Jennings was last in Cleveland he was
asked who was, in his opinion, the best

Now. Herman Long might with equal
truthfuluess reply to the same question,
"HUghey Jennings" For Hugey had no
superior in his life as an Oriole.
Hughey was also asked about a famous
play he made in Chicago one day about
twelve years ago, when, according to the
historians, he caught ball and threw it
TO the plate for a double play while he was
still up in the air whittier he had leaped
to intercept the drive.
1T was quite like that" said Hughey.
Il ran into the crowd sitting on the grass
back of third for the fly. The fans started
TO give way, and then began yelling:

Of THE FAR EAST
Growing Liking Among Soldiers for
Service in the Philippine
Islands.

Contrary TO popular Information, Ameri-
can soldiers find service in the Philippines
so much to their liking that soon after
they have revisited home" they wish
they were back east II Is true Of officers,
and 1t is true of men. So far is 1t true
OF enlisted men that General Leonard
Wood. in Of the Department OF
the East, has recommended restrictions on
re-enlistment.
He would have ~privates separated into
two classes-the second class, because OF
lower efficiency, to be refused ~re-enlist-
ment and returned to civil life.
Intimation OF the changed attitude Of
the army toward Philippine service first
came when, the other day, General Wood,
bumped with his automobile a peddler.
The general was hurrying to the review
ing stand OF a Hudson-Fulton parade with
the representative OF a foreign govern
meht. Having stopped to take the peddler
into his car, a policeman came up, saluted,
and said, II served under you, general,
In Mindanao."
when he told me where he had served, :"
said General Wood, II answered, Well.
wouldn't we all enjoy being there again? ?
That is a feeling hat now pervades
the service. You know the east. It has
it's call. But to our soldiers 1t means do
ing a soldiers active work. It is the
field, the trial, the hike There is moth
ing humdrum. Open camp, open air, the
possibility for the enlisted man OF some
thing much more satisfactory than a few
hours leave from routine to go to town
and participate in town amusements-for
instance, a march that may have danger
in II, and fight. You know, perhaps, that
the records OF health there differ but one
third 1 per cent from the record at
hOrpe.
Then there is the circumstance don't
know how far influential-of the 20 per
cent increased pay, and the double time
for Philippine service, l know a sergeant
who, at AZ years of age, Is now entitled
TO retire at 500 a month for the rest OF his
life. Besides, money goes further out

Guides

HAMILTON. Mont. oct. S.-After =
stormy session lasting till after midnight
a large meeting addressed by DR.. Freder-
lex A. Cook tonight adopted a resolution
expressing confidence in the ~veracity Of
Barrill and Printz, the guides who made
a%ffidavlts that Cook did not climb Mount
Mckinley.
The meeting started with an address by
DIR. Cook in which he attacked his enemies
for disputing his claims to having climbed
Mount Mckinley, and declared he would
prove they had sent money %corruptly to
obtain the affidavits against him.
Attorney C~rutchfield. attorney for the
guides, questioned Cook after his address,
and then the excitement broke forth.
Crutchfield challenged Cooks statements,
This brought on a discussion, the fellow
townsmen of the guides taking sides.
]. H. Durston, editor Of the Anaconda
Standard, offered n It solution at this point
asking that the meeting declare a lack Of
faith on the part of the entire people Of
Montana In all matters about which DR..
Cook made claims.
Attorney ROLAND White Of San Francisco,
I who happened to be in the audience, arose
and as a citizen made a plea for fair play.
Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana
also took the floor and urged that fair
play be accorded all parties to the contro-
versy. Neither those who were opposed to
DR.. Cook nor his friends would accept the
! Durston resolution and 1t was withdrawn
by its author.
Edward N. Barrlll, the guide. was called
upon, and taking the platform declared
that DR.. Cooks statements regarding the
Mount Mckinley affair were incorrect.
DR.. Cook replied by asserting to Barrill's
face that the latter's statements were
false.
The excitement at this point was in
tense. Barrill answered by demanding to
know why Cook did not make an affidavit
to the effect that he had scaled Mount
Mckinley.
The challenge had no sooner been Issued
than It was accepted by the doctor and
an affidavit was made by the explorer on
the platform in the presence Of the audi
ence, in which he declared he assembled
Mount Mckinley; that Barrtil was with
him at the time and that the records Of
his ascent were left on the summit OF the
peak.
The dispute waxed warmer, Barrllrs at
torney and friends denouncing Cooks state
ments and the others contendlng for fair
play.
Attorney Wagner then presented this
resolution:
I'VE, the people Of Hamilton and Ra-
vallo counties, assembled. after patiently
listening to the charges and COULTER
charges exchanged by the parties to the
Mount Mckinley controversy do declare
our firm belief in the veracity Of Edward
w. Barrin and Frederick e. Printz."
This was carried by a large majority and
the meeting was closed amid great ex-
element. After the meeting DR.. Cook said
he did not care to discuss the result at
present.

FOLLY
(By B. d. Lorah)

(By B. d. Lorah)
Oh, the folly of the masses,
Oh. that vain and groundless hope,
OF god who burns and blesses
When through deaths door we grope
Oh. the folly Of the people,
Who will rush to church in pain,
AS the bell rings in the steeple.
And their prayers ascend in vain!
Oh, can 1t last forever
Such an ancient, foolish faith
In gods and ghosts and devils,
And all that priests create?
No, for the peoples minds will waken,
Then will true belief begin,
That prayer avails them nothing,
And that god was made by man.
