Carey Amsbaugh
Mrs. Frank Williams recently received a letter from Carey Amsbaugh, her half-brother, a soldier at Manila. The young man, who spent his juvenile days in Lexington, is serving in Col. Fred Funston's 20th. Kansas regiment whose name has been embalmed in song and written brightest on the tablet of fame for deeds of valor and fortitude in behalf of right and to sustain the honor of and prestige of the American flag. He is the ideal type of the young man of Mars in stature and bearing and has shown the stuff of which he is made in the fierce ordeal of battle and on toilsome march in a burning tropical sun over deep, treacherous streams and through dense tangled jungles in wild pursuit of the savage, remorseless foe and such as he challenges the admiration and praise of all who exalt the spirit of valor and patriotism.
