when they finally completed the rude
floating platform and in all that time
Strain and his party had not tasted
food. When they had finished the
raft they looked about for something
to eat and found a few nuts. with
which they filled their stomachs.
Then. two men floating on the raft
and the other two walking along on
the rivers bank, they journeyed on
toward the Pacific. Once they shot
and ate a monkey and at rare inter-
walls bird was brought down.
The men were nearly naked, the
bushes and briers of the jungle hav-
Ing ripped their clothes from them
as they forced their way through.
Strains entire uniform consisted now
of shirt and one boot When he saw
that his watch had stopped, although
ne had been careful to wind it, he was
seized with strange, superstitious
horror. for 1t seemed to him as If time
itself had refused to register the
hours of their terrible wanderings in
the wilderness.
Finally on March 9 some fisher
men from the little village of Yavisa,
down the stream (Which proved to he
the Chucunagua river). came upon
the distressed men and took them to
the settlement.
Rescue of Truxt0n.
Strain, with a rescue party, re-
turned up the river, and finally, on
March %, he came upon the remnants
of Truxton's command. They were in
a pitiable condition. Four of the par
ty. including the two Colombian COM
missioners, had died, and the next
morning three more were to be left
to their fate. The men were lying
about almost naked and changed to
CHASTITY skeletons.
when Strain first reached Yavisa
he was unable to control his own
craving for food; and while he re-
fused to let the men with him eat as
much as they wanted to. so that
Golden. who had been much weaken
ed, sobbed himself to sleep in cor
ner, crying for food. the commander
ate abundantly. and, as result, was
laid up for two days. suffering the
most .excruciating agonies.
1.-THE resculng expedition had gone
up the river as fast as it could in
small paddle-wheel steamer, making
.A'S .Soe VI IuC way dCIOSS Ill canoes.
AS the canoes approached the steamer
on the return down the river with the
rescued men. Strain asked if the flag
with which the party had started on
their march had been saved McGuin-
ness, a young sailor of the Cayne, said
that he had it. 1t had been intrusted
to him originally, and through all his
hardships he had preserved it. He
had carried it wrapped around his
breast, and in spite of wounded feet
and fostering limbs that needed band
ages. in spite of the\ fact that his
clothing had been torn from him until
he was almost naked. though blank
cts, haversacks and even weapons had
been thrown away. the brave youth
had refused to apply the sacred piece
of bunting to his own use or to aban-
don it,"

lowed to take the hook. He broke
it and all attempts to make another
failed. They shot and ate turkey
buzzards and even greedily devoured
the body Of dead and half decom-
posed iguano, which they found.
When bird was shot the officers
would suck the blood and give the
flesh to the men.
Heard Queer SQUADS.
Sometimes they would hear,
through the awful stiffness of the for
ests, distant booming. 1t was the
sound Of trees falling from their own
weight in old age and decreptitude.
A horror as of something supernatur-
al. seized them. 1t seemed as If they
had entered some labyrinth in which
they were condemned to wander on
and on until death released them from
suherings. Yet all the time discip-
line was preserved as If they had still
been on board the Cayano.
THE river had most tortuous
course, and in order to shorten their
course they began to cut pathways
across the bends of the stream. In
doing this one day they lost the river
entirely. 1t was only after two days
of wandering and frequent changes
of direction that they came out again
on the banks of the stream. In the
meantime they suffered from thirst
as we'll as hunger.
Strain and Truxton used to in
dulge in peculiar pastime. When at
night in their camps of misery the
worn skeletons of what had once been
sturdy sailors were sleeping their
troubled sleep around them. the two
officers would amuse themselves by
describing to each other the dinners
they would have when they got back
to Gods own country once more.
Each would describe to the other in
minute detail a great feast which he
had been planning as he struggled
along in the never-ending journey
that day, and each dish would be dis
cussed with the most gravity, there
being frequent arguments as to the
advisability of having this or that dish
In one course or in another. One of
the things which sustained the Off
GERS through the hunger, the fatigue
and suffering of the day was the an
ticipation Of reveling in these feasts
when they went into camp at night.
Strain determined to take with him
three OF the strongest men and by
forced marches try to reach the coast,
whence he could send back help up
the river to the rest of the party. On
Feb. IS Strain officially placed Trux-
ton in command of the main body and
giving him instructions to follow
down the river as fast as the condi-
ton of the men would permit, he him
self. with his three chosen men. start
ed on his forced march.
Dash for the COast.
THE first day OF Strains dash for
the coast was most discouraging
one, for after day of great toll he
was obliged, on account of the
swamps and jungles. to make again
for the rivers banks. That night he
encamped only 200 yards below the
place he had left in the morning. At
that rate the party would perish be-
fore they could get through to the
sea.
Strain determined to build raft,
and to try and float down the river.
They had nothing to cut the logs with
except a machete, and it was slow
work. When the logs finally had been
cut they were dashed together with
strips of canvas torn from Strains
hayersack. Two days had elapsed

A GIRLS PARADISE.
That's What Miss Anna Ide SAYS Nh.
Mia Is.

