Chronicles Of the Cater Days4
BY ALEX S. ARNOLD, wooNsookET. R. !.

Chapter w. In which our Grand Old
Indian Fighter. General Miles, is made
the Catspaw of Yellow Free Trade Bene-
dict Arnolds, whi make him look like
unto 30 cents.
/. And It came to pass in the days OF
Teddy the Strenuous that General Miles
did cast his garments about him and
straightway departed into a far country
and there did waste his valuable time In
hardening with great diligence unto lot
of warmed-over hash about our spleudid
soldiers In the Philippines; hash COM
posed of all the vile ISLANDERS and accusa-
tions which had been heard and examined
with exceeding care by our government
and which proved to be nine-tenths lies
held together by slight cement or truth
2. And wherefore were all these con-
temptible yarns and vile ISLANDERS hatcned
and after many days put upon General
Miles TO be warmed over 20 scent the
American Republic, even like unto a COM
bination OF fshball and garlic warmed
unto the sixth warm over and It's ira
GRANGE filling the dwelling from cellar 10
attic and impresnating the gentle zephyrs
for a full furlong outside?
g. All such un-American dfsgracing OF
our blessed nation cometh mostly from
exceeding much hatred and spite and
venom against wage earners. For, pe-
hold. what manner OF hate the yellow
free trader hateth bread winners.
Our brave, humane, patriotic, worthy
soldiers are recruited from the common
people yea, verify, wage earners; there-
fore are they hated and slandered ana
traduced and accused OF crimes which
the army would not stoop to do put
loathe and abhor Verify, verify the
vallows DO esteem our soldiers as cattle.
Were they but high and wealthy aud
nightly influential, then would the yell
lows not dare 20 besmirch their glorious
record.
& BUT remembered thou the tories OF
the Revolution? Have We not heard OF
the copperheads OF the Civil war? Albeit
the yellows and anai-Imperialists OF today
are even as like unto them as two white
beans. Not that every free trader or
anti-Imperialist is vile, for there are
many noble exceptions. But / speak or
the general trend of the leaders which rs
TO hate wage earners, and the innocent
ones are bamboozled and deceived ard
travel with closed optics. Howbeit, poor
old General Miles. our grand Indian hght-
ar. Ia even made the catspaw OF these un-
American matters OF Whse ehihsis, wiz"
! compose the Philippine army. How are
| the mighty fallen and the weapons OF war
perished7 How Is the silvery head Of
| poor old Miles bowed in humiliation be
\ cause " this contemplate yellow free
trade conspiracy
6 And instead OF becoming the mere
Y catspaw OF the yellow disciples OF Bene-
/ dict Arnold could poor old Miles have
/ known the things which belonged TO bis
/ peace and gone TO Secretary Root and

against wage workers public. then per
