United States Senator Fairbanks, Of
Indiana, would receive the nomina.
ton of the republican convention in
1904 over Roosevelt. and would
receive the support Of Senator
Hanna Of Ohio, now have another
predict coming. Has indicated in
recent public expressions that he is
and has been a prominent Roosevelt
man, and the action of the recent
Ohio republican state convention
with Hanna as its leading spirit
settles all question Of opposition to
Roosevelt from that quarter. One
finds the enemy had better confirm
their labors and predictions to their

indicate they have fine field for an

Lamentations OF
the Faithful Servant

I that gave me a talking to because l
asked to be let go to Lady Cigarette
Makers ball. which my own brother
Toms daughter works in the factory,
! and got me ticket for to admit my
self and gent.
"She said such ways of spending an
evening was low and coarse and that
she would see about getting me in the
Girls Friendly association of her
church, where they had spelling bees
and geography matches and such. And
once when she found me reading my
Eastern Sibyl Fortune Teller to see
what it means If you dream that the
young man at the butchers has give
you a diamond necklace and grand
piano, and a black cat has crossed your
path three times, she got mad for fair,
and I never saw that book again,
though I had paid out so cents at the
paper store. On the kitchen shelf,
where used to keep 1t, found story
book with awful funny names.a nd it
said on the cover, 'Macaulay's Essays
Then / got mistress that thought
was queer that I'd rather buy mat
inee ticket for Chauncey Olcott than
take the three she'd got me cheap for
some concerts where the folks played
on fiddles and drums and things, and
you never heard a word of singing, and

the work not too hard, the wages good
and the ladies willing to teach me any
thing I did not know about American

well, the good saints sent me to
this house after a while. I've got a
mistress now that wouldn't care If 1
wore a cabbage on my head or pink
satin skirt to go out in, as long as l
am neat and tidy about her kitchen
She never interferes with the bit or
the sup take, and I could pile on the
bed covers till they'd reach the ceiling
before she'd say a word. And when my
work is done of an afternoon and I'm
minded to have a bit of chat with
the girl in the next fiat, she don't tell
me that idle gossip is bad for the mind
and that l might better be making my
self new shirt waist by dress-cut-
ting system she'll lend me. She said to
me the other day. says she, Margaret,
1 hope you are contented and happy
with us. and told her Twas that, and
for the first time in her place since
came to this country"

COMPANY B

1t was almost certain to happen that
way in a regiment going into action for
the first time The officers were raw
and the men were raw. After Eve or
ak men of Company B had been kill
ed the remainder of the hundred hud-
died together like frightened sheep for
2 moment and then turned their back
to the foe and bolted from the field.
Had the men been veterans there
might have been a bit of confusion az
the fire got too hot, but there would
have been no running away. Had the
officers been veterans the company
would not have been stood up there to
furnish target practice to the enemy
A pitiful thing followed Company B
was branded with cowardice In the
face OF the enemy. There were over
ninety men left, stalwart fellows from
the pine woods and forest streams.
who had worked alongside danger all
their lives, and now they were to be
snubbed, even by the company team
sters and the suffers clerks. They
muttered and cursed and shed tears,
but the stigma had been put upon
them, and they had to bear It. A citi-
zen may be dubbed coward for not
resenting an insult, but he can plead n
dozen excuses. Not so a soldier, how
ever. He is in the ranks to fight. and
fight he must or become an object of
contempt.
Company B cursed and muttered and
waited. There would be other battles.
and their time would come. Three
months later they went into action,
with the company banner leading the
way and every man singing a war
song, and for quarter of an hour
they were heroes. What happened all
Of sudden no man could afterward
tell. Perhaps 1t was the screams of
men as they were hit, or section of a
battery galloping through the line, or
1t might have been some laundering
order ON the part Of the officers. No
matter what 1t was, the results were
lamentable. Company 3 bolted again,
and the other men cried, yah, yahw
in contempt as the panic stricken lum-
bermen fell back. They had fought
