mates sueeeasfn1.


Lieut.. Farrrow, after an all-sum-
mers's hunt after the Indians has re-
turned with the entire band which he
has been pursuing since last July.
He has shown himself an expert IN
dian fighter, and We will very proba-
bly, hear from him again. Following
is the telegraphic account Of his cam
paign:
On the 10Th inst. Lieut.. Farrow ar
rived in Walla WalIa with thehostiIe
renegade indians, who had been dep
redatiDg all over the mountains Of
northern Idaho the past few months.
In all there are fifty-oDe very good
looking Indisns, 26 bucks, II squaws
and II children. Lieuts. Farrow and
Brown sf Co. L, fst cavalry, have been
on the wal path with 20 UmatiIIa In
dian scouts, and 10 men Of the 2Ist
infantry since last July. During all
that time they have been constantly
on the move, and literally run the
hostiles into the ground. In doing
this, they wore out two sets OF horses
and mules. At one time the little
command only had six muIes left, ,and
were without any thing to est but
berries for days together in a noun
tain country surrounded by everlast.
ing SHOWS. On the 21st Of September
they charged the Indian camp and
drove the Indians Off toanother place
where they fortified themselves. All
their camp equipage was captured,
and the hostiles were left without a
horse or q pound OF meat. One night
as they were about TO attack the camp
OF Farrow a dog barked which caused
the Indians TO leave without doing
any damage. The command imme-
dIately followed them up the next
morning aud captured some squaws
and children. They found the dog
which had given the Indians away
hanged TO q tree. Farrow and Brown
followed up and dashed into their
fortIfcations again scattering them
In every direction. Farrow's tactics
were TO 60 into camp early, and at
night start fires, after which he would
again break camp and head the In
dams of.
Their resources for warfare and
for flight were at last exhausted, and
the chief, a shrewd fellow known as
Jack, sent q messenger TO the pursu-
era asking upon what terms they
would be allowed 10 surrender. Far
row answered that they must surren-
der without condition or fight 1t out,
and that he would stay with them
until all were captured. After wait
Ing few days the Indians concluded
to give up and come into camp as
previously reported. The campaign
reflects the greatest credit upon all
whe took part in il, and demon
strates that Indians can be made
faithful soldiers, and are specially
adapted to border warfare.

to English ladies on the importance Of

Americans, saying mo one can deny
that, as rule, they are pleasant TO the

in the way of neglecting their personal
adornments or in taking their full share
in the pleasures and daintiness Of this

especially if they can get n look at
themselves in the mirror ON my bureau.
One or two of those who came had been
before, and they were telling Of how
they looked in the glass, till the others
were all anxious to see, too, so they
gathered in crowd and stood before
the mirror. One quick look, and then
surprised, startled cry, aud some of
them hid their faces, others jumped
away, and some looked about to see
who was really there. They had never
seen themselves before. and did not
know how miserably they looked, with
their black teeth and naked bodies.
They drew their scarfs over their
breasts and tried to hide from the sight
of themselves. One turned and said to

rs PORK WHOLESOME.

We find question raised as to the
wholesomeness Of pork, some parties de-
claiming against it as an article of food,
etc. What piece Of folly it is at this
late day to raise such an issuel Pork
eaters, comprised of about nine-tenths
of the civilized population of the world,
will scout at such nonsense. For all
persons of active habits pork is just as
wholesome as anything else, and far
more sustaining. 1t is true that if too
much of it is eaten at time, in other
words, If people will make "hogs" oi
themselves, they viii have to snffer for
it as for an overdose of other "fodder.
To discard pork would be to discard
one Of the main items going into ouI
''vital statistics" What would become

thrown overboard7 The idea il abauri

The Wicked Game, CrOquet.

One day last summer we rode so miles
in railway car, seated behind four
men who were playing with those awful
things of the devil-cards. They play
ed euchre until they were tired of it.
They played alittle seven-up, pedro and
occasionally trifle of poker. We never
heard dispute. Their bursts of mer-
riment occasionally at some unexpected
play repeatedly drew our eyes from our
book. They never quarreled and never
called names once.
When we got out at the station we
sat at our window and watched a party
of young men and maidens play GRO
quet. In Is minutes we saw two per-
sons cheat successfully. We heard the
one player who did not cheat accused
of cheating five times. We heard four
distinct bitter quarrels. We heard
beautiful young girl tell two lies and a
meek-looking young man three, and
finally we saw the young girl throw her
mallet against the fence so hard that it
frightened horse; the other young girl
pounded her mallet so hard on the
ground that it knocked the buds off an
apple tree. They both banged into the
house at different doors and the two
young men looked sheepish and went
off after a drink. Now, why is thisp

Where Tomatoes Were First
Eaten.

1t is Newport tradition that toma-
toes were first eaten in this country in
about 1928, in house still standing on
the corner of Corne and Mill Streets
About that time there came here an &C.
centric Italian painter-Michele Feilce
Corne. He bought stable on the
street now called for him, fashioned it
into dwelling house, and there lived
and died. Previous to his coming,
and long after, tomatoes, then called
''love apples" were thought to be pois-
onous. A gentleman told me to-day
that in 1919 he brought them from
South Carolina and planted them in his
yard, where they were looked upon as
curiosities and priced for their beauty.
They became later, however, q very
unpleasant missile in the hands of the
small boy. A charming old lady also
told me to-day that in 1924 she was sit
ting with sick person when some one
brought the invalid as tempting deli
cacy some tomatoes. Would you
poison herp" was the exclamation of
the astonished attendants, and yet
Corne in his section of the town had
been serving them for year previous.
And late af 1885 they were regarded as
poisonous throughout Connecticut
