Her Praver-Book Was Loaded,

There is a suggestive story told of
the misadventure of an elegantly
dressed lady at one Of the resorts on a
recent Sunday. She was on the board
walk just after church time. and her
hair caught in the parasol of another
lady passing. While trying to release
herself she dropped a handsomely
bound volume inscribed: Book of
Common Prayer" upon which a stout
gentleman stepped before he noticed
it. He stopped with profuse apologies
TO pick up the volume, when those
near observed thin stream OF liquid
coming from it while an odor OF cognac
filed the air. The woman who had
dropped it disclaimed ownership and

you look like a circus tent with the

Yes" she replied. in tone which

her up had failed. Take this pin"
took it. graspeG it firmly with the
back of my right arm two inches above
the elbow. She passed it to me just as
any other woman might have done. OF
course she did notlook at NE; her eyes
were fixed upon the marrcr, arl though
my image appeared theme like fathom
and half of black strin & she did not

'If you could pin it this way" she
said, disregarding my hint, lit would

She made fold of the dress, and
got down upon my knees to insert the
pin. At this moment Maud turned
around. so that she could see the back
of the dress in the glass. This left me
idly making holes in the atmosphere

my knees. No amount of piety or
patience can make kneeling posture

and fifty women and

three hundred and fifty women and
children and half as many bucks to
care for. On the morning of December
30 the order was given to disarm the
bucks. A half dozen guns were taken,
and then, at signal, the Indians be-
gan firing.
There, on the banks of Wounded
two officers and twenty-four enlisted
men We're killed and thirty-two were
wounded. The Indians lost 146 killed
and 30 wounded. At Drexel Mission
the following morning one officer and
one enlisted man were killed in an at
tack on a wagon train. These disas-
ters are the last in the list of Indian
battles, and it is to be hoped that his
tory will never show another to rival
them.
To the memory of these comrades the
surviving members of the Seventh cav
airy at once set about erecting mon
ument. The result of subscription
paper showed over s., 900 raised for the
purpose among the troops. On an en-
inence overlooking the Smoky Hill. tho
Republican and Kansas rivers, which
stretch away across the plains, visible
for miles, the shaft was built It is of
Vermont and Massachusetts, granite,
and rests on native limestone founda-
ton fifteen feet square. with flight of
steps on one side. The top of the shaft
is twenty-five feet from the ground, and
the whole effect is most imposing. On
one face of the monument appears this
inscriptions:
