The InvincibIe Country Boy.

a glance at list Of the great men
OF the big cities Of the United States
will prove beyond doubt that the
country-bred boy is far superior TO his
city born cousin in point OF business
and professional ability and gen
eral capacity. Many reasons are ad-
vanccd for the success of the country
boy in the large cities, but the one
that seems to hit the nail on the head
is that the youngSter Of the provinces
is taught TO work, and by this is
meant a good and honest days work,
one of twelve hours. He is a Sticker,
too, who is willing TO start in at the
bottom, and when you find country
boy who is worker and a Stickcr, ne
is invincible. You can't keep him
down.

The extended report of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles concerning
his observations In the Philippines.
was made public last week by the war
department. 1t is dated Feb. 10,
1903, and covers all features of his
trip through the islands, together with
his recommendations.
General Miles describes visit to
Lipa, where, he says, a party OF citi-
zcns, headed by the acting presidente.
met him and stated that they desired
to make complaint of harsh treatment
of the people of that community, say
ing shat they had been concentrated
in towns and had suffered great in
dignit;es, that fifteen OF their people
had been tortured by what is known
as the water torture, and that one
man. highly respected citizen, aged
80 years, named Vicente Luna, while
suffering from the effects OF the tor

from his house, which had been set
on fire. and burned TO death. They

1896 and 1880 is now to be inquired
about. 1t is possible that he may
then haye been profound believer in
the great fundamental principals OF
Democracy, but that he may have
withheld his support from the party
from either honest doubt made the
particular policies advocated would
subserve these principles or from
sincere conviction that they would
not. On the other hand, either be-
liefs or sympathieS adverse to the
general doctrines of the party may
have caused him to make OF these par
ticular policies an excuse or pretenSe
for inactivity or for open aid to the
Republican program. In the former
case | maintain that man, If he Je
now in harmony with Democratic
purposes, has right to scat at the
counsel table and Il place in the fight
ing lines. In the latter case. ! con-
tend just as Stuutly, he should neither
expect or receive the treatment of a
friend and ally. His place is among
the ranks of the enemy. To those
Democrats, therefore, who were not
with the party i'm 1895 or 1900 let
us say: Are you sincerely with us
now? If they answer Yes let us
examine the record of those cam
paigns only as bearing upon their good
faith. If satisfied with that | shall
be glad for my party to keep step with
yon and them to the music OF the con-
stitution and the Declaration Of Ia
dependence until the principles OF
both are once again the recognized
and honored bulwarkS of the repub-
lic.'

THREATENED WITH FLOOD.

Overwhelmed by countless tons of
rock the little mining town OF Frank,
in southwestern Alberta, is threatened
with complete destruction by Hood.
Old Mans river, which flows through
the centre Of the town, is damned up
by the falling rocks to the height Of
nearly 100 feet and the entire valley
above the town is flooded for miles. a
big body OF water is pressing with
force upon the dam, the only protcc-
tion the town of Frank now has un-
less the river shall find another chan
mel. Should the impromptu dam
break, the entire village would he
swept away. The latest information
from Frank is somewhat more reaS-
surfing than earlier news, in that there
now seems to be less danger than was
at first anticipated of extensive diSaS-
ter The threatened flood, which bid
fair to duplicate the Johnstown dis.
aster, seems less probable. a large
force OF men has been at work trying
to create new channel that the
damned up water of the Old Mans
river may be run Off. The men will
work throughout the night, and it is
hoped that the water will be running
through the new channel before morn
ing.
FIFTEEN MINERS ESCAPED.
Most of the men imprisoned i'm the
mine, whose death at first seemed GER
tain, got out alive late Wednesday
afternoon. There were II men i'm the
mine. Two died from SuiTocation,
but the other ID worked their way
out. The rescuing party above ground
deSpaired of saving the entombed
miners, for the entrance was blocked
by immense piles OF broken rocks.
The miners within, however, found
an exit where there was less rock and
after cutting their way through 80
feet of debris all but two emerged
from the mine uninjured. One OF the
imprisoned who so narrowly escaped
death went home after emerging from
the mine and found his house destroy
ed and his wife and six children dead.
There is now plenty of air in the mine
and the inside workings are intact.
THE CAUSE EXPLAINED.
A special from Frank estimates the
total number Of dead at %. The
latest theory as TO the cause OF the
disaster Is that 1t was due to 4 rock
slide which carried the top OF Turtle
mountain down upon tie village be-
low. 1t is now thought that was sup
posed TO be the smoke OF volcano
was dust and that the continued fall
of small bits OF rock during the day
was merely the aftermath of the origl-
nal rock slide. A repetition OF the
calamity Is now considered unlikely.

SIMILAR ATROCITIES.

