It is not the only trust, how- ever The great 1ife Ingsurance trust reaches out into every state in the union. In Nebraska it annually collects from our people $1,600,000. This vast sum of money is hurried away to eastern centers and over $1,000,000 annually stays there perpetually. This enormous sum is far larger than the sum In excess of the rea- sonable price we pay for our daily rations of beef, pork, veal and mutton.

It was like going through An avenue or cave cut out of the forest. The time we came through it yesterday was at high noon, and that the noon of the tropics, but the vegetation was so thick It was almost dark. The roof of the path was so low that 1 had to hug my horse to keep from being torn off him. As we jogged along I now and then took out my note book and tried to make a description, only to find a big rope of bamboo eatching me by the neck or my hat jerked from my head by a down- hanging branch. I cannot describe the vegetation. Tangle s the only word for it. Above and on each slde of us were great ropes of green o tied and twisted together that you could not poesibly crawl through them without an ax or a bolo. Through this tangle, rising up- ward for a distance of 100 feet without a branch, were silver-trunked trees of the finest hard wood, some of them almost 200 feet high. Now we would pass fern trees with branches fifteen feet long and with leaves as delicate in thelr texture as the finest lace. There were orchlds every- where and strange plants, the names of which I do not know. It was a perfect jungle of vegetation, the only path being the little narrow alley cut out above the stream along which we traveled. Natarnl Wonders of Luzon, The scenery was wonderfully beautiful. Our trafl led us in and out of the jungle from one amphitheater of rocke to another Now we would be between walls of cliffs hundreds of feet high and not farther apart than the sldes of an average roadway and now we would come out of these into an open space covered with this tall grass surrounded by walls of earth and rocks Some of the amphitheaters contained ten acres of ground They were free from trees and so fortified by the rocks that fif- teen Insurrectos might have held the passes to them against an army. The Fil- ipinos had no idea that our men would ven- ture into these mountains and they were so terrified that they fled after making but a feeble resistance, It makes one uneasy to travel through a country like this, for you can never tell when an enemy may be hidden in a clump of bamboos. Murders are so frequent that you can never know when your turn is com- ing. Last week I in a country filled with brigands. It was the land of our friends, the Macabehes, and there were ladrones upon every side playing upon these natives and our troops. I rode up the Rio Grande river In a little dugout not more than fifteen feet long and two feet in width It that T had to sit straight to prevent overturning the boat. T had two Lieutenant Chadwick was Wwas 80 Narrow Macabebe guards and with me. We rode for seven miles up the river so close the shore that we could touch the bamboos which hung out the streams. Licutenant Chadwick warned me that if there was firing T should throw myself flat in the boat. It was dark nd moved without lights for fear might attract the fire of insurrectos We reached Culumpit and I did not think of danger until 2 o'clock that night. I was sleeping in a bamboo shack In a banana plantation about two miles from our regu- lar troops, with Lieutenants Chadwick and Gelger, guarded only by a small company of Macabebes. About midnight we were awakened by a sound of firing. The officers sprang from their beds and Chadwick said ‘“Those guns are Remingtons! The must be attacked by insurrectos!’ “Yes,"” said Lieutenant Geiger, “‘they are right across the river and they will be here in a moment!" As he sald this there was another volley and then a third. Geiger 1it a match to find his shoes and Chadwick damned him and knocked it out, saying he would draw the fire to our shack. I crawled around in the dark to find my shoes and clothes, for I was in my pajamas and a fair mark for bolos. At door to 1lmost wer we we camp this moment a soldier came to the and sald*that he had heard terrible gcreams down the river and that he thought the guards must be attacked by bolo men We dressed rapidly and took our revolvers and started out. There was no further fir ing, however, and after a walk through the bananas in the vicinity of the hut we went back to bed. The next day we discovered that a band of ladrones had as- saulted and massacred peasants across the river not 300 yards from where we were and from where they could easily have shot while we slept. They have been near the banks of the river when came up In the boat, and in the dusk sould easily have shot at us and gotten away. It {s such things that make one un easy FRANK G.
