Night fell and the Tagalogs were all - unsus pivious of the approach of tlie white enemy,” At threo o'élock in the morn. Ang, when sleep always hangs heavy on the eves, Hell led his men toward the village. The Tagalogs had sentinels posted along an outlying line. After the manner of the people of the plaina . the soldiers erept silently between the pickets, only ono. of whom was vigl lant enough to detect the {)re’.-~u'lh‘v'~uf the eneniy. Ho was silenced before hn

Bell had given his men orders. The vilInge was:cordoned with troops and there wasn't & mouschole of escape. lell bas a whimsical hunmior. In the very heart of the Tagalog viliage -was an old wmuzzle-loading brass cannon, a trophy taken by the Tagalogs from the Spaniards of another day, and which the natives were hoping to tise againgt the equally hated Americans. Bell detailed a loading party of three men. The three became boys again, and they rammed the piece full of powder and grass wadding after the manner of loading a Fourth of July cannon on the village green in the home land. " The light of coming day was sgtrong enough for the conducting of operations. A lanyard was pulled and the brazen piece roared out its reveille, The sound of it shook the foundations of the Tagalog hits; it roused the warrior sleepers as would .the cracking of doomsday. They came armed, but naked to the fray. The Tagalogs looked on bavobnet points and down gun barrels and surrender came instanter. : Gen. J. Franklin Bell is the youngest officer who ever held the position of chief of staff. He is a genial general and he is willing to talk when he properly may on the subjects touching his profession. As the joker put it, he is a Bell who knows when to ring off. He avoids the sins of silence and of speech, wherein he shows that he is wiser in his generation than some ‘of his predecessors were in their generation. When his promotion came-the chief of staft jumped from a -captaincy to a brigadier generalship, and his tremendous rank stride did not bring forth one word of criticism from soldier or civilan. Since then he has become a major general. The army officers who were jumped said that Bell earned his promotion, and that if other promotions were, like his, based solely on service quality, there would be no heart burnings under the blouses. . - . When the Seventh cavalry, in which Gen. Bell was then a lieutenant, reached the Philippines, ‘the Spanish troops were still in possesion, for Dewey had reduced the fleet, but not Matila city and its immediate defenses. Information was wanted concerning the Spanish earthworks. Lieut. ‘Bell volunteered to get it. He didn't tell any one 2

Datapgas. He ended ity and in ending it he tGoK the oniy course possible - course that the civilians at a distance from the fighting denounced as altogether too severe. Bell was called 8 second Wevler, and a second duke of Alva, but when f(ull knowledge came of his operations and of the craft and horrid cruelly of thé natives whom he was fighting, criticism died. Of his experience and of the criticism bhe sald in a letter to a {riend: “Klmwing my disposition and kindly f{eeling toward the natives full well, you will have no difficulty in understanding that the necessity for severe measures has been 8 source of distress to me. The only consolation 1 can derive is by keeping my thoughts on the end and object in view. When one has worked faithfully, conscientiously, and "unselfishly for his country four years, without relaxation or rest, it {s somewhat discouraging, not to say distressing, to find that even some of his own countrymen appear to have no confidence in his motives, judgment or integrity” . There is no use in mincing words; ‘Gen. Bell Is considered one of the most daring and dashing officers {n the Americanm service. He wears a ‘medal of honor for charging “single-handed and alone,” a body of armed Filipinos. He was shot at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army parlance: “They didn't get him,” but he got sev--en of them, not dead, but alive, and he led back to the American lines, his septet of prisoners, all cowering under his pointed pistol, though every man jack of them was-armed. " It war were to come there is no army doubt, although he is far from being the ranking officer of the service, that Gen. Bell would be given the ‘chief command of the field forces. : : .0 % ¥ @ It needs neither the bearing nor the uniform of Lieut. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee (retired), to show that he is a soldier.