General Miles then refers to other
cases, saying that on the island of
Cebu, 1t was reported and published
in November, 1902, that two officers,
Captain Samuels, Forty-four'n !nran-
Try, United States volunteers, and
Lieut.. Peeter, Nineteenth infantry,
had committed similar atrocities
against the people OF that island. 1t
is also reported that at Laoag, on the
island OF Luzon, two natives were
whipped to death. At Tacloban,
Eeyte, it was reported that Major
Glenn ordered Lieut.. Caulifield,
Philippine scouts, to take eight prison
ers out into the country and that III
they did not guide him to the camp OF
the insurgent quison, he was not to
bring them back. 1t was stated that
the men were takenou and that they
either did not or could not do Us

son among the scouts, was spared, but
the others were shot or bayonetted to
death, some being in kneeling posi-

THE PRIESTS TORTURED.

At Calbayog, Samar, it was report
ed that several men in that district
had been subjected to water cure. saw
three men who had been subjected to
this treatment. One was the presi-
dente OF the town, Mr.. Rosales, who
showed me long, deep scars on his
arm, which, he said, were caused by
the cords with which ne was bound,
cutting into his flesh.
The second man was named Jose
Borga and the third was Padre Jose
DiazneS, who stated that he was one

ed to torture by the troops under com
mand of Lieut.. Gaupot, Tenth
cavalry; that his front teeth had been

that he was otherwise maltreated.
and robbed Of $500. 1t was stated
that these priests were taken out to
be killed and were saved only by the
p! ompt action Of Major Darlington,
First infantry, who sent out for
them.
Lieut.. Gaujot was tried, pleaded
guilty, and was given the trivial SEN
tence OF three months suspension
from command, forfeiting $50 per
month for the same period. His plead
ing guilty prevented all the facts and
circumstances being developed.

1T appears that Major Glenn,
Lieut.. COnger and party OF aSsis-
tantS and native scouts were moved
from place TO place for the purpose OF
extorting statements by means OF
torture and 1t became so notorious
that This party was called 'Glenn's
brigade Whether 1t was possible for
officials 10 be engaged In such acts
withr ut the personal knowledge Of
the general upon whose staff they
were serving at the time, namely,
Briganier General Hughes, leave for
Others to conjecture.
These facts came to my notice in
casual way, and many others OF
similar character have been reported
in different parts OF the archipelago.
In fact, | was informed that it was
common talk at the place where
officers congregated that such tranSac-
tio1s had been carried on either with
the connivance or approval of certain
nmanding officers. 1t is, however
most gratifying To state that such
atrocities have been condemned by
such commanders as Generals Lawton.

COULD COOK
But Couldn't Eat.

A man who has seen many years sail
ing as cook on the finland Seas as the
Great Lakes are called, has learned a
thing or two about food as the following
story shows:
Il am a cook on the Great Lakes and
have for five years suffered more than
pen or tongue could tell from stomach
trouble and have taken medicine enough
to float the boat l sail in, and yet with
out any relief from pain.
There were long stretches of time
when 1 could not even keep milk or
wine or the lightest kind of food on my
stomach and 1 had fallen away from las
to los pounds in less than two years. 1
saw so much in the newspapers about
your food Grape-Nuts that one day 1
decided to try it although without the
least hope of success.
so 1 bought package in Cleveland
and made the trial and my stomach was
so cranky 1 was afraid to try more than
one teaspoonful with a little milk
To my surprise kept it on my stomach
without any bad feelings and at the end
of an hour I knew it had dtgested and
gone to the right spot so tried two tea
spoonfuls more with the same result.
And now for the past seven months I
have lived almost entirely on Grape
Nuts where before I simply lived on
medicines which consisted principally of
opia tes that relieved me for a time but
shattered my nerves and weakened my
stomach.
Soon after I began Grape-Nuts
gave up all medicines for I saw that
Grape-Nuts was remaking me. Now my
nerves are back in their proper shape
and my stomach is so strong I can eat
almost any kind of food without any
suffering whatever.
1T may interest you to know that
your food is very fine in case of seasick-
ness for in this line it has no equal In
many cases of very rough water l have
given Grape-Nuts to people on my boat
who were seasick, when the sight of
even coffee would be unbearable but
few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts pre-
pared with only water was taken and
more asked for and given with perfect
results.
You never saw two healthier or hap
pier youngsters than my two grand
children who eat nothing else for break
fast or supper but Grape-Nuts- There
are two other men on my boat besides
myself who eat nothing else but Grape
Nuts for breakfast. Had it not been for
this perfect food I would now be depend
ent on my relatives for support. The
fellows on the boat make fun of me
when they see me coming along with my
little yellow package but / guess under
the circumstances / can afford to laugh
with them.
