In General Woods skirmish
with the Moros more than 300 OF
them were killed without the loss
of an American soldier. This
awful result is explained by the
revelation that among the dead
picked up after the so-called
"battle" there were many women
and children who fought our
troops and faced our machine
guns armed only with knives and
sticks.

ventured out on unknown seas,
made known that which no cul-
tured eyes had ever seen before.
The stories of adventure when
the world was a-discovering, fire
our imagination and we wish that
there were still new things to
see, new places to discover, and
we would give much to place our
feet where no human foot had be-
fore stood. But after all is this
not idle longing ? Has not each
new thing that we see and hear
day by day the same capacity
for cheering simple souls as had
discoveries for the adventures
That is the secret--simplicity of
spirit. If we have simplicity of
spirit like child, each new thing
learned is like a revelation and
then anyway though rivers and
oceans and continents have all
been discovered and most of them
measured and mapped, is discov-
cry altogether exhausted Not
by any means. Each generation
stands on aplatform raised above
its own head by the preceding
generation, and the things seen
from that higher platform are
wider and more than those seen
before and each widened horizon
of human knowledge means more
yet to be discovered, so that the
generation to come after us may
again stand upon a higher plat
form than we. The joy of dis
covery is not altogether gone. 1t
is still with us, but it is in the
realms Of thought and of spirit
more than of physical things.
What joy, for instonce, to dis
cover in ourselves power that
we had not dreamed of. The in
ner self unexplored, and none
but ourselves can go on voyages
of discovery there. Though our
lives are narrow, it will not pre-
vent our souls from being broad,
if we will only discover within
what these souls can do when
they are enlightened. If hamp-
ering details impair our every
day, these need not hinder the
wings of fancy from taking beau
teous flight whenever leisure is
ours. In life each year seems
more grindingly depressed with
burdens and with sorrows and
with perplexities, the joy Of dis
covery is ours when we find that
the soul can can rise above all
such things and live in realm
where pillows roar not and the
storm ceases to destroy. Not
only these things are ours if we
will but discover ourselves, but
there is for the most hampered
OF US the keen joy of knowledge
that our souls in their highest
can be kin to the highest souls
that ever walked the earth.

RALLY Al BRUNSWICK.
Hon. 6. M. Seiders and Hon. 1. It.
Carleton Speak to Large Audience.

Brunswick. Me, Aug. 22.-(SpeciaD.
The Pepublicans of this town fired
the opening gun of the local campaign.
this evening. A very successful flag
raising and rally was held at the cor
ner of Main and Cumberland streets.
The speakers were Leroy II. Carle-
ton Of Winthrop, and George M.
Seiders OF Portland. At little after
Z Z. NJ, large American flag suspend
ed over the street was unfurled while
the St. Jean de Baptist Band played
1.-The Star Spangled Banner" At the
bottom of the flag We're the names
Roosevelt and Fairbanks" AS the
flag unfolded itself in the breeze the
crowd gave a hearty cheer and there
was a display of fireworks. Charles f..
Townsend, chairman of the Republican
town committee, introduced the first
speaker of the evening, Mr.. Seiders.
The raising of the flag, he said. is Of
double significance, it not only cele-
brates the opening of the State cam
paign but it also marks the semi-cen-
tennial of the Republican party. He
referred to the organization of the Re-
which this sentiment was expressed:
I'VE will be known as Republicans
until this contest is ended Continu-
ing, he eulogized the party, it's record
and its glorious achievements. And
referring to the campaign Ill thlS
county. he urged Republicans to faith
fully ana loyalty support the party
nominees, saying that it was not
h.,
to battle.
The feature Of Mr.. Seiders' address
was his reference to the Democratic
candidate for sheriff. He said: NO
officer of the State, no matter what ms
degree or position. can faithfully stand
up and say that he will not enforce the
law but that he has IL plan of his own.
1t cannot be done. Suppose | as at
torncy general because | cannot con-
Wet all the murderers, should say l
will not enforce the law against MUIR
der but will proceed in my own way to
accomplish my O"n object, what would
you say? | tell YOU it can't be done
So long as law Is on our statute Do"h IL
is the duty of every officer ana cltlZeh
to see that it is enforced. We may differ
about the law. but no man ought ever
to say that the law of the State shall
be nuIified.' In closing lie urged the
duty Of voting straight.
Mr.. Carleton III his address eulogiZed
the flag and what it stands for and
spoke in Il general way of State and
national issues. He spoke with much
enthusiasm and was heartily APP
plaudcd.
At the close Of the addresses the
crowd cheercd the Republican nomI-
ness and the speakers Of the evening.
a reception was held at headquar-
tiers. where a large number of Repub-
leans had assembled to meet the
speakers and to Join in the new cam
paign club. During the evening the
