magnetism that drew all the scouts of
his company about him as tacitly
recognized leader. Under Lieutenant
Darr ne had secuted Arizona thor
oughly from Mcdowell south to the
Mexico line and the southern section
of New Mexico, often penetrating 100
to 200 miles south into old Mexico in
pursuit of hostiles. These numerous
scouts were SO carefully and rapidly
performed that the ssKid, !" who by
this time had been made Sergeant,
knew the country quite as well as his
commander, and could locate the posi-
ton of every water hole, spring and
fine pasture.
It is obvious, with such perfect
knowledge of the country, accustomed
to every hardship from childhood, in
ured to every fatigue and privation,
that he could at once be most useful
ally or most dangerous foe. His ex-
perience in the service of the United
States taught him military methods
and tactics. Discipline he always
chafed under, but his individuality
and self-reliance have aided to equip
him as scoundrel far superior to any
of his predecessors, not even accepting
tsMagnus Colorado, the most noted
desperate up to 1855 that this country
ever saw.
In 1888, shortly before General
Crook assumed command of the Terri
tory, there was general disafection
among the reservation Indians, and
this feeling was sympathetically re-
fected even among the Indian scouts.
About this time 160 well-armed and
mounted hostiles of the ChircahHa
tribe came up from Mexico, fell sud
denly on the San Carlos Agency, forced
all members of their nation to join
them, and swept back into Mexico,
leaving trail of blood and fire be-
hind. Some sixty white settlers were
murdered on this raid, and "Kid, /"
who was the First Sergeant of his
company at the time, was on the trail
in rapid pursuit of the marauders
As the trail became hotter the ami
mails of the fleeing hostiles gave out
and were abandoned on the side hills.
1t seemed to make no difference to the
scouts when these animals were I'M

but while swinging through the Las
Animas range the scouts perceived
some abandoned Indian stock, and
among them favorite pony belong
ing to kid" himself, which he had
left at San Carlos with friends for safe
keeping The fact that the hostiles
had stolen Indian horses as well as
those of whites quieted all disaffection
in the company, and the grim determ
ination to avenge the wrong soon be-
came very apparent on the scouts
faces. The hostiles we're caught in

Relics Of the Race at the Fair.

The Anthropological and Archaolo-
gical and Historical Building at the
Fair was designed to show to the peo-
pie who live now what and who were
their predecessors, to settle disputed
questions of pedigree and to prove
that family histories should only be
traced few thousand years backward.

a really comforting thing for the coli

sand the skeleton feels at home save
for the lack of green to cover the

were also shipped, these clamny

A Lesson That Was Appreciated.

There is in the employ of Maiden
Lane house travelling salesman who
is six feet tall and who is not afraid of
anybody or anything. He is habitually
polite, always treats other people with
consideration, and expects to be SO
treated in return
One day the tall salesman entered q
Western retailers store, politely Of
fered his card and awaited the jewell
er's pleasure The merchant delib-
erately threw the card on the floor and
turned away. The tall salesman was
highly incensed by the insult, and
gently touched the jewelers. shoulder
as he said in subdued but determined
tone:
eff you don't pick up that card and
apologize I viii pitch you over your

that his visitor was able to carry his
threat into execution; so he picked up
the card. apologized, and has since
been regular customer of the man

BLUcHER's SADDLE.

manship of this branch of art was of
an elaborate and complex nature.
According to pictorial representa-
tions the saddles used by the Anglo
Saxons were Of primitive order
mere shallow cushions or pads. The
horseman or rider sat low on the
horses back. The pad was frequently
decorated with fringe of tufts OF
hair, probably the tails Of some an
imal. The ends of the pad were
slightly raised with foreshadowing Of
pommel and cantle of later develop
ment. The Normans gave prominence
to pommel and cantle, which in their
hands rose to considerable height in
q curyilinear form. Some excellent
representations of this type are seen in
the celebrated Bayeux tapestry, sup
posed to have been made by Matilda,
the wife of the Conqueror. We must
recall to mind that to the prominent
pommel Of his saddle William the
Conqueror lost his life, for according
to the old historians his horse treadine
on burning embers of the ruined city
Of Nantes reared and threw his rider
upon the prominent iron pommel q
the saddle, which pierced his body and
caused his death.

covering Of tanned pigskin is stretched,
while stirrups hung to the same stout
leather complete the structure. The
difference betweed this war saddle and
that Of the Thirteenth Century
portrayed by Violet le Due, supplied
with high and pointed cantle, against
which the knight was propped, while
he held his lance before him in firm
and straight attitude, is as great as the
contrast drawn by Sir Walter Scott
in ssThe Talisman" of the two knights
that met in the desert Kenneth,
of Scotland, mounted on a massive
Norman war horse and the Sultan on
his agile Arab steed
The art of horsemanship dates from
remote antiquity, but it is not known
when saddles came into existence, and
for centuries only a cloth separated
the rider from his horse. While
plumes rose above horses heads and
bits and brides were of solid gold,
while flowing tassels streamed from the
harness, bells made music for the
necks and the richest embroidered
cloths covered the horses sides, the
Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians and
Greeks, despite these elegancies, rode
on simple pads or cushions similar to
those still used by the Bedouins of
Asia. The Scandinavians, however,
used the saddle as far back as the Iron
Age, and the bronze pommels and stir
