The newest of the new officers
strolled into the sergeant's mess to
have look around. He looked ex-
ceedingly young and small, and had
complexion which society beauty
might well have envied. The middle
aged warriors were not at all pleased
at having to "kow-t tow" to this strip
ling, and one gruff-voiced sergeant
O. served audibly: "And aslittle child
shall lead u.s." The young officer did
not appear to notice the remark, and
left the room. Some time later, when
the men had all settled down for the
night, playing cards, etc, he again
entered, and addressing the sergeant
said: "You will assemble the men i'm
mediately for a twenty-mile route
march. And little child shall lead
you; only he'll be on horseback and
you lazy sons of guns will walk"

BRYAN BOASTS JINGOES
 OF ROOSEVELT CLASS. They Want a Few SpOOnfuls of Blood Daily as a Moral Tonic
 Says COmmOner.

SACRAMENTO, July 2S.-As an offset to the war campaign that Theodore Roosevelt is now conduct ing in this state William Jennings Bryan addressed a great meeting in favor of peace here last night. He advocated the use of the proposed two billion and a half war preparation fund for the building of merchant steamships that the United States might increase it's prosperity. Few besides jingoes and those personally interested in the profits accruing from war, said Mir. Bryan in effect, ever consider that the taking of several spoonfuls of blood daily would act as a moral tonic This telling phrase was cheered to the echo and was sup posed to have been a direct answer to the assertions of Roosevelt and others that war would have a good rather than an ill effect on the people.

MOB MURDERS
 A PRESIDENT
DRAG HEAD OF HAYTIEN RE- PUBLIC FROM FRENCH LEGA-
 TION AND SHOOT HIM.

PORT AU PRINCE, July 2S.- Like a horde of bowling savages a great mob of people stormed the French legation in this city this af- ternOOn, dragged President Guil- laume outside the gates and shot him to death in the street President Guillaume had taken refuge in the legation when the gang set fire to his palace and he believed that under the flag of the French republic he was safe. The French minister and mem- bsrs of his staff did all that was pos sible to save the president from his doom, but the mob was apparently carried away by a frenzy that made it incapable of listening to any dic- tates but those of murder. They stormed through the building and when they came to the apartment in which the president was hidden they dragged him forth. It is said that he was almost literally riddled with bullets. Trouble is now expected with France because of the violation of the legation. As a result of the fighting which took place in the streets the city has been set afre in several places and half of it is now aflame, so that a veritable inferno reigns everywhere. It is expected that Bobo will declare himself presi- dent today as his side is now in full control, unless exception be made of a few faithful adherents of the old regime who are still fighting against hopeless odds,
