past. Yet not SO very long past
either. It seems am replaced in
the times when our gallant army
reduced the Moros In the Philip

Those bemighted barbarians had
the mistaken idea that they were
defending their country against
foreign invaders. It would not
penetrate In their savage brains
that because we licked Spain their
country belonged to US. They felt
in an uncivilized way somewhat
like the Belgians do toward the
HUNS. And now comes to my
memory the glorious and efful-

which said water cure In the hands
OF our benevolent soldiery and

of the most efficient means for
