A Sample Anti" Story.

Though the Democrats have dis
crcetiy dropped their ranting about
the. army cruelties" in the Philip
Pines a recent development is at least
Illuminating on the sources of the am
Vnunifion which they used in their as
saults on the flag and the boys in
Khaki under 1t. One of the most
Iurid OF the tales circulated by the
the army was n lettar written by Will
liam J. Longenberger, a private of the
: 18th Infantry to his mother in Penn
Ssyivania. He detailed the horrors OF
: battle, the slaughter of innocent Fill
pino women and children. the torture
~ prisoners by our soldiers, and he
was made to say that as he wrote
stacks of unburied bodies of Eflipinos
lay about him, and that when an in
surgent dropped ''our boys all shot him
seven or eight times, so that he was
covered with blood from head to foot"
The anti administration press printed
= and reprinted this letter with Srear
: gusto. with Mortified editorial COM
rnents thereon rs to the cruelty and
<"barbarity'' of the American soldiers.
Now comes the sequel. The shud-
/ders which this epistle caused resulted
in a little investigation by General
,Chaffee. 1t was quickly shown that
the letter was q humbug, the fairy
story of a foolish boy who wanted TO
make sensation at home. He ad-
mitted as much, with no little con-
Geers. The commander of his com
pany states that LOngenberger :
record shows that he has never beer

A Glance Back 1000 Years.

A Glance Back 1000 Years.
There is something intensely fascf-
mating in digging deep into the musty
past and forcing from the unwilling
earth the secrets it holds of generations
tbat passed away centuries ard GEN.
turics before our time. And AS We
delye the conclusion is almost forced
npoo US that away back beyond the
iari: ages. beyond evan what We term
primeval times. there was a period
when a degree Of civilization existed
upon the earth which these later CEN
turies have not excelled.
The learned men of the United
States have been distancing those of
Europe in the work of probing into
antiquity, and Prof. Hilprecht of the
University OF Pennsylvania. who has
headed several expeditions to the val
ley Of the Euphrates. has just added q
most important chapter to the story.
The extraordinary discoveries made in
Egypt by the American explorer,
Schlieman. are antedated many CEN
turies. and the civilization disclosed
there was vastly inferior to what is
row known TO have existed along the
Euphrates at the earliest period
latest expedition to the site of ancient
Nippur has brought to light hundreds
of priceless tablets in a library of the
earliest of the buried cities which en-
able him to write well connected his
tory of the inhabitants.
He found one city built upon the re-
mains of another until the successive
layers of cities became almost bewiId
ering. But deep down, many feet un-
der the surface of the earth, he came to
the remains of a people who at the time
their city was abandoned were more
civilized and enlightened indeed than
any Eastern country, or even Russia,
is today. This was away back in AGO
Il. c., or 100 years before the date fixed
by Bishop Usher for the creation of
Adam and Eve. These people not only
had admirable political institutions,
with imposing government buildings
and great libraries, but they had all
the modren customs in trade, banking,
bills of exchange, mortgages, releases,
and of course taxes. They had almost
as broad knowledge of mathematics
and astronomy as are possessed now,
and very much more than had the
Babylonians. who, at a long distance.
succeeded them.
The difference between Professor Hill
prechts discoveries and those made
in Egypt will appear III the deduction
TO be drawn. While in Egypt some
trinkets and mummies We're found re-
Iating 20 very remote period. civiliza-
tion receded the further back the dis
coveries went until the condition of the
people was probably primitive, where
| as at Nippur the further down the eX-
plorer went the higher was the degree
of civilization until it reached point
to which there has never since been.
any approach in Asia and not incor-
siderable part of Europe. To have
reached such development many CEN
turies were necessary, which carries
the people back far beyond 400 B. C.
1t is bewildering to dwell upon the
50 many theories of history, sociology
and theology that the student is al
