another relic of bygone days, a poor old
cantiniere who followed the then trl-
umphant flag of France from west to
east, but who is now forsaken and for
gotten, for, cruel as it may appear, these
noble women who have sacrificed their
whole existence to their country are not
entitled to receive pension from the
government.
A most touching incident was related
to me few years ago by General Count
de Keratry, and it is so characteristic
that cannot resist the temptation of
transcribing it here.
1t happened during the Kabylian ex-
petitions at the time of the Algerian in
surrection. One day a detachment of
zouaves and chasseurs d'Afrique was
sent to reconnoiter the position of the
enemy far into the desert; the soldiers
We're accompanied by their cantiniere
and by her wagon filled with provisions.
On the second night of the march the
little troop was suddenly surrounded by
5000 or 10000 Arabs. The men took
refuge behind a tangle of stunted mimosa.
Soon the fray grew fast and furious. I'm
fortunately but little ammunition had
been brought by the French detachment,
and after few hours Of hard fighting
the officer in command found to his hor-
ror that the position could not be held
any longer, and that in spite of the al
most incredible valor Of his men death
was staring them in the face.
Being given the force Of the attacking
party, it was useless to think of attempt

whether on the field of Maslak, during
the Yenikale and Baidar expeditions, or
during the siege Of Sevastapol." During
the Franco-German war she earned fresh
laurels, and as the result she was deco
rated with the military medal which
now hangs on her breast next to the
Crimean medal, which she had already
received.
Another woman who deserves the most
enthusiastic mention is Mime. Louise
de Beaulieu. She lost an arm during
the Franco russian war of 1901, and
besides the military medal she possesses
eight ''Medailles de Sauretage" (medals
granted for having saved lives at the
peril of her own) and the cross of officer
pf the Legion of Honor.
She distinguished herself at the bat
be of Nanterre, of the Bourget, Of Bry~
r-Marme and of Villiers, searching for
the wounded all over the bloody field
under a hail of bullets and balls, and at
Champigny, on the I'd of December, an
obus shattered her right arm while she
was bending over dying man. Even
this did not stop her, for she remained
TO the last moment at Groslay bandag-
ing the wounded with one hand and
tying ligatures with her teeth!
Sad to relate, Nine de Beaulieu is to-
day very poor and earns a precariol15
living by selling cheap toys on the
houlevards.

No better description has ever been
given of the cantiniere than is to be
found in Ouida's popular novel, ''Under
Two Flags" Cigarette, the heroine,
is the true type, if somewhat poetized,
of this vivacious, joyous, plucky, I'M
daunted and mischievous member of the
fair sex, who has for SO long period
followed the French army to glory, and,
alas, of late years to defeat. Ever
cheerful and bright, the cantiniere has
fitted on all the battlefelds of Europe,
tending the wounded, feeding the hum
CRY and nsoistening the parched lips of
the dying from her ever ready little
barrel.
She was a peculiar mixture of the
sister of mercy and of the opera bouffe
queen-a bird with gay plumage, but pos
sessing all the sterling qualities which
uraold sinking energies, and infuse new
life in those who are weary unto death
namely, resolution, courage touching to
temerity, and complete devotion to suf-
fering humanity. No wonder that the
army of France should be repining over
the loss of so useful and so attractive,
not to say SO beloved, a personality, and
that the fiat which has gone forth re-
garding her has saddened so many a
brave heart
Countless are indeed the deeds Of
valor and abnegation which can be laid
at the door of the "cantiniere" during
the din of battle, for she feared neither
bullets nor swords, and utterly regard

Is n Sleek SwIndlcr and Has Done rhriv-

rest
NEW YORK, November IA gang
of bank swindlers Is travelling about
the country mainly through the West.
They are clever and plausible and their
victims are generally the country banks.
Their method is to obtain draft for a
small sum from an out OF town bank on
its New York spondent. From
this genuine draft they have forged du-
plicates made.
The genuine draft, of course, goes
through all right. Then the bogus
drafts are presented and the swindlers
having established sort OF credit with
the genuine draft and being sufficient
" we'll known to be identified by the
country bank, the bogus drafts on the
New York bank ara generally cashed
without question. Some New York
bank every little while will receive In
it's mail from a western correspondent
bank bogus draft drawn upon the
New York bank and which has been
cashed by its western correspondent.
OF course the loser in this case is the
country bank which has cashed IL for
the swindler, not the New York inSti-
tuition upon which it is drawn.
The latest instance OF this sort OF
swindling was brought TO the attention
of the Chase National Bank OF this city
a few DAYS ago. The victims In this
case were the First National Bank and
German American Bank, both of st.
Cloud, MINI. Both OF these banks on
October 2, cashed bogus draft on the
Chase National Bank OF this city, the
first for 800 and the other for $500.
Both of the drafts plrported to be is
