men and encouragement were lacking.
II came to fight for American indie
pendence," was the reply.
What can you DOR
"Try me-"
Try him they did, with the result
that individually he did more to aid
the struggles for liberty than could a
regiment Of troops. Kosciuszko it was
who built redoubts and breastworks:
Kosciuszk0 it was who by his knowl-
edge Of engineering constructed ram
parts and forts; Kosciuszko it was
who planned and completed the works
at West Point.
At the close Of the war he returned
to his own Poland that he might aid In
bringing to her the blessings Of liberty
that he had already helped another
land to win. But his fight was in vain.
At the siege Of Warsaw, when he fell
covered with wounds, when the Rus
slams were entering the city, he ex-
claimed, 1.-THE end of Poland"
His words proved prophetic. Years
afterward when Emperor Paul of Rus
STA set him free from the prison where
he had long been confined, offering
him his own imperial sword, the pat
riot said sadly:
Il have no need Of a sword, since I
have no country to defend"
The end Of Poland was not the end
Of the cause Of liberty. From the par
t1tioned land with no freedom of her
own the words and deeds Of her brave
patriot have gone through the whole
world, animating other lands to love
Of liberty. One act will not measure
the value Of a mans service to the
cause he fights for. Warsaw fell, but
Thaddeus Kosciuszko's memory win
live as long as man remembers the
name of liberty.
1t is not the name Of the victor that
the goddess Of fame inscribes on her
golden tablet. 1t lie the name Of him
who fought for right.

The point OF the island butting out
toward the bar was now close OF hand,
While the breakers from the ocean
come nearly to its shores, the men be.
lieyed that the island could be passed
by the fat bottomed river boat.
But Jaryi headed straight on.
"Why do you not turn to the rieht2'
asked Captain Budlong.
"We would run her into the sand, -
replied the pilot.
"But you are running her into the
breakers" replied the sheriff.

men down stairs fell about the deck
like drunkards and while some became
deathly sick, others were alarmed.

not live in this sea. He could have
passed the point of the leland without
coming into the breakers. The water

cealment and spoke with all Of the
earnestness Of woman, and the cool
ness of man.
Jarvi looked around ct her with q
ghostly smile OF contempt, but did moi
bulge the wheel.

Captain Budlorg.
GAN right" replied the pilot. Then
he released the wheel and walked out
of the pilot house. The boat leaped
and reeled. The propelling wheel a.
ternately rose above and sank deep into
the water revolving az uselessly az

the mercy of the breakers.
The last extremity had been reached.
The sheriff drew his revolver, and,
pointing it at Jarvi, said:
''Go back TO that wheel and take ua
out of this or I shall shoot you like q

"All right" replied Jarv3 in a con.
temptuous voice.
Then the man started as if he would
enter the door of the pilot house, but
he turned quickly and leaped into the
foaming breakers below.
sankala, keenly alive to the impend-
ing crisis, bare headed and bare armed
sprang to the wheel. She glanced
down into the angry sea, and hurriedly
examined the shore line to the north
then with distended muscles she bore
down on the lever that governed the
rudder, and rang the engineer to turn

81 hope to God she will. Those
fellows are reinforcing their strength
and we can't hold out much longer
against them."
Thus spoke Old seadog. A hand TO
hand fight had just taken place on the
water and while the encounter was a
draw the northsiders knew that their
strength was being exhausted while
that of their enemy was being in
creased by force of numbers.
The only hope of the northsiders was
the arrival of the state troops. The
militia was not ordered out for the pur-
pose of taking part In the fight, If it
could be avoided, but to patrol the
river and prevent bloodshed.
The state maintained the right of its
citizens to fish to the middle of the
stream wherever that might be determ.
lned to be, and claimed the right to
protect their life and property north Of
that point.

out the worst element of the southside
and they determined to drive back or
destroy, even to the line of the north
shore.
The boat came slowly down the river.
The belligerent fishermen watched it
with intense interest on both sides,
II hope to God she brings the SOL

nearer and nearer. "Gabe Jarvi will

reader already knows Of it's movements,
and the treachery OF it's pilot.
After the boat passed away to the
south OF the island, the northsiders re-
Taxed into q feeling almost hopeless.
The night was cool and calm, but an
unusual darkness settled down upon
the waters. The stars shown out and
gave forth shadows that darkened the
surface of the water. A black veil
hung above It like q mantle. The

Forty years ago the great war Of the
rebellion ended. Thousands Of the
brave boys in blue are sleeping today
in unknown graves on southern battle
fields. Many of the soldiers Of the
war are resting in their narrow beds
in Hillside, Greenwood and Oceanview
cemeteries. To-day the loyal people OF
Astoria viii commemorate the achieve

lives that this country might live, but
to instill into the minds Of the rising
generation the du.y enjoined upon
them, in after years to emulate the
example of the loyal surviving few and

JAPANESE VICTORY.

The world has been patiently awalt-
ing the result OF great naval battle.
probably the greatest in the worlds
history, between the japanese ana
Russian fie Is. War correspondents
have furnished the Associated Press
newspapers with simply their opin-
ions Of the movements OF the fleets,
bu, 1t has been noticed that there mas
been a painful silence regarding r the
movements of Togc's fleet. Every
movement of the Russian fee; has
been cabled to The Astorian. and with
the wireless telegraphy system. there
is no doubt but that Admiral Togo has
been informed hourly of every move
ment of the Russian feet. II was GER
tainly a great stragetic movement on
the part Of the Japanese admiral 10
induce Rojestvensky to enter the mar
row Korean straits where he would
have a better opportunity Of annihi-
lating it, than In an open battle on
the high seas.
The information furnished the press
has been misleading and to a great
extent contradictory, but the public
has always manifested implicit con-
fidence in Admiral Togo and his su-
perior fighting prowess. although out
numbered by the Russian feet. The
great battle has come OF and crush
ing defeat administered to the Rus
sian feet sinking or capturing IL OF
the finest Of the Russian fleet. What
effect this will have upon the war
is problamatical. but one thing Is GER
tain. Omyha has made careful prepa-
rations to administer just as crush
ing a defeat to the land forcrs under
Linedvitch and Kuropatkin on land
as was administered by Togo on sea.
There seems to be no doubt but the
result Of the recent Russian defeat
will mean the cessation Of hostilities,
and Japan must certainly have had
this In view when II refused to make
terms Of peace. except as dictated by
itself, and it is in better position 10
day to demand even greater conces-
sions from Russian than ever before.
1t is a recognized fact that Russia
was one of the greatest powers Of the
world and Japan was considered in
significant in comparison, but no SOL
diers will fight for country or flag
that has nothing to fight for. All there
was for them was to perpetuate one

God, for homes and native land. This
is what inspires heroism in the brave
soldiers; il was what contributed to
victory in the war of the rebellion;
in the war with Spain. and is an in
spiration that is productive of victory
in the past and will be in the future.
Every American seems to sympa-
thize with Japan, and this sympathy Is
actuated by the love of liberty and
justice that dwells in every loyal AM
erican breast, and in every loyal sub
jsct Of any other nation where liberty
dwells and tyrany does not rule. Ty-
rany will never make good soldiers,
and success In war is won by nations
where the corner stone is said upon
the grand principles of liberty, truth
and jutsice. Men inspired with love
