his
masters neck to keep from falling on,
and took a good nap.
After a while he woke UP and peeped
out to see what was going on. 1t was
still raining, and, horrors! his master was
about TO walk into big river. He was
so frightened that If It had not been for
the "close ties that bound him" to his
master I am afraid he would have de-
serted On went his master into the riv-
er. Aggie could see the swift flood ris-
ing higher and higher till 1t was nearly
up to his perch.
He could stand no more. and quickly
hiding beneath the poncho. and throwing
his arms and legs around his master
neck. partly to assure HIS master that he
would stick to him through thick and
thin. and mainly to assist his tail in max
ing sure that he did stick he tried TO com
pose himself TO the awful fate that threat
ened him. How. long he remained in this
fix he could not tell to this day, but when
he at last mustered up courage enough to
look out from under the poncho he saw
that the dawn was breaking.
His master and the other soldiers were
standing on a high HILL at the foot Of
which was another river. and little
town on its banks. There were lot Of
little heaps of earth and some bitches in
front of the town that Aggie could not
understand, but as his master was about
to eat a little coiG lunch ;-lat his Uncle
Sam" had provided for him. Aggie gave
up trying to make out what those bitches
and piles of earth were for and slowly
turned loose Of his masters neck and ac-
cepted a choice morsel of a dainty con-
coction called bareback"
Just as Aguinaldo had finished eating
and was about to ask for more a big man
on little horse rode up and said some
thing to the soldiers. Now, Aggie was not
an American monkey and had not been d
citizen of the United States long enough
to become naturalized, so he could not
understand what the big man was trying
to get at. but he thought possibly the big

BY RAYS OF MACHINE
MAY SAVE BOYS LIFE

NEW YORK, May AT the Flower
hospital, a second experiment has been
made with the actinolite the new electri-
cal apparatus through which the actinic
ray, or the violet-colored light which has
been found to be germicidal, is thrown
upon the diseased parts Of the body.
The patient was the same one used in
the first trial of the ray. Frederick M.
Campbell, IA years old, who before he be-
came III. was a great favorite as mes
senger in the stock exchange. So fond
are the brokers of the boy that they have
just endowed bed in perpetuity in his
name. He is the special protege Of An
son r. Flower. the president of the hospi-
tal who for year has betrayed the ex-
penses of the boys care in private room.
The boys case is a desperate one. He
has tuberculosis of the hip in very ad-
vanced stage.
The entire upper part of the femur has
been cut away. His only hope is in the
actinic ray. and although that has been
used on him but once. already there is
noticed a decrease in the discharge from
the wounds. The operation lasted ten
minutes. after which the boy was carried
from the operating room and a second pa
tient, suffering with a secondary cancer
of the neck was brought in. The light
used is of 5000 candle power.

During my substantially 20 years OF SER
vice in congress / made several attempts
to secure legislation which would mod
ernie the laws regarding that great arm
OF defense. the militia OF the United
states,". but owing to the infiexible rules
which govern the house OF representatives
all such efforts proved TO be unavailing.
and today the law regarding our militia,
which was enacted the Sth day OF May,
1870. and amended the I'd day of March.
1eO8 with all its utter inappiicability to
present conditions is nevertheless now the
law OF the United States.
The following is verbatim the present
law with regard to arming the militia
as It Is solemnly reproduced in the latest
copy OF the Revised Statutes Of the Uni
ted States:
section 1s9s-It shall be the duty of
citizen OF the. respective states, resident
therein. who Is the age of IS years and
under the age OF IS. shall be enrolled in
The militia.
section 162s-It shall be the duty Of
every captain or commanding officer OF
a company 10 enroll every such citizen
residing within the bounds Of his compa-
ny. and all those who may from time to
tine arrive at the age of IS years. or
who being OF the age OF IS years and un-
der the age Of = years, come 10 reside
within his bounds.
section 162T-Each captain or command.
ing off1cer shall. without delay, notify ev-
cry such citizen Of his enrolment by
a proper non-commissioned officer Of his
company, who may prove the notice. And
any notice or warning TO a citizen en-
