How the Patriotic American Army Ap-
peared in the Year 1777.
Here is picture of one of the men at
Valley Forge: "His bare feet peep
through his worn-out shoes. his legs
nearly naked from the tattered remains
of an only pair of stockings, his breeches
not enough to cover his nakedness, his
shirt hanging in strings, his hair dis
heyeled, his face wan and thin, his look
hungry, his whole appearance that of a
man forsaken and neglected" And the
snow was falling! This was one of the
privates. The officers were scarcely
better of. One was wrapped ''in sort
of dressing-gown made ofan old blanket
or woolen bed-cover. The uniforms
were torn and ragged; the guns were
rusty; few only had bayonets; the SOL
diers carried their powder in tin boxes
and cow-horns.
The horses died of starvation, and the
men harnessed themselves to trucks and
sleds, hauling wood and provisions from
storehouse to hut. At one time there
was not a ration in camp. Washington
seized the peril with strong hand and
compelled the people in the country
about, who had been selling to the
British army at Philadelphia, to give up
their stores to the patriots at Valley
Forge. b. Scud2er, IN 81. Mich

A COLORADO "MAN-EATER."
Alfred Packer Given Forty Years for Muir

Alfred Packer Given Forty Years for MUIR
der and Cannibalism.
DENVER. COL. Aug. 6.-The second trial
OF Alfred Packer better known ts the
''man-eater" was concluded at Gunnison
City Wednesday night with verdict OF
guilty of mansaughtcr on five counts, and
to-day Judge Harrison sentenced the pris-
oner to serve forty years in The peniten-
tiary, or eight years for each man whom it
is supposed he murdered.
The crime of Packer is one OF the most
horrible on record. In the early part of
the winter OF 1878, Packer in company with
live prospcctors-Israel Swan, Wilson Bell,
George Noon, Frank, Miller and james
Humphreys-started from Bingham, U. r.,
to the then new mining district in the San
Juan country The winter was severe and
the game scarce, and when the party
reached the place where Lake City now
stands they were out OF provisions and
suffering with cold. Here they went into
camp. One night Packer murdered
his companions and for fifteen days
lived off the flesh OF the dead men.
In the early part OF 1874 Packer
made his way to the Los Pinos agency,
where he said that Bell had gone crazy
with hunger and murdered the other four
men while he (Pncker) was out hunting for
game, and that on his return to camp
Bell attacked him with hatchet
and he was compelled to kill
Bell in sef-dctense. Packer was
arrested and confined in Saguashe Jail,
from which he made his escape. He was u
fugitive until 1888, when he was reca ptured
at Fort Fetterman, Wy. T., going under
the name OF John Swartz. He stoutly
maintains his innocence and seems recon-
ciled to his fate.

HOMING PIGEONS.
Their Usefulness as Message Bearers From
and To Vessels at Sea.

hhtiT tsttutHtsS ~ rum
and To vessels at Sea.
The use of pigeons by Mr.. c. Il. Ar
noux as message-bcarers, in the yacht
races of last September, proves conclu-
sively the value of the birds might have
rs messengers from off the water. The
purpose was the thought of the last
moment, and when almost too late to
make the necessary preparation. The
arguments were hasty and the material
homed at several centers. some of them
miles away from the center of use. Still.
with all drawbacks, insuilicicncies and
mistakes, 1t was evident to the most
prejudiced that with birds would six
times out of seven prove to be Of the
greatest value; and failing the seventh,
we would be only where we are with
out them. The messages were each
not less than ten pages of manifold
note. and were carried upon the middle
feathers of tn" tail, to which they were
fastened by fine copper wire, wound
about and pressed flat, to hold the mes
sage close to the feather. The editor of
newspaper served by these pigeons
said: ut gives me peculiar sensation
to receive copy from the hand of one /
know to be out of reach upon the
water, and to fell that he may talk to
me but can not answer back. 1t is n
wonder to me after this experience that
the officers of any vessel, excursion
steamer, yacht, sail or tug boat should
be willing to leave the shore without this
means of communicating with it"
Very many of the merchant marine,
especially in European waters, have
pigeons on board for use in commune
eating with the vessel from the small
boats away from it or from shore.
These birds, it is said, never mistake
another vessel for their own when at
dock or in the harbor. 1t has been re-
marked of several flights that the birds
in exercising, when far out of sight OF
land, will 60 away for hours at a time,
and upon their return will have dried
mud on their feet and legs, showing
them to have been upon shore.

DARK EYES.
Sentiments OF Love, Passion and Hatred |
betrayed .by Them.

Sentiments OF Love, Passion ana Hatred
Betrayed.by Them.
Dark eyes are both beautiful and dan
gerous. In their depths-the home of
witchery--lurks many a spell. Slum-
bcrous, dreamy orbs! Bewtching, gypsy
eyes. They are the ones that present to
the observer an ever varying panorama.
Forever changing, like April weather,
they may flash with scorn, or darken
with gloom, then instantly melt with
tenderness, or languish with love;
sparkle with mirth one moment, sadden
with grief the next. They are very
passionate eyes. They may be the eyes
of beautiful murdercss, iiend in
human shape, but they may also be the
eyes of very dear friend, or a loving
sister.
Dark eyes, though kind and indulg-
ent. are not to be triiled with. A dark
eyed man never forgives an enemy. A
dark-eyed woman neverf forgets her first
love.
Dark eyes may be calm and still as a
summer night. but beware an angry
word, and the storm cloud gathers.
Take care! there are lightning flashes in
those eyes. They may be placid as a
mountain lake, but the strength is there,
latent though it be. Like a volcano,
they may slumber peacefully and qui-
etly, but the monotony of life is dis
turbed by occasional flashes. -Mary r.
Murphy, in 50. Louis Magazine.

THE ORANGEMEN.
History and Strength of the Order In the
North of Ireland and Else where.

History and Strength of the Order In tho
North of Ireland and Elsewhere.
The society of the Orangemen was
founded in 1895. The first lodge was
formed in Armagh, and the name was
taken in honor of King William Ill.,,
Prince of Orange. The object of til e
society was avowedly to uphold Protest
ant institutions and interests and thus
to counteract the Roman Catholic secret
association known as "the defenders"
The two opposed societies We're soon in
volved in fierce hostility, as nearly all
of the peasants belonged to one or the
other, and wherever they met in any
numbers fighting and riots We're sure to
occur. The order waned somewhat in
the early days of the century, but in
1927, when the Duke of Cumberland be-
came Grand Master, it revived. In 1928
and 1929 a number of fights occurred
which were suppressed by the militia
with difficulty. In 1885 the British par
lament ordered an investigation of the
association. 1t was found that thirty
four regiments of the army had Orange
lodges; that there were l45, 900 Orange
men in England and l25, COO in Ireland.
AS the order was declared subversive of
the peace of communities. Orange clubs
in both England and Ireland were
broken up in conformity with resolu-
ton of the House of Commons. Or
angeism was revived, however, in lS45,
and still exists largely in the British
islands, though its professions there
are forbidden by law. 1t was intro
duced into British America in 1929, and
us its meetings are not illegal there its
political influence is very great and its
membership enormous. A number of
lodges also exist in the United States. -