During the érop year 1905-06 our more important farm products, which - were hauled from the places Where they originated to shipping points, weighed in the aggregate 85.487,000 pounds. The average length of haul of farm products in the United States {s 9.4 miles. Hence, a saving of 14 cents a mile per ton would have meant to our farmers a gain of $58.-

The Japs got thetr first object lesson in the way American solliers do

things from Gen Chaffee. That ob’ ject lessont doubtless has had some inftuepce in modifying the thought which the orientais held that they could whip the Americans out of hand Geon Chaflee was in command of the expedition which went to the reliel of the beleaguered embassies at Peking Japanose officers and men saw. him there. The general won a fame in China which Is not confined to the American continent The generals of Europe have given testtmony that Adpa R. Chaflee is a great soldier. Orders to take command of the Chinese expedition reached Gen, Chaffee while he was at Nagasaki on board a steamer which was to take him to thé Phil ippihes. The order was unexpected, and the general had practically no chance for eampaign preparations He was to go into a strange land, to lead an expedition against a strange peaple, and not only was it expected of him that he be successful, but that success be won quickly, for the Jives of many Americans were in danger within sight of the walls of the “Forbidden City.” o The general arrived at Tientsin too late to take part in the battle in which the brave Mal Liscum of the Ninth infantry lost his life. Not only was the American soldier spurred to quick marching action by the knowledge of the imminent peril of the Americans at Peking, but he

was spurred by the knowledge that the soldiers of other pations were to take part-in t?w relie! expedißion, and he wished the men of his own country th show themselves W s,,\rzh‘y in the sight of the n_‘pnénf other countrivs.’ : i They did show themselves worthy, and they re R{Nilllit‘;i 10 the call of their rm;umm_iur with an alacrity that made the American leaders instéad of i\"il;_»\“i’!'i in that march b-.-&v: with difficuities and dangers almost unparalieled in wodern war fare : There are men in the army today who firmly !wi:'.;{‘n that Gen. Chaltee did not sleep an hour R.‘tumz;.; the march to Peking. The soldiers who made the march declare that the nights in China are black: that it is Lnpossible to see anything at all without the aid of artificial light, and these in the bivouscs of the soldiers were forbidden for precautionary reasons. There was no definite knowledge of the forces that might be in the path , of the expedition, and po one knew what surprises the pight might cover. Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers gay, constituted himselfl a sentinel wbo refused to be relfeved. from guard. and through the nights he was alert and watching, and through the days he was alert and marching. : There are stories by the scores of men who are supposed to bear charmed lives. The hero of the book of fiction sheds bullets as a slate roof sheds rain, and in the reading of it one finds it hard to believe that any truth could be stranger than this fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear a charmed life he has the largest allowance of luck that has fallen to any one man. . Gen. -Chaffee has been four times brevetted for bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to him for gallantry in the civil war service, and two for gallantry in battles with the Indians.. He once . led a cavalry charge over rough and precipitous bluffs, where a cavalry charge was thought to be ~a feat well-nigh impossible. , : He rode at the head of his men straight into a - body of armed Indians, scattering them, but not until they had poured volley after volley into Chaffee’'s oncoming command. That charge gave the soldier his brevet commission as a lieutenant colonel.” When the Spanish-American war broke out Chaflee was made a brigadier general of volunteers. He was in the very thick of the fighting in front of Santiago. Capt. Arthur Lee, a British army officer detailed by his government to watch the field operations in Cuba, attached himself to the headquarters of Gen. Chaffee. Capt. Lee wrote & story about the campaign in which he paid to Gen. Chaffee the highest tribute that it is possible - for one soldier to pay to another. i

According to the freight figures of the interstate commerce commission about 250,000,000 tons are now annually hauled to points of shipment. Were our roads equal to those of France the annual gain in hauling, based on these figures, would be $305,000,000.—Outlook. | Rather, Away from It.

Love of home is one of the many Joves that the birds have in common With ourselves, and an overpowering {nstinct is implanted in them that before the mating season ljeads them back to the places where they were reared. Possibly you have considered birds as airy beings who sing and float about among the cool summer trees, living at ease on the fat of the land, and have envied. them their freedom alike from work and care. This idea will vanish as soon as you can call a dozen birds intimately by pame and watch their choice of a home site, thelir exquisite skill in nest weaving, and their untiring labor In supplying the young with food until they are able to take wing for themselves.

They may be born with a tendency to disease, because one or both parents are suffering from it. As we kinow, certain conditions favor the development of certain diseasea.
