The part that the South has borne In the Spanish struggle and In the far eastern conflict, which is Us outgrowth, is brought to attention with an accentu ated interest by the death of this sol dier of Dixie. It is true that some of the slates below the Mason and Dixon line had some difficulty in filling their quotas of enlisted men, but of a truth the southern officers have borne their full share of the heat and burden of the fray. Since the war of secession there ha3 been a feeling at West Point and in the army that the sons of the men who followed the stars and bars from Call's Bluff to Appomatox would hall the coming of a foreign war In which they might fight under the folds of the stars and stripes. The long list of the officers killed and wounded during the struggles of th" last eighteen months Include a large snare pr southern names. An larg snare or tne names known to the South- land may be found In the list of the of- fleers of the army and navy who during me same ume nave distinguished themselves for heroism.

Andrew ; S. Rowan, Virginian and West Pointer, 1 dared death In a similar way by plerc- Ing to the heart of Cuba before any I other American soldier had set foot on ' ' its soil. ' Twenty years ago there entered West ' Point with the writer of this article two southern boys William E. Shipp and William H. Smith. They met each other for the first timet as they left the terry boat to toll up the steep hill lead-1 ing to the hotel. Their orders of ap-. pointments as cadets gave them until the next day to report for examination.- The two young southerners occupied samero(,m at the hotel- they pase.i. j xneir examinations toemer; tneyj i tented together during the troublesome; i months of pleb camp; thy roomed to-1 ' gather during the four years of their! ! cadet course, and finally joined the 'same regiment as second lieutenants, the Tenth United States cavalry. We 'he Portland Telegram of some state used to speak of Smith and Shipp as' ments made to him by a member of the Damon and Pythias, and more than I Northwest mounted police, which, if once it was Jocosely remarked that in! accurate, throw some light on the ear dramatlc end thfey ought to die to- ,i.r Sml'.h and Shipp were shot and killed within five minut-s while they were leading their dismounts! black troopers up the slopes of San Juan hill. During the time that I spent at. the United States military academy Shipp was my close friend. For a year he and his roommate's quarters were close to mine. One day, forgetting the fa:t that Shipp was from North Carolina, I loaned him Albion W. Tourgee's "A Fool's Errand." The scene of the book Is laid In Shlpp's home, and many of his friends and relatives are roundly abused In It. Shipp read the story and said: "The man who wrote this story had unreasoning hatred in his heart. I hope to show him some day that some love of country is possible in the despised place." The fullfillment of this hope came when he fell swrd in hand on the hill of San Juan. In the same West Point class with Cadets Shipp and Smith was John W. Heard of Mississippi. Heard In now a captain In the Third United States caalry. On the way to take part In the battles before Santiago the trans- port to which Heard and his Immediate command were assigned ran close to a point of land where a large parly of Spaniards were in ambush. The deck of the transport was swept by Mauser bullets for half an hour. Tt w:iti nee. YoutigMen's Clothing WtiiWi We are selling twice as imuh young men's clothing this year u- we did a year ago.

One of the returned Klondikers tells ly history of the Tukon regions. The question of whether the northern gold diggings wre worked generations ago had not been satisfactorily an swered although more than fone au thority had asserted that they were. Thre is no doubt of the existence of evidence of the fact that the country has a prehistoric story. That much is concaded. Rut as to less ancient rela tions of the Klondike there exists more of guesswork than fact cn which to base a conception of what has been. According to the Tukon policeman there Is a creek running Into the Tukon river about thr-.-e miles below Rink rapids on which very recently have be-n found extensive diggings, partial ly worked, it is presumed more than 100 years ago. The supposition is that the men who dug gold at tills spot were either Hudson Bay Company men or Russians. Five Fingers Is Just seven miles above. The location Is described as being near the creek's confluence with the Tatohen river, no name being given to the oreek. Time has made Its effacements In the viclt'lty. Especially Is this so with the Tatchen river, between which and the unnamed creek lies only a range of: hills The Tatchen Is presumed to have! been In prehistoric days the main ! Lewis or Tukon river, before the waterl worked Itself through Five Fingers and ! created the present Tukon.

Corporal dure. Scanlon was marching his tx-at outside of an officer's residence at League Isl and navyyard.near Philadelphia, when a servant girl In the officer's household Joined him. The officer came upin the couple suddenly, much to the confusion of both, as Corporal Scanlon hud his arm arnd the maid's waist. Charges of unsoldlery conduct and neglect of duty were preferred by the officer against Corporal Scanlon. A court-martial was ordered, much to the astonishment of Corporal Scanlon, who, b"lng a soldier, could not understand why lie was not privileged to niuke love to a prtty girl at any and at all times. Several Interesting questions were In volved In the case. Was It unsoldlerly to make love to a girl while on guard? Was Corporal protecting public or pri vate property in standing guard before an oTlcer'a residence? Can a soldier keep his arm around a girl and his eyo on property which he is charged with guarding at the same time?

Some years ago Glfford obtained from the State of Indiana deeds to 33.000 acres of swamp land at a very small price.. For five years he kept a steam dredge, working day and night, with the result that more than seventy-five miles of main ditches were dug. Several hundred miles of tile drains cross and reeross thfie ditches, and today the profits on the land are onm-mrttla Boys' Clothing Someliody's small boy is going to be mightily satisfied with himself when his mamma gets him one of those new capo coats that have just come.
