that's ALL" said Samson. Hes young
and the wound will heal"
1t was we'll for Harry that he was
out of the way Of all this, and entered
upon adventures which absorbed his
thought. AS to what was passing with
him we have conclusive evidence In
two letters, one from Col. Zachary
Taylor, In which he says:
Harry Needles Is also recommend
ed for thesmost intrepid conduct as a
scout and for securing information of
great value. Compelled to abandon
his wounded horse he swan river
under fire and under the observation
OF three of our officers, through whose
help he got back to his command,
bringing bullet in his thigh"
With no knowledge of military SER
vice and company of unframed men,
Abe had no chance to win laurels in
the campaign. His command did not
get in touch with the enemy. He had
his hands full maintaining decent re-
gard for discipline among the 'raw
frontiersmen of his company.
When the dissatisfied volunteers
were mustered out late In May, Kelso
and Mcneil, being sick with stubborn
fever. were declared unfit for service
and sent back to New Salem as soon
as they were able to ride. Abe and
Harry Joined Captain Hes company
Of Independent Rangers and a month
or SO later Abe re-enlisted to serve
with Captain Early, Harry being under
surgeons care. The latters wound
was not serious and on July third he
too Joined Early's command.
This company was chiefly occupied
in the moving Of supplies and the bury
ing Of few men who had been killed
In small engagements with the enemy.
1t was band Of rough-looking fellows
in the costume Of the frontier farm
and workshop-ragged, dirty and un-
shorn. The company was disbanded
July tenth at Whitewater, Wisconsin,
where, that night, the horses of Harry
and Abe were stolen. From that point
they started on their long homeward
tramp with a wounded sense of de-
cency and justice. They felt that the
Indians had been wronged. that the
greed Of land grabbers had brutality
violated their rights. This feeling had
been deepened by the massacre Of the
red women and children at Bad AK.
A number Of mounted men went
with them and gave them ride now
and then. Some Of the travellers had
little to eat on the journey. Both Abe
and Harry suffered from hunger and
sore feet before they reached Peoria,
where they bought canoe and in the
morning Of bright day started down
the Illinois river.
They had long day Of comfort In

FACTS VERSUS OPINIONS.

An eastern exchange referred to
the fact that Gilbert K. Chesterton, a
noted English writer who is lectur-
ing in this country, said in his first
lecture that he had come seriously to
the conclusion that the most pro-
found criticism of the education and
culture Of the present time was to be
found in an utterance which he at
tributed to Artemus Ward, but which
ii we are not mistaken belongs 10
Josh Billings: at amt SO much peo-
pies ignorance that does the harm as
their knowing so darned much that
amt so.'
This is suggestive Of a Vast amount
OF writing and talking just now cur
rent about business conditions. and
particularly about the manipulation
of markets against the farmers. The
following paragraph is taken from q
recent article in a weekly publication
OF high class and large circulation:
THE markets are crowded with
crops at n season and r almost
empty OF them at all others. This
means that when the farmer is har-
vestins his years return, his products
bring him in the least. They are
bought up by spectators when they
are cheap and wnen the farmer must
sell in order to get money to pay his
Dllis, and hen the dealers manipulate
The amour they will let loose on the
market until harvest time comes
again, and at prices to meet their
own speculative and immoral wishes"
The publication quoting the above
then appends the figures or grain
prices supplied by George H. john
ston, of Wales, n. D., and recently
published in The Herald, which fig
ures upset these speculat5ons entirely.
The recommendation is made that
these figures be studied to the end
ilat d peter understanding OF the
hituation may be reached. It is I'M
lu!taEately true that the people who
ats doing the most shouting are i'm
.isr.ous to lacts OR figures. They
nave cache certain conclusions and
aAopteu certain theories. II the facts
.r not in accord with these theories,
..ic Facts must lie wrong.

BERGDoLL

The unfortunate thing about the
whole Bergdoll business is that Berg
doll e got away. This young man,
reared in wealth I'M luxury, played
the part of a Stacker and q coward
during the war. Subjected, as other
men of his age were, to the draft reg
ulations, he failed to respond, and
when search was made for him he Sc
creted himself. Finally discovered
and placed under arrest, he was, held
for many months while his mother.
using her wealth to employ the best
legal talent available, took advantage
of every technicality in the law to OBJ
tain his freedom. The case was fin
ally brought to trial, and the man was
convicted before a proper court and
sentenced to imprisonment.
The conditions surrounding his es-
cape have never been made clear to,
the public. Just how or why he was
permitted the liberty that was grant
ed him has never been cleared up
but it is certain that there was either
gross official negligence or official COL
fusion which aided in his escape.
Search for the escaped p%risoner has
been made all over the country, but
he has finally turned up in Germany,
where it appears that he has taken
out naturalization papers. Next to the
~penitentiary, Germany is the best
place for him, but it is exasperating
RI <hinI ~ tL;c fo11oxp 4o-,1rl
ven that he is, enjoying a life of ease
and spending an American fortune
which was made secure for him by
the %privation and suffering of real
men some of whom died in the per-
Torrance Of their task. and others are
bearing on their SCARED bodies the
marks of their service.
The men who attempted to abduct
Bergdoll and spirit him out of Ger
many meant we'll, eve if their method
was illegal. 1t is to be hoped that
their violation of military regulations
will be dealt with as %leniently as the
circumstances will allow. Their effort
would probably have been futile, even
if they had succeeded in getting their
prisoner across the line. Germany
and the United States are still tech
tnically at war; but they are. operating
under the armistice compact which
provides for a cessation of hostilties
and lays down regulations for the con-
duct Of the forces of each unit
The invasion of the territory of eth
er by members Of the armed forces
of the other would undoubtedly be
held to be a violation Of that agree
ment.
