A FAMOUS WAR HORSE.
Death of Ola Comanche of tho Govern
ment Service.

Death of Old Comanche of tho Govern
ment Service.
Word was recently received at Kan
sas City, Mo, of the death of Comanche,
the most celebrated horse in the United
States cavalry service, at Fort Riley.
He was forty-fivc years of age and the
only living thing belonging to the
United States service which escaped tho
massacre at the battle of the Little Big
Horn, where Gen. Custer and his com
mand were massacred. He was one
of the original mount of the Seventh
cavalry, which regiment was organized
In 1866, and had been in almost every
battle in the Indian service.
After the battle of Little Big Horn he
was found covered with wounds, rider
less and saddlclcss, some distance from
the scene of the massacre. He was
taken charge of by Capt. Rowlan and
sent to Fort Riley, where for fourteen
years he had not been subject to birdie,
and had been in charge of the Seventh
cavalry. His death was due to old age.
His skin will be stuffed and mounted
and kept in the museum of the Kansas
state university until the worlds fair at
NhiSdSo, W lcIc III VIII DC taken Tor eX
hibiton.
Entcrprising showmen have from
time to time cndcavorcd to secure
Comanche for exhibition purposes, but
the authorities have invariably refused
TO disturb his wcll-carned rest. Com
anchc was the horse of Capt Keogh, a
relative of Gen. Custer.
Special provision was made for the
care and support of Comanchc. Once
in awhile, when the cavalry troops
were on inspection, Comanchc was led
out, saddled and bridled. but no one
ever sat i'll his saddle after the battle
of the Little Big Horn.
1t will be remembered that Clusters
Inflated command used the dead bodies
of their horses killed by the shower OF
indian bullets as a barricadc as far as
possible. All the horses were saddlcd,
as the troop had ridden into the valley
and attacked the Sioux camp, and, as
Comanchc was found stripped of his
nccoutrcmcnts, it has always been sup
posed that his saddle and bride were
taken by the victorious Indians, who.
believing that he would die of his
wounds, turned him loose. The BODY
of every other horse that carried the
brave cavalry into battle on that fate
full morning was found among the
heaps of the slain soldiers.

coLoRs AND COLOR BLINDNESS
Tho Thrce True Primary Colors Arc Red,
Grccn, and Violet.


Color blindness is n serious defect
wherever found, says tho United Ser
vice. 1t is especially so in scattering
men and in those employed on rail.
roads. Possibly it is less important in
soldier, although it must impair his
efficiency materially. Nor is it possible
to repair the defect 10y education or
study, apparently for it is now gcner-
ally agreed that color is due to scnsa-
ton. According to Wursch and Young
the normal eye has only three color
sensations n rcd, green, and Il violet
and the apparent color of any light
which falls on it depends merely on the
relative intensities of the excitement
produced by the light on the three
organs of sense corresponding to these
sensations.
In color blindness one or more of
these organs of sense is wanting or i'm
perfect. The most common form,
Daltonism, depends on the absence
of the red sense. From the en-
periments of Ilolmgren on two persons,
each of whom was found to have one
color-blind eye, the other being nearly
normal, it was found (what could other
wise have been only matter of theory
that those persons could describe the
various colors with one eve, but that
there was dead uniformity of color
when looking with the other eye
Thus was obtained description of
color-blind vision in terms of normal
vision.
The old artists considered that there
really were three primary color sensa-
tions-bluc, yellow and red. But
Helmholtz and Maxwell have now con-
clusively proved that the three
primaries are red, green and violet
Certain mixtures of violet and green
can be made TO give blue, which ac-
counts for nearly half of the spectrum
from the blue end, when combined, ap-
pcaring OF that color; and red and
green will also give yellow-most
mixtures. however, giving one Of an
orange shade.
1t is commonly imagined that blue
and yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce green. The true source of tho
green was pointed out by Hclmholtz.
Ut is the one color which is not freely
absorbed either by the yellow or by the
blue pigment. The yellow pigment
the greater part of the blue,
indigo and violet rays; the blue pig
ment removes the greater part of the
red, orange and yellow. Thus the
light which finally escapes is mainly
green.

An.OId sl,ark STORY.

