ROUGH RIDER STORY.
Account of a Perilous Dash Past the
Spanish Lines
WITH MESSAGE TO WHEELER.
Mounted Dead Messenger’s Horse
and Proceed ed Amid a Shower
of Bullets.
Chicago, August 24.—“ We ad
vanced up San Juan hill. Spaniards
were lying in the trenches all
around at our feet. Roosevelt yelled:
•Give it to them, boys,’ We fought.
That’s till.”
Modestly a rough rider, a full
blooded Mexican boy—talked yes
t-rday of the fierce battle on San
Juan hill. His name is Lopez, a
private in troop H.of the First Uni
ted States volunteer cavalry, and
he happened to be in Chicago yes
terday on his way whither he would
not say. While he was iyingin the
hospital at Fort McPherson at At
* >nta, Ga., Earl Harper, of Colonel
Y ung’s Cavalry, who was off for a
trip through the southern camps,
found him an interesting soldier,
who had been in the very thickest
of the fight. Lopez was waiting un
til three or four ribs healed enough
to let him travel northward. The
young soldiers came to this city to
gether, and they dined at the Bre
vort house yesterday as the guests
of Henry C. Mitchell.
Lopez is a handsome young lad
of 19, broad shouldered and athletic.
He is a typical rough rider beyond
a doubt and deserves a place on
the roll of honor which he will
ever get, because, as he says, “I
rn only a private, and privates
don’t count for much only to fight.”
i'he only way to get him to talk
about the fights he was in is to men
tion Spaniards or horses. Either
will start his wholesome Mexican
dialect. The Spaniards in the
trenches shot his companions, and
his favorite horse, which he loved
more than his own life, went down
under him while he was carrying
an important message to General
Wheeler.
“My troop H was the advance
guard,” he said in an indignant and
unguarded moment. “We started
up the hill, with the rest of the
regiment coming along behind and
a guard thrown out in the rear.
Spaniards in the trenches, they let
us get by and then they let fire.
We did not know where they were.
Other officers they did not know
how to keep up the spirit of their
men. Roosevelt came along be
hind us and shouted : ‘Go for them,
give it to them. Bully boys.’ We
fought. That’s all.”
But Lopez knows a good deal
more than that. He knows that
the Spanish soldiers killed our
wounded and sick like dogs. He
saw them stick two stilettos through
many a wounded man’s heart just
because he raised his head to see
if the fight was still on and thereby
showed that he was still alive.
After the San Juan battle was
over—and perhaps it was two or
■hree days later —it happened that
General Shatter had an important
message to send to General Wheeler
three milfes away and past the en
emy’s lines and the guards hidden
in the bushes. A detail of ten mpn
vas called for—one to carry the
ispatch and the others more to act
is a bodyguard for the messenger.
Dope/, volunteered to go. Really
hat was what he was intended to
be—a courier. His life on the plains
tted him for that sort of work in
dba. Also he had taken that fa
'orite horse which had carried him
i daylight and dark for full three
ears.
The ten men started on their
erilous trip past the enemy’s lines.
One by one the men were killed by
Spaniards hidden in the bushes un
ril only Lopez and the message
bearer were left alive. Ping! A
Spanish bullet whizzed from out the
bushes and the messenger fell dead.
Lopez leaned forward to get the
dispatch while the niessengfr’s
horse licked his dead master’s face.
Then another bullet and Lopez’
horse went down. He mounted the
dead messenger’s horse and rode
safe through a rain of Spanish bul
lets. Though he did not discover
it for four days, the bullet which
killed his horse had passed through
his shirt just under the arm. The
hole it made is stil! there. General
Wheeler got the important message,
but the rough rider courier from the
plains of Mexico got enough broken
ribs to send him to the hospital.
It Is The Greatest.
“I was afflicted w ith humor in my
blood which caused me to be covered
with sores. After taking six bottles of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla I was completely
cured and it attords me pleasure to re
commend this medicine tor impure
blood. It is the greatest medicine on
earth.” J. K. Brock. Sandtown, Geer

HOW A SPANISH OFFICER DIED-
Deserted by His Troops He Sent a
Mauser Bullet Through hlsHead.
Ponce,Puertoßico, August 23.-1 he
star of glnrj- of one Spanish ofilcei
sank with the surrender of Police.
Lieut. Garcia commmunded I,bOU
Spanish cavalry men.
He was ambitious, and when it
was necessary to vacate Ponce he
gathered his men about him and
started fur Guamca.
All vvt re excellently mounted,
Garcia seizing every good horse to
be had.
