that much cholera exists in Europe, and

to guard. The new law, however, has inn

There is a gallant congressman who
once had the reputation of sowing wild
oats broadcast, When he was first run
ming for congress, many breezy stories
were told about him. AT last he gave it
out in the heat of his campaign that he
would speak shortly in defense of his
morals. 1t was a Populist district, and
he had big audience. The speech every
one liked, but until the last sentence not
a word was spoken about the advertised
subject. At the last the candidate stuck
his hand under his desk and pulled out
several boxes Of imported cigars.
Gentlemen he cried, II am accused
of having certain bad habits Particular
instances have been alleged in fact. I
wish to make some one in this assem-

: MERClFUL SOLDIER.


An Incident on tho March OF Body OF
Troops Seeking an OUTLAW.
Geronimo, the once powerful and cruel
Indian chieftain of the west, is now quiet
and peaceable prisoner at Mount Vernon
Barracks, an army post upon the Alabama
river, short distance above Mobile. Dur
ing what was known as the Geronimo cam
paign settlers residing upon isolated
ranches in Arizona and New Mexico lived
in constant terror of his raids When one
was reported or feared, those on the line of
the expected raid fed precipitately to the
nearest point of safety-usually an army
post, II it could be reached-there to remain
until the danger was over and then prob
ably to return and find buildings burned, all
live things killed or carried away and prop
erty of every description wantonly de-
stroyed.
In the year 1885 an officer was sent out
with body of troops in pursuit of Geron-
imo who had just passed, leaving desola-
ton in his track. One day he came to a
beautiful ranch showing everywhere the
ownership and care of people of means. 1t
was entirely deserted. Its occupants had
fled, not even taking time to close the doors
of the low, roomy dwelling With one soli-
tary exception, there was no appearance of
life. Chained to n post were couple of
magnificent greyhound puppies of purest
breed. The little creatures lay side by side
upon the ground, nearly famished from
hunger and thirst, almost too weak to give
greeting to what they knew to be the com
ing of friends and help. The captain has
tily dismounted and went to them, his men
crowding around, eager as himself to help.
Water was given them and food from his
own rations, but when they had eaten the
question was what should be done with
thpmS IT. WaQ imnOSgible to Take them
along in so hasty march.
They were too young to hunt for food,
and II turned loose would become the prey
of wolves and coyotes In the inclosure
where they were they were protected. About
12 feet in front of the puppies ran ditch
through which water was flowing, n sight
which had only served to tantalize them,
fastened just out of reach of its cooling
draft. Across the ditch plainly in view lay
the heads of several slaughtered cattle In
the dry atmosphere of that latitude meat
does not decay. so the heads were i'll good
preservation and must have added greatly
to the fierce pangs of hunger of the two
dogs.
The captain had several of the heads
brought aud laid near the dogs-enough to
furnish food for many days, Then from
Toulouse near by he and his men took
spades and shovels and turned the course
of the ditch for few yards, SO that 1t ran
Immediately by the puppies.
After friendly pat to each grateful dog
and CHEEKY word OF encouragement, the
captain mounted his horse and rode away.

emy. whom he would capture and kill if
necessary, had paused to doadeed of mercy