One famous shark story has long been
current in the navy. A professcd eye
witness locates the incident in the gulf
of Mexico, and fixes the date some
where in the carly seventies. Accord
ing to this historian the ship lay at
anchor in n spot where many sharks
were visible, and the younger officers
fell to fishing through u port-hole with
n great hook baitcd with hunk of
meat. Presently an immense shark was
hooked and drawn up to the port-hole.
Then n sailor reached down, and, with
Il keen knife, ripped the fish so that
only the she'll was left hanging to the
hook. An instant later somebody cut
the rope and the monster fell back into
the gulf. And dye think that shark
was dead?" asked the narrator Not

some examples OF Torrtblo Gastronomic
Devastation In England.
Tho "Glutton of Kent" Fuller places
among his worthless, who devoured, Mt a
single meal, "four-score rabbits and
eighteen black buildings, London meas
urc." Coming down to more recent
times, there is the probably apocryphal
story of II Scotchman who ate u solan
| goose by way of n whct for dinner, and
of Welsh nobleman who devoured a
bcvy of cartridges for breakfast every
morning.
There is also n well-known legend,
which found its way into PUNCH, of n
certain eminent politician who entered
an eating house near the Old Bailey,
and. after putting away seven pounds
and u half of cold boiled beef, observed
cheerfully to the landlords: Capital beef
this! One may cut and come again
here" To which the landlord, regard
ing him grimly. made reply: "You may
cut, but I'm blowed if you shall come
again!"
We are tempted to add one more
story, says Blaekwood's Magazine,
which we believe has not yet found it's
way into print. On the derby n few
years ago well-known man of bust

over bethought himself of lunch. 1t
was then four o'clock and he was raven
ously hungry.
Seeing no friendly coach or carriage
at hand, he entered one of the refresh
ment booths, where three-and-six-
pence meal was provided for all Corners.
He attacked some ribs of beef and soon
cleared them to the bone; then he

at the other end of the table, which had
not yet been touched, and ordered the
waiter to bring it to him. But the
waiter after whispered conference
with an individual in black, who had
been observing Mr. Ms performances
with suspicion and alarm, came and
said coniiolcntially:
IF you please, sir, the governor says
rs how he won't charge you nothing
for anything if you will go away at

Mr.. X, however, insisted on his rights
and declined this obliging offer; then
he proceeded to make n vigorous: on

NJ, !
Roanoke county court convened to-
day, with Judge Griffin presiding, and
the following business was transacted:
The case of Commonwealth VS.. James
Erby, for entering the furnace commits
sary, charged with felony, was called.
Tho prisoner was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty. AS he was not ready for
trial he was remanded to Jail, and the
cases for chicken stealing, of the Com
nonwealth VS.. Robert Smith, Peter
Turner, the snack house keeper, and
the two boys, George cambridge and
Hollis Shaver, were next considered.
Peter Turner, who was defended by
Messrs. j. H. Baer, Pugh Il Moffet and
!. w. nj. McClung. Having elected to be
tried separately the following jury was
empanelled: j. II. Peck, G. L. Good,
Robert Littrell, Eugene Boon, John
p. Huff, w. NJ. Preston, Samuel Martin.
John Stricler, and j. j. Hunton.
Considerable amusement was created
in this case by the testimony of the old
negro, Robert Smith, who told how on
tho morning of Sunday, the 10th instant,
the hoys were all eating Mr.. Prices
chickens in Turner's snackhouse, when
they heard Policeman Johnson was
looking around for the stolen property
and all the feathers were stuffed in the
stove, kerosine oil poured on and all
signs removed.
Some objection was raised to the testi-
mony of an eleven-year-oldh hoy, as to
his youth, when Judge Griffin asked,
hoy, do you know what will happen to
you if you do not tell the truth here?"
Receiving the reply. Yes boss. dat
do, the bad man get me- All the after
noon this trial dragged its weary length
along: at dusk the lamps were lighted,

asked the counsel if they were willing

THE TIMES reporter asked ex-Sheriff
Weber if this had ever been done be-
fore in Roanoke county. to which the
worthy magistrate replied that it was
the first time that he had ever kno an it
to occur. 1t is thoroughly characteris-
tic of Judge Griffin, who undoubtedly is
one of the most energetic hustlers on
the bench that ever spurred the tardy
jade justice into galiop. The worst
feature of this unusual affair is that
one young iuryman had arranged to
spend the evening in the society of his
best girl to bid her fond farewell, as
she is to leave on the late train for
long visit.

Home is n PERSONS estate obtained
without injustice, kept without disquiet-
ude; Il place where time is spent with
out repentance, and which is ruled by
justice, mercy and love.
A grand old mirror through which
both sides of us are seen.
That source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young men and maidens lovingly desire,
which the middle aged generally pos

bee, youth garners the sweets and
memories for age to mediate and feed
upon.
