Troop X. Of the 9Th Cav, is known as the
Jonah" or Fatal" troop Of the regiment
Ia all of the Indian fights in which the 9Th has
been engaged. X Troop has horne the brunt OF
the engagements. In the first great fight OF
the 9TH Cav. against the Indians, the battle OF
the Mashita, X Troops loss was greater than
that OF any other company. Eight prlvates
were shot down in that famous charge. In the
Custer massacre X Troop was almost annihi-
lated. fully one-half of the company dying
with Custer. The year following began the
Nez Percc or st. Joseph War This ia many
respects was the most peculiar Indian war IN
all the history Of frontier troubles. Gen. y. -.
Howard. with several regiments at his back,
chased Chief Joseph in zig-Zag course from
Oregon to Dakota. Unable 10 corner ms willy
foe Gen. Howard so wired headquarters. Gen.
Miles and the eth Cav. were then sent against

The morning Of Sept. 30. ls77, Gen. Miles,
with Troops A aud X of the 7th was in advance
of tho main column under Gen. Slurgis. As
the little troop rode up knoll IN the prairie.
the advance scouts reported the camp OF chief
Joseph in front. Gen. Miles ordered a charge,
the cavalry being supported by the 9th Int.

have been no Indian waTs from 1917 To the

Old Marriage Customs.

The ancient marriage ceremonies OF
the church were divided into the be-
trothal and the nuptials. The essen
tials of the betrothal were the ring, the
dowry, the joining of hands and the
yelling, while those of the nuptials COM
prised the oblation, or fee, the kiss, the
benediction, and the browning. These
ceremonies are carefully observed in
the Syrian, Coptic and other eastern
churches.
The silly custom of the priest TAX
ing the first kiss from the bride is both
unseemly and irreverent. The man
should kiss his wife as soon as the cere-
mony is over and the priest and his
clerks should reverently retire to the
vestry.
In the Church of England, as soon as
the service is over, the wedding party
retires to the vestry and there record
their names in the marriage register,
the bride, strange to relate, signing hel
maiden name once more and for the
last time. 1t is then that signal il
given to the belfry and the church
bells ring out their marriage Chimes

This Gong for Business.

In the office Of the captain of the
watch at the treasury department is a
large gong connected with a series of
wires. That bell has never been rung
save when it is tested to see if it is in
working order, and the officials trust
that it never will be sounded. When
it does, business of the most serious
kind is meant.
At some time or other some crank or
cranks might get into the cashroom or
banking Office of the treasury, and by
the bold use of arms attempt to make
a raid. This gong is connected with
the cashroom by number of wires,
and the pressure of button at con-
venient places will sound the alarm.
The watchmen have orders when that
bell rings to drop all other work and
come to the cashroom thoroughly
armed and ready to deal with whatever
may present itself. Washington Post.

The Professional Reggar.

The professional beggar must be a
man of some ability and he requires
years of study and practice to make the
occupation profitable. He must be a
man of some originality, for the Amer
lean people prefer variety even in the
tales of woe told by the street beggars.
The men who achieve success in the
business are proud of their profession
and rather enjoy being caught now and
then. No part of the city is free from
the frauds who are collecting the living
they claim the world owes them. They
visit every block and probably every
house from the Battery to the Harlem
river.
During the day they work among the
fashionable residences up town and the
wholesale districts down town. In the
evening they swarm along upper Broad
way, mingling with the throng of well
dressed theater goers and promenaders.
1t is there they reap their richest har-
vest from the out of town people, who
are seeing the sights and have usually
seen enough of them at that hour to
feel as though they would be glad to
relieve all the poverty and suffering in
the world. New York Cor. Chicago

How Cloth Is Shrunk.

After the goods have been examined
and tested they are sponged, or shrunk.
There are several methods of doing this
work. One is by wetting the cloth and
hanging it up to dry Another is by
rolling the garment on perforated cop
per cylinders into which live steam is
admitted, which permeates the roll of
cloth and slfrinks tt. e., after the
cloth is laid away to cool, the water
and the heat together shrink it, and so
set the fiber of the wool that it shrinks
very little, if any, more. There are
certain houses which make a business
of sponging goods for the trade, but

The Use of Metaphor,

A speaker who attempts to use nauti-
cal metaphors should be thoroughly
familiar with the sea and the working
of ship or he will strand his speech.
A clergyman was supplying pulpit by
the seaside. Thinking to impress the
truth more distinctly upon the congre-
cation, many of whom were seamen,
he drew the figure of a ship trying to
enter q harbor against head wind.
Unfortunately for the success of his
metaphor, he knew little of seaman