Passing over the mountains, his
men iiad a good view of General
Miles’ invading hosts. They quail
ed and deserted in grouf s. The
lieutenant had proceeded hut five
miles when he had only 150 men
about him. A ''alt was called for
ten hours to give those whom he
supposed were lagging a chance to
catch up.
The time wore on.
Twenty hours passed and his
troop grew smaller.
Finally he called the roll. But
eighty men responded. These he
ordered back to Ponce and told them
to surrender. Before they departed
he called upon them to witness how
a Spanish soldier could die when all
hope was lost.
Garcia took a Mauser rifle from
one of them, turned the barrel in
and, holding it at arm’s length, tired
a bail into his own brain.
The American soldiers secured
the horses and equipment of 500 of
the regiment.
BONES OF COLUMBUS.
Spain Will Make an Effort to Have
Them Carried Back to Spain.
Madrid, August 24—An agitation
has been started here for the pur
pose of inserting in the treaty of
peace a clause providing for the re
turn to Spain of the remains of
Christopher Columbus, lest they
should be used by the United States
as a trophy of war or else leased to
Barnum as a feature of his travel
ing show, which would boa scan-]
dalous profanation. Ii is equally
out of the question to leave them
in Havana in the charge of the
traitorous separatists.
If the United States gives way to
this demand on the part of Spain it
will be the fifth journey undertaken
by the illustrious navigator since
his death. Dying at Nalladolid, he
was buried there. Three years la
ter he was exhumed and taken to
a convent at Saville; from thence,
thirty years later, he was transfer
red to the island of San Domingo,
and when the latter was ceded by
Spain to France by the treaty of
Basle, just 100 years ago, the body
was transferred to Havana.
It is to be hoped that if he is now
taken back to Spain he may at
length enjoy that eternal rest which
is generally understood to be the
right of those who have died at
peace with both God and man.
Story of Ponce-
Collier’s Weekly.
Ponce is and old story to-day, yet
still a pretty one. In its history is a
fairy tal which has the merit, of
being true. In the years when
time went slower, a page lounged
through the leisures of Ferdinand’s
court. He was young, impudent
and abominably good looking. A
princess smiled and beckoned.
That was enough. There and then
he was sent to another world, to a
better one, to the tropics which
Columbus had found. He landed
at Boriquen, assisted with easy gal
lantry in eliminating the natives,
assisted also in gathering the gold
which they left, Between the lines
there are two decades. Meanwhile
B iriquen had been christened
Puerto Rico. Incidentally the page
had grown old. Whether he re
gretted the princess is problematic.
That he missed his good looks is
clear. In an effort to recover them
he took a trip. The story of El
Dorado had not yet been told. But
another story, equally if not more
seductive, was current then.
It was to the effect that some
where nearby were the fountains
of eternal youth. In search of
those waters he sailed. The land
of which he reached was so rich in
flowers that he called it Florida.
But of the waters not a trace. And
yet, may It not be that the legend
of them typified fame? For it was
that which he did find. His name
was Ponce de Leon, and it vas he
who founded Ponce.
The Wiser Way.
“How fresh and rosy you look,Nora,’
exclaimed Isabel, who had just returned
from the beach, and was greeting her
triend.
“Yes, dear,” replied Nora, “I am feel
ing splendidly, and mama says I have
an alarming appetite.”
“Where ia the world have you been
since 1 saw you?”
“I have remained at home,” replied
Nora, “and have worked hard every
day. But I have been taking that won
derful medicine. Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
aad it has done me, oh, so much good.
You see I always like te feel well when
l go away, and I leave for the moun
tains next week.” l*a •
MISSIONARY ITEMS
hen we pray for the extension
o! God's kingdom we put ourselves
under obligation to work for it.
‘Rain's Horn.” What are you go
ing to do; are you going to work
for the extension of God’s kingdom
or will you decline to pray for it?
“If it is true, and it certainly is,
t at the grandest enterprise that
appeals to the heart of man, is the
conversion of the world to Christ, it
is unquestionable that the grandest
of mission fields is China.”—Dr. \V.
A. P. Martin.
A missionary in China says: “Our
religion never seemed half so ten
der and beautiful and holy as since
I have contrasted it with the super
stition of China.”—Review of Mis
sions.
“Missions furnish the only safe
outlet for tlie wealth of the church.
Under the thrift and economy born
ot the gospel, wealth must of neces
sity accumulate; and if provision is
not made for its legitimate invest
ment it will most assuredly foster
covetousness, pride, self-indulgence,
vanity and lust of every sort. The
intelligent, willing, liberal support
of missions will relieve this plethora
as nothing else can.”—Ex.
