THE MOLLIECODDLES
By FREDERICK WALWORTH BROWN

There being no natural defenses to
protect this wing, it should in com.
mon providence have been flung back
to rest upon the river and thus pre-
sen. a line of fire in the event of a
flanking movement by the enemy.
This was not done, and the Mollie-
coddles were left strung out in air.
Not even the colonel, who had been a
successful merchant, understood the
perlous insecurity of their position,
and the regiment calmly laid itself
down to sleep that night, expecting
battle on the morrow ard confident
of acquitting itself well, but feeling
itself secure for the immediate future.
Anon came n heavy column of the
enemy, driving in the pickets, and
itself arriving on their heels. The
line of battle faced south. The attack
fell from the west.
Two companies succeeded in form
ing, facing about on the new line, and
firing a round or two before they were
overwhelmed. Then the regiment,
and after it the brigade, was rolled
up, telescoped, crushed, with hardly
a chance to fire a shot.
1t was not their fault. The best
and most seasoned regiment in the
army could have done no better un-
der the circumstances
But when the maior-general had
collected the shattered remnant OF his
forces on the safe side OF the river,
he felt the need of a scapegoat, as
the colonel had OWNED, and recog-
nized the Molliecoddles as the logical
and helpless candidates for the posi-
ton.
He nominated them accordingly in
his report, and the army, bitter over
defeat and not at all understanding,
instantly elected them unanimously
In two days the whole country knew,
beyond hope of refutation, that the
Molliecoddles had brought disaster on
the division by conspicuous cowardice
in the face of the enemy.
The Molliecoddles, battered and
still dazed, reviewed the situation
with a sort of savage bewilderment
Individually they knew they were not
towards, Collectively they were in
articulate. uncertain, perpleXed.
Consequently they suffered many
things, though by no means with
meekness. There were black eyes
and broken heads in neighboring regi-
ments, and lively lust for blood and
slaughter in the minds of the Mollie.

In the meantime they were detailed
to the rear to guard the baggage

,yoi flowed in bitter murmurings
gainst their lot. But Fate had her
= upon ,,,cr', and while they were
. It in the iuood to kick out viciously
at le touch of a feather, she sent
them a golden opportunity.

fact which has been repeatedly stated
during the present campaign.
Surely, that fact" and many more
of its kind, have been put before the
public repeatedly, but | WOULD like to
know if it was really the absence of the
tariff that caused Oregon lumber com
bine, at n meeting some months ago,
to advance the price of all grades of
lumber and explain that the increase
was caused by demand which was in
excess of the supply.
| would also inquire if the fact that
have to pay several dollars 4 thousand
more for all except the cheapest grades
of lumber, than / did few years ago,
is due to the absence of the tariff.
The millmen are telling uslthat they
cannot get ears to carry their product
to fill their orders, and that mill after
mill has shut down for want of storage
room for the lumber they are unable
to ship and for which orders are pouring
in. OF course, the Wilson administra.
tion is to blame for this, too.
On the first column of page of the
same paper we are told of the forma-
tion of Il combine o. "4S out of 80 of
the leading cargo mills of the Pacific
coast" to develop foreign trade. Is it
because these mills expect tariff pro-
