there until I had passed. If Spain and
her soldiery heaped such laws upon
them, and then caused those laws to
be enforced, can we wonder at the
result?
A Peculiar Shot.
December had come; Major Logan
and six of his battalion had been killed
at San Fabian. I was going from
Angeles to San Fernando, in company
with three Spanish soldiers who had
recently escaped from the insurgent
lines. They were thin and looked
worn out, as if their eighteen months
of captivity had not been all roses.
We were nearing San Fernando,
when rifle barked from weedy
| field to our left. One of the Spaniards
clapped his hands to his breast and
fell across the track. We turned him
over: he was dead. The ball must
have passed through or very near his
heart. That was the only straight
shot ever saw a Filipino make, and
1 am not sure that he hit the man at
| whom he aimed.
I Fell Asleep in the Road.
Reveille sounded one morning at
three o'clock. Iguessed there would
be some fighting and I wanted to be in
at the killing. Blanket rolls were
hastily made up, travelling rations

tall Arkansan that the boys called
high pockets " 1t was always mys-
terry to me how he escaped getting
hit, for he was just the right height
to catch all the skyward Filipino bull
let's.
All day we tramped in deluge of
rain. Little rivers were running
down the road, and we could see the
water rise slowly ever the tops of the
rice fields. Only twice during the
long day did that tramping body of
shoes stop for short rest My feet
were covered with blisters The sand
had worked in around the bottoms of
my shoes, and getting under my feet,
acted like sand paper.
On and on they went, and still the
rain fell in torrents 1t must have

boys walk off and leave me.
A heavy firing commenced down the
road; jumped to my feet and started
off as fast as my stiff limbs could

we came across one of the chicken

Shot at Regiment and Killed Crow.
If you have ever been at Angeles,
on the Manila & Dagupan railroad,
you may have noticed an old dead
bamboo standing near the track. A
crow used to light there every morn
ing and cav loudly for several min
utes. He was an East India crow
and as noisy a one as [ ever heard.
One morning, as I rolled from my
blanket, was surprised Oh not hear
ing my black neighbor piercing the
still air with his clarion notes.
For the first time since had known
him he was silent and as motionless
as the dead bamboo in which he
perched. 1 think he was waiting for
the end. A little puff of white smoke
drifted up from distant rice field:
the crow tapped his wings and fell
down through the tangled network
of thorns A Remington bullet went
humming over head and then skipping
down the road.
A Filipino brave had shot at regi-
ment and killed crow.
The Carnage of War.
A few miles west of Bam BAN are
the ruins of an old town. In the fall
of '99, it was captured by the Ameri-

broke out and the place was burned to
the ground. I waded through the
black ashes on my way to the former

fact that the action is out Of the jurisdic-