There are 40,000 native pupils in j
the Sunday schools ot the Fiji is-j
lands. Certainly this is evidence!
of the success of Missions.
The Woman’s Parsonage and
Home Mission Society,of the South
ern Methodist church, though only
twelve years old, has aided in build
ing 717 parsonages, two of them in
foreign fields. The good accom
plished by this society in other
lines of work cannot he expressed
by figures or dollars and cents.
In these closing years of this cen
tury, the zeal for the propagation
of the gospel, among the heathen,
has been paralleled by the efforts
put forth for the evangelization of
the people in nominally Christian
lands.
In this enterprise the front rank
on both sides of the Atlantic has
been occupied by the Methodist
church.
The salvation army, which in its
origin is an off-shoot of the Meth
odist church, is in its own peculiar
way doing much good in home mis
sion work.
“The missions in India, despite
their mistakes, are a glorious suc
cess. The missionaries are worthy
not only of our confidence, but of
our self-sacrifices.”—J. H. Burrows,
D. D.
It is stated that from the Peking
government strict orders have been
issued to each of the governors of
the eighteen provinces to open in
the capital city schools of Western
learning. Of course for teachers
resort must be had to the mission
aries and their Christian pupils.”

A Loaf for the King’s Table.
Sift into the bowl of pure thoughts,
but the light hand of experience, a
measure of the flour of cheerfulness.
Into this pour a cup of the yeast of
sweet smiles, and one of the milk
of human kindness. Stir the mix
ture, and then cover it with the
blanket of charity. During the
dark hours of doubt and uncertain
ty, keep it warm with love. In the
morning sprinkle over the now
risen loaf, a teaspoonfu) of the
salt of friendliness. Then work in
more of the flour of cheerfulness,
with willing hands, and cover
again warmly with the blanket of
charity. After it has stood awhile
in God’s sunshine, divide it into
three loaves; of faith, hope, and
love. Lay each gently into the pan
of watchfulness, and place to hake
in the quick oven of good impulses.
When well done, eat with lips of
unselfishness and hearts glowing
with love of God and our fellow
men. With a hearty meal of this
bread for breakfast, we shall he
strengthened to do the work we
have pledged ourselves to accom
plish for our king.

The hurry and bustle of the housewife
Is extremely wearing upon the delicate or
ganism of womanhood.
Her intense earnestness in whatever she
undertakes, tempts her constantly to go
beyond her strength.
Mrs. L. E. Browning, of Pueblo, Colo.,
was one who did this.
“Eight years ago,” said she, “my hus
band died and I was left with three child
ren to care for and educate.
“The burdens of life fell heavily upon
me, but I determined to make the best of it.
“I succeeded in my undertakings for a
livelihood, but in doing so overtaxed my
self, and undermined my health.
“I was wry ill about two years ago with
Wood poisoning, caused by an abscess that
had not received proper treatment.
“The disease settled in my throat for a
time, causing intense agony.
“ Then inflammatory rheumatism set in.
For four months and a half I was a prisoner
in ray room, most of the time confined to
my bed.
“My hands were swollen so that I could
not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet
and ankles would have made walking im
possible if I had been strong enough.
“One day, after considerable treatment,
my physician brought me a box of pills.
‘You need a tonic,’ he said, ‘and some
thing that will act at once, and this is the
best medicine for that purpose.’
“ Pills! ” I exclaimed in surprise as he
opened the box and showed them.

Yes,’ he rep'ied, ‘ these are Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People, but you need
not be alarmed, they are not physic, and
my word for it, they’ll do you good.’
“Before I had been taking them a week
I noticed a great improvement in my con
dition. Soon my rheumatism was gone.
“ I grew stronger each day and now am
in the best of health.
“ I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, the best tonic.
“A friend not long ago was telling me
of her mother who is at a critical period in
her life.
“ She was subject io terrible fainting
spelts, and the entire family would work
over her.
“ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have not only
stopped the fainting spells, but given her sp
much strength that she is able to take up
life’s duties again.”
To more highly endorse her words, Mrs.
Browning made affidavit before George W.
Gill, Notary Public.
All diseases arising from an impoverished
condition of the blood, and most all come
from that, are cured by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People.
They act directly upon the blood. Build
ing it up with lacking constituents; it be
comes rich and red, the various organs are
nourished and stimulated to activity in per
forming their functions, and thus disease is
eliminated from the system.
These pills arc sold everywhere, the sale
being enormous.