Miss Anna Ide. who is to marry w.
Bourke Cochran, is in Chicago after
several years of life in Manila.
THE only strong minded women in
Manila" said Miss Ide, with a quaint
manner of hesitation. ARE some of the
upper class Filipino women. They
have clubs and talk of rights and
privileges and go into politics and
affairs of state. But the American
women are too busy having a good
time to bother about clubs OF any
kind
All the older women play bridge,
put the girls in Manila haven't time
for that. They have too many other
things to do to enjoy bridge. Manila
Is paradise for girls.
Manila, you know, is gay and giddy.
Every one there has the native spirit
OF irresponsibility and there is nothing
to live for but enjoyment. Manila
is by no means an exile It's plea
sure, dances all the time and every
sort OF party except an ice carnival.
There are the army set and the navy
set and the official set and all tn,
government representatives, and the
civilians whose business brings them
10 Manila. There are representatives
of neary every nation out there. There
are cliques and cliques, but in general
there is no line drawn. Every one
knows every one.
I'VE all absorb the spirit of gayety,
If We haven't had it before we get
it there. and We have a glorious time.
!The upper class Filipinos mix in
with the foreigners to some extent;
but they are dreadfully formal. They
never give nor attend informal affairs.
They would not know how to behave
at them. You see, the upper class
Filipino is in every custom and tradi-
ton Spaniard, and the Spaniard is
the most formal person in the world.
The women in Manila dress very
we'll; indeed, more gayly than than
the gowns, such as pine apple cloth
and Chinese grass cloth. but they
have their clothes cut in the latest
style. So many are coming and going
from Europe and the United States
that the town is not behind the fash
ions at ALL
Nearly every one wears white on

TWO THOUSAND BALES BURNED.
While Compress at Macon is Practi-
caIIy Ruin Also.

Ca}ly a ASuIn SESOs
Dawson cotton circles were greatly
interested in the very disastrous fire
which swept over one of Macon 5
largest cotton congresses Thursday
morning, that of the Atlantic Com
press Company, doing vast damage
and burning 1000 bales of cotton.
The property loss is roughly esti-
mated at a quarter of a million dol
lars, and is probably fully insured,
both the plant and cotton.
The fire broke out about s O'Clock
and spread with great rapipity, the
flames fairly sweeping over the sea of
bales piled beneath the sheds of the
press.
Despite the efforts of the firemen
the flames eat theirway into the press,
and it was afternoon ere the fire was
checked. Over 1000 bales of cotton
were burned, to say nothing of the
damage to the press, and the loss may
well reach $3.50, 900.
The press was large one, and To-
Gated near the carshed. 1t is not
known as yet just how the fire orr
pinated.

Resolutions Adopted on the iDeath Oh

Lodge No. 229, F. and A. M; We,
the committee appointed by the Wor-
shipful Master to draft memorial res
olutions on the death of our worthy
brother, George c. Patterson, beg to
submit the following:
Whereas, Almighty God, in His d.
vine providence, has seen tit to call
the soul of a beloved brother from this
earth to its heavenly reward on the
night of February 81, 1906. while yet
in the prime of useful life, when
manhood's morning had scarcely
reached high noon. Brother Patter-
son was born in Sumter county, Ca,
December II. 1864, and was con-
verted and joined the Presbyterian
church in Atlanta in 1888, which
faith he kept until his death. He re-
ceived his education in the common
schools of the state and at Mercer
University, and by hard study and
constantly applying himself became
we'll qualified to pursue his chosen
profession and give instruction to his
pupils. At the time of his death he
was principal of the Doverel public
school; he was loved by his entire
school, and commanded the respect
and esteem of the community. Broth
err Patterson was a model citizen. A
number of times have we seen him
pointed to with pride and admiration
as one whom the youths of our COM
munity should strive to emulate.
For a number of years he had been
cOnsecrated Mason. having been
raised in the lodge at Weston, Ca,
while in his twenty-trSt year. His ev-
ery-day life was a beautiful exempliti-
cation of all the teachings of our an
cient and honorable order. We were
always proud to say That man is a
Mason" He was indeed a bright
light in the Masonic fraternity. and
although in poor health for several
years past, and living number of
miles from the lodge he never failed
to attend the meetings when it was
possible. He was faithful brother,
| tried and true: he was a loyal friend,
useful citizen and a devoted hus-
band. He enjoyed the confidence, love

his noble character will ever find a
cherished place within the chambers
of our memory. He leaves a wife,
Mrs. Rosa Lee Patterson; two sisters,
Mrs. S. M. Tewksbery of Columbus,
Ca, founder of the May Tewksbery
Mission, and Mrs. Mary J. Carter, also
of Columbus, and one brother, Hon.
D. Z. Patterson of Bolton, Texas, to
mourn his death. His body now rests
within the silent tomb, but his spirit
has flown to its eternal home above.
They called him from the better land,
And one bright angel led the way;
He saw the angels reckoning hand
And knew he could no longer stay.
| On, white-robed peace, thy gentle cross
Gave to his trusting heart no pain,
And that which is our earthly loss
Is his eternal gain.
God is a spirit, we can trust
That he has left earth's shadows dim
And laid aside his earthly dust
To grow in likeness unto Him.

And closely folded to His breast
