John Fiske made no such charge
against the soldiers of Washington IN
either of the volumes referred to By
Secretary Baker. Even more certain
il il that Fiske never portrayed the
troops at Valley Forge as characters In
any way similar to the bandit hordes OF
Mexico. The great historian, on the
contrary, dilates on the restraint OF
even the irregular bands which were
active at the time and which probably
would be more likely to commit e1-
cesses than the regular troops.
Writing of Francis Marion, whom ne
describes as the greatest partisan COM
mander of the time, Fiske says:

Urrn sun Correspondent q ms rrsDeos)


Syracuse. Oct. 2S.-An oh-fashioned
torchlight parade, with music and req
fire, the torch bearers all wearing
raudy uniforms, blazed the trail for
Governor Whitman and William M.
Calder, candidate for United States
Senator, on their arrival here tonight
Ten speeche. were made by each OF
the candidates after their train iel'
Albany this morning. While inc
crowds along the line were larger than
usual, none approached the size OF TO-
nights meeting here in the "ietng
Opera House, or the overflow meeting
in the streets, where two thousand
listened to Republican speakers.
While the Governor wss inside at
lacking his Democratic opponent, MI.
Calder was addressing the overflow and
replying to a well organized group oil
becklers. In the early part OF his
speech Mr.. Calder was interrupted
every few seconds by thick tongued
man, who shouted, "Ray for peash'n
prushper'tyl" He departed when given
his choice by a policeman Of going
home or going to Jail for intoIication.
The Governor trained his batteries
to-day on the speech of Samuel Sea-
bury at Schenectady Saturday night
On this score the Governor said:
Judge Seabury Is reported to have
said in a speech at Schenectady that
If Governor Whitman had desired 20
take the first step toward genuine pre-
paredness, he would have taken action
TO improve the equipment OF the Ma
tional Guard. II this had been done,
the members of our National Guard
would not have been sent 10 the Mex
lean border in condition Of unpre-
paredness.'
at is the charitable view to believe
that Judge Seabury does not know that
the equipment of the National Guard IL
matter solely within the control Of
the Federal authorities.
"Just think of il. The man who
aspires to be commander In chief Of
New York's armed forces, does not even
know where our boys get their guns.
Or it may be that he does and is DELHI
erately insulting the intelligence of
his audiences"

Well, OF course. Mr.. Goat had to dc
so. after his wife asked him like that
So he poked his head out of the up
stairs window, over the front door
and he called out
Who is down there?"
I'm burglar fox!" was the an.

And at that Billie and Mamie began

gan looking II a whistle. with which
to call polio man dog but he couldn't

Then the burglar fox started in
breaking down the door. so that he

find his gun.
"Oh, well all be killed." cried Mrs,
Goat. "Oh. ii some one would only

But can't find my gun said Mr..

NO natter answered the brave

Quick, Mamie. make me a big paper
lantern"
Well, the little goat girl stopped cry
ing then and she got her paper. and
her scissors, and The paste pot, and
she began to make a paper lantern. as
big as water pail. Uncle Wiggily
and Billie helped her. And all the
while the burglar fox was banging on

Let me in. Let me In"
Quick, is the lantern ready" ask

Here it is" said Mamie. So the
rabbit gentleman took it. all nicely
made as it was. and inside of it he put
a hot. blazing candle And the lantern
was so big that the candle didn't burn
the sides of the paper.
Then Uncle Wiggi!y tied the Ian
ten to a string and he lowered it right
down out o. the window down in
front OF the burglar fox. and the hot
candle in the lantern burned the fox's
rose. and he thought it was police
man climbing down out tree to catch
him. and before you could count forty
'leven the bad burglar fox ran away,
and so he didn't rob the goats after
all And. oh, how thankful Mamie
