A cavalry force of some twenty-five
men surprised small party of Indians

however, there were numerous glades

at once, and the soldiers separated ip

of firing indicated that the affair was

came in, until the whole command was

of the officer, almost every man
claimed to have killed an Indian.

Not so Dull After All.

1t would be hard to say why Phila-
delphia is so often called dull. Per-
haps it is because Of the strict ortho-
doxy of its large Quaker and Presbyte-
rian population. 1t is true enough
that many of its men and women lack
the resources of their fellows of Boston
and New York. Intellectual life in
the town is not so quick or alacrious
as the nimble mind of New England.
When the Philadelphia mind is trained
it becomes Il storehouse of solid and
useful accomplishments; perhaps it
would be better to designate its pos
sessions qualifications instead of accom-
plishments. And then, again, there
lies doubtless some cause for that
which seems like sombreness in the
fact that almost every Philadelphia
has home, so thai on a Sunday. for
example, when the public places of
New York are thronged, the substan-
tial young Philadelphia, who is not
under the necessity of escaping from
the horrors of hall bedroom, remains
within the doors of his own or his
paternal mansion; or he may stroll
about the streets of an afternoon; or
he may ride or drive over the roads of
the finest park in the country. He
may do many things. but he does not
haunt the public places; and he is,
above all, family MANI. L. Nelson,

Evils of PromiscuOus Bathing.

A few years ago stockings were not

stockings cut so as to expose the toes.
which some newspaper correspon dent
describes as ten tiny pink shells"
As see them thus arrayed--or disar-
raved, to speak correctly fear the
girl will soon begin to calculate the
effect of what some one lately called
''artistic baroness on the mind of
masculinity, and the man to be too
conscious of the value of muscle and
calf which he exposes.
AS the mouthpiece of the crowds
who come to witness these exhibitions,
let me quote the little girl who, in the
innocence of her heart, asked her
mother IF she might take off her dress
and play in her underclothes like the
ladies did on the beach,"
After the bath these young people
settle themselves on the sand for per-
haps an hour or so, rarely having any
chaperon or older person with them.
Is it right that an innocent and
childish creature should be thrown in
to such close and utterly unguarded
companionship with one of the oppo-
site sex? A girls purity and perfect
Inconsistencies are her greatest
charms, and can we expect her to
retain these graces in such an atmos-
phere?
You may say bare legs are no more
demoralizing than bare shoulders, of
which we have a surfeit in every ball
room. Granted; but because we con-
done one indelicacy are we to smile
quietly on all? Round dances have
been the subject of pulpit oratory; let
the moralist and preacher now turn
their attention to this rapidly increas-
ing evil.-Ladies' Home journal.

Below the clock face shield, which

by laurel wreath.
On this shield is an inscription set

to the cruiser Philadelphia on behalf of

A cable forms a square around the

two upper corners fouled anchor is
