Capt. Morey's Letter.

Probably when all is known the fight
at Carrizal will prove to have been
most heroic affair on the part of the
American soldiers, led into trap and
ambushed while in conference. From
one source and another is coming the
true tale of this combat, every detail of
which thus far reflects the highest credit
upon the soldiery of the Americans
Capt. Morey's letter, written as he was
wounded and lying in hole about
1000 yards from the scene of the fight,
greatly outnumbered, fought valiantly.
and indicates that perhaps they would
have won their way out of the trap had
their mounts not been stampeded by an
encircling force which crept around
them from the town. Capt. Morey's
own experiences make most dramatic
story in themselves. Left by his men
to die in the desert. at his own com
mand, he and two other wounded men
made their way painfully back to the
American lines 1t is a creditable char
acteristic of the American soldier that
Capt. Morey took early advantage of
his escape from the massacre to write
a formal report of the happenings for
the information of his government. This
letter, and probably his own statement,
in event of his recovery from his
wounds, will form a valuable connect
ing link in the accounts of the battle
thus far given by the struggling troops.

WANTED GREEN IN SHIRT.

One With Orange Stripes.

nifty in shirts something with a
classy green stripe said Dan Mckee
of Soho street. as he went into the
mems furnishing store of Emil de
Saints, in Webster avenue. The lone
clerk evidently did not notice all the
specifications of McKee's order and
listlessly drew out at random the first
box of shirts his hand touched. Pick
ing the top shirt out, he laid it before
Mckee.
There's somthing nice" he began.
"Oh, is itT yelled Mckee
Things happened in rapid succession
for a few minutes, during which the
clerk ran for a policeman. A show
case was smashed and haberdashery
strewn about the floor.

at the hearing next morning, what
on earth made you try to wreck that
store?"

HE USED A BOY

err hand under his chin. The lecturer
looked steadily at the people before
him for moment before he remarked
impressively:
You see | have put one hand under
the boys chin. | did that 80 that |
might divide his head from his body
for you If you were to take all of
this boy that lies below the hand un.
der his chin and train it and educate
it as carefully as possible, what would
it sell for in the market where men
are bought and sold? 1t would bring
about $3.50 a day You'd have a fine
strong day laborer, wouldn't you?
Now let's see what about the rest
of this boy, the small portion between
my two hands, his head. Suppose we
give it real training. Suppose we give
that hidden part we call the brain, a
real, strong, fine education. What's
the boy worth now? Can you buy him
in the market where men are bought
and sold for $3.50? You have lifted
him absolutely out of that class and
the price he can command has grown
UNNECESSARILY.
What I've been striving to do is to
make you see what possibilities lie in
the boys and girls everywhere. want
you to think of the little school houses
throughout the State as training
places for this limitless portion of
each child's life. | want you to see to
it that your children and your neigh
boris children have a place where this
training may be done at its best"

me have a small boy on the platform
